Denim Shirts

[holio cornolio]

^ Epic shirts there. Is number 2 the golden nugget?

 

This inspired me to get my Dong (Bob) on today (incidentally, I got bored with the nasty white plastic buttons and replaced them with slightly less nasty cheap black ones). here's a chesty with an artfully inserted part finger

I need to take some pictures of my PBJ western shirt and RgT Utility shirt because I just washed them.  Although, there hasn't been much fading.

PBJ Western shirt

 

I purchased this from Foxy around May 2014.  7 washes.  Sized down and it fits very snug on me.  I did a repair darn and there is a hole forming at the elbow, but besides that the shirt is still in good condition.  I'm surprised that it's a slow fader because I wear it weekly with pretty good wears.  Anyways, I still like the shirt. I probably won't be repairing it and go for the more "worn-in/rocker" look.

Thats pretty interesting Chubacca.  Like the shirt on the whole isn't very faded but the elbow and forearms are destroyed.

[bradl]

Has to be super tight on the arms judging by the combs, that might be why.

X-post from IH thread

The sun hit the shirt this friday. I just had to pick up my camera and take some photos.

153 days 1 soak.

Been looking at denim westerns a lot lately and really want one now , want a used/vintage one though

Anyone interested in selling me a used denim western shirt ?? Any japanese brand with the exception of samurai and iron heart ( to fit a 38 chest )

Stevenson makes some of the coolest looking traditional denim shirts, probably a bit more actually "western" than the ones IH/FH/Samurai produce.

@ Flash how about this one

[Flash]

Is this yours ? If so I'll take it

[goodrain]

No it's not I saw it when I was looking at other TFH stuff

[Maynard Friedman]

Does anyone know where I could still get a western denim shirt like these (that's the FH 7005 and WH3001)? I don't like the style with a fancy shoulder yoke.

I know TCB offer a similar style but does anyone else?

Bronson and Bob Dong

^After offering the sawtooth for so long, LVC I notice made a slant pocket this past year. I know I noticed it in some European stores and maybe a few US stores, but can't find them. At any rate, Pants Shop Avenue has it:

If you skip down to page 62 (or something) of this fall/winter lvc 2015 lookbook you'll see something along the lines of the 50s slant pocket (identifiably the same but a bit uglier than others).

Spellbound makes (made) one:

Personally, I prefer the Flathead.

I'm not sure if this belongs in this thread, but still related to denim shirts so this is my best bet.

Any recommendations on (affordable) wabash shirts? I know red cloud has one in stock but I prefer the striped ones over the dotted version of red cloud

Edited March 2, 2016 by greathoudini

[goodrain]

I think Red Cloud makes striped ones as well?

You're right, I missed them while checking.

Anyone has any experience with those? Or other good options?

I might check with oldblue as well if they might release something soon

Houston (check on Rakuten) has some relatively cheap ones.

How does the wabash printing technique work? 

[Broark]

There's a nice little writeup on the Iron Heart forum about wabash: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=3915.0

[Bobbo]

Thanks mate!

I have been using my Nudie Gunnar shirt a bit over summer.

So here is another update

Bumping this q. Not really interested in Bob Dong or Bronson, and want to see if there's more out there other than that LVC one.

[okisan]

Burgus Plus do one. It's a one wash made from a very nice neppy selvedge denim.

[itsbenhere]

Maynard/brad, any reason to not go for the FH?

[SuperJackle]

I've been considering this one from FC for awhile.

Also, not sure if it appeals to either of you guys, but I like the modern western from Freenote as well.

[Maynard Friedman]

I couldn't find the FH one (7005) but got a Joe McCoy in the end.

TFH is considerably more than most, coming in near $350 cad buying from Japan.

Those pockets look like I could carry an ipad around in them, and thinking something raw.

 

@maynard mind linking me the one you picked up, and how are you liking it?
