Jantzen, Reliable at last?

[whatsinaname]

Very nice, GS.

 

[Get Smart]

thanks for the good words.

I really do not want to start another Jantzen thread in order to ask one question, so I'll give it another shot in here in case someone knows: does anyone know if Ricky will make non-fused collars on request?

"extra light and soft" is an interlining choice you can make. not sure if this will do it for you.

Are Jantzen default collars fused? They don't seem fused to me.

GS - you really have a unique style. I could never pull it off myself, but I love the look. I imagine you and your Thick as Thieves pals arriving at some party in the LA hills and everyone turning to look as you guys saunter in the door, a la "Swingers." As a sedate married lawyer living in the burbs I will live vicariously through this image.

Damn. I remember having similar styled shirts when I was little-maybe 6 or 7. Not sure where my mommy got them. GS, where and when is this style first become popular? I really like the look. A lot of guys wear "dress" shirts casually untucked and they look quite messy with the bottom hem flying all over the place . These offer a very fashionable and dapper alternative. P.S. why do you wear your watch outside the cuff? My friend, you have missed Eric Glennie's brilliant solution to guys with large watches.

Knittieguy, yea we're pretty MONEY haha

water ...I also ask for the "extra light and soft" collar option, otherwise they come out fairly stiff and thick

Rick..I just asked for 3" buttondown collar with tall 2" collarband and the 3rd neck button

CoHo...I like my sleeve cuffs tight and this watch is really thick so it's more of a practical thing to put it over on top rather than make the shirt cuff looser on one side. I can def see the appeal Agnelli had for this affectation.

This style of shirt was popular in the 1950s, usually made from rayon gabardine. By the later 50s they introduced some other fabrics like nylon knit and orlon knits. By early 60s pure cotton ones were made, then by mid-later 60s they were 100% polyster. They were normally s/s but some l/s ones were made tho not as common. Some of the vintage brands I've had were Sir Guy, Sir Jac, Mr California, Penneys, etc

I used to "collect" shirt jacs about 10 years ago and have always like the style, for reasons you mentioned about dress shirt hems flying around and looking sloppy. This particular shirt is an almagamation of different elements I like that were never found on a single shirt.

Well, it took 12 months, but Ricky finally refunded my money for an order he never filled. If anyone else is having trouble getting a refund, I'd suggest e-mailing him several times a week. He will eventually take care of it.

You had trouble with a charge without receiving your order? I'd only heard of the opposite "problem." Unfulfilled orders, yes, but who else was charged without receiving the shirt?

GetSmart, I love the shirtjac, and admire your style altogether in fact. Would love to know what jeans are you wearing in that pic?

OK, I think I've just set some sort of Jantzen record: I sent an order on the 6th, got confirmation on the 7th, and received my shirts today. Send your orders in, folks. I'm pretty pleased with the fit, too, a few adjustments and I'll be very close to perfect next time. My only complaint is the fabric softness, but perhaps it'll get better after a few washes. I highly recommend measuring your favorite shirt and using those rather than your body measurements which can be inconsistent, I was very pleased with my results using that method.

With the recent flux in positive feedback about turnaround time, I've decided to order 1 shirt as suggested. Though out of the successful deliveries, how many are actually from repeat customers? I'm afraid that as a first customer, he'll put me on backlog until the next 6 months to a year.

I was a first-time customer.
