Lofgren

[Canadave]

Are items from Lofgren (Japan) only available on that popular auction/shopping site? I can't find a web site for them.

How many of you have that chambray Railroad shirt, and what can you tell me about it?

Thanks!

Yeah, I tried to Google around for their caps & all that really popped up were the auction site sales. Anyone else have better luck?

Cheers!

I believe their actual website is only in Japanese. Contacting Mr. Lofgren directly through Ebay is probably your best bet.

Ok, you can get most of it on eBay here:

Or on the Rakuten site here:

I would recommend using the free Google Chrome browser as it will automatically prompt you to translate to English.


John is an easy guy to contact and will definitely help you out in any way he can.

Speaking of which, these suckers came and went so fast I never got chance to order a pair (hopefully they will make another run soon):

I have two of them , a striped and a blue salt and pepper. Fantastic Quality and a slim vintage fit.

Oh yeah, I have two of the railroad chambray shirts and they are fantastic...brown and blue/gray. Super quality and nicely fitting.

I'm looking for a cap like that all my life.. but they don't come in XL.. any chance it'll be made in an XL?

 

[mattfink]

The Lofgren large will fit an XL...I wear a 7 1/2 - 7 5/8 and it fits like a dream. The average size head these days appears to be about a 7 1/2 (XL in US sizes).

That's good to know.. I was asking this cause in the description shopatspeedway it's clearly stated: Size: Large (58-59 cm) (7-1/4" to 7-3/8") and if this is the case, i'm not going to bother.. The other items like the Lofgren salt'n'pepper chambrayshirt also come small even when XL: I need me at least 27 inches from shoulder to cuff for sleevelength and a shoulderwidth of 19 inch seam to seam is just not gonna cut it.. (I'm a tall guy)..

 

[mattfink]

Odd as their website on Rakuten says it's 60cm:

You should shoot John and email...or maybe he'll respond on here?

BTW, I don't have this exact hat, but two other Lofgren models.

I just pulled the trigger on one of the Lofgren Tan/Brown Houndstooth caps. This will be my 4th Lofgren cap, I love 'em. I am wondering though, what would one wear with brown houndstooth? I've never owned any clothes with that pattern. Will it be difficult to coordinate?

 

[kools]

I'm in the market for a new cap. I've been a big fan of B! Wear caps...can anyone compare the two? Do the Lofgren cap have the same "flop" as the B! Wear?

I would wear it with just about any other color, just make sure you don't have too many different things going on at once. For example, I wouldn't wear it with a tweed jacket or too many different color combos.

I purchased and returned a B!Wear cap and currently own 3 Lofgren caps (with a fourth on the way). Apples and Oranges in my book. The Lofgren caps seem to be made to last and while they may not look completely vintage, are more like real vintage caps in the details. The fit is adjustable (not so with B!Wear) and the leather sweatband is actually a real reeded sweatband like you would find in a quality fedora. The B!Wear I recieved just had a chunk of suede-like leather sewn in the front of the cap. I know I'm in the minority around here because everyone rants and raves about the B!Wear caps but they just didn't do it for me. YMMV.
