BTW, how do you like the Tonkinoise? I've been drooling over the chambray version for some time now. My problem is that I've promised my wife that I'd stick to a strict clothing budget since we are traveling a bit this year. So I'm between the metisse sportsman (I'd fit into a medium which is in stock) or the chambray tonkinoise. Both are great shirts and seem pretty versatile. Any opinion on either?
The tonkinoise is a great shirt. I'm a big fan of the Buzz Rickson's chambray fabric and the metisse fabric. It's probably better to travel while you can though
-
I have both, love them both. But… between the two, the metis is a notch ahead in my mind mainly because of the fabric - it is aging and evolving to be something really special. Looking back, I kind of wish I'd gone for the Tonkinoise in denim (same one as This Sunday) as the pics I've seen really impress. The chambray fabric is a very light weight, more of a warm-season piece. Which I need, really. I've worn both of these shirts a lot, but the metis is a real standout...

Thanks guys, I'll probably snag that Matisse sooner than later. We are going to Vancouver and taking a cruise to Alaska. Should be a blast [emoji1]

7161md@UnTucked if that signal vest you saw is still out there - you should grab it - this thing is the nuts…

Lol I don't wear the same thing enough to justify 1000 on a pair of boots. I do like them tho and am jealous of the people that have them!

I totally understand - though I'm a true believer - I've got the brown and on wait list for black…. yes for sure the price is nuts. If I was smart (apparently I'm not) I'd be looking to jump on Role Club (Brian the Bootmaker) - I'd really love to inspect a pair of his boots in-person - Brian is a boot savant - he resoled my Champs.

Brian is indeed a master. I have the Brown Horse Role Clubs and they might just be my favorite piece of gear (I'll throw a pic in the appropriate thread tomorrow, with light). They are amazing. If anyone is in the market for an engineer, Role Club is the first place I would go; especially, if Brian can size you in person. I have a feeling his work will only get more sought-after as time goes on. It won't be long before he turns his attention entirely to Role Club, and leaves repairs for apprentices.
Great stuff on this page, too, gentleman. It's crazy how CL consistently releases items that slowly grow on you over time.

I let it go because the timing was bad… I had JUST purchased my CDO. I will be far less aggressive in my fashion spending this year, so if/when another becomes available in size medium, I will be ready.

Broke out the OG Ranch Blouse again today. Love this thing, but I'm afraid it is getting a bit too small in my "larger" state lol
Until I can't move my shoulders, I'll keep rocking it!
