Both Levi's and J. Crew are offering a 1930's style chin strap work shirt right now. No pics of the Levi's. Here's the J. Crew:

Thanks for the tip mattfink.
The Levi's version is as nice as the JCrew but a third of the price.

I have both and I would have to say the JCrew one is a lot more like an original 30's chinstrap than the Levi's shirt. I did pick up one of the Levi's ones for $19.99 at the Levi's store in the mall near me.

I have both as well. The Levi's are pretty great for $19.99.
My favorite repro is this one profiled here:

No chinstrap, and the yoke detail in the back (not shown) is killer.

The material, cut of the shirt, stitching, etc.. I had a Japanese dealer offer to buy the J. Crew shirt off my back. Nothing wrong with the Levi's one though.

From the Post O'alls site:

It looks similar to a leather jacket that I posted about in the Outerwear forum:

I had a feeling that jacket was based on a vintage workwear style!

Borrowed from another thread...

Some vintage clothing is so rare and (sometimes inexplicably) desirable that it scoffs at economic meltdowns.


Here's a very recent example:

Post 'em if you see 'em!

I'll bet you a million bucks (or $2,827) that this will be replicated and sold by a company like this:

What does eworkers charge for the shirt?

Something like $170 after shipping. What's cool about them is they only have a window of a few weeks for people to order their products and then those are the only items produced from the prototype. They only offer one or two products a month. And rarely remake the same things twice. I dig the oddity of it all a lot! :D
