Workshirts

[Supawiwi]

GranPa's cleaning his room! Got some nice stuff from the old times!

Here is the weirdest workshirt ever. The back is so long and look at the front!

edit: sorry don't know why the pictures are not rotating

[superBobo]

^^ nothing weird, just the old style of shirts...

[Supawiwi]

never seen that kind of front.

[jubei]

it looks like a pull over, but they've pleated it on the outside rather than than the inside. half button pull overs were a little more common in the earlier part of the century, but I've never seen one like this.

In the olden days, tailors were more mindful of matching fabric patterns on a garment, but this is sometimes overlooked with mass-produced garments today. Usually that is something that you will only see on A) simply patterned garments or High grade artisanal goods (like Bespoke suits).

It looks like the creator of that shirt didn't really care for that, which is definitely not to say it's a low quality shirt. It's actually kind of charming.

If it is what I think it is, then the front pleat is there in order to create an overlap for the buttons, so instead of having a seperatly inlaid button placket, it is just a part of the front. It's just a super simple construction thing.

It's kind of hard to explain but makes perfect sense once you see it.

I have a popover shirt myself with the same thing, and have been looking into using the feature for future shirts...

[jubei]

^fwiw, I think workshirts would be an excellent fit for Wild Child.

On it already, first samples in our hands yesterday. Shhhhhhhh....

[hollowsleather]

I'm liking this one:

There's not enough herringbone in the world.

[Charlie Delta]

That is amazing!

Is it vintage?

edit: ah no. Samurai it seems, they did a really good job on that one!

that hercules a bit back is sick

I picked up a woolrich woolen mills Upland BD recentley feels a little over engineered imo

but I like the boxy fit

(not my pics)

I agree. More pictures here.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

hey i had my eye on that eccles

but i dislike how wwm x daiki suzuki does the front pocket on many of their shirts

a little lurid-----i expect to reach into it to find throbbing testes

[Eccles]

I wear it to work with my work pants and work shoes

and then sit at my desk

actually i agree I wish I had picked the cruiser shirt instead of/as well as

a little slimmer

and sans testes

Just picked up this Studio d'Artisan workshirt. It is a dark, heavy chambray that is sanforized, stiff, and a bit hairy. It's a wonderful shirt.

Lined tab collar:

Redline selvage gusset, lined cuffs, and chainstitch runoff:

[robbie]

this is not a chambray, but it is a work shirt and I thought some might appreciate some of the cool details.

just thought i'd share, if it was a mistake I will go ahead and apologize now.

How much was it? Looks like the same script for the over priced Self Edge shirts.

[daveo]

I SE gets those shirts made at Al's.

Sweet shirt nonetheless.

This Haversack take on the classic work shirt caught my eye. The club collar is an odd but interesting touch....not sure if I like it or not.

Holy cow.

jesus - from 1$ 60 years ago to 1,136.11$ now!

[Turntabloid]

update of my wabash after a 30 degree soak:

-1" in length

-0.5" in sleeve

-1" in the width

fit is better now, but still quite "roomy" in the shoulders and arms. again, i suspect this to be part of the cut.

[Turntabloid]

bought the shirt from lewis at superdenim.co.uk - great service!

[Whodinihimself]

LVC makes a nice wool work shirt if you're looking to try other materials:

[hollowsleather]

This thread continues to deliver.

Turntabloid, for what it's worth I think that's a perfect fit for this type of shirt.

[Slub]

^ Agree, that wash shrank it up just right, nice shirt Turn.

[Bluedog]

Anyone know where I can get a chambray in grey? I've been looking everywhere but the only one I can find is the EG one, which is out of my price range.

[Turntabloid]

thx guys, i will definitely keep it!
