Workshirts

[Strangebrew]

I got a Jcrew chambray shirt on ebay for pretty cheap, but I noticed it didn't have the " selvedge side gusset" thingy pictured on the Jcrew website.

Did I get some cheaper version of the shirt?

strangebrew i think this was discussed on styleforum. the version you got is cheaper and was sold at outlet stores for less.

e: i dont know if its "cheaper" but it certainly has less details...

Laaaaame, the auction said it was the same shirt from the website. Oh well.

don't forget modern work shirts...

JC Penny's has them too... at a fraction of the cost...

Turntabloid, I think you need to sign my petition that they do another run of the 14oz. denim shirt, including a size XL.

This one:

I've been looking for that kind of shirt forever... Only other thing close is the Lee Riders shirt that they apparently no longer make. Seriously though, it may not hurt for you to send Iron Heart an e-mail too if you'd buy one... I'm sure that'd get you your fix!

haha, that is funny!

i am currently discussing this with giles (ironheart.co.uk).

he wants to do a re-run of either the 02, 09 or 13 (09 without yoke) in all of these 12oz denim selvage colors:

black - indigo - red (wild)

maybe you guys could give some input!

sizes would come from S to XXL (!)

[fre-co]

I'd probably go for one of those Mr Tabloid. Keep us updated with that.

Was anybody else watching this? Too expensive to justify these days. Damn thing would've fit me too!

my new workshirt:

[Rivet Head]

Killer, but you can't touch 30's workwear these days. That seller had a pair of cinch back denim pants that went for some big cash too.

Saw that for sure, too rich for my blood these days.

Here's my collection. The stencils were made for me by a quite generous man:

Mister Freedom CPO

Sugar Cane:

Vintage DS thrift store find (the Ticonderoga was the ship my dad was on just before I was born):

Samurai herringbone twill:

so fucking awesome... cant rep yet.

[YoungPunch]

Hey B-Dawg, great collection! I especially like the mister Freedom and samurai shirts. Cool idea with the stencils too.

anyone have experience with those "koto" chambrays from urban outfitters? i know they're not as nice as japanese repros, uo has douchey management, etc., but I can't afford much more.

[zissou]

wmmk, I think for the price, especially on sale, they are ok. But, don't expect the quality of the fabric or construction to be anywhere near most of the ones you see on this thread. I'd recommend saving up for one very good one that you can wear forever.

[fre-co]

The buzz rickson chambray is only about 8000 yen from Japan, that ain't expensive and you can order direct from vari and pay by paypal.

I'd rather have one nice shirt then 10 cheap shirts. Save your money, don't patronize UO.

This man speaks all kinds of truth...two nice workshirts in rotation (assuming you wear a tshirt underneath and launder as needed) can last a year easy...and tend to get better the more they are worn...if you are looking for a bargain, you can't beat the Buzz Rickson.

[tmadd]

I would love to enlist the help of anyone who owns the white chambray and either of the blue chambrays in the same size...has the shrinking been consistent (or at least close) between the two, or is there a marked difference because of the different material used. I am basically between sizes on the light blue shirt, and am trying to figure out what I should order for the white one. Thanks in advance.

[daveo]

[concealed]

The Urban Outfitters one isn't that bad. I say this with full knowledge that I will receive negative reputation points. I don't particularly like the store or any of its patrons, but for the price, the shirt is not bad.
