I have a question for you guys who like the look, and traditional brands like Woolrich and Filson - do you ever have fit problems, or find that they run too big? I ask because I have a mountain sports shop where we've sold those brands for years, and I'm trying to rethink our merchandising concept to foreground our American heritage lines, and I often get that comment from (primarily) young men - any thoughts?

Smith+Butler in Brooklyn has been doing this type of theme (mostly American made goods) for about a year - so its a perfect sister store to them on the left coast. Keep up the good fight. Excited to stop in soon. The shop looks great!

This was on one of the many days in which I am not working. I admired the $300 blue jeans and the $175 sweatshirts. There was not one other person in the vast space. There is a new workingman ethic in clothing that you have well documented. The only problem is that there are not enough working men to buy these clothes. I went to Craft, here in Los Angeles.

Ultimately the Americana look is not just big here it is big all over the world now. Think in the overall culture (here) there is a want/need for things that are well made, authentic, and true. Things that defy "fashion" for lack of a better term. Things that last or at least give the impression of lasting. Being that my current stop in my world tour is Milwaukee I can assure you people here would not get this, you gotta remember they can buy Redwings at Farm and Fleet, but that is no less a celebration of the fact that the brands mentioned above are appreciated by a wide audience and are still used for their original intent-to do hard work.
