Today...

Picked up 2 Chambray workshirts, and a brown HBT SB vest...pictures to come! I couldn't find any chinstrap collars, ones got something like a spread collar and the other has a pin point. I love this vest, and to think all found at Target lol.

There is a pretty good chambray shirt at Target, by Converse. Cool pockets, and "cut off" epaulets. I'm sure I'll eventually get one.
I did actually just pick up, from their Mossimo label, a pair of railroad pants. Not bad for $24.99.

I got a converse one-star shirt from target. Promptly cut off all the tags and the label with the converse grommets on the back.

Looks like I'll be hitting Target on the way home!!!

 

[Creeping Past]

Very good! Shame there's no Target over in the UK. The mass market chambray-style shirts here are not so good.

It's very easy to do and leaves no marks or darker spots. Took me all of about 2 minutes with a razor blade. I'm very happy with it, especially for under $25.

I got that same shirt yesterday! Along with a dark blue chambray without stripes. Its a great shirt, I'm gonna go back and get a couple more soon.

Just to update... I think it was in this thread that I commented on the quality of the Dickies chambray shirt. Well the shirt tends to pill up after a few washings..

This is what I dressed in today :

Brown Herring Bone 4Pocket Vest

Blue and white Chambray Workshirt

Tweed Cap

Army Wool Trousers I think 1937 Pattern not sure, No QM tag also worn with an army trouser belt.

No luck at Target with any workwear style clothing...I live in the ghetto.....

Based on this review and these pics, I stopped at Bon Target last night and picked up a couple of shirts, this one included. Wow! Nice shirt! Needless to say, the Converse stuff came off before it went into the wash. I think I have a new favorite shirt....

I tried yesterday too at the closest Target, only small and XL left. Maybe I'll try to get to the next closest one this weekend.

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:

WOW! They are PROUD of that shirt, aren't they?!?!?

Dinerman,

I just had another thought...tell us about that chain, and the watch I assume to be on the other end of it.....

It's connected to a 20-some year old USSR made Pobeda. Nothing particularly special, but it's a solidly built mechanical watch. I find it much more convenient to wear my watch in a shirt pocket than in a pants pocket.

Very reasonable... I broke the crystal on a watch wearing it in my "watch pocket".

How is that chain connected on the button end?

It has a spring loaded ring on the end of the watch chain, along the lines of this one.
