Another cigarette pocket patent:

I hate smoking and cigarettes, but the designs of those two patents are awesome. I love how thought out they are, just a pocket, but a pocket with a purpose!

Since the RT overdyed workshirt is sold out already.. Suggestions for a subtle overdyed workshirt, preferably in 8-10+ oz? I would like something without contrasting thread/buttons. Much like the RT one.

Thoughts on the Norse Projects one?

[clayton]

Norse Projects = decent stuff, although I'd get the raw version.

The RGT is 13.5oz.

I'm not a massive fan of N&F and it's not RGT quality, but the blanket lined over dyed Indigo Work Shirt is decent. More winter oriented because of the blanket lining. It's 12oz.

Thanks for the feedback! I'd get the raw version if I could find it in XL, so far I've only found it in L, curse of being larger than average I guess. The blanket lining is the reason I'm holding off on the N&F, that and some issues I have had with stitching/quality on other N&F-items, but I guess it can be a backup!

Thanks again

Just received my Cassady shirt, beautiful craftsmanship:

[dcp1610]

Very nice. What size and how much shrinkage after wash?

[Aries]

Thanks.

Size 16, for a 42 chest, haven't washed yet but I'm told 2cm/1inch across chest, I'll update if people want to know.

That being said I cold wash all my shirts so I'm not expecting the max hot wash shrinkage.

edit: I'd actually emailed the ever-speedy John from Speedway about this issue before you asked, and he's just replied. He says with a cold wash shrinkage shouldn't even be noticeable.

Hope that helps.

I'm loving that Tartan Big Yank shirt. It's beautiful.

I also like the denim Phigvel deck shirt on Hickorees

[SLAB]

phigvel makes some nice stuff; I often find myself lusting for their leather jackets too

[durdentk]

That stripy one is lovely kasper.

Nice looking Levi's Made & Crafted wabash workshirt on sale for €80.

I'd consider it if I didn't already have the Flat Head version.

Denim utility shirt from Mister Freedom (apologies for crap iPhone pic):

I think it's just there to provoke questions.

[nakala]

I think it's just there to provoke questions.

oh really ? i don't think so.

i am sure there's something why they use it

[Snake]

I remember I’ve read it somewhere in Sugar Cane’s catalog from last year or the year before that the purpose chinstraps is wind proofing when button up. Doesn’t make any sense to me but that was printed in SC's catalog.

[rnrswitch]

I thought it was for expansion. If you have a fat neck you just button the second chinstrap buttonhole to the top button. Mf pictures show this.

Hi,

I'm on the lookout for a chambray workshirt and have got my eye on either one from Workers or The Real McCoys. Can anyone comment on either (or both) of these? How do they fit?

Cheers

[onehundy]

Workers aren't as well make as RMC but i admire his one man vision.

[tigerpac]

Posted elsewhere on the forum but thought this would be a good place as well.

Roy's Chambray and Iron Heart's IHSH-65

Hard to pick a favorite between the two!

[#GRAY]

Man, I am in need of a thick heavy workshirt this thread just made it that much more of a need. Great fit picture in here.

[ndalgas]

I'd take buttons over snaps any day of the week.

[SLAB]

I'd say they both have their charms; I like to switch between the two

[AnthonyCares]

One of my favorite things ive seen on this forum

Picked this up last week, most likely late 40's early 50's.

Obvioulsy needs some work done on it, but after that I'll proudly wear it. I will be back with more pics once I find some time to patch it up.

For now:

"J" obviously wore the shit out of it

Most likely suspender buckle wear

It has clearly been worn tucked into highback bib overalls, as there is an obvious colour difference and faded "X".

Picked up The Strike Gold's work shirt from Selfedge whilst in LA. Fantastic quality and cut, as is becoming expected of TSG.
