Leonardo Dicaprio's outfit at the end of Shutter Island is fantastic, salt and pepper workshirt tucked into denim with a faded chorecoat over it. Wish I could find a screen grab.

How was the movie, aside from Leo's outfit?

[Dead_Wizard]

It was excellent, although the ending is going to be very divisive. Very nuanced homage to pulp/noir.

just came back from the movies - the book of eli

that us military parka shell denzel is wearing is so tempting ...

the real mccoys repro costs a fortune though. got to check rakuten.

[Rivet Head]

Those parkas can be super oversized if you get a real one...meant to go over a pack.

[fardin]

the bogey pic is awesome. he was a real sailing freak.

first whimsical graphic tee ever? or can someone explain for ign'ant me?

[jstavrin]

Who makes a good oxford? I'm looking for one in white that is a fuller cut. I have from from Sugar Cane but it's a bit too slim for me to roll up the sleeves and tuck in.

did you check gitman yet?

Shutter Island = Meh

Book of Eli = SUPER MEH

No, but thank you for the recommendation. I see they have one on Context so I'll have to compare measurements, and maybe size up.

Thought you fellas might get a kick out of this.

It's a 1941 article from Popular Science about army gear, with pics.

Opened the new NY Times Fashion magazine this morning and was please to see this Ralph Lauren ad. Wonder how many women will be sporting vintage looking overalls on the streets of Manhattan this spring.

[Bigyen]

^^ this guy!

Point me in the direction of the proper venue to help you understand why both of those movie were completely phoned in, so as not to mess this thread.

Nahh, just some custom thing Bogey had done up.

Just ordered the Buzz Rickson's repro of this khaki/olive drab USN N-1 Paul Newman is wearing. Should get it a week from today. Very stoked.

Saw Shutter Island over the weekend. I wouldn't say it's Scorcesse's strongest effort. The workwear in it definitely looks like it was made for the movie and not vintage.

Does anyone know of a place that sells vintage-inspired canvas ball caps? I want something simple that is devoid of any branding or logos.

[DocBlue]

i guess you may already have a real french sailor cap : (sorry it isn't red:) )

Eastman Leather makes this, the B-1:

They also make this, the A-3 mechanic's hat:

I was going to direct you to ballcap.com - but they are now out of business. They made original style repro hats; wool flannel, leather sweatbands. I hat them me a 1930 White Sox hat.

[zissou]

DocBlue- thanks, but I need something with a brim. The sun is way too intense here.

Jake- That A-3 woudld be perfect if I could find it in natural canvas...

[jake431]

Best I could find is a light khaki fatigue hat, probably not the style you're looking for:

[Rivet Head]

Hey! Where are they selling that light khaki fatigue hat? Looks great!

Scroll down to "Cap, Herringbone Twill".

[zissou]

Yeah, not really what I am looking for. Thanks, though! I just want a plain ball cap. Doesn't need to be repro or anything...

you can email ballcaps and they might still make you one.
