LeeB said:All I can say regarding the $100 work shirt is that, if it's that much, it's not for 'work' whatever the name.
Mossyrock said:I mean it is EXPENSIVE. Nearly $100 for a chambray work shirt?!? Ummm, no.
BTW, where did you see the Levi's version? I can't find it.

Feraud said:The Target and Dickies shirts lack that quintessintail work shirt feature of the chin strap.
Feraud said:Very true. A dropped yoke being another detail offered on some of the vintage styled workshirts.
Also, all the current retails do a bad job on their collars. They are much too small..
I could blame the retailers for charging the same prices for garments in a recession but who would listen? lolmike said:But if you don't buy them - who is to blame for our economy not recovering...?
GranadaGuy617 said:The idea of a workshirt is that its supposed to be cheap and affordable for the worker..they are meant to get sweaty, dirty and in my case covered in either gun or motor oil etc.
J. Crews shirts are nice...but I would be afraid to even go out for some light gardening with it. I got the target ones, and the dickies ones and I am going to see about the Levis at an outlet...I can get 4 shirts for what one of those J-Crew shirts cost.
As for the Japanese repops..great stuff no denying that. But again..to expensive for what they are intended for...would I buy them if I had the dough yes...but are they economical? Not so much...
Matt Fink are you a reenactor by chance? You sound like one.
Repro. Not mine.GranadaGuy617 said:Original? If not where'd you get it?
mike said:The one thing that appears missing from all the japanese repro work wear stuff is the mixing of suit separates and hats with their work wear...
