Americana

[Before the Dawn]

A one-stop shop to discuss menswear blogs, vintage shops, barbour jackets, obscure moccasin outfitters, heritage lines, collaborations, MOP buttons, ivy, organically sourced oxford cloth, chambray boxers, using outdated hood slang when talking about overpriced "everyman" wear, and speculation on what type of toothpaste mark mcnairy uses.

I'll start w/ how the amazingness that is the new filson x levis trucker jacket:

[branespload]

Male bloggers are only interesting behind their computers, and even then that's a stretch.

I like that shooting shirt, was considering buying a Woolrich one this year but the price is looking good. Not surprised that type III is selling out so quick.

Use Active2010. i used that shit on the typeiii and it worked. might be good for the shooter too. Shit is too ill, just wish i had some scratch left over for it.

The Type III is a perfect Fall jacket. Makes me glad i didn't cop the supreme timberline from last year...

[Dead_Wizard]

Coupon code took me down to 58 for the shirt. Wasn't working on the cruiser though. Thanks again.

and yea, I would have bought the type 3 if I didn't have my timberline.

Orvis taking Americana to the next level, where else can you buy a vintage pick up truck along with some Made in American denim?

I'm surprised Michael Williams hasn't jerked off on that yet.

Surprised to see Stronghold on there and I haven't seen anyone carry Taylor Supply... weird.

Also, what kind of behind-the-curtain Orvis development page did you link to?

[sea bass]

the union made online shop carries some taylor supply stuff ... looks kind of cool, but nothing really grabbed my attention.

[shoreman1782]

^Don't think I'd ever checked out union made online. Good shit.

Also, decent number of reports on styleforum on the Levis Filson stuff. I picked up the type III and dig it.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

could you comment on sizing that filson/levi's trucker?

i've read that you should size up

truth?

[shoreman1782]

I consider myself an American size large/42R and that's a large, so I didn't size up. I'd say it's slim fitting. It's a little weird for a tin cloth jacket, b/c Filson tin pieces (IME) tend to leave a good deal of room for layers and movement, and this does not.

If you'd like measurements or other points of reference let me know.

Also, for folks checking out Americana/Japanese Americana blogs, mistercrew is where it's at.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

yeah, i looked at the size chart and it didn't seem undersized at all

was even contemplating sizing down one

i looked over the steezforum thread and was chagrined that no one seemed to know how trucker jackets are supposed to fit (except you and arethusa)

looks like a cool piece

wish it didn't have the handwarmer pockets though

and the piece would make so much more sense lined

wish they'd have given levi's cone denim the filson oil treatment

that'd have been the business

i am not sure why you'd want the cruiser in denim

non-sensical to me

the denim plus tin cloth tote is the only piece that looks like a perfect marriage of the two brands

[Before the Dawn]

^Not sure I agree w/ your trucker-fit sentiments. according to the filson website:

We suggest ordering up one size from your regular size: S(36), M(38), L(40), XL(42)

[denimdestroyedmylife]

38 is normally a medium, isn't it?

i'm a 38 chest and i am a medium in most everything

anyway, i ordered a small because it was all that i could get my hands on and it feels like a 36

i can button it up but it feels a bit restrictive

about to send it back in a couple hours unless someone here wants at it

nice jacket though

desperate to get one in a medium

[Dead_Wizard]

RE: Shooting shirt from collection--Sizing is ridiculous. L went down to my knees, has like a 48" chest and the roominess in the arms makes it look like you're a member of the Swiss Guard.

I fucking hate what "Americana" is today.

Straight white-boy, khaki wearin', bow–tie havin', boat shoe wearin', simple ass bloggers.

It's supposed to be all manly and rough but in reality you either look like a logger or a rich kid from the east coast.
