Reproduction classic workwear

[Feraud]

Resortes just told me that he's seen it being used on kid's handbags! So it seems that it's probably easily accessible in Japan.
I'd be happy with just enough to get a cap made!

A cap would be great!

Why the cotton?

 

[Gobble]

Has anyone else ponied up for the BB cloth? Would be a shame to see this thing fizzle

 

[Luxire]

Why the cotton?

If I understand correctly, the cotton is highly compacted, making the shell rugged, thus immune to brushing against the bush, for example. Something like canvas. Difficult to achieve that with wool.

I placed a order........but what kind of design we want? As in the movie picture... Or Patch pockets, Shawl Collar ? A few ideas ?

 

[Gobble]

as with all of Luxire's clothes I assume it will be completely up to you to tailor it to your preferences. Nonetheless it is a hard decision for the jacket, there are some cracking examples on the web.

This style looks cool

I like that shawl collared Freewheelers Norfolk in Brown's Beach.

Lofgrens Shawl Collar are also great !!

 

[Gobble]

LVC F/W 2014 Lookbook!

The Metropolis theme looks pretty good!

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

The lvc lookbook is cool. The clothes are less Fritz Lang metropolis and more Lewis Hine / empire state building but it's cool to mix both for a fictional storyline. They just got the women's hairstyle wrong which looks much later. Why not bobbed?

Veronica Lakes hair styl is also incorrect for the 1940s.......

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

Huh? Was it? I dunno but in the lookbook the pictures without the women cleary look more "real". She seems to belong to another collection maybe the hot rod fifties stuff.

How far off are we from reaching the goal of browns beach cloth?

How far off are we from reaching the goal of browns beach cloth?

We are far, but determined. We realized that our investment in the cloth is anyways going to be huge ,so, the target initial orders would not make much of a difference monetarily.

We are thus doing it for the love of it.

The ones that we have are encouragement enough, with you leading the pack.

The sample hat should reach us next week to get the ball rolling. Good chance that it will be ready in time for use in the coming season.
