Very true. I got a sun faded red chambray for $40 that's no where near the quality of the regular retail style it's based on. I love the shirt, but it's missing all the bells and whistles of the $98 one.mattfink said:FYI - J.

By the way, do you know if there's any way to navigate through the Worker's site to that page in English? From the front page, I can only find the Japanese version! Am I missing something?
mattfink said:Try installing "Google Chrome" as your browser. It will automatically prompt you to translate the page from Japanese to Engrish.
volatile said:Well, there's definitely an English langauge version of the page - the link you gave originally is to an English-language page hosted on e-workers and not one that's been run through Google Translate and translated on the fly... but I can't seem to navigate to that page directly. Which is weird.
mattfink said:They don't publish the page in English normally, I think they just create those pages for overseas customers to order from.
volatile said:Ah, that makes sense.
Have you ordered from them before? His stuff is lovely.
mattfink said:I have two Big Yank style shirts, a pair of salt n' pepper pants and a pair of the denim buckleback carpenter jeans. All are spectacular but run about a size smaller than the stated size. For example the moleskin s & p pants were tagged 38, but measured much closer to a 36. Fine with me because that's my real size, but would be bad if you didn't know any better. The pants tend to run a little short in the rise as well.
volatile said:Oooh, those salt-n-pepper pants look amazing. I'm on the lookout for something similar... I got a pair of brown workpants from Lofgren / Cushman recently and have a craving for a pair of pants in the same style in salt-n-pepper. Any ideas?
mattfink said:I have two pair of the S&P and one pair of the brown from Cushman....all killer!!! John at Speedway tells me they are coming out with some new stuff. They have several pairs on their website that are not on eBay. You can contact him through eBay about any of the items on the website:

volatile said:Oh, they're lovely! I don't think my budget can spread to 3 new pairs though! Hah! I should give my bank manager your phone-number!
The pair you have are exactly the same as the brown ones, but in black, aren't they?
