I snagged these off the marketplace (seems a little too good to be true for the price but well see) at size 8
*Only thing is I'm a 8.5 in Viberg Short Shift engineers and 8.5 in Buco's horse hide engineers, Im worried I wont be able to pull these of at a size 8
Anybody have any experience w/ sizing down on the engineers ? -
Of course I hope they work for you, but at the same time I'm watching this space . . .

I haven't seen enough brown Lofgrens in the wild, they look fantastic. Great score.
-
Very, very nice. I don't know if I could get away with engineers but if I could, the Lofgrens would be at the top of my list. Love the shape and the leather.
-
Great score @Onairda glad they worked out for you . . . well sort of glad, hahahahaha
They actually look like you could shine them up if you wanted to. Patiently awaiting more images . . .

Those boots are absolutely amazing Onairda! And for such a great price!
Also, has anyone checked out ELMC? http://www.elmc.co/shirts-c-62.html
They have some shirts done for them by John Lofgren, a few of them are basically just printless reproductions of the shirts he made for the Russell Southern line, which I thought was really cool. And the price point isn't terrible, I bought a couple for the summer. I just had no idea this was out there, and he makes probably my favorite T-shirts next to RMC, so I thought I'd share!

Indeed i saw them a while back when they launched and regularly check in to the website from time to time. Be interested to know what they are like. They also had some pretty nice looking engineers…..

Ditto gwillig on sneaks and engineers from john

For me I could (and for the sneaker, do) wear a 9 in either and am reliably, digitally and Brannock measured 9.5 D US.

Hey fellas,
Following up on my ELMC inquiry, I just got three t-shirts I ordered from them in the mail!

Mini review:
So, I guess all these t-shirts are made for ELMC by John Lofgren, I'm assuming in the same factories that make his other t-shirts/clothing articles, but that is pure conjecture. The blue shirt seems to fit pretty well, I am 5' 10" at about 10% bodyfat and 168 pounds and I went with a size 40 on all of these. I think that the measurements in the chest, shoulders, and sleeve length are all spot on for what I like and what I was expecting, although the shirts are a bit long for my taste. You can't see it in the picture, but it bunches up a lot at the bottom if I let it sit naturally and if I try to kind of even it out, it's pretty long in the body (at least to someone who prefers a more form fitting silhouette!). I think with a hot wash and a trip through the dryer though, that these tee's will all be in the perfect place fit-wise.
As far as materials go, I am a bit taken aback. The henley and ringer tees are made of a really soft medium/heavy weight cotton that is pretty similar to John's striped-t's and I thought that they felt really nice to the touch and justified the higher price paid for them. However, with the navy blue pocket tee, the cotton is fairly coarse and a bit thinner than the other two. I wouldn't call it itchy, but it's certainly one of the rougher tees that I own and is just not as comfortable as the others.
All in all, I would say that this was an 8.5 experience with John Lofgren for ELMC. ELMC's customer service was very helpful when I had a question about SagePay, and I think the product I got from them met expectations. I'm a little disappointed that it took 12 days to get to me, but that's just from me being an anxious wanker. I'm also thrown for a little bit of a loop with the blue pocket-tee but that may just be because I'm particular about my clothes! I'm sure no one short of the IH forums would have any issues and I definitely would recommend shopping with ELMC. Hope this helps anyone interested in purchasing from them!
