Yeah it does have a corduroy collar. I've heard them referred to as hunting and barn coats jackets barn coats. Carhartt refers to it as a chore coat - so thats what I've gone with. Thats a nice EG jacket. My worry with ecru pants and jackets is dirt. Do you have trouble keeping it reasonably clean looking?

It depends on the coat and how you pull it off for sure. For me I usually steer clear. With that said, I've been eyeing non-denim chore coats but the denim ones always pull me back in. Currently I have a denim pointer and a canvas carhartt with the blanket lining. I really love the carhartt. Its great for NC winters and I think its a good look. The pointer is nice but there are more interesting options out there. I really liked the TCB chore jacket - I think this is discontinued now. The new TCB version looks great but I don't know if I'm ready for the extra details - tilted pocket, whatever the arm / shoulder design is called...I like it but I'm not sure about it yet. Carhartt + TCB 20s + go twinkies

Has anyone been following whats going on with this Vidalia mills / white oak loom connection? It seems legit that they bought the looms from White Oak and are now producing fabric. Is there any hope that LVC will return to US production and US fabric? I'm interested to see the results from left field. Edit: I just saw the posts in the cone closing thread. Maybe should have put this there - oh well. The fabric looks promising from the imogene + willie pics etc... They don't have the looms on a wooden floor of course.

Yeah denim chore coat + denim pants is a certain no go.

That’s a great coat. I love chore coats but must stay away from any that make me look like some sort of railroad worker.

Paul those are beautiful. edit; and congrats on the new job!

@Paul T what do you think about the rise?

Let’s stay on track. Still down. We all know who/what Ed is.

I’ve been washing mine whenever they’re lookin’ all stretched out and frumpy. Doesn’t take long. I do think it’s a good idea to go as long as possible at first.

slow and steady, my second pair of 50s 3 years old

I think I’ll still be in for this. I’ve got to sell some things though.

my Vote is for the 1946 1003xx I’d we’re doin the wwii thing. I’m kinda over the novelty of the painted arcs.

yes!! edit - you think it’s Japan only? I love my orange tabs but would love a red tab version

Warehouse! Always wanted to try but never ponied up.

Man this really sucks. I haven’t seen the new LVC in person yet but Jeeze. It sounds bad. If I knew it was gonna be this bad I might have bought more. I did get a 1955 in the big sell off of the musa stuff but now I’m kinda wishing I got a 1947. Who wants to trade?
