pdxvintagette said:Actually, I think it is brilliant. It is GREAT to know that you're not buying one of some ridiculous number of mass produced items. I would rather see limited AVAILABILITY than a limited TIME to order, but in the end, you still end up with a product that not every other collector/wearer has. There needs to be a company doing EXACTLY that with good 40's/50s rock and roll menswear etc. Speciality items made for a limited time.

Sears did not make "limited edition", high end, expensive workwear for the rock and roll crowd. The idea of individuality (especially within an obvious group of like minded people) is moot.
Companies made mass produced, well made, tough as nails clothes for everyone to work in.
At 200 bucks a shirt most guys are not going to change their car oil or get dirty in these shirts.
Or am I missing something?...[huh]

Feraud said:Good point!
I agree that a good number of people who buy high end leather jackets, fedoras, boots, etc. do not use them as intended. My reply is aimed at the limited availability of products. The custom jacket, fedora, and boot makers tend to keep their products in production. If not in constant production they offer a custom made order. That is the key here. I want that availability.
All that talk about individuality, etc. is moot when in the presence of like minded collectors. lol
