Talking about shirt and fit. Any of you XL-XXL wearing guys a bit tired of having such fitted/high arm holes? From the front they look fine but turned side ways the wider body and skinny fitted arms look off. I wish they would adjust the patterns to be more appropriately sized. I've found my store bought (Gap, Wrangler, Levi's, even TS) have a much better fit. I'm a XLT JC**W, XXLT Gustin, 46 Taylor Stitch for reference. Any yes, I am tired of the phenomena. Since it's turned colder I've had days where I went all MiC wearing my JC**W XLT's and man, it's relaxing. I'm wearing a 46 TS Jack shirt that is actually a nice compromise. The G's sometime give me fits and Iv'e found that thicker fabric TS work shirts I can't wear because they are too small with the high armhole. I now wear only A cut tank top undershirts, which is Ok with me because a full tshirt is usually too warm for me. But anyone that migrates to these "high armhole" type shirts and is accustomed to wearing regular tshirts is gonna have a tough time. I even tried to buy some G t's thinking they may match the cut better than other brand of t's but I gave up on that too. I only wear tshirt's seperatly for the most part, not as undershirts unless I'm wearing a larger cut flannel that I'm gonna leave open.

I own 3 of 3sixteen's crosscut flannels and now that i've owned them for awhile i'd say they're an easy pass if you already own IH flannels. Love their choices in fabric but the SS16 crosscuts I bought were both sewn under spec and after a cold wash hang dry they fit tighter than I like. Either that or i've gained weight. I think i'm just burnt out on their stuff. Good to know. The specs on their shirts are very very close for me so I don't think I could afford any shrink. At $200 I want to be in love with them. I do really like their fabric choices though.

northcoast it was Rogue Territory shirts that were sub par for me. I've never owned a 3sixteen button up shirt but Ive been tempted a few times myself. I have several 3sixteen T-shirts and I can say that the quality is great. AH crud. Well, as long as the sewing on this on is ok, at 11oz I think it should be fine. But duly noted. ANd thanks for the clarification.

S&S Has a 20% off sale on right now through Friday ( code = tinyhands) so I grabbed this shirt. Haha, yeah I just saw the e-mail for "Orange Friday". Really good discount at 20%, I might need to take a look over there. Hope the shirt works for you, it's quickly become a go-to for me this fall. Edit: looks like you got the last XXL, it says sold out now. Ahh sweet, last one. Code is up on SF so I'd jump on something if you want it. I did debate for like 5 minutes then said screw it, been looking at it for a couple months and is currently the only denim shirt that I think will probably fit me. Good to know it's a staple, thats what I was hoping for and the weather is changing. I was tempted to buy this 3sixteen shirt as well, but since I"m not sure if it will fit, and I thnk Ickles did not like the quality, and S&S you can only return for store credit.......... I passed. I had this in my basket ready to buy but no discount so I passed.

Fit pic of the neppy work shirt in size XXL. I'd been eye balling their ISC work shirt for a while but I wanted something to contrast better with my IH-634SB's instead of being overly tonal. Another plus is that this one is soft and instantly wearable day one due to the rinse process opposed to the rigidity and stiffness that frequently gets reported about the ISC. For $30 less to boot, I'd say it's a winner. Paging northcoast since we're similar in size. Fit is similar to my Taylor Stitch 46 Mechanic Shirt through the body with longer looser arms. S&S Has a 20% off sale on right now through Friday ( code = tinyhands) so I grabbed this shirt.

