Chore coats

[Rivet Head]

Careful now, if you're too good at it they'll be lined up out the door to get their Pointer's fixed....me first!

[UkeNo]

Me and I think Riff will be in that que too please

[rnrswitch]

We'll see how long it takes to fix the collar this weekend and if it ain't too long, then I will do it for some folks if needed.

I ain't gonna go through and fell everybody's seams though. That would just take too long.

Selling this (too big; check sig) but I thought a nice vintage jacket would be a nice addition to the thread. Picked it up from Crownzip a while ago, but I've lost some weight. Anyway, it's a sweet jacket.

^ excellent work switch ^

Someone should buy this 40's chore coat w/ laurel leaf buttons

[Rivet Head]

Looks fantastic Rn'R! What's your address so I can mail mine off to you?

[alkemy]

How 'bout putting up some side by side before and after shots of the collar?

Great look, too. Sort of a tiny shawl collar.

Vintage Hercules coat F/S on ebay

[marineabilly]

Spent some time with Tadashi and Shogo of Lightning Magazine at my house yesterday and Shogo had the most KILLER chore coat with brown leather trim. Shoulda asked him what and where.

[Mr Black]

Not heard of this brand before, but this could be a bit of a bargain for someone.

Apologies if any of you were keeping tabs on this.

[fardin]

Took the plunge on a brown duck chore coat from Pointer Brand - not expecting to be blown away but hoping for a solid garment.

[marineabilly]

Fardin - they checked out a few things, but we just kinda hung out.

great deal on a vintage made in usa rrl chore coat. probably will fit someone who normally wears a xxl

Here's my hickory striped chore jacket by pointer. I had the collar lined &shortened, with navy medium corduroy.

Shortened the difference

I also shortened the collar on my denim chore jacket, debating on lining the collar with corduroy or some type of leather.

[thecolosseum]

Sorry to ask do, pointers run big or small?

[robbie]

I think they tend to run big. everyone I know with one has a small or extra small.

[xchen]

Mine came today and I love it. I'd say they run true. I wouldn't suggest sizing down in these.

[fattybfat]

dont size down, i wash mine today and it shrink overall abt 2-3 %

[akiragreat]

got a pointer the other day...I went with a medium, should I have gotten a large? I feel good in it right now but 'm wondering about the shrinkage...

[jetpackbrontosaurus]

Sorry to ask do, pointers run big or small?

bought mine over a year ago and i thought they were pretty big at first, but after a couple washes it shrank a bit so i'd say go true to size.

other than that the sleeves are ridic. long for whatever reason so i always have to roll up the cuffs

[pepper davies]

I've got a hickory stripe pointer in size Medium that I would let go for around half price. Shoot me a PM if interested. As Robbie says, I would probably need an XS now.

[thecolosseum]

Thanks for the the info. helps a lot!

[hollowsleather]

Alright, which one of you jerks just won that Stronghold chore on eBay?

[marineabilly]

^Ha! I was going to place a bid, but decided against it as there are just too many things I want...gotta prioritize my wants or I'll just have too many things in my closet that won't get any attention. Great price!!

So who was it? (Chant) Jerk, Jerk, Jerk, Jerk...

[pepper davies]

Hi guys. I've got this K&TH chore coat that I'm trying to move. Size 42. I need money pretty bad and for the next 24 hours only I'll let it go for $100. Essentially unworn condition. Maybe 3 wears.
