Pendleton shirts

I think that Pendleton also has collaborations with Levis and Hurley

sizing

Hello pendleton fans,
I've got my eye on a couple of used shirts online.
I am between medium and large 40/42,
Any tips on sizing? Do they fit true to size?

Metatron, for used Pendleton you must inquire about the shirts actual measurements. Since they are wool if washed incorrectly they will shrink considerably. The chances of that are high. The pit to pit and sleeve length are essential to know.

Ditto to this advice, the tag is not helpful on vintage wool shirts, except that you can expect the shirt will likely be smaller than what the tag indicates.

Thanks for your advice, I will be careful with the measurements.
As far as proper care is concerned, do you hand wash them?

Also, worth nothing is that Pendelton's sizing has changed over the years. The older ones tend to run smaller than newer ones and very recent Pendeltons run longer.

I actually have my Pendeltons dry cleaned since they are essentially an outer wear item and don't usually require frequent washing.

It's funny cause one of the ones i'm considering has short sleeves. You'd think that short sleeves and wool are contradictory, but then I suppose if you layer on top of it it is still a valid winter garment.

I have mine dry cleaned too and I always wear them with a tee-shirt. Wool is great for not holding odor and can handle multiple wearings between cleanings.

Can anyone explain the Lobo line? Higher end than Pendleton proper? Lower end than Pendleton proper? Was there a focus behind the Lobo line? I'm confused why it was necessary. Any insight is appreciated.

Never heard of Lobo, is it new or vintage? Any links?

I'm not sure from what time frame it is. I have a really nice Lobo fisherman's sweater, and I see items pop up on ebay. I haven't had much luck finding any information.

I'll have to agree with the older Pendletons running a bit small. I have both a new one and an old one in the same size. The washable one's while not made in the USA (They should be) do wash very nicely and are comfortable. My "Trail' model is in the Green w/ slight flecks of brown has the suede elbow patches along with Pendleton tag at pocket's edge. I bought it as a close-out at half price. A t-shirt under mine with 20 year old blanket lined, Carhartt Chore jacket was more than enough in the high 20's today.

What better reason to bump than one of the best Pendleton Shirt sales I've seen in a while. Let's help 'em out!!

I picked this Board shirt up from one of their outlet stores a couple years ago during a sidewalk sale for a real decent price. One of my favorite shirts.

Not a fan of all the changes they have made. If you want good flannels now, you have to go for Iron Heart and The Flat Head. Those two (specifically IH) stole pendleton's flannel crown a while ago.

I have some vintage ones. Is it better to fold or hang them, since they are wool after all?