I voted in person via. a paper ballot.
My wife early voted.
But nearly half of the electorate did not.
There is no interest in making this process easier, only harder. See below.
231,556,622 eligible voters
46.9% didn't vote 25.6% voted Clinton 25.5% voted Trump

I did not see one serious statistical analysis that indicated a greater than 30% chance for Trump to win. SO I'll start there with my surprised face. excuse me while I put on my tin foil hat for a second....but what I'm saying is how do we even know that there's any legitimacy to these "polls" and that they aren't completely fabricated by the media. I don't take them seriously for one second. I'm not one to take the medias word as the gospel truth. Even if these polls are actually taken there are so many variables to any given poll that can skew the result in one way or the other. Well I guess thats the $5 question, how were they THAT far out of range given so many previous results in range. But 30% is 1 in 3...........

polls are bull shit. I'm really surprised that so many people are acting surprised by the result. I did not see one serious statistical analysis that indicated a greater than 30% chance for Trump to win. SO I'll start there with my surprised face.

My favorite is the chambray lined twill indigo double cloth that lawless sold as chambray. I've got two of them since I bought one from brentcuz back when he existed, but my favorite is the green thread/green snaps. It's a little big to wear as a shirt typically (sized as an over shirt), so the second one I picked up (contrast yellow stitching black snaps) gets a good bit of wear, also. Neither can be replaced as far as I know, I'd have to hope for pbj to run theirs again, and hope I'm small enough to fit into it. Traveling, though, one of those sturdy oxford cloths from gustin or whomever has to be the way to go for a "one shirt". Dresses up or down just by ironing, tucking, or rolling the sleeves. The button-down collar will only turn up noses in certain circles that don't really travel, anyway, but you know if that's the situation you're headed into. I have oxfords from several different companies, but the standard blue G oxford I have is by far my favorite solid oxford shirt to wear. It's hard to sell someone on a piece like that but the fabric feels so much nicer than any other oxford I own. One of these days I'll buy their green offering as well.

Yeah, I got that. Of course I forgot all about it. Probably partially because I don't think all those items end up going into production. But since I'm Mechanic superfan I'm sure I'll buy it. I did pass on the blue/red utility flannel. Thought it followed the new "Kohls Rule" for me. Everybody and their brother is wearing standard lumberjacks these days so I don't feel compelled to pay the premium. "Kohls Rule" lol look what I started I'm going to start weeding out old shirts with this..."nah bro, that's Kohls." You did start it, and it's a good rule. And I debated and decided it applied to both shirts. Not to say that I was not tempted, it's just I see that one commercial in my head with the guy with the huge lumberjack beard and that shirt on singing in his car every time I thought about buying it. Man, I hate that commercial.

Where are the pics of this release? Did you not get the survey when it dropped about a month ago? That was in there. I assumed that all survey takers would vote that into production. I'm guessing it's gonna drop when I'm further in my current "no spend week" (it's a week until I can last two weeks). Yeah, I got that. Of course I forgot all about it. Probably partially because I don't think all those items end up going into production. But since I'm Mechanic superfan I'm sure I'll buy it. I did pass on the blue/red utility flannel.

Do we have enough pull as a forum to get a forum discount? Maybe after we delete this thread?

Stretch chino - I wasn't sold on these until I saw that picture for the Khaki stretch - ballet on the beach, they really know their demographic. This is a "get off my lawn moment". The only stretch garments I own are my underwear and socks and I intend to keep it that way.

This order is sewn up and shipping next week. Puts it at about 12 weeks exactly. I had them put two flap pockets on top and paid extra for a few minor pattern mods.

i'm going to get these as well, although i tried to use the CUBS 20% off code and it won't work. the coupon only works for in stock items. just used it for two items i should have gotten when they were discounted workshop items and i seemed to always have 15-20% welcome coupons. Thanks for trying. Wont work for me either, and the herringbone green pants are in stock.

Just paid a premium for the olive camp pant. I have not had a goto pair of green pants for a couple years and these measure very well for my fit preferences. i'm going to get these as well, although i tried to use the CUBS 20% off code and it won't work. I was at Game 7 and this code offends me. Unless it works? /most Cubs fans I met were nice, but I was in no mood to talk.

Why must they poke me in the eye?! I'm torn because I really like the black. But the tan will probably be more versatile. Looks like a workhorse. /i heart Portugal!
