Reproduction classic workwear

Bela,the bias taped edges is part of the design of the Brown's beach vest and jacket.

Yeah, at this point I'm sure it's cosmetic. The Woolrich one comes close:

RRL Elkhorn jacket

This one's a killer diller! But at$1600, way way beyond my budget!

Dig the back on that jacket and those cool cargo pockets . . . it's enough to make a grown
FLer cry!

That one looks great. I may have to check out my local Levis store to see if they have something similar.

I ordered one of these pleated hickory stripe denim work jackets from Ralph Lauren's Denim and Supply line. It was on sale for $65. It looks way better in person. Whats with the terrible product photography with these companies?

Excuse the ****py cell phone pic, but heres's a polka dot work shirt from H&M. Nice pockets and cat eye buttons. Looks better in person obviously.

What type of material is that one made out of? Also what was the price?

Humble recommendation

I have this vest. It's an excellent piece of gear. I'll gladly add a second recommendation!

Just saw this new shirt on the Lands End catalog yesterday.

I bought some workwear repros in the last few months. I was just too lazy to take pictures. they are not vintage and I bought em cheap. But since I made some other pictures today...


h&m workshirt, linen, bought on sale, nice pockets ( I bet the designer saw them in a workwear blog)

GAP chambray shirt bought on german ebay. quite cool because we don't have GAP here. Much better quality than the h&m stuff, chinstrap and heavier fabric

real cheap h&m chambray shirt. this is my beater

polo ralph lauren pull over workshirt, corduroy (yes, I wanted to try it), quite long and well made, too warm at the moment but good for cooler days

Oh and I bought my first hickory stripe item (in a normal second hand store). no labels, might be actual workwear and no fashion stuff
I didn't wear it yet. It doesn't seem to fit to my other stuff.

FFF that top H&M one is cool! It's not on sale yet here in the US though so I'm waiting to pull the trigger.

 

[potemkin_city_limits]

I just went to H&M to check out that polka dot chambray. It looks great in person. They also had a cream and a blue work shirt with vented underarms for the same price. I got all 3 of them. Ill post a photo later.

Awesome!!! There was also a workshirt with a vintagey print on it that I liked. It looks like the workwear trend continues this Fall!

I typically avoid H&M but every so often they make a nice piece. This polka dot shirt is pretty nice. The other two are a little cheap looking but for $30 they are great for beating around in.

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

I should try to avoid em too. It is impossible to expect fair working conditions at the price they are selling
I mean 10 € for a shirt? I couldn't even get fabric for that price. But it's very tempting

Here are some photos of that RL Denim and Supply hickory stripe jacket I mentioned a few posts back.

Also, here are some photos of my Klaxon Howl pleated denim jacket Ive had for about 6 months now.

While I am posting this I will share some photos of an old military vest I picked up at a vintage store today.

Indeed cool!
