I wanted to get a little clip pen for my son to put into his pocket, but I thought of the consequences (blue stains all over the house) and rethought.

Maybe cigarettes are the better option.

Good call. Its not like he can light them up... or can he? then you are really screwed!

I have the XL blue one. Gave it a hot wash and put it in the dryer and it shrank down about an inch. Did the same thing to the gray one and it lost about half an inch.

Exchanged the gray one of a large and love the fit. Got to find some time to swap out the blue one for a L.

The red one looks really nice. Plus it has all nice details like the blue one. Strange that they did not make the gray one the same.

Thanks a ton.

Jcrew shirt and khakis, Red wing leather.

got 4 compliments on the shirt/boots at the bar.

[jstavrin]

Looks pretty costumey tbh.

[mpcec]

That doesn't look costumey at all... looks really average/ normal. The fit on the items is good, the styling is simplistic and the pieces themselves don't stand out in any way. (Not meant to sound like a bad thing in case it does)

[jstavrin]

it's not the pieces at all, it's just they way they happen to fit. It looks off.

Don't really get what's costumey on it but oh well.

It is extremely simple, but I'm just going for clean basics. This was last friday, and I got the jcrew mens catalog this tuesday, and there's a fit almost exactly the same in it, I chuckled a bit.

I think it actually looks the opposite of costume like. Minus the boots, just about anyone could be wearing this outfit. BTW, I buy the J. Crew stuff to wear to work as business casual.

I can't believe that I never saw the movie Boxcar Bertha before. I absolutely hate the fact that they completely (and unnecesarily) destroy two beautiful antique cars in it, but the whole flick is an unending parade of old-time workwear. Considering that it was made in 1972, it's likely that most if not all of it was original vintage. I think it tops Oh Brother Where Art Thou.

Warning for the above, you have to see David Carradine naked.

(but then there's Barbara Hershey as well...)

Is that naked with a noose around his neck? Cuz that movie was shot a few months ago.

[jstavrin]

Sheeeeeeit.

Anybody have this shirt from K&TH (or it's brother with the same fabric)? I have had it for some time and have not washed it. I was wondering what the shrinkage is like. I can probably handle a little bit, but not much.

[coleslawyum]

^^I had them laundered at the local dry cleaning spot twice already. The fabric doesn't really shrink at all.

Cold water soak with a mild detergent and hang dry.

Alex3000 - some Iron Hearts shirts go up to XXL (48" chest measurement). If you don't like western style shirts just wait couple months. Iron Heart Spring collection includes heavy selvedge chambray workshirt ---> http://www.ironheart.jp/products/IHSH-21.html
