Mine says "Processing…" on SE, and I ordered the bitch Saturday afternoon, sure hope it's shipped. I'd love to have it for my vacation to Denver this week

I want to point out, since there is some question to why this shirt is so expensive, that there are details in the shirt, sewing techniques, folds, and other crazy shit, that to someone who sews, blows their fucking mind. I only hope that in five years, which is roughly what roy has been sewing, that I am this good. And every sewing technique, machine used, measurement, stitch, is sewn by one man. Most factory sewers do one thing all day. If you run a felling machine that is what you do all day. Roy buys, learns, maybe restores, and masters every sewing machine it takes to produce garments, and then….... Produces unreal garments. Is this shirt as tough as iron heart, no, But its details are only what you get from a master sewer, not a factory. One dude and his machines, does it get much more badass, I don't think so.

Roy stuff is cool but I feel like is too hyped up….I can't believe that many people bought this shirt in the first two days
-
Yes, my feelings too. I like how passionate he is, but cannot get the hype, especially regarding the jeans (I really dislike Cone Denim, even if it's a special one). Nice to hear that the details and the sewing make a difference, but it's not enough for me to get some Roy stuff. Sorry.

Got the Portland. Love it except for one thing: the neck is too small should I ever want to button up all the way. I am not really a fan of that look anyway but I love the dimensions otherwise and thus wouldn't want to exchange for an upsize.
Fabric feels like a soft Oxford, looks really cool in person. Like how it drapes as well.
-
Thanks. Damn well better, for the cheddar
-
Thanks BG–that's how I talked myself into it. I doubt I'll get another one unless he does some kind of crazy Western, but I love this one and will cherish it until some asshole ashes a cigarette on it
-
Even though I never do that top button deal, it's a little bit of a turnoff, for a shirt so otherwise immaculate. It buttons, but it feels like I'm being lightly choked. He needs to use a block that has a non-turkeyneck on it. I am by no means bull necked and don't have to order bespoke shirts to fit my neck through them.
-
Ha thanks. I do work out but it's hard to tell unfortunately
I emailed Roy and told him his block is too small on the neck for some people and he was very gracious. I was not complaining, just providing data points.

Yeah I didn't notice in that second picture that the selvage is the under layer of a double placket; had to see it in person to grok that. Lots of little details. Inner cuff stitch is in a different color yarn; as you mention the buttons are cool. And despite its apparent fragility, the fabric is cool. Perfect for summer.
