    Can you please post actual measurements of the shirt?

    Ton’s “oh shit I bought too much” sale

    I'll second that - the JL is just an inch or so too narrow in the chest for me, and it was really tempting. Good buys on both.

    Best Sherpa lined denim / canvas jackets?

    They will allow you to return it for exchange or store credit on your own dime. I'm not sure of the legalities, but it's unusual for the USA as well. That being said, I get the impression that they are a relatively small company, and the product IS priced significantly cheaper than most other...

    Best Sherpa lined denim / canvas jackets?

    The only thing that I didn't care for about buying from Bravestar is the "no returns" policy (exchanges only, you pay shipping). I'm sure this helps keep the prices low, but limited availability mixed with sizing issues can lead to disappointing results. For example, I would have happily paid...

    Best Sherpa lined denim / canvas jackets?

    I finally got my Bravestar Sherpa lined jacket - sort of.... Admittedly, it's my fault. I ordered the blue selvedge / white sherpa version, but I called Bravestar the day after I ordered and asked them to switch my order to black. They agreed, but apparently that didn't actually reserve me a...

    Wesco Mister Lou engineer boots: fit/sizing?

    It sounds like the OP got his answer, but these are built on the 1339 last. I wear my standard size - I'm a 13D and in the Mr. Lou, the 13E feels like a custom fit for me. I like it so much that I have a pair of 7500s in British Tan and both colors of the Mr. Lou (Brown and Black...

    Best Sherpa lined denim / canvas jackets?

    Seb, I've clearly opened a can of worms here. I agree, getting into the details of a niche interest plays a big part, especially when you can follow and interact with companies through social media. I love how some of my favorite brands will take you behind the scenes through posts and...

    Best Sherpa lined denim / canvas jackets?

    Marc, I agree, I didn't mention social issues, but there are lots of those that can play into our purchase decisions. Companies also feel the need to be political these days, and I think they lose as many customers as they gain regardless of their specific stance.

    Best Sherpa lined denim / canvas jackets?

    One more note - probably nothing that you don't already know, just my perspective. I work in the pocket knife industry, and our company has two brands - one that's more economical, and one that's high end. The less expensive brand has knives that are made in the USA and China, while the...

    Best Sherpa lined denim / canvas jackets?

    After seeing Ton's pictures, I ordered the black Bravestar in a size Large. I'd say I'm trying it out, but since they don't do returns (only exchanges), I'm keeping SOMETHING from them regardless. Fingers crossed that the denim and sherpa are a significant improvement. I have previously tried...

    Best Sherpa lined denim / canvas jackets?

    OK, I didn't think it would happen to me, but I've finally been spoiled by real denim. The TL;DR is that I think it's worth paying $150 or so for something with heavy / selvedge / dry / thicker denim. I just stopped by our local Boot Barn (boot and western store) and it just so happened that...

    Best Sherpa lined denim / canvas jackets?

    I was looking on their website, and I don't see anything that appears to be USA made - is there a separate site? I do really like broken twill. I've only tried their jackets out but once, and that one (unlined) ran really small.

    Best Sherpa lined denim / canvas jackets?

    Man, you've got me looking at a medium myself - the numbers look right, but if you say it runs a bit small, I'll probably stick with a large. How's the arm circumference? Close fitting in the forearms? I emailed them to see if they can make one more Large in the blue denim/white sherpa, but...

    Best Sherpa lined denim / canvas jackets?

    Wow, that looks great! What size did you order? Do you mind measuring the sleeve length in a straight line? I'm curious if they came longer than advertised. I'm happy to know that the cut is good, these type of jackets can be really oversized. In this case, I would be paying for good cut...

    Best Sherpa lined denim / canvas jackets?

    My only issue with vintage is fit - if I was born with shorter arms, a lot more things would fit me. I'll admit, I haven't really spent a lot of time looking at vintage - I'll have to dive deeper. I'm willing to pay more for US manufacturing or really thick denim. Otherwise I agree, you...

    Best Sherpa lined denim / canvas jackets?

    I would actually love a blanket lined Storm Rider - been trying to find a vintage one my size for years. I might have to try a new production one to get the sleeves long enough. Lee 101 makes a 13oz selvedge one right now, but I need measurements. I also just discovered the Iron Heart...

    Best Sherpa lined denim / canvas jackets?

    Wow, that looks beautiful, but a bit out of my price range. I am looking at $350 and under, maybe more for the right thing.

    Best Sherpa lined denim / canvas jackets?

    Old ones or new ones? I had a Levi's one growing up, but I tried on a new canvas/ sherpa one the other day and was unimpressed with the fit. Maybe it's because Levi's understands that the jacket needs to be cut larger to account for the Sherpa, but a size Large was big on me but too short in...

    Best Sherpa lined denim / canvas jackets?

    Hey all, I'm looking for a high quality Sherpa lined denim or canvas jacket for cooler temps. I'd prefer a Type 3 style, but I'm open to other ideas. I'm trying to find something with better fit and quality than Levis. Any ideas?
