Many thanks to illumin8em, who's snagged me one o'them snazzy striped Levi's work shirts — that's the kind of co-operation that this world could do with more of!

Saw some Woolrich Woolen Mills stuff today. Oh man, just beautiful.
This Norfolk jacket is killer in person. And so was this one:

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!!!

I wore them all weekend - great pants! They do attract lint, however. No big deal.
I posted on SF that there was a 40% coupon code ("ACTIVE2010") that was actually working about a week ago. I was gonna pick up the brick colored ones, but once I tried to complete the purchase, my computer locked up and was unsure if it charged my card. After waiting a few days to see if my card was charged (it wasn't), I just went to the Levis store and picked up this black pair.
I also just purchased my second pair of S&P Cushman trousers for a KILLER deal - can't have enough of these awesome pieces of gear!

On the topic of workwear repro...
I was wondering if anyone in the Los Angeles area is planning to attend this:
http://risingsunjeans.com/2010/07/11/eureeka-jeans-of-the-old-west/
I hope this was the appropriate place to post such a query...it seemed like the most closely related place, given Rising Sun's work...
Lemme know if you're going...I've RSVPed, but I'm debating b/c my friends bailed and I don't feel like going it alone (just not as much fun).

Thanks DanielJones. The rise is short for my taste but it looks better on a young guy.

I have a Koto shirt from last year with that pocket that I love. The Levi's version is a bit pricey for what it is but I'll eventually grab one. But yeah, it's certainly a different look!mattfink said:

The shirt turned up in the mail today, once again, a big thanks to illumin8em, whatta gent!
BTW, the European/UK arm of Gap have upped the ante with their new Autumn workwear stuff, I saw it when I was around town in my lunch hour:
There's a really good dark denim loco workshirt with triple-stitch 'carpenter pants' seams, the classic 'upside down / pointed top' notebook pocket, and high armholes (I remember one FD-er complaining of this). The denim isn't pre-shrunk (there's a warning tag) and it's got a lovely weave so should shrink / fade beautifully.
There are a couple of non-chinstrap chambray shirts with diff-sized/flapped & non pockets — think they're in pale blue, grey and khaki.
Best of all, the 1969 range features a nice pair of brick brown, buckleback workwear jeans w/copper rivets and button fly.
Each of these runs around £38-40. Who'd of thought that Gap could show such imagination? I've been on the US & EU Gap websites to see if I could find some pics, but no dice...

Well I found a pair that fit me today for $12. I couldn't beat that with a stick. Yes, the rise could have been higher but I think I can live with it at this price. Plus I managed to wrangle in a pair of argyle socks that looked great.
Cheers!
