I would also do a grey with rivets instead of buttons Snaps? Or do you plan on being buried in it? The riveting process is hell on the abs and chest, you need to complete the Arnold blueprint at least five times before you attempt the permanent rivet shirt. |

Donut buttons like on a jacket I'm not a fan of shank buttons on shirts, one good square tap from a box or something and you end up with welts.  |

I'm late to this party, what's up with sizing? The small after shrinkage is the same as a slim Large gustin shirt.

Ciano's regular jacket (and now shirt) sizing is notoriously huge, for beefy Texan farmers and the like. His slim fit is more what we'd consider normal, but until that comes, I don't suppose the label matters as long as the sizing works.

Just backed it, ordered a Medium, I'm a large in Gustin so it should be perfect. Made a special note on the smaller gussets. Can finally go full Canadian Tuxedo. Hope the ball gets rolling on these, I'd love to see some more workman shirts in the wools.

I used to have a few Levi red tab shirts back in the day with shanks, and decided they didn't do anything for me. |

Off topic, but I just noticed this vest on Ciano's site. Apologies if I'm late to the party. It's a great price and looks like a decent, basic bit of kit, but I'd be interested to see if there's a choice of Selvedge fabrics. I'd like two chest pockets, though. And I wonder what the wait time is now. Sounds about 4 months. |

I had Ciano create this vest for me, custom details, etc. I haven't received it yet, it's in the cargo hold of a plane. |

cianofarmer How are the shirt sales coming along? I have no denim shirts and would like one. But was hoping/looking for a darker denim. But may help the cause just to get to that Wool fabric you may have coming. well the shirt sales suck!!!!!!!!!!!!. i really need to get this off the ground so i can offer up shirts better than IH at third of the price. we only have 6 order on the current shirt..so far..AUGH...... so we wil make the side gusset smaller. and i can offer up the following for a darker indigo 15oz Japanese Kuroki Mills Dark indigo  and a grey 14oz Japanese Kuroki Mills  we are working on the western style ..but i need to get the first work shirt in production before i can get the western shirt going. here are the options for the western shirt fabrics for the second launch in plaids..i know the heavy weight is what you want.. but we will do a 14oz BLACK/BLACK selvage also. BUT HERE ARE THE OPTIONS FOR THE WESTERN SHIRT PALIDS FOR THE SECOND LAUNCH 16oz British Millerain plaid 
14oz plaid Pendleton Woolen  japanese 13oz plai 
i just need 30 pcs on the work shirt first..to launch this program. If i can not get this started then i am "dead in the water" remember 4-6 weeks deliver on these shirts.... i would love the feed back and the support to get this started...so i can give all of you the shirts you want for third of the price..$$$$$ Cheers Ciano Just my two cents here cianofarmer but if you're goal is to make shirts better than IH but at a third of the price then you're going to have to find much more interesting and high quality fabrics than the fairly standard, run of the mill Pacific Blue type fabrics. |

Just my two cents here cianofarmer but if you're goal is to make shirts better than IH but at a third of the price then you're going to have to find much more interesting and high quality fabrics than the fairly standard, run of the mill Pacific Blue type fabrics. I agree, and it may be that the work shirt was the wrong choice to start with, as I'm sensing more people would be interested in a western, myself included. Having said that, getting one fabric and style that 30 people here would be prepared to spend money on seems to be a problem. You've said $95 which is a great price, but if the fabric's not popular, then the low price is irrelevant. If you were to offer fabric options at say a $20 or so supplement, then you might get more takers. For the record, I'd jump on a natural coloured Selvedge western, as no one else can provide that, but a grey or herringbone would be a possibility for me. |

I would love a Ciano shirt but atm Im moving so cant afford anything at all so the timing is incredible awful for me. Number two is that I have many blue denim/indigo shirts and I really don't need anotherone right now especially at low funds.
What was the problem of offering more choices of fabric again?

Have plenty of work shirts, and too many blue denim / chambray shirts. Another blue work shirt is a tough sell, at least for me. Ciano, I'd definitely be in on a western shirt with an interesting fabric. |

Agree with you guys, some wool options or a brown would be awesome. This is my first denim shirt so totally fine with cone mills but I know most of this group has a few at this point. This market is not the average joe but people who have been into denim for sometime.

I second the Western.
And I think the idea of just making quality flannels would be a nice starting point.
I'd like some flannels with decent weight to them, wouldn't have to be super heavy. I feel like so many flannels offered these days are more like dress shirts than warm shirts.

I think a 10-12oz flannel, especially in a Western, would be a good seller, but apparently heavier weight flannels are not easy to come by, from the lack of offerings out there. I'd certainly want one. I'm in the group that has plenty of blue denim shirts, and looking for other fabrics.

Just to echo what's been said. I would buy a dark indigo western shirt in a flash. I would also get on some heavy duty flannel. The current work shirt doesn't appeal to me. I had 3 Lawless shirts on order plus a couple pair of jeans. I don't care about the jeans, but really wanted the shirts. I'm a 48-50". This means I cannot buy IH,Flat Head etc etc shirts. It's very frustrating. I'm not keen on spending $250plus on a shirt, but in the end I probably would as they are really stunning. Make a 48-50" western and some heavy flannel, and I would be all over it like a pit bull on a poodle.
why don't you scrap the work shirt and start again? I would be putting a poll on here asking what the guys want, and then building that. Gaurenteed sales, and it's nice an collaborative, everyone wins.

There seems to be more genuine widespread interest in westerns, assuming interesting fabrics on offer. Maybe that could be the SS anniversary purchase, and we don't need to even think of a logo. cianofarmer, like 98superglide says, how about a poll for a western with fabric options? The only thing is I guess you'd need about 4 fabrics to finally run with, as you'd never get agreement on just one. Please, please, please do one in that 1772 natural Selvedge LD offering it was the closest I came, but at least I got a refund. I just feel that a light shade is the only thing really missing from my wardrobe now. |

Workshirts don't work very well for me, nor do I like the look much. |
