They're on just about every work site around here. Sunroofs, brown leather, etc.
I just have to laugh at $350 shirts being called work wear. Limited production, selling only to two vendors, etc. I don't think that's really going to appeal to the Dickies and Carhartt crowd.

Don't get me wrong, I'd never actually work in my IH gear and I'm completely aware it's crazy and silly to most but hey, I'm not normal.....then again are any of us here really normal???  |

Kind of like when a restaurant owner has a Ferrari parked in front, if I drove by a work site and everyone was wearing Iron Heart, RgT, etc, I'd probably suspect it would be out of my price range.

IH also has a fair bit of "look at me, I'm a train conductor!" vibe to it also haha.

As a Guys high end work wear wordrobe gets bigger, I can see how some very nice pieces get demoted to actual work wear.
Really, how many nice stepping out on the town shirts (HI, TS, RT, Tellason, Etc) can a guy wear.?
At some point a guy may end up with 2,3 Wabash shirts. One of them has to be used in a railway project (or something equivalent. At least around the yard).

well i'm pissed.
i've been buying the wrong fit in RgT all along.
the Expedition SKs looked like they'd work for me and they seemed to be an abnormal SK cut - gave 'em a shot and they were a great fit. i measured 'em out and started looking into the SK a bit more and began thinking it could work for me. i talked to Jay a bit at BOW and it sounded like it could be a good fit for me in the other releases so i decided to give the slubs a shot. they just came in and fit like a glove. glorious glorious fit. all the elements i love about RgT denim in an even better fit for me.
why am i pissed?
because now i have to convert all of my Stantons over to SKs.
so moral of the story...just because they're called skinny, don't discount 'em and try it out if you like a tapered leg. bentin said it right when he called the stanton a straight leg. for some reason i always thought it was a slim taper.

So... you want to unload some Stantons? |

Post by bentin on Sept 10, 2015 21:28:04 GMT -6
Yeah, the Stantons have very little taper from the knee down, the SK's have slim taper, certainly not what I'd call skinny. Selling your Kibata???

hahahaha, hadn't crossed that bridge yet but if you're a 33 or 34...
Stanton - Dark — 33 (~24 wears medium fading)
Stanton - Stealth — 33 (new)
Stanton - 14.5oz — 33 (1 wear)
Stanton - Slub — 34 (~12 wears light fading)
Stanton - Over-Dyed Indigo — 34 (new)
Stanton - 11oz — 34 (2 wears)
Strider - 13oz — 34 (1 wear)
might hold on to the over-dyed because of the shrinkage during dying.

Is the stealth sanforized? Will it shrink with a wash? |

yeah, the Expedition is the only unsanf RgT release.
the Stealth has that sulfur dye which makes for a tight weave - i know there will be some shrink with a hot wash but it won't be as dramatic as unsanf.

Is the stealth sanforized? Will it shrink with a wash? RgT glamor sizes two inches. So a 33 is a 35(and a little) and a 34 is a true 36. |
