Cheers, I copped the blue skivvy (I already have the white) and the neck scarf/magazine also, impressed with both of them too.

I also just noticed that Christophe's is about to drop 4 different fabrics of the same western denim shirt. Looks very very nice.
Along these lines of charming inconsistency, and because we know better than to make it simple, we have selected four different New Old Stock (NOS) rolls of 2×1 denim from our stock to get cut and sewn into Appaloosa shirts.
Similar in weight and appearance, all four denim have their own specifics and subtle differences:- Lot A: Approx 9 Oz. Random ‘snowy’ spotted appearance. No, I don’t mean 80′s acid wash, that’s next year’s collection. Rather, a slub quality due to fluctuations of the weft spun yarn gage. Blackish dark navy, white selvedge with yellow line.
- Lot C: Approx 9 Oz. Bluish shade. White selvedge ID with red line.
- Lot
Approx 8 Oz. Purplish sheen. White selvedge ID with double red line. - Lot E: Similar to Lot C but solid white selvedge ID.

Now I know you have some important questions you want to ask:
- What happened to LOT B? We’re looking for it.
- Do they shrink the same? Pretty close.
- What’s your favorite? A, C, D, E, in no particular order.

64s look great
…feck me I've been doing so good at not purchasing every item that catches my eye lately.... but I don't think I can resist that denim western.

I've just heard that the Road Champs have sold out again, and there's now between a 6-12 month waiting period.
hugs his US9.5s
I feel like I won the lottery! As I gaze fondly at my RCs sitting on the floor across the room…
Go ahead… Caress them. They're GOOD boots.

I'm considering the ranch blouse, as I have been holding out for the lefty trucker for a while desperately I'm need of a denim jacket. My old Levi type III has been on its death bed for the last year so I wear it sparingly. As the himel shows I'm not nice on jackets and the Levi gave a good fight but it is beat and completely misshapen even post wash now…. Plus I'm not a fan of the cone mills used on it.... I may look further into said ranch blouse in the very near future
-
What sleeve length do you need? I think Deluxewear's Type 1 had unusually long arms when I was looking at it a while back.

thanks for the Lot 64 details D.Thoughtful details as always. The differences from 54 are really nice.
Tat, if the arms fit on both ranch and lefty, I'd probably go lefty. It's such a different denim, and the extra weight (6oz) will help with it being a warm jacket…. Ranch Blouse is more evening wear/early Fall IMO.
-
I think i am going to holdout for the lefty… i really like how that denim looks and type IIIs are my jimmity-jammmmmm
-
Plus imo the blouse has pretty regular fitting arms…
