Houndstooth, Plaids, Checks, can't afford FH

[chronoaug]

I love ebay for shirt options. Especially when there are tons of ebay "vintage"(whatever their definition of vintage is) stores with measurements. Plenty of deals to be had for those willing to sort through a bunch of entries.

E seems to have shortened the length of their western shirts over the last few years and they fit even better now but I don't like the detailing now, it lost some of the classic western shirt look. Also, for anyone wondering I didn't see them on their website but they have extra small pearl snaps available in their stores that are very very slim. I've gotten fed up trying to find decent vintage ones and bought one for work the other day.

Nice. They generally have one or two variations of western shirts every year. Superb fit. The model above definitely is sizing up for comfort...

Sweeet, I called cusomter service and apparently if the order is under $25 and in Canada, they refund the money and let you keep the item

I just found this shirt linked from another site and it looks like another decent low cost alternative at $20:

I think it's required to say that every time someone brings them up... they seriously need an ad campaign or something.

J, do you know what is their sizing is like? I think I am going to order that shirt and a couple cardigans from their site.

*******, I will just go to their store. Do they all have mens stuff?

No clue on either count, but...

My girlfriend shops there and not all of them have a men's section. Only the bigger forever 21 stores have them. The sizing is all over the place though. Not the best quality control either. Some items just fit oddly. I needed a hoodie in size small, a tshirt in small, a button down in medium and a polo was in between medium and large. I only tried stuff on once because that store was huge and my girlfriend was in there forever. I think i bought a polo that actually kinda looks like a dior homme one from a season or two ago. It fits a bit big on me but i remember the medium being a bit tight or something. My girlfriend liked the way it looked so i had to buy it plus it was only 10-15$ so whatever.

I've never seen any of the interesting pieces that's online in store though. Maybe because it's florida. All they had was ugly tshirts, polos and button downs. I admit, if they had some of the online stuff instore, i might buy something as i usually have 45 minutes to an hour to kill whenever i'm there as my girlfriend tries things on and then asks for outfit approval. Sigh......

I'm kind of spamming the board here, but we just came out with a linen houndstooth button up that is a good deal less than fh. It isn't western, it is more classic...

 

[j]

That's awesome... do you have red and white?

 

[michaeljkrell]

We can do a red and white linen, it just won't be houndstooth, but it is has a very interesting pattern to it...

Let's see some pics, we don't get nearly enough [non-denim] fabric Appreciation on this side of the forum.

BTW, you should post your WAYWT pics in the MC thread as well, you'd get some interest in that shirt and probably some of the other stuff as well.
