Thanks for posting that link. Those are SOOO cool! It was actually on my to do list this weekend to go to the Levi's store and buy my annual pair of selvage 501s . . . looks like I have an extra item for my list.

FYI - in case you missed the opportunity to purchase the 201 workwear jeans online (I think they're sold out at the stores also), urbanoutfitters just listed them with more sizes.

I notice UO lists the rise @ 10". Mine measured 13".
I wonder what gives? [huh]

I know River Junction has been discussed before, to what I've seen as mixed reviews, but has anyone tried these duck Gold Rush Jeans? The return policy being what it is, I don't want to lose shipping and 20% if I don't like them.

My local Levis store has a new 201 buckleback in distressed tan - it looks pretty good and I picked up a Wabash polkadot shirt at UO for 19.00 on sale.

I got the Wabash shirt too! I was surprised at how thick and sturdy it is.

On a related note, does anyone know what type of buttons are on the e-workers, or better yet an original Wabash polka dot shirt?
*edit* I found a pic of the buttons!

 

[marineabilly]

Man, what a fit on the wabash shirt! Not a bad deal if I do say so myself. However, I don't think it would be smart to wear it out to stores with security beepers. For some reason, I set off the beeper upon entry and exit from Target. I didn't set off the beeper when I left UO, though. [huh]

 

[mattfink]

I like the tucked in look best!

 

[marineabilly]

Ha! Me too - that was a poke at the untucked topic on sufu.

My wife had a similar problem with a raincoat a while back. We discovered there was a tag inside the coat with a circuit in it for security purposes, and she had failed to cut it out, as instructed.

Check out the Heller's Cafe/JCrew items.

Choke, sputter....sticker shock! That pin checked work jacket is nice. Kind of misleading calling reproductions "One Of A Kind Vintage" though.

 

[Feraud]

Jeeze Louise. JCrew prices are obscene. I hate all that fake distressing.

 

[mattfink]

I think it looks ok, but wouldn't buy it for myself. Either real vintage or stock repros for me.

This is an interesting concept. Some of it is very cool and all of it is way too expensive.

 

[marineabilly]

Neat! Thanks for posting that ^

I just left the local Lucky brand store and they really ramped up on their Johnson Motors vintage printed Ts, to include more 30s/40s style Henleys with prints and they even have a descent looking chore jacket. Not sure if any of the stuff is online - I haven't been on their site in ages.

And it looks great on you too. :eusa_clap

I hope they start carrying better stuff again...been crap lately.

 

[mattfink]

BTW, just checked and they've got the stuff you're describing on their site. I dig the henley, but does anyone know where to get just a plain one with the cuffed sleeves? I've got a Levi's Sunset, but I'd like to get some more for every day use.
