I had one in my hands again today. I didn't have a chance to try one on but the sizing seems weird. I'm just a standard modern Large, but their L seemed waaay too short and the XL was huge. I have a 40% off coupon that I'm gonna use on this so I hope one fits properly.

You can buy most of their shirts on line in a tall size.

Hi gents,
I have this aero leather long halfbelt and one 1930's halfbelt on order...
Considering these kind of jackets were in the 30's - 40's workwear, what kind of vintage-look trousers do you suggest go well with these?

Wider legged dark indigo jeans with a cuff?

Thanks, I was toying with something like that.
Any suggestions for a brand?

I got a pair of Lee 101b. They have wide legs and a cinchback. I don't know about the different versions out there. Maybe some are darker than other. Mine had suspender buttons, too.

So they where my cheaper alternative to the 1933 repro levis which i loved, but couldn't afford.

I caught part of The Courtship of Andy Hardy last night on TCM. Mickey Rooney is working on a Model A at one point, and is wearing a Jughead-style felt beanie and light-colored overalls with the garage name and address embroidered on the back. At least, I think that’s what’s embroidered on the back, I didn’t really catch a clear glimpse. Anyone got a shot of that lettering? I just bought a set of white coveralls not too long ago, and have been wondering how to spice them up a bit.

I really want a cap like this but am trying not to spend Japanese repro money:

The repro cap above is $69, so I'd like to spend way less.
Anyone have any leads?
