Thanks Mattfink!
Yeah, I totally didn't even read the JCrew's description. I saw the color and immediately placed the order. After I received it, I looked at the website and sure enough..."Japanese Selvedge"
Nice, but the epaulettes would drive me nuts.
I dig the fake union label they added to the shirt.
Workwear is the new Black.
Isn't a fake union label just... wrong?
It is a nice shirt though.
Yes, it is as wrong as paying a lot of money for workwear and being afraid to do work in.
It's just detail.

Hey, if Dickies or Carhartt start making period perfect 1930's workwear for $20 a pop I'll be glad to buy it and destroy it. This stuff is just fashion.
Exactly - it's a reproduction. Why not try and capture as much of the original as possible? Almost all Japanese repop workwear has a union label, some exact and some are interpretations with the company's name.Yes, it is as wrong as paying a lot of money for workwear and being afraid to do work in.

I'd like to see more items focusing on details that don't necessarily need to include a chinstrap. Wider variation of heavy duty materials used, and more 30's shaped collars would be great!
I may have a great hat, but I don't let it go to my head.
