Reproduction classic workwear

[AlSailor]

Maybe these River Junction pants could still work as light summer pants (if buttons are replaced for riveted buttons?

 

[Lefty]

Nah, they're junk and I already got my refund - shipping to me - 20% "discretionary" re-stocking fee - shipping back to them ($30 to try on pants). I sent RJ a link to one of these reviews, as I've posted the same thing on styleforum and superfuture. If I'm going to spend time modifying something, I'll start with a better base.

Man, the mall stores have really upped their game this holiday season. The Gap and Levis have some pretty great stuff, and Lucky Brand has a few killer pieces. Check out their Johnson Motors Double V sweatshirt:

I'll give those a lookie next time I'm in. Never been a denim chap until someone pointed out I look good in it - go figure, but my curiosity is getting the better of me know with work-wear.

A friend of mine over at Golden West Clothing just branched out into custom-made workwear reproductions. I've seen her work first hand- really top notch stuff.

Somewhere in the 129 pages of this thread, someone posted a link to someone selling indigo dot stifel-esque reproduction fabric. I've gone through and can't seem to locate it- does anyone remember the link?

That's the one! Thanks!

She's really doing some nice work. All handmade and hand dyed. And unlike japanese repros, since it's custom, tall guys like me can get sleeves that would actually fit.

Is your friend planning something in the dot pattern material?

I don't know yet, but I've made the suggestion.

50% off clearance in store at Levi's this weekend! They have some great stuff, all just recently marked down.

You folks on that side of the pond may have some great stuff in yer regular Levi's stores but the European range is really pretty awful - the workshirts look like a five-year-old's version. And that's being unkind to young un's... why they and Gap simply don't have the same global ranges is beyond me...

BTW, a pair of LVC jeans is now over £200 in the UK, I dunno how they justify a year-on-year range price hike of around 60% RRP...

 

[mattfink]

I think you can buy them on Cultizm.com for much cheaper than 200 pounds!

one of these black chambray shirts arrived from e-workers for me today...
lovely fabric. i think i'll be wearing this shirt a lot.

 

[mattfink]

Nice one herringbonekid...have the same shirt. What size did you order?

 

[herringbonekid]

Matt, I got a 15.5... pretty much perfect fit all round. the collar isn't too tight when buttoned right up.

You can either go to Cultizm or go to Cinch in Newburgh street and lowball them. My friend got a pair of 1947s for £180, and I bet they will do less. Either way, its a sh&%tload of money to spend on jeans, and this is coming from someone who collects 1950s clothing.

Find a real pair of 30's, 40's or 50's 501s and then compare the price to a repro?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Is that a range of Stifel indigos?
