Might have helped if I said I wear a slim XL Gustin shirt.

thanks bentin, looks like I would be a Large then. I fit into the Classic XL in G as well, and I backed the Large F&T. |

Dammit, passed on the blue twill but can't resist the red one.

Dammit, passed on the blue twill but can't resist the red one. Yeah, it does look pretty nice. Is it the same weight as the Blue or is it lighter? |

They seem to have hired a G product writer for this one. It's a Twill on the item description but they call it a flannel throughout the detailed description. I'll check and see if they have the weight. |

Ratio has the same material and lists it as 40's twill. Should that mean something to me? www.ratioclothing.com/products/pikes-peak-plaidI really wish Ratio offered a two pocket option on their heavier materials. I like my dress shirts with no pockets but casual/untucked shirts with two. |

Those Twill pants F and T just dropped actually look pretty decent.

Not sure about the poly content. They probably look better for it, but I'd live in fear of getting roped into one of those motivational fire walks and having my pants melt to my twig and berries.

I like the poly content. Leads me to believe they will feel more like a Dickies work pant than a Dockers Khaki, which is what I would want.

Dammit. How much money have you cost this poor, poor forum? Off to order plastic pants...

Those pants look a lot like my old school made in USA redcaps. Same kind of blended twill. I love them and am always looking for more. A drawback for some, RC recommends pressing (don't know about FT) and they need it. After washing they are a mess but hold a press for many wearings. I would back these but no more prepays for me until I get my LD orders in hand.

I love the blue tackers on those, I just have an aversion to the color (worked at Best Buy for too long). I'm totally in for something darker, though, hopefully this is like the twill release and there's another color coming in the next couple weeks.

Ratio offers it too, year round. I don't like it, but it's certainly easy to find with a straight placket and aligned pattern.
The black denim shirt F&T has is more appealing to me than the TS one, I think because I can't get passed the mondo TS buttons. I prefer their collar, but really don't like either enough to buy one.

Anyone try out their hoodies? I'm considering getting their ten year pull over in Slate Grey |

Anyone try out their hoodies? I'm considering getting their ten year pull over in Slate GreyI have two of their 10-Year hoodies from KS. They're well made and functional, but I don't find them all that stylish. If you're just looking for something to throw on to walk the dog or something, they'll do fine. I'm eyeing American Giant for my next hoodie. |

I haven't tried their hoodies. Their zip hoodie is 80% cotton while the new pullovers are 50%. I like that grey one, I don't need it, but may fund it. I've ordered just about everything non denim F&T have released this year.
Im trying to fund a pair of Alden 703's, I should really hunker down and focus on those.

Taylor Stitch is all cotton, cheaper and 8.5oz vs 18oz and a cotton/poly blend like the F&T. Both look good, but the F&T should be significantly warmer.

Those look really close in coloring to the Gustin Italy Blue Black. I will say be careful though, and ask for a fit chart (or better yet, actual measurements). My 34 waist denim from flint and tinder came in somewhere around 36-37, and after a wash still fall off. |
