Reproduction classic workwear

[Dinerman]

I'm hoping mine shows up today as well- tracking's looking promising. In this day and age of next-day-amazon-shipping, it's surprising when things take almost a month to be delivered.

Still waiting on a partial shipment from vente-privee...luckily it was only a t-shirt that was held back.

I thought this was cool: J Crew's Wallace & Barnes inspiration:

I think this is JCrews Wallace and Barnes inspiration

Its funny because its JCrews own brand, but now when they have sales storewide on anything other than 3rd party brands they get to exclude and of the W&B stuff.

If you have a J Crew card the card only coupon codes work online on Wallace & Barnes. I know that in the store when they are running a promotion it's an exclusion.

Got the Vente Privee order....chinstrap Sunset shirt in kelp was great, no so much on the canvas bag. It's sort of rubbery feeling and it's getting sent back! No word on the t-shirt that I ordered yet.

I picked up these Wallace & Barnes pants that I was complaining about several pages back.
They are very cool with great material and details but I just wish they weren't "skinny" fit.

If you can live with the fit, or are slender, then I recommend them.

I picked up this black wool CPO shirt from Klaxon Howl recently. Its made from amazing black wool from Woolrich Woolen Mills.

Just stumbled upon this picture and thought it was cool. Not much info except it is from a parisian label called "Noir Basic" which doesn't have a proper homepage. So...[huh]

I dont know if anyone is interested but I have a blog at http://www.workingtodeath.tumblr.com. Its nothing too crazy but I figure it would be of interest to anyone who checks this thread.

So after reading on other boards about people finding RRL stuff at discount stores such as Marshall's and TJMAXX, I've been very carefully checking the racks whenever I'm there.
Well, the other day I spied this hang tag sticking out of a rack:

I almost had a heart attack. Then I discovered that the tag was tied to pair of run of the mill RL Polo jeans. I don't know how this happened, but I was pretty disappointed :eusa_doh:

I got one of these Wallace & Barnes Naval Workshirts on sale at J.Crew. It showed up in the mail today. It fits perfectly and I really like the the anchor buttons. Im excited to break this thing in like a pair of jeans. It looks darker in person than this photo shows.

I know what you mean. I love Bela's work, he is getting ready to make an eight panel cap for me, and I'm seriously thinking about getting the vest in the same tweed.

I think now as he is doing his apprenticeship in tayloring there will be coming some nice things in the future. Oh goodness, gotta sell the house.....

L.L. Bean Signature Outerwear on sale

Just a heads up, most of the L.L. Bean Signature Outerwear is on sale today for pretty significant discounts. I purchased the Blanket Lined Corduroy Coat in Root Beer last week and it arrived yesterday. It is AWESOME! L.L. Bean was cool enough to give me the difference of today's sale price when I called. Now that is great service. :eusa_clap
