New Stowa Marine Klassik polished 40mm. Getting my dress watch on, kind of nice to have something that slips under a cuff.

Eesh, contact dropping off after multiple attempts to figure out where my month late shirt and God-knows-how-late pant repair are in the process. I'm having deja vu.

Anyone know if Manny's MIA? I've emailed him twice about a pair of jeans I never received and got no reply He emailed me to say he'd been sick for two weeks and was going to be getting back in the shop tomorrow.

The lighter color would be the external, the indigo-dyed is the internal (commonly referred to as the weft). If the warp were indigo and the weft persimmon, I would think it was an interesting idea, but not really for me They made those in the past and I own them. But they are sitting on my shelf waiting to break into the rotation.

Did anyone alert @untucked that the leather field jacket is funding again at $399? Seems likes solid value. I'd take the blue in waxed if I could get it before it warmed up again in TX.

Email him about it. He'll do a re-do for you. Although, I'm still waiting on a re-do myself and it's taken awhile. Yeah, same here.

Blazer looks like its to a homeless person? Yes. I kind of like them but couldn't wear that in a professional environment.

Anyone have the work shirt and how do you like it? Looks nice in pics but I'm wondering if it fits too stiff or something. Looks carboardy I have a zim and a cone chambray and wear them non stop. L Slim fits better than L Slim in the buttondowns and they get a ton of compliments.

Just ordered a custom tombstone western in 9.5 oz kaihara IxI for my brother. Also had Manny make a couple of tweaks to cover his long arms and hopefully it's a great fit.

I wouldn't knock anyone for wearing it. But keep your shirt untucked I have nothing against decorative belts per se, but that eagle belt is hideous. I find it amusingly campy. I would wear it on weekends with a giant brass jumping salmon belt buckle that I inherited from my grandad.

I found the armholes to be great on mine. Just a little looser than IH and maybe a little tighter than Gustin.

Anybody have the cone indigo canvas chinos? I believe they've run them before and that's an insane price for G chinos in a moderately interesting fabric. Oh, and for the person asking if G chinos are boxy I'd say the slims are about as slim as any man should be wearing in a traditional professional office environment.

Couple o' things: Has anyone got a few months on the n-gine material? I had a question about what to expect in terms of fades and I have no idea how to answer it (though I did just buy the workshirt in that material and I'll be perfectly happy if it never fades). Second, if any of you guys have some fade pics/action shots or anything you want to share, I was thinking it'd be good to have them on the site. Made a blog post about it too. indigogenegoods@gmail.com is the best place to send those for now. Thanks as always I have a ***less western in N-Gine with dozens of wears and zero fades.

The Kingman shirt is an amazing piece for $119. The 9.5 oz selvedge chambray is a starchy beast and the shirt just oozes handmade details like the plad binding on the armholes, double river button cuff, selvedge at the cuff and placket and beautiful stitching. Picture below with gustin Italian midnight denim, excuse my dirty closet. imgur.com/He5NMoMThe pants were a slight disappointment, just like every other duck pant I've purchased for some reason. The fabric has no play so the sizing has to be nails, which it definitely isn't. The waist is almost an inch over the sizing chart and an easy 1" small at the knee and hem along with an inch short on inseam. Quality looks good, but not quite as impressive as the shirt. I'll probably end up returning because the loose on top, tight on bottom look is exactly what I was trying to avoid with the slim straights.

New, non-selvedge fabrics. BUT WE ARE STILL ENTHUSIASTS, WE PROMISE. Emails says - "I like that fact that we’re still starting with the highest quality selvedge denim possible and adding to it. " Yeah, that was a joke. I can get washed selvedge (and even raws!) at Banana freaking Republic.

It'll be interesting if LordG uses some of it best sellers (Ok's, Heavy's,etc) to wash. Or will these be totally new denims? New, non-selvedge fabrics. BUT WE ARE STILL ENTHUSIASTS, WE PROMISE.

Just ordered the brown military pants and Kingman chambray. I have basically all the jeans a guy could ever need, but items I can wear to the office can still find a place in my wardrobe. Excited to see how these turn out.

#233 Japan Silk Slub is back. Too much nep? I have them and they're one of my favorites. Lots of neps have fallen out and it's very unique denim.

I talked myself into trying out the Itallian Western but no Talls. If I ever own a Western its gonna have to be via. CF. Slim L and Tall M are very similar in sizing. Close enough to adjust with washing and drying temps for sure. I backed the Italian western, looks like a killer shirt for $113.

Most offices consider it a success if they can get the engineers to even wear real shoes. Most offices consider it a success if they can get the engineers to even wear shoes. A couple of my younger guys wear AE boots and shoes, most wear pretty cringe worthy stuff. I've mentioned that anybody who dresses like a slob gets left out of client meetings and happy hours.

I wear canvas chinos, redwing Pecos and IR, chambray workshirts and button downs and generally toe the line of business attire suitable for engineering in Austin. I'm also the director of a department so I'm basically responsible for dressing for success without The Man telling me what to do. On Fridays without serious business meetings it's denim tuxedo time.
