@Toegun I made the same purchase—a really great deal. The texture of the barley twist fabric is really extraordinary, as comes across nicely in your photos, and the dyes have taken so well to it. In addition to the tan wattle Millwheel, I also picked up an Achilles Heel indigo Didcot shirt in the winter sales. I just can't get enough of the barley twist!

 

 

Also - this should make everyone really happy, but we've moved away from using Smartpost as the free shipping option.  Orders being shipped to commercial addresses will ship via Fedex Ground and residential orders will ship via USPS Priority Mail.  No more packages taking 5 days to go 2 miles.

 

This is truly excellent news - thanks for pandering to our impatience. Has this already taken effect? I am thinking of placing an order in the next few days...

@sombrero for the Greaser we got restocks on the White Oak, 15 oz, and new 17 oz, Candiani, 23 oz collect, and Black Maria restocks. We are cutting the 10 oz JAP. deadstock with Nep a little later for summer. 

Glad people are liking the 23 oz I thought the stitching looked good for such a heavy fabric. 

 

I'm holding out for the 10 oz. That is, if my memory is correct that you're cutting the fabric in Chelsea...

Are there going to be more denims coming out for the Greasers soon or is it just the 17oz Cone and Candiani? Does anyone know how the Candiani fades?

 

Also how does the 15oz Cone compare to the 13? I have the 13oz's now and I think I want my next pair to be a bit different.

 

I have a pair of 15 oz Chelseas. The denim is more different from the 13 oz than I was expecting. It's extremely soft out of the box, and feels really substantial. Others may be able to confirm or contradict my intuition here, but the weave feels looser. I really dig this fabric, and it's wearing in nicely. Pity it's too heavy for summer in the Northeast!

I gotta say, the double felled inseam is probably the most attractive thing about Left Field to me. There is not a visible overlock stitch on these jeans, and I love that. 

 

Seconded. 

I live in CT, about an hour and a half away from NYC. In the past, my Left Field orders shipped via FedEx Smartpost have gone to a USPS distribution center in Boston, and end up taking about 5 business days in total. It isn't really a problem, but it always seems a little perverse that the packages probably go right past me, up to Boston, and then back down again. I'm no logistics expert, but this seems unnecessary...

New site looks good.

All four items are priced to include shipping via USPS Priority to CONUS. If you would like more details, photographs, measurements, or want to make a reasonable offer, don't hesitate to PM me!

First, two items from Albam.

1. Albam Artisan Shirt, Rupert Plaid, Size 2 - $110

This shirt is crafted from a beautiful Japanese cotton/wool blend (80/20), and features the top-notch construction which is the brand's focus. Great details (tab collar, button pocket, reinforced collar and elbows) Sold out since January. They are still selling a scarf in the same material, so if you want a better look point your browser here. Note: Albam size 2 is normally equivalent to a Medium, but (as the measurements below illustrate) the Artisan shirts ran large, and this 2 is really a large. Thus I am selling the shirt, since unfortunately it is too large for me. Purchased new from the Upper Street Albam store in December.

Pit to pit: 23 inches

Shoulder to shoulder: 19 inches

Length: ~32 inches from bottom of collar

Arm: 27.5 inches

2. Albam Chino Shorts, Rasberry, Size 3 (34-36) - $60

I purchased these shorts last summer in both Navy and Rasberry. Since then, I have lost weight, and they no longer fit. The navy pair now belongs to my father, but the Rasberry still needs a new home. The color is terrific, a muted terra cotta, and the material is the perfect weight for summer. Again: beautiful construction (made in England from Italian fabric), and simple but functional detailing. Note: there is slight discoloration midway down the left-hand leg, on the back and near the seam. I have tried to capture it but the lighting isn't ideal. If you're concerned, let me know and I will try to get a better photograph.

Waist (flat, across): 17.5 inches

Rise: 11 inches

Length: 20.5 inches

Hem: 11 inches

And two Gitman Bros Vintage shirts, both size Medium...

3. (Right) Gitman Vintage Light Blue Stripe, M - $120

From the current season. I think it's this one. Looking to recover most of what I paid when I purchased it new at Unionmade in April. Still in great condition. All the standard GBV detailing (box pleat, locker loop, etc.). In the interest of full disclosure, I scorched the collar ironing it a month ago, but was able to remove the scorch marks. There's still one tiny point of discoloration inside the collar, but it is impossible that anyone, including the wearer, might notice this while the shirt is on your body.

