Reproduction classic workwear

[flat-top]

Matt, is there a style name of these pants? What should I be looking for?

[Nick Charles]

yes do tell, are they still on the Abercrombie site??

My grandfathers (b. 1894 and 1900) wore bib overalls as workwear.

I don't wanna hijack Matt's thread, but I picked up a pair of these tonight. $30! They are called "Regulation Officer Trousers". The reason they run so large is because there is a drawstring inside the waistband (which I just removed!).
Thanks for the tip off Matt!

No hijacking... They look goo, and if you find them at a good price pick them up.

Overall and coveralls and Denim has always been work wears workhorse... I'm more of a fan of the tough yellowy orange cotton trousers with the full legs than the fore mentioned attire.

Any chance you have a link to those trousers Matt? And what about the jacket (which is very nice)?

[Matt Deckard]

I'm not that big of a fan of the inner flap with the button fly, so I suggest cutting it out. I'm also a big fan of just the work shirts from the era. they had the highlt curved long collars like the dress shirts. I have a couple and will need to show pics.

Great look Matt, especially the cap and A-2.

This is what I was wearing the other week when I had to take my bus to be inspected -



I didn't go out of my way to look vintage, the boots are Doc M's, check shirt from a Gap sale, hand me down jeans, and my favourite 8 panel cap. I'm not wearing it in the picture but I had a beat up old M41 as well.

[Matt Deckard]

The gap shirt pretty cool. I know a few peple who get their jeans from Old Navy, as well as stripey shirts which fit the work bill fine.
