If this stuff can get made and delivered, I'm toast too fellas. Good news is that the local Good Will gets lots of good shirts from me - again.
So I've got my Paypal ready. I'm crossing fingers.

Questions on sizing:
1. Are the sizes on the fit guide the shirt size or the measurements from a body?
2. Are we able to ask for some tweak in the measurements when we order?
Thanks,
Vince

Thanks, Vince No tweaks that I saw. I'd like to go slim but I have a 41 chest and 34 waist so I'm not sure that a M would work and a L would have too much fabric at the waist and sleeves that are too long (I'm going to have to have the sleeves shortened on the L G Cream Slate Flannel because they come to my thumb knuckle or 1.5 in too long). |

roman the new photos look great, and really glad to see the deadstock wools up as fabric choices. the only critique i have on the current cut of both the western and work shirts is that the pockets look kind of spread out, reaching almost under the arm pits. i can't tell if it's just the photos, or if the pockets are just a bit too wide, or too far from the center placket (or a bit of both). any chances of that being tweaked to dial them back towards center again?

Same concern exactly on how the pockets look. I think a bit of both. Pockets being too wide and too far from center. I thought this earlier one looked good.  |

One thing that I noticed, having Roman model the full shirt gives perspective on the correct color of the fabric.
Being able to see it with flesh and beard and not a wood log is much easier and more tempting to back/buy it.
I realize mocking up a shirt for every fabric and having someone model it is difficult or near impossible.
But even having someone hold up a larger swatch (2' x2') to see a full size shirt pattern and see the color next to a real person (we know what skin looks like) would be helpfull.

That pic above makes the shirt look so straight & plain looking but looks like a totally different meaning good shirt on Roman in the photo below. If I were to buy it i would request to have a triple stitch on the yoke to add some extra style to the shirt instead of it just being a true western shirt . These are custom so make them your own  |

I agree the shirt looks better as far as pocket dimensions/placement in that pic. I do feel the same though as the other website pics are clear. The one you posted has the pockets covered up by the pose. I think the pic I posted would look better on him if modeled. As I said I think the pocket dimensions/placement are better. Maybe it's an illusion. Who knows? A tape measure would tell the truth.  |

Basically in the photo of just the shirt.. I imagined it would look like the 1st photo below ..compared to what it actually looks like on Roman 2nd photo below What i thought it would look like as the photo is deceiving  What it looks like on |

I like the western shirts, but I feel that I would look like the Wilford Briley guy up there ↑↑↑↑

need more shirts than denim.  Damn... more I look at them... more I want.... it is going to be problem. 6 oz. Field Green British Millerain Cloth (work shirt) 9 oz. Gray British Millerain Canvas Cloth (work shirt) 10-oz-khaki-usa-pendleton-mills-wool (work shirt) 15 oz. Niphon Menpu Brown Weft Slub Selvedge Denim (western shirt) 12 oz. Candiani Wafer Brown Weft Selvedge Denim (work shirt) 14 oz. Candiani Black Appeal Selvedge Denim (western shirt) That was my issue - I'm really liking the materials Roman's added. I am pausing on the LD ordering though as I've 8 items on order and will wait and see what needs to be tweaked for my preferences moving forward. |

Hey guys, after talking with Roman, it sounds like they are working on a couple things like gussets, and chain stitch run-off, and will be adding them shortly to the site.

When customizing a shirt on the site, why are there options for pocket liner and denim tag? Wouldn't that apply only the jeans?

Ok I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the choices (a good thing). I'd like the western in the gray Pendleton wool.
What ya think, would it look right with buttons instead of snaps? And black thread?

And black thread? i like snaps for the western style and buttons for the work shirt style...but i don't think buttons would look 'bad' on the western cut. has anyone heard or seen (calling matt ) the buttons Roman is planning to use if you opt for buttons over snaps? i shot him a note asking if he could source any cateye buttons, but haven't heard back. |

I was thinking & have asked Roman about me sourcing my own buttons. I have a shirt built that is in need of a certain color & type of button. I like these :   |

Are you not referencing the buttons tucked in button options on the workshirt here? I know for the new shirt Roman's working on, he crafted it in a 14 oz. denim with the standard denim buttons (great look). As for other buttons, we'll have to hit up Roman and see what else he has in store. I haven't had an opportunity to stop by the shop this week. |

I haven't had an opportunity to stop by the shop this week. i saw the button options on the page, but don't really have a good sense of scale. if they're sized like a traditional shirt button it will seem flimsy and out of place on a work (or western) shirt made of heavy fabric. also, we have come to know that roman seems to have things in the works that haven't yet made it to the site. wasn't giving you a task...just wondering if you had seen anything during one of your visits. |

I think work shirt buttons should be 3/8-1/2 inch in diameter especially if the fabric is more than 10 oz

On the 15oz. brown weft I ordered in the Western shirt, I went with snaps because of the heavy fabric, I didn't want them falling off from the stress of the heavyweight denim. Larger buttons should be fine though. |

I just received a workshirt from another brand using the Pendleton San Juan Blue that Roman introduced last week - it's a beautiful fabric. Not as soft as I was expecting but it's a good weight.

Not soft as in like a traditional flannel? Or stiff like a canvas? Or somewhere inbetween? Pics would be nice, if your up to it. Or what brand you got. Think this may make a nice fall yard work shirt for me. |
