Reproduction classic workwear

[AlanC]

Very nice!

Got this in the mail earlier this past week:

Went to the Jcrew "Mens Store" in NYC today. I was disappointed. they had all the work shirts which were nice but all over priced, and when I mean over priced they were asking $98 for a white work shirt that at any other "normal" Jcrew retails for $68. They also had a cotton "Mister Freedom" work shirt for $200+ and a "Mister Freedom" handkerchief for $59. sorta just made me :eusa_doh:
Back on the topic of workwear. the Work shirts I felt did not seem to thin to me but rather solid.

I just had to have the white JCrew Chambray chinstrap as soon as they were re-released last week on line. Yeah, $98.00 is high, but since I was considering the white MF for over $200, the JCrew didn't sound so bad after all. I just needed to a white chinstrap - I have too many gray's and other non-white colors

I should be receiving within the next few days. Oh yah, they kill you on shipping. It's $12.50 minimum plus the $9.50 tax. :eusa_doh:

Got this in the mail yesterday - shawl collar, hookless grommet zipper, side buckles...

I was going through an old issue of Free & Easy and found an original version of my newly acquired jacket. This is an EXACT replica :eusa_clap

Those work shirts have been $98 since they released them. They have a slightly different version they sell at their outlet stores for about $50 - $60 (they might even be on sale for less). The Mister Freedom stuff is there to make the J. Crew shirts seem affordable. They are supposed to release a chinstrap in a red hue, which I would love to get.

Marineabilly - you are making me sick with this jacket! Damn it! Like the white shirt, but not for me...I never, ever wear white.

 

[marineabilly]

Thanks Mattfink! Yeah, I just had to pull the trigger on that jacket. The pose of the two pictures was purely coincidence :eusa_doh: I thought, i'd give the white shirt a try - they just make them look so good on Rakuten.

Did you see this leather jacket on Warp & Woof? Holy moly!!!

Oh man, I was drooling over that last week when they posted it. K-I-L-L-E-R!!

Aero used to make a jacket very like this, but with a zipper instead of buttons.

Warp & Woof has been releasing some really good products recently...their newsboy caps are killer as well.

Wonder if they'd do it with buttons....the W&W stuff only goes up to a 40 and I need a 44.

Those caps look great! How does one purchase from them? What are their prices like? Any options on materials used?

That's my downfall - all the Japanese stuff fit me, which means the temptation is very high to buy their super expensive garb. I just don't know how to react to it ---------> :rage: :eusa_clap :eusa_doh:

You can find good vintage workwear in your size too Marineabilly!

-Unfortunately, most Japanese clothing shops refuse to ship overseas. One exception is rakuten.co.jp, but they don't seem to carry Warp & Woof items.
