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?

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.

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

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.

I ordered one of these denim reproduction work shirts from a seller on ebay. Im a little pissed 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.

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 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
