Here are the photos of the shirt. Looks like the shirt retailed for over $40. You only have to pay $5.60 shipping.

Chest: 24 1/2 x 2
Shoulders: 20"
Sleeve: 27"
Length (from collar seam down back to hem): 31"

That's quite a generous gesture Marineabilly....true gentleman!

Feraud · Feb 8, 2010

I was wearing this shirt yesterday!

This is generous of you marineabilly.

marineabilly · Feb 8, 2010

Thanks guys - I mean, throw a Cushman, Warp and Woof or Dapper's tag on it and it would retail for over $100.00, so even the original retail price was descent. I tried on one of the shirts I bought for myself and wore it around the house - it never came off. It's a great looking, comfortable shirt.

Also, while I was there, they had a really nice looking shawl collar sweater, FYI. It isn't your tiny shawl collar, it's nice and substantial with lower patch pockets and elbow reinforcement - it's a nice period looing piece. It was either 59 or 69 bucks. I got a survey coupon that gives me 20% off my next purchase of regular priced items, so I think I'll be pulling the trigger on the sweater. Needless to say I made out that night

You just never know what you'll find at the local mall.

That is absolutely correct. These new made pieces fall right into my way of thinking about how quality vintage detailed clothing need not cost an arm and a leg.

marineabilly · Feb 8, 2010

Amen to that.

Speaking of arm and a leg and high Japanese prices, tempation got the best of me again for the third time in one week. I ordered this one through Japan. It's a 1930's Corduroy waist jacket with side buckles, grommet zipper and shawl collar.

I wouldnt say that japanese stuff is pricey,its just a case of getting what you pay for

i just landed a Lofgren paperboy cap for $79 us,its worth every penny

by the way,that is a killer jacket

Really? No one wants a free, brand new chinstrap gusseted workshirt? I'd totally be all over this one. I guess this is how things end up at the local thrift shop.

That's a generous offer. I'd take it like a shot if there wasn't a risk of crippling customs duty.

????? How much duty could there be on a $9 shirt?

Mysterious Mose · Feb 9, 2010

Hey, I was gonna say that.
But customs charged me €50,= once on a $100.= dollar shirt. It's pretty bad at the moment.

Sorry, read it as $40. I'll take it! PM incoming.

marineabilly · Feb 9, 2010

Sorry guys - in the interest of not losing out on too much money, I'm keeping this Stateside. I guess I shoulda said that to begin with. :eusa_doh:

Golden Earache · Feb 9, 2010

I'd take it, it matches my gray cham, but I can't wear red, being already pink enough.

Doug C · Feb 10, 2010

Hey I'd love to have that shirt marineabilly, I didn't speak up earlier 'cause I figured someone in a more rural area would surely get it. I can guarantee you though that none of the worth while shirts from the Gap are on sale in my area, don't even think they've had 'em on display for very long. Besides it couldn't go to a more broke dude than I anyway.

Doug C · Feb 10, 2010

On second thought.... I just realised I have a shirt from Jcrew that's a little too similar and that I never wear. I better pass afterall, as cool as it is. I love the look but the reality is that I tend to ignore the red plaid.

Killer jacket and a nice price Marc!

marineabilly · Feb 10, 2010

Alright All, looks like I found someone. I'm surprised it took so long to give away a free workwear shirt. That just means one thing to me - you all are a good group of fella's who didn't all jump at the offer right away. I may do this again as I find stuff like this.

Cheers!
