Reproduction classic workwear

[DoubleXX]

Nice stuff! There must be a fortune lying on his steps..... :eeek:

Those garments are Japanese repros.

Those garments are Japanese repros.

So I stand corrected: A HUGE fortune!

So I stand corrected: A HUGE fortune!

The vintage originals sell for more money than the Japanese repros.

Looks like the just tacked it on a pair of pants.

Now all JCrew needs to do is add some rise to the trousers and they may have a halfway decent looking product.

I bought this shirt last week. It's pretty darn good for the price. Warning though: for some reason the gray fits a full size larger than the blue!

Looks like RRL has a version of a Brown's Beach Jacket this season......

Saw a version of this at the Ralph Lauren outlet today. Handwarmer pockets instead of the patch pockets. Had a hood. They nailed the feel of the fleece-y interior of the real browns beach cloth. Snaps had Ralph Lauren in the correct font. Nice attention to detail. Even on clearance, though, it was over $400.

 

[Derek Cavin]

That is awesome looking, but a little out of my price range.

Not a fan of the patchwork style on new stock.

 

[Dinerman]

Planning on swapping out the buttons, but I like the look. Sort of Indian Blanket meets Browns Beach.

Did anyone every get the work shirts posted here recently from Old Navy? Wondering if they are worth the bother for a casual shirt for office work.

I did. Got this one, which, if you use your imagination a bit, has a Stiffel-like pattern to it:

They are "slim fit", so even an XL was a bit tight for me in the chest and sleeves. Quality/fit are decent---made in China, so we can't expect much. I got it for 25% off as well.

+1.

Thanks for the quick review...always on the lookout for cheap gear for work.

The whole beauty of a patch is that the wearer sewed it himself, out of necessity, and gave his garments a unique personality!

Yes, but true vintage patchworked pieces sell for thousands of dollars these days. RRL offers the same look for much less money.
