Gotta get that corduroy… the shirring combined with dat fabric really is gorgeous, reminds me of the curtains at an old fashioned theatre.

Is that a clamshell stitch like on the Roy pants? Very cool detail!

Simon, is the red cord shirt going to be an extant item? I want a medium but need to give my bank account a month or two to cool off. Beautiful stuff you are producing, and being from St. Louis, the home of Chuck Berry I need that shirt!

[simonc]

Hey Anethetist yes the cord shirt is going to be extinct very soon, in fact.  Yes the clam stitching is from an ancient machine, here's some more clam detail stitching on the 14oz Navy chino's going in, thanks for the support, I appreciate it.

Looks amazing. Also seems I need to get some things on the chopping block ASAP.

18oz raw SJC Bilt Tough Dungarees pressed and ready to ship, fit pics to follow.

Denim work shirt.

[Anesthetist]

Looks great, especially with those MF chinos!

[mclaincausey]

Thanks! I am happy to have some pants that work well with a couple of my more vintag-y work shirts, since I usually am a snap shirt, jeans, and boots guy. This lets me do a little dressier look but not boring biz casual when I'm trying to impress (or trick) people at work.

18oz raw (one wash) SJC work pants just landed and they are fucking badass. 
Note there is only a 100 meters of this dark stuff so first in best dressed so to speak.
