Reproduction classic workwear

[Flat Foot Floey]

Well done, Bela! If I had the cash I would love to buy it. Say, is it an actual reproduction and if so where did you get the original? Or did you work from a picture?

From Toronto's Klaxon Howl

This is my favorite Klaxon Howl shirts I own. The pockets are made out of a slightly different vintage chambray fabric. Its less pronounced in real life though.

This really knocks me out! From whence did it come Dinerman?

 

[Dinerman]

From "Cotler", which it looks like went out of business about a decade ago.

Those look great. I usually just sew buttons on my pants that way I can still wear a belt with them but these look so easy to put on.

Cotler made tons of "80's does the 50's" type stuff: pleated atomic flecked slacks, baggy suits, etc.
I've never seen anything like that one above though Dinerman! That scalloped back is amazing.

 

[Benny Holiday]

Absolutely! Some great details on that jacket!

I know beats having to sew them on and no worry's of the threads coming apart

That's what I bought and from the same place. Great simple and effective.:eusa_clap

What size and price? I think linen would be even better. I first thought the jacket in the pic was twill but if it is denim I wouldn't wear it.

I ordered one of these denim reproduction work shirts from a seller on ebay. Im a little ****ed off though as he listed the measurements as being a 41" chest and 17" shoulders and the actual chest is 46" and the shoulders are 19". I will be filing a paypal claim on that one.

What a pity as it really looks great! I hope that I have more luck with my last order... [huh]

It really is. Its actually really great quality. Much better than I expected. Im sure I could soak it in boiling water to shrink it down a little bit but even then Ill probably never be able to get it down to the 41" it listed it as so I would have to then pay extra to have it taken in on top of that. Its annoying that Im going to have to most likely pay to mail it back to this seller in China and be out whatever that ends up costing me and Ill end up with nothing in the end.

I saw it last time for 35 because it was a full suit . the slacks where not that great but the jacket interested me for the scalloped back and same on some pockets.

I didn't pick it up because the items get price reductions very regularly and It isn't original and normally find original for far less at this store
