gimmegimme 62,968 Posted October 16, 2008 Is there a dedicated workshirt thread? I couldn't find one... Anyhoo, I'm looking for a nicely made workshirt. Specifically, something sturdy, not necessarily denim (I'm not going for the cowboy look), and not really into plaid. I see lots of options from FH, Sam, etc. etc. Any comments or experience? Are the arms typically short like the japanese denim jackets? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
denimdestroyedmylife 1,666,991 Posted October 16, 2008 great thread idea. i am fond of the engineered garments 19c chambray bd, and their workshirts look nice and worky, though i aint have 'un, though they will prolly be plaid. so yeah. sturdy, side gussets, MOP buttons, boxy cut, vintage fabrics. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fardin 217,658 Posted October 16, 2008 at last great idea, i didnt have the guts to open this thread sugarcane, buzz rickson, bootleggers reunion, the workers.net , cushman or warehouse they all have exeprional workshits, and the details are unbelievable http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/fortyniners1849/bootvintag2.html 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mich 149,424 Posted October 16, 2008 Got the Sam hickory stripe workshirt. Great shirt as it comes to material and details, 10oz selvage hickory stripe denim so it doesn't give you the cowboy look. The sleeves run short, and actually the Samurai shirts run small in general, be sure to size up at least one from your normal size. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
superBobo 353,290 Posted October 16, 2008 Im a big fan of the Engineered Garments chambray workshirt. Nice fit, quality and some hard to get details. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

denimdestroyedmylife 1,666,991 Posted October 16, 2008 the jah cru chambray shirt is drool cool with that collar tab thing oh yes but manufactured by abused children with bloody fingers in some country without indoor plumbing i suspect 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
superBobo 353,290 Posted October 16, 2008 ^^ its sweet indeed. Another great (and cheap) chambray option is the Ralp Lauren western chambrays that are all over ebay. The fabric is a nice lighter brushed chambray, and the cut is on the slim side. More of a cowboy look though. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gimmegimme 62,968 Posted October 16, 2008 Which do y'all prefers? I'll be wearing it with dark denimz. Number A: Letter 2: I like Number A's details better, but I think Letter 2's colour will be less clashy. What ch'all think? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coleslawyum 661,212 Posted October 16, 2008 Need more pics…… ^^^The top one is cool. Colors are nice too. I will post some of mine when I get a chance. Do western shirts count? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grouse_allergy 219,328 Posted October 16, 2008 I agree, the first one has some nice details, like the placket and short cuffs (I think) as well as the color, but you're right, the second will probably go better with dark jeans. Both nice, though. The fit looks great for J. Crew, which I always thought made only big billowy shirts. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chambray western though, which in my opinion takes away from the cowboy feel alot. I agree on the regular plaid styles. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daveo 9,686 Posted October 17, 2008 Some AWESOME shirts this page! Unfortunately, most are too rich for my blood. Who makes the non-IH hickory stripe up there? Anything with this style on the cheap (relatively speaking)? Edit: I just snooped some image names, it's a Samurai. Nice. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
