I've been wanting a shirt from them for awhile.
Their largest size would probably fit me, but they are hard to find.

I did the gray and I like how it turned out.
It's subtle.

So I received my pair yesterday. I like them but am soliciting owners of CF Wabash about shrinkage. I'm thinking about doing a hot soak. I want them to shrink some and get the starch out, but trying to determine if I should just do a warm soak. THanks! It's been awhile since I received mine, don't remember how I originally washed/soaked them. I eventually ended up making them into shorts. I'd recommend doing a warm soak, if that's not enough shrink do a hot soak. I'd expect some shrink in the length. Shorts!
Thanks, I'll try and do it that way.

@ furu
Thanks for the fabric update. I have to call those guys anyways and figure out my jacket order, maybe I should just select my fabric from the 18oz varieties.

Sharp looking boots, NC! That bullhide sure is unique and love that level of customization. Thanks!
Yes, that level of customization is fantastic for the price.
I waited a year to finally get that leather. I went with the black back-stay with the thought being that I will get wear spots on the heel counter there from driving and with it being black I can just put some black polish on it and bring it back to color. Trying to color match that blue would be a PITA as I prefer my boots clean and polished.

The fabric looks much brighter in that pic than my swatch does. I guess it would lighten up when fading though. Let me know how it is because I might just want to get a pair myself... not sure how much wear it would get though. Except I think he just doubled the price of the wabash. So I got olive drab twill and the olive denim swatches. Did anyone find out if the olive denim is really 12.5 oz, because it feels even thicker than the wabash. I heard someone say they recognized the denim from another brand that used it and it was said to be more like 14.5oz which feels about right. Can't decide between the two, but I would do the denim in jeans and the twill in chinos. Your right, it does look lighter made up than in the roll.
Yeah, he was talking about raising prices. I got that pair in under the price increase and I also have a pair of the 23oz on order and I see those went up as well.
You say you have the drab twill, so thats the light one?
Your looking at the Moss swatch? I don't see a drab. I was thinking about getting a pablo made in the Olive but cannot decide if I want copper or Ivory stitching on it. Am also contemplating Olive Moss with Navy stitching......

Yeah, gotta have a storm welt for actual bad weather. I think I'd have to go for structured toe as well. A collapsed toe on a dressier shoe would aggravate me.

Keep in mind the 430 is a heavier and thicker sole than dainite. Probably the best sole for casual boots. I'm mighty tempted to get a derby shoe in moose though. Not sure if I want to take chances with the QC. Good point about the weight.
I really like Plain Toe Bluchers\Derbys with interesting leathers. I have struggled to find them with an outsole suitable for the winter and this would fit the bill.
I like Trickers new offering and Rancourt has a new one as well, but those are both limited to fair weather wear.

I guess everyone is just enjoying there clothing. All I wear nowadays is shorts or sweatpants after I get off my shift. ahh yeah. I am.
I picked up a American Trench x Corridor shirt for like 1/3 normal price. An Epaulet sashiko work jacket/blazer thing. I am also waiting on a pair of Whites to be delivered in the next month. Ohh yeah, and 2 pairs of CF jeans that have been on order for awhile, 1 pair in 21oz and the other in wabash.
I am coming to SF for Dreamforce again this year so maybe I'll hit you up for lunch.

This could probably be its own topic, but it's related to 2018 purchases so I'll set it up here - has anyone pulled the trigger on a duplicate second pair of a denim that you wear all the time and may not be around in the future? If so, was the logic the scarcity of the denim or just a good fit/fade? I've been debating it - although $250-$275 for a pair to sit on "standby" is about as logical as my denim buying habits of about 2-3 years ago.
I did this with Tailor Stitch green herringbone chino's and Bravestar Cramerton Chinos. The TS pair I got a good deal new on Ebay and the Cramertons I bought because the mill is not operating anymore and the fit is incredible for me.
I had contemplated it on the G Italy double Indigo's but they seem to run those 2x a year anyways.

Relwen - how can you sell shirts for almost $200 and not provide sizing? For sure. Its mind boggling that the company website can't provide sizing info. If I remember correctly, I might have purchased it from this site, but not 100% sure. Its slim pickings for most of their sale stuff, but I might have hit the timing right for getting an XL. At least they have some sizing info. theroyalbloke.com/product/relwen-navy-red-tartan-plaid-airtex-broadcloth/Thanks.
I figured if you could wear it I likely could as well and that XL is right in my wheelhouse......so I'll keep an eye out for them.

Hey guys, Looking at the Moto shirt, which is in last call for $89 and made in CA to boot. Question on sizing, as I've never tried the Moto shirt. I've heard that they run small compared to the Jacks, Mechanics or California styles. Can anyone back that up? I wear a large in the others. Also, understood that there were QC issues with this run, but TS has always been pretty good about refunds or replacements, even if they were in Last Call. Thanks for any advice. I did return the first one they sent me for being a little tight in the chest.

Good to know.
I also have the original Cramerton and the newer neutral chino color. The Cramerton is more yellow whereas the current color is more greenish.
The "newer neutral chino" is the combat khaki? The online color does look similar to the Cramerton, but regardless it looks good. I sent Mik a note regarding the combat khaki in a denim cut. Yes, that is what I meant. The Combat Khaki is slighly greenish and the Cramerton is more yellowish. IT's not a huge difference but does impact color matching shirts a little bit. For example, black looks better with the Combat than the Cramerton IMO.

New Chino Colors: Military Green, Black, & Midnight Navy. I already have the Coal which do not really look different from the Black Swatch or the Navy swatch. Copped a Military Green. My favorite chinos, if your on the bubble, grab a pair.
Same here. My favorite chino.... and fyi FYI the navy is the previously offered coal. They changed the name Good to know.

wee bit pricey for me Other thing, my lightweight Gustins drape horribly. I'm wearing 18oz coal/black today, one of my favorite pairs ever. I don't think that's a Gustin exclusive. Seems like anything under 14oz drapes similarly. Both my 11oz and 12.5oz look different than anything 14oz or heavier. Good to know.
Looks like I have a new pair of G's headed my way. I'm thinking I'll get them hemmed after a couple washes as I'm not sure I want to cuff for summer wear.
