I think my post asking what size shirt you got and what your measurements are also got deleted. So what size did you go with? And what chest/arm measurements do you have.

[totaltrash]

I am a skinny ass dude so I went with an M. I usually get a 38 chest and my arms tend to be a little too long for most things that fit so I don't sweat that too much especially if I am wearing the sleeves rolled up most of the time.

Nice shirt and great look TT!

[SLAB]

Saw that on there yesterday....have a KT&H remake (with chinstrap) of the same shirt. This one is gonna pop for a pretty penny I think.

[TinyLegs]

what do you guys suggest for a really skinny guy like me? i've been looking longingly at these workshirts but most size S shirts fit like tents.

are there any makers that run smaller than usual?

[daveo]

Have you tried only domestic brands size S or have you tried a S in a Japanese brand?

having looked up measurements for the japanese brands from selfedge, it seems they run just as big :\

key concept: WORK SHIRTS. people who do manual labor and need something to cover their bodies while allowing for excellent range of motion.

probably people who are not reading this thread

either way try left field and full count --they tend to have more fitting to them.

Im sure you all know but there is a workshirt in Supreme's s/s line.

[chris_n]

don't forget the moleskines

don't forget durable/functional..

and actually you will find that quite a few of us work in fields that are labor intensive.

i work for a consulting arborist/tree service, though i just work in the office now. they're ordering new work shirts for the pruning crew. like neon safety green ones. think i should get in on that???

[jstavrin]

This shirt is VERY tempting, though I don't know if I need yet another blue shirt.

I don't mean to rehash an old argument or incite ire, but having worked construction and having friends who still do, I'm just a bit put off that western shirts aren't included herein.

I can appreciate the aesthetic distinction; the fits and cuts are different and the respective histories are distinct, but, today, I bet you would see more western shirts among construction and manual labor folk and their foremen than what here is considered workwear attire. And since the kind of workwear shirts that are posted here are not necessarily all repros, it seems like an arbitrary distinction.

A western shirt is just as often a utility garment designed with function in mind as anything this thread is after.

[zissou]

Already over $500!

Holy shit! $2,125.00

[Shorty Long]

I was just about to post the same. That's amazing. Even more amazing if the seller actually receives the cash!

Holy shit! $2,125.00

Here is a pic from the WAYWT thread of the polka dot stifel print Freewheeler shirt. Probably the most interesting and seemingly authentic shirt.

Just got this SDA shirt in as well. A beautiful shirt, but a little surprised that the sleeve/body seam is overlocked and not felled. This could be because the heavy weight of the chambray may be too bulky for that seam and prevent it from draping correctly. As SLAB has pointed out before the measurements are a little awkward. The chest and length is perfect for me, but the sleeves are about an inch too long on me. I may do some altering on the length when I get my sewing chops up to snuff, but until then I think it fits pretty damn well.

The fabric is thick as hell and can take some punishment. This is a five button shirt, but two of the buttons are concealed, a nice little detail. Anyways, without further ado, I give you the SDA 11oz chambray shirt.

[almostnice]

cant see it.

could you also post pics of your SDA,and maybe tell what you dont like,cheers.

[almostnice]

youve beaten me by a second,nevermind...

+1 for the westerns!

How does on justify $2,125.00 on a shirt? Especially in this economy. It's probably not an individual purchasing it. Could be purchased for a Clothing Company.
