You're actually going to ship that shirt off??  Stinks for you lol!!

Photos seem to load quickly for me??  And they seem to be about the right size?

@trail:

and so it begins!

Shirt looks like it was made to fit you!!!

Too bad that shirt is too big for me.  Then again, I have quite a few Schmidt shirts ….. including a few warm weather ones.  Should take a group photo at some point

Newest Schmidt.  Selvedge chambray.  World's finest shirt??   

I could be wrong, but I think I sent Jan that selvedge denim fabric.  Is the selvedge pink?  If so, I have a shirt from the same fabric.    I love it.  It will wear/wash really well.

^^  Great looking shirt!!  Is that a chambray or denim?  I have a similar shirt, but with buttons Jan made for me out of 8oz Kuroki denim fabric.  I love it!!

Newest shirt on the way!!  This shirt is an 11oz Cone Overdyed Indigo/Black.  White selvedge.  Unique Schmidt pocket design and collar button.  Can't wait to get it in….

Some progress pics and finish pics.  After one wash, Jan mentioned that the shirt is a very deep blue.

Enjoy!!

Some better pics of my newest Schmidt shirt and some cool progress pics.   

My newest shirt from Jan.  Just awesome detailing and a perfect fit that only a custom shirt can provide.  Usual bag of goodies with fabric and extra buttons and a nice surprise ultra cool key chain.  8oz Kuroki raw denim that is super soft and comfortable.

Woe is me, just contacted Herr Schmidt about a herringbone Western and the fabric is no more (well, enough left for him to make himself a shirt ).  Though he said given sufficient interest he could try to get some more.  nudge nudge (Hint: his email is on his Web site mentioned in this thread's original post).

More fabric is a possibility.  What would you get?  A one pocket worker style, or something different?  That's the other cool aspect of a Schmidt shirt.  You can get whatever you want.  One pocket or two, or button down or snaps etc…..  Yokes.  Different colored stitching.  High quality buttons etc....

I personally really dig what Jan came up with on my shirt.  Two non-flap pockets with perpendicular striped placement.

So what buttons should I use??  I'm thinking the hour glass MOPs look really cool!!  Not sure if I like the metal jacket style buttons.

This fabric in raw form is quite stiff.  Possibly due to the extra stitching.  From pure feel alone, I would have guessed the fabric to be closer to 12oz selvedge.  I just hope I can justify wearing it enough to get some blue/brown evolve.  Going to be hard since I'll soon have a closet full of Schmidt shirts to choose from.

And yes, Jan can hide the label on the inside hem or underneath the flap of the pocket if you don't like it.

@mclaincausey:

Yes indeed. Somehow I think it'd be cleaner sans tag but that's a crazy great shirt.

No way.  I have a shirt without the Schmidt tag and I'm thinking of sending it back to Germany for Jan to brand it loud and proud 

@tmg:

Wow, that herringbone shirt looks amazing! Short or long sleeve?

Long sleeve.  Here's a closeup of the weave on the fabric:

And a summer ready bamboo casual shirt …... ready for the beach and on it's way here to Jersey!!  Where can I get a nice pair of white linen shorts?? 

Newest shirt in progress.  9.3oz Japanese herringbone red/brown selvedge fabric.  Check out the red selvedge pocket detailing 

Evo pic of the fabric:

And I guess there's always the button choice decision??  I'm thinking the hour glass buttons are really cool!!

@MikeC:

I love how the bag to the airplane shit is reversed. Sick shit Jan!!!

Check this out!!  The pocket on my shirt.  Insane!!

One last pic for the day.  My growing collection of Schmidt Baggies 

@Seul:

I need a Schmidt shirt… Jan: can you make me a western wabash shirt??? Sizing would be easy: same as my IHSH-07... 

That's the beauty of my Schmidt shirts.  They fit better than any of my shirts…...including my IH shirts.  Jan is so utterly precise he test shrinks the fabrics and factors that into the fit of the shirt!!!!

I have one more on order and then I want one of these:

and one of these:

And some pics of my first shirt from Jan.  Made from a very cool tan organic fair trade 6.5oz fabric.  Super comfortable shirt.  Part of Jan's "Poor Man's Western" series.

My Schmidt shirts are without a doubt my favorite shirts in my closet.  Absolutely too cool, completely custom and Jan is great deal with.  And each shirt has been delivered with a small custom mini tote bag, extra snaps and buttons.  Best finishing I've seen on a shirt.  Couple of quick pics of two of my shirts.
