I'll take a stab and say Post O'Alls. I actually really have no Idea, but I can see them shopping at Barney's for Howie's "wacky" wardrobe.marineabilly said:Based on this photo alone, I'm diggin' Howie's shirt on this evening's America's Got Talent. Does anyone here have an idea of it's origin?

Creeping Past said:Good work. Are you using a pattern taken from an existing pair of trousers?
I'm having sewing lessons at the moment, after a couple of years of false-starting on my own. My first effort, a waistcoat, is almost finished and I'm planning a rejigged waistcoat pattern and then a pair of jeans. I saw these Rising Sun ones and have been considering adapting a commercial jeans pattern by replacing inset pockets with patch pockets.
Not sure how I'm going to get a button fly, but slowly does it...

It is great to see such creativity and entrepreneurim at work.H.Johnson said:Mr. Past,
Excellent! I think it's great that a few of the FL'ers are making things for themselves. It's very satisfying, saves (a lot of) money and is somehow more 'vintage' than Web shopping. Also, I know of quite a few people who have turned such a hobby into a small business that makes them a living.
I'd like to see a situation come around again where there are numerous small, local businesses making hand-crafted products. That will only occur if people stop 'shopping across the world.

marineabilly said:I picked up a black pair of 201s at the Levis store tonight - great fit!! I was up in the air between the MF Midnight Riders and this was a perfect replacement at a fourth of the price. I have the MF Chino Riders and these bad boys fit equal if not better. Highly recommended. I might have to get the brick colored ones online.
Cheers!!!
Creeping Past said:I can recommend River Junction's shirts, but not their wool pants. The pair I ordered from them a couple of years ago were made in a fabric that was unsuitable for pants; the cut was very poor; and the finishing was bad.
Maybe they were going through a rough patch back then, but based on this bad experience, including communication problems relating to an extended delay in supplying said poor-quality garment, I shan't be ordering wool pants - or another other pants - from them again.
