vest looks a bit small

i agree. I would've gone a size up.

[erockisalive]

i agree. I would've gone a size up.

Oh, interesting.

Personally, I like the fit. It may be the picture/length of the shirt.

When all 3 buttons are buttoned and my shirt is tucked it doesn't pull or squeeze.

Thanks for the input

[flatpattern]

looks good to me and is how I wear my vest. rides right over your waist band and allows you to get into your front pockets, if you were to go up a size your front pockets would be covered. it doesn't pull at all, looks good.

I think the fit on the vest looks good, but it woul dbe good to see it with a tucked button down from a better angle.

coal miner pants - wonder what cloth they are using - denim, duck, anyone know?

Looks like charcoal duck. I like them a lot, although I'm trying to go a little less workwear these days...

[lance]

thanks zissou, they do look like duck. think I'll wait for the indigo dyed duck pants

My indigo outdoor vest

[flatpattern]

looking good, these vest are really fantastic especially when traveling. the endless pockets i find very useful. that two tone jacket/shirt underneath is rockn!

[djarrow]

Hsin... you still work at A-B Fits?

You've helped me before when I purchased the RS Duck Worker Pants.

ranch jacket, first shorter version(which suits me) getting some great sun fades on the shoulders and top of sleeves not sure if it shows

neustadters front, these get dirty quick, think these have 2 washes

neustadters back

AB's, these are one tough denim, they are worn same amount of time as rest but are hardly showing any wear, never washed or wet

been rotating blacksmith,neustadters,AB's since late Jan.

[rnrswitch]

The ranch jacket actually fades pretty well for duck. I have some honeycombs working on the inner elbow and some nice indigo staining. Also, I can attest to the AB Elfelts taking forever to fade.

I have really had an itch to get the blacksmith's lately, but I think I will hold out until the ROYxCONE contest is done.

[flatpattern]

I had been looking at the pics of your AB's and was surprised how much wear you had, I do yardwork in them and still nothing. Mostly showing a beautiful blue around the button fly.

I will be adding hopefully a pair of Roys to my mix when they come out. Would like to have a pair of jeans by a local Bay Area resident. keeping it local!

another vest fit pic. this one in huang shan, china, where they filmed some of the background for avatar. with my wife and daughter. the big front pockets were perfect for storing three thick passports (which we needed to show to get into the cable car!)

this intern from rising sun copypasted my post on the rising sun blog without asking for my permission.

so rude. (ranty complaint letter sent.)

[oomslokop]

just got a letter of apology from crosby of rising sun. so everything's cool.

[Rivet Head]

Pretty standard blogging oomslokop...at least he credited and quoted you!

[flatpattern]

I would have been flattered.....you can use my pics whenever you want RS and if you need someone to test out that new striped pullover you have coming out let me know!

you should thanks and give them credit for showing you on their blog not complaining jeez.....

[oomslokop]

the rising sun blog is part of an enterprise not a personal blog. the photo and the quote have been used to advertise the vest (and though it is credited to a "satisfied customer", which i am, that is not really my name ). since theyre not giving me any kind of compensation (an engineer jacket wouldve been nice ), a simple request for permission is only common courtesy (if not, it should be!).

crosby certainly thought so and in his letter apologized for the oversight.

i rest my case.

[Tiro]

where to cop racer shirt

[edmond]

oomslokop--- IMO who are you ? are you someone impt? or too arrogant and thinks highly of himself that a company should ask permission from you? i think there are things that you let go of and being an ass and playing important

[flatpattern]

want to talk about RS's denim....it about the jawns...

[chambo2008]

^^^^^ agree with this quote......

[oomslokop]

yes i am someone very important, the president of the republic of snark. no for you earnest @flatpattern.

[flatpattern]

exactly, thanks for confirming everything I said

[edmond]

and one more thing that vest doesnt suit you really. seriously

[SLAB]

guys, can we get back to the topic pls. I'm sure he gets the point now.

[lance]

^^ Agree, fight your battles via email!

[flatpattern]

Engineer jacket, the denim on this jacket is like nothing I own, beautiful

sleeve detail, these buttons are a fantastic weight and is the first time ive seen RS use them, they say Rising Sun/Pasadena(I need to buy a camera)

bandanna

[SLAB]