Pit to pit: 21 inches

Shoulder to shoulder: 19 inches

Arm: 25 inches

Length: ~32 inches from bottom of collar

4. (Left) Gitman Vintage Red Stripe, M (with darts) - $80

Purchased about a month ago from another member. Hoping to recover exactly what I paid. I've worn it twice since receiving it. It is still in superb condition. The previous owner had it darted, as you can see in the photographs below, reducing some of the bulge when tucked in.

Pit to pit: 21 inches

Shoulder to shoulder: 18.5 inches

Arm: 25 inches

Length: ~31 inches from bottom of collar

prices dropped (McNairy pants); Albam blazer added

BNWT Albam Casual Blazer, Cola, Sz. 2 (M) - $200

Unfortunately a little too short for me. In their words: "This is a new style of blazer based on notes from our customers. This unlined blazer fits neatly without being restrictive. Available in either Italian cotton (the same as that used in our Taper Chino) or enzyme washed Japanese chambray. Multiple hidden pockets for phone and wallet concealed within the lower patch pockets. 100% Cotton. Crafted in England." Great details like reinforced elbows and a chambray breast pocket. Beautiful construction. Would cost $225-240 new from Albam to ship from the UK to the US, so this is a bargain. Happy to ship to the UK, which would amount to a pretty good discount (since I'm selling the blazer reduced from the price I paid, which didn't include VAT). PM for measurements.

Next, two pairs of Mark McNairy pants, both size 36. Asking 99 --> 80 usd shipped for each. Happy to cut a deal for the pair. PM me regarding international shipping. Both pairs have been worn a couple of times and washed. Except for a minor discoloration on the cargo pants (pictures below), these are practically new (I purchased them in February, and they were way too big for me).

The first pair, Painter Pants in a dark navy, are exactly like those pictured here, cotton blend. I guess that makes them more like these, but for less than half the price. The second photograph isn't great, but I'm trying to show the true color, which is pretty dark.

Measurements:

Waist: 18 in

Front Rise: 10 in

Back Rise: 13.5 in

Upper Thigh: 13 in

Leg Opening: 8.5 in

Inseam: 35 in

The Cargo Pants are really cool. The color is a very light khaki. As I mentioned above, there is a small discolored spot on the right back pocket. I don't know where this came from, especially since I only wore them 2 times. It's hardly noticeable though, and I've tried my best to capture it in the close-up, but it's very faint. Edit: The fabric is also a cotton/poly blend.

See a large version of the close-up here.

Measurements:

Waist: 18 in

Front Rise: 10 in

Back Rise: 13.5 in

Upper Thigh: 13.5 in

Leg Opening: 8.5 in

Inseam: 35 in

All items are priced including shipping to the US; PM me re: international shipping.

I'd really like to clear this stuff out, so send me your offers!

Gitman Vintage in Black/Yellow/White Plaid - Size L - $95 shipped

I'm sorry to part with this shirt, because I love the plaid. I purchased it new at Unionmade in October (and you can read more here). Worn pretty frequently in the last few months, but I have finally accepted the fact that Gitman's sizing just doesn't quite work for me. I moved the buttons in on the cuffs because I have narrow wrists, but this can easily be reversed with no damage done with a few minutes' work or a couple of dollars to have it done professionally.

J. Crew Critter Sweater, Green with Blue Critters (marlins) - Size M - $25 shipped

Purchased on eBay a while ago, in very good condition. I've worn it twice, but I have the same sweater in Blue/Red, so I don't see the point in hanging onto this. Made in Japan. 100% cotton.

J. Crew Cotton-Cashmere Sweater, Pony Brown - Size L - $20 shipped

Too large for me. Worn a handful of times, and washed once. From Fall 2010; I think they changed the blend ratios for this season, but correct me if I'm wrong! 95% cotton, 5% cashmere.

Bump: still coveting.

Subject says it all. Looking for McNairy oxfords in size Medium, and Albam outerwear (especially Fisherman's Cagoule) in size 2.

I'm guessing there's no way these are still available?

Title says it all: I'd like to get my hands on a pair of the Quoddy x Albam grizzly boots, Size 9.5 UK, in either black or burgundy.

Would also be willing to trade for a pair of Quoddy x Albam Oxford Maliseets in Navy/Gum, Size 10 UK, in really good shape.

Always interested in Albam outerwear (Size 2) as well...

I live in the US but travel a lot to the UK, and have addresses in both.

Title says it all. I would really like to get my hands on an Albam Spring Hillwalker in any color but yellow, Size 2.
