My question to Manny is, can you do trucker jackets? If so, can you do a type 3, what fabrics can you get and what would it cost? I know you nerds want one There's a lot of options out there for truckers. At this point I'm waiting to find a beat to shit vintage that I like. I have two beat to shit vintage Levis. Want one? About to sell them. |

I just got quoted 190 + shipping for that blackwatch shirt. is that right? That's really expensive... Yeah, it's a steep price for a shirt. But it's more like a jacket or a CPO. There's a few alternatives in this heavy of a Wool but those are also $200+. |

LD did sell them for $35, but there was nooooooo way to deliver them at that cost. Lol $35...I remember when we were told that these were the at cost prices and that every other company was ripping us off. How delusional they were.. |

TY bud, The back pocket flaps need to relax a bit but no kidding he hit the nail right on the head with these. I told him what I wanted and even took him to a thrift shop to show him a few vintage pants i liked. The fit is spot on with the front rise being done to perfection. Look at how perfect the front rise sits |

Not pictured are 2 back waist adjusters so you can make the waist tighter. I think he is gonna offer these by the way. He made a 2nd pair in the Candiani herringbone by the way which look great

We compared it to my Lawless era shirt, which did not have the extra panel. Some of the lawless shirts did and some didn't. The Arlington CPO had one seam (I've got the one I got and the one I bought from brentkuz . I opted out of their western and work shirt styles due to the additional seam. You might ask @jeanmakernif he has both patterns around, but I'm sure he could do a single seam if asked. |

See, that's the odd part. Mine is a western style with one seam. Maybe due to the fabric; it has the Pendleton "San Juan Blue" material, which is relatively thin.

I believe the black watch fabric runs around $30 a yard as does the 23 oz indigo and black selvedge denim that made its way into the market recently

I've been saying for over a year now that someone needs to make some military-style denim pants (Aside from MFSC). These look AMAZING |

Manny is doing a GREAT job, and making some GREAT pieces... It feels good seeing what should have/could have been done with the brand we shall not speak of.
If he keeps up this good pace and stays consistent with quality, I expect BIG things from this brand.
Buenas suerte, Manny

Just noticed MFSC is using fabric Pacific Blue sells. The Cone white/cream with red , white and blue selvedge id just got released . There are a few others that look familiar as well

If Manny can find fabric like this I would have him make me a pair of these in the same cut as well. By the way these are made by Orslow. Engineered Garments also makes a great pair as well  |

Yes better in OD. A OD fine heringbone with more triangular button back pocket covers would make it perfect.
Hope Manny offers that vest too.

indigogene do you by chance have any natural denim fabric on hand? One of my favorite pairs was the Naturals by G.

Dirty_Denim, it certainly looks like my G naturals. I think it looks good as a shirt and is unusual enough to be a nice alternative to the usual suspects. I'd want a western with snaps though, and if I remember right the LD snaps were considered too small and weak by some.

I'd love to have both. As a western shirt and as pair of denim pants. Wouldn't rock both at the same time of course, probably.
