I’m a sucker for a chambray shirt. Picked up this workshirt at a vintage market today. Not sure when they stopped putting the tag on the front but I like it. I own the western version and been eyeing this one for a bit now. Gently worn and a good price.

[Matt]

I believe that tag was sometime around the 10 yr forum anni but I could be wrong. Excellent score!

[Matt]

Or maybe the regular 10 year anni. They say memory is the 2nd thing to go.

[Anesthetist]

Around 2012/2013 i think

[indigogera]

@Matt eyesight might be up there in things to go. I completely missed reading 10th Anniversary on the tag. Haha

As an aside, what an absolutely brilliant tag-line.....

[tody]

yup, that is good comparison. always wanted to try Kroil, as it supposedly has superior penetrating characteristics. bummer you can't get the aerosol cans in Europe. I use heat most of the time in the garage, though.

[Giles]

Yeah, heat not an option with lots of GRP about

One of the artists I collect (Peter Manion) kindly gifted me with these two. I’m trying to decide whether to mount them together or frame seperately.

More of his pieces for reference:

@Anesthetist Very cool. And I like the pieces you already have.

[Giles]

I may be too simple for conundrums of this magnitude, But I would only separate them if "terrible:" was the last word of the first part. Then they can stand alone as two separate messages.....

[sabergirl]

I kind of like how disjointed it is if you separate. Like “I’m going to tell you a story of something. Really.”

Then comes “Terrible. But first let me get a drink and a smoke.”

If they’re next to each other it can be a unified story. Or not. Gives flexibility.

[Nik]

Could be fun if hung near but not next to each other so that there is a slight pause as the eye goes from one to the other.

[SKT]

I’ll echo what Nik said. Makes it more interesting this way.

It’s a gem for sure.
What ended up on the hanger??

[Matt]

@Bigdog IHSH-123 indigo hickory hickory western.

[Anesthetist]

Great shirt that 123!

I talked to the artist and will see what kind of bids he can get for the framing. Free art. $1000 frame job

Thank you guys and gals for the input, I think it will largely depend on me measuring out my wall space to really nail it down.

[Matt]

@Anesthetist did the artist have a suggestion?
