Things are starting to get interesting...(for me)...

for me too!  I'm not sure what size I'd be, as the size charts seem to run larger for a tagged size than I'm used too... 

@Taylor_RFG Steven's Journeyman's are looking good! 

[JDelage]

Those Journeymen look good. I have too many jeans right now, otherwise I'd cop a pair.

Here is a peak at our collab coat with Blue Seven. Releasing on May 12th during their Clean Start event at shop in Oklahoma! Steven and I will be there to hangout and do some denim care giveaways. 

[Taylor_RFG]

We have gotten lots of requests for a denim trousers, Steven found this beautiful 12 ounce Japanese "nep" fabric that works perfectly! I took some photos and we released it yesterday, its up on our site. Same specs as our other Flight Trousers. We have have a new Service Coat made out of the same fabric, ill post more pictures of the Service Coat 2 soon!

23 ounce Railcar

How many of you are interested?

@Taylor_RFG - can you provide any further info on the denim, such as sanforized (I think you said somewhere it is), which mill produced it, how much further will it stretch/shrink, type of cotton, etc.? Do you use differetn thread on these than you other denims/fabrics due to the weight? I'm interested, especially at the new price, but I'm also interested in your 15oz denim too. Such tough decisions... and, I'm not sure which fit, as my my body weight has fluctuated at lot in  the past several months. Right now, I could probably pull off the Spikes. But a year ago, no way, and a year from now, who knows. Thanks Taylor! mpp

It is sanforized denim, shrinkage isnt something you would have to worry about too much, anything that tightens up with most likely stretch back out with regular wear. It stretches about a half inch in waist overtime. I couldn't button mine the first time trying it on but after a few hours of just wearing it around, I was able to button it all the way up so it does take some break in period. The X034 has triple needle stitching, for the 23oz its a double stitch, we use the same color thread. Spikes fit is the most popular and works well on most body types. We recommend sizing up on sizes 33 and above because those sizes run a bit smaller than our normal specs. Both great styles.

On the Railcar Women's side we finally released a selvedge Donna High Waist! Made from 12 ounce about 3% stretch indigo selvedge. This fabric is a very good weight it feels nice and thick with a good amount of stretch to keep your figure nice and condensed but still super comfortable/soft. This will also be limited since we only have a few rolls of this X046 denim. 

Here is Sarah our production girl, she is wearing a size 27 fresh off the machines.

Our first proprietary denim was a 15 ounce slubby dark indigo denim Spikes X034, it quickly became one of our best sellers so Steven wanted to develop something a little lighter in weight with a different unique texture. Here is newly released 13.6 ounce Spikes X042, check out the site for more info!

Steven and I have been working on a new and improved website for a couple of weeks now, it is finally launched with higher quality photos/ more info about our styles and workshop. We also have some new preorders and custom short runs available, some at discount. 

It is also more mobile friendly and easier to navigate. It just launched yesterday so there might still be some bugs, however we are going to keep updating everything as much as we can, and hopefully this can become a great platform to learn about denim/ what we do here at Railcar! 

Let us know what you think, check out the link below.

Yes! You are correct, we still very much want to start our knitwear. However, there is just SO much going on here at the workshop. It is definitely something we want to get started on soon, maybe for the winter season.

These will be in stock so get one while we have them running through production and ready to go. Here are fit pictures, I am wearing a size xs and Steven is wearing a small.

Railcar Boot-Resole Service is active online now. Here is a picture of some Thorogoods in works of getting re-soled. Sal hand-stitched a leather welt on, it was originally made with a plastic welt (many boots are) which wears down and cracks over time. A leather welt will last much longer and wont dry up. Ill post the finished product when he is done!

We took our Denim Care to the Santa Anita Race Track the other day for Zuffenhausen Car Show. We try to get out there as much as we can to spread the Railcar vibe around. Any shows you guys think we'd fit well in?

@Taylor_RFG Does the 23oz tend to have less stretch/shrink?
