Reproduction classic workwear

Not me! I found that pic online years ago and he's been "me" ever since!

There is something about the image though. Nice choice.

Japanese "Joe McCoy" reproduction of an old Levis shirt. Accurate down to the snaps and union labels.

Was just on the Old Navy website to see their new stuff for fall, and they finally have tab collar work shirts.

LVC boxing bag. Pretty sick. But worth $950?

 

[Metatron]

No.

What brand are they (a little hard to read the label in the photo) and do they carry those suspenders too? What's the price tag on them? Are they substantial or light weight fabric? Wool, cotton or polyester?

I know, so many questions.

Cheers!

Sorry for that lousy cell phone pic! They are the LOGG label. The suspenders are included! They are 100% canvas-y cotton. $39.95.
I love 'em. The fit may not be for everybody however. It's called "tapered", which is exactly what it sounds like: the top half is baggy and they taper down to a narrow leg opening. Not my usual cup of tea, but these don't bother me.

On the site it doesn't appear like you could wear these at or above the proper waist line. Am I wrong?

They aren't high waisted at all. But not low waisted either. Just like a regular pair of chinos. You definitely have to size up to have the suspenders be functional.

So, with the taper in the leg one might be able to wear them with tall boots, like riding boots or the lace up variety, without having a load of material bunch up inside the boots. May be worth a look.

Cheers!

They will most definitely fit inside boots!

Interesting new Holiday 2012 video on the front page of the RRL site. This time it's a Rockabilly/ Western Swing theme, featuring notables from the modern Rockin scene:

Now the price of Rockmount and H bar C stuff will go up. I love H bar C stuff too.
Besides their prices are insane.:eeek:
I would love to know the amount of pieces they sell at that price for a shirt. 295.00

An a jacket for a Grand and it's not even leather.

An inexpensive brown's beach replica by Shepard Fairey's "Obey" clothing line.

 

[flat-top]

I found that same one on Ebay Dinerman, but they were only 2 size mediums listed as "samples". I'd love to snag one in a large.

 

[Dinerman]

This is one of those ones marked "sample".
I also got their shawl collar mackinaw. Despite both being marked medium, the sizing is very different, with the brown's beach having a much more generous cut.
The quality's decent. The shawl collar coat is a pretty heavy wool with a fleecy backing. It's unlined, but nice and soft to wear. My one disappointment is the metal "Obey" tag on the pocket, which I'd planned to cut off, is solidly riveted through the material.

The brown's beach knockoff is fairly standard sweatshirt type cotton, again, with a fleeced backing, which is fairly true to the concept of the original, though not the material. The snaps are marked "obey" in a similar fashion to the snaps on the original. The workmanship is far and away better than the original Brown's Beach jacket I had a while back, but that's really not saying much.

Sweet jacket! That metal tag would drive me crazy too though!

 

[Dinerman]

There must be a way to pop it off somehow. Otherwise, I'll just hit it with a little bit of black paint.
