I've found a few shops on Rakuten that sell them, but none have much in stock. Too bad, as a good quality pocket T like that in olive or similar khaki is just what I'm looking for..

I'm having trouble figuring out why a made in USA brand is only available through Japanese retailers. Felco is a Japanese company designed for the Japanese market, but made in the US. This fairly common actually. As you know Japanese really love American clothing and the old stuff especially. But also it is deeply part of Japanese culture to seek out the things that are the oldest and most original. For example: The oldest works of art are often considered to be the most valuable and worth copying. Copying the old works is seen as honoring that which is most honorable. So basically, to apply this to denim and athletic wear; the Japanese copy the best of the old American clothing (and improve of course), but the more connected to the authentic original items the better. So American made logically falls into this way of thinking and doing.

I'd assume that if the Japanese organisation didn't buy Felco they wouldn't be operating at all right now.
Can anybody recommend a t-shirt like Felco's pocket t-shirt? Preferably in olive/khaki green, and for nothing like as expensive as Mister Freedom or Lady White or any other $90 items out there..
