It's always hard to figure out with them, but this appears to be LVC's current season. I'm diggin' the belt.

I picked up the the Target shawl collar today. Definitely worth $20. Strange that it's on sale considering that it's brand new. Grab it before it's over!

For 20 bucks it's a no brainer.

Here is an another item Target will offer in September.

It's always hard to figure out with them, but this appears to be LVC's current season. I'm diggin' the belt.

It's quite nice but very expensive! You could likely get a nicer custom belt made yourself for the same price... the LVC stuff just got ridiculously expensive, as far as I'm concerned - I mean, it's not as if a lot of it is even brilliant quality anymore... I've got a fair amount of earlier LVC gear - from sweats and jeans to shirts and jackets - but the price has doubled on most items since the relaunch and, if you're gonna pay that kind of moolah (and who can afford it?!?!?), you're better off with one of the tonier US or Japanese brands like eworkers or Rising Sun... just sayin'!

That Penfield jacket I ordered turned up and is very nice fit & quality - the branded buttons and the small leather emblem on the sleeve have got to go, though. Hoping to win some deadstock nickel chore buttons on Ebay tonite, to bring out the 'railroad jacket' style of the design and denim weave... pretty great for £40 in the sale and the waxed finish will be a real boon here in Bath - we're in a valley so if a cloud passes over, well, you can guess! Here's the colour I got, a nice semi-hickory stripe:

Hmm. I'm thinking of selling some very good quality vintage '20s and '30s caps on eBay soon. Will let you know.

Let know if you have any 7 3/8's caps

I also picked up the Conv1 Men's LS Landon Shrt - Chambray
Will post a picture as soon as I can.

Here is the Target shirt wore it with my Hat People cap out to Old Chicago Pizza last night.

 

[Viper Man]

Did you break any legs? Heh, just kidding. That's a cool look, man. I dig it.

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

My normal pissed off look. the shirt is very soft and fits well. It was way off to one side of the men's department on the wall at the bottom.
There was only 5 shirts and one was luckly in my size.

H&M in europe has new chambray shirts even with nice details like the pencil thingy on the breast pocket. The shirt comes in grey, blue and red.

I heard the produce under bad conditions in countries like bangladesh though. Don't know about this shirt...maybe I should spend some more and buy somewhere else.

High waisted 1920's cut canvas jeans with fish tail back. Accessorised with leather braces/suspenders. Took time out to photograph this, but my Havanna and Espresso can't be kept waiting Gents, as it's a lovely evening out here

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

Great coffee or tea pot you have too.

High waisted 1920's cut canvas jeans with fish tail back.

They're great! Where'd you get 'em? Are they from Old Town? I've really been digging wearing button-on suspenders/braces for the past week or so... I put some NOS tin suspender buttons on a pair of selvedge jeans made, believe it or not, by the trendy Cheap Monday brand that are dead ringers for the hugely expensive Lee 'Cowboy' cinchback model. Got the jeans for $20 off E*ay!

 

[PADDY]

Cheap canvas ones I got in the States. Old Town are currently out of my price range sadly.

 

[Speedster]

COWS (Classic Old West Styles) or Wahmaker, probably. I have a similar pair in the same colour made by Wakmaker. These two produces Old West clothing for the Cowboy action shooters.

Nice score on the Cheap Monday's there Mr. Badger....what's the denim like?

The denim's very nice, actually... hefty but soft, kinda like a slightly slubbed version of the Lee denim from Japan. The selvedge is on the instep side of the leg, too, which I initially found pretty annoying but now think is really cool. They cost me just £15 off Ebay - Sivletto in Sweden still has pairs for £45 sterling/$74 USD, up to a 36 waist. Speaking of which, they're genuinely high-waisted so buy 'em longer if you wanna cuff 'em (or like the ass on your trews baggy as all hell!)... the one mystifying thing is that they've no suspender/brace buttons, but given Cheap Monday's semi-fashionable status (skinny grey jeans - yuk!), I guess it's not in their demographic... I just sewed some NOS buttons on and was set to go...

The H&M shirts aren't bad, but they do have that roll-up sleeve button tab thing that I'm not crazy about. They did have a pretty cool banded collar one a few months ago, with cat eye buttons, side gussets and a pencil pocket. I was able to remove the roll-sleeve button pretty easily and undetectably on that one.

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

Agreed on the sleeve thingy. I think they have different models at the same time. I bought one not long ago but only with one normal breast pocket and plain long sleeves

 

[marineabilly]

Don't forget about the neat shawl sweaters at H&M for cheap.

Those were a little too "frail" feeling, for my taste. Then again, I'm a bigger guy, and more likely to rip seams!

I'm still regretting this navy, shawl collar sweater from Target last winter... It's KILLING ME, as it's a perfect fall/winter staple! Been trying to find one comparable ever since.
