A place to share photos , and anything else you wish to share about your favorite garment .     My favorite garment is a really cheap t shirt I bought at a st Vincent de Paul thrift in Oklahoma City. The thrift was between a strip club and a bar in a really dive-y part of town. The lady was so excited to have a customer she handed me a paper grocery bag and said ‘ anything you can fit in this bag for $5’ to which I replied ‘anything?’ I believe I left with 3-4 pairs of beat to hell levis 517s some loafers , a ton of tee shirts , et cetera. It’s all I have left of that experience , this shirt. I love it . It’s un fussy , it fits , and it was about 60 cents if my math is correct. How about yourself , What’s your single favorite garment ?? |

Great thread idea, Bob! My favorite is this Flat Head shirt. I prefer to wear leather jackets, but as much as I love my current leather jacket collection, all of them could be replaced if needed. This shirt, however, is priceless to me. It fits perfectly as a 'summer jacket' over a t shirt because it is designed to be untucked and therefore is not too long and has a flat hem. The fabric is an incredible dobby loom fabric with greys, reds, whites, and a bit of orange to create my all time favorite shirt fabric. I wish I had bought an extra of this one because I wear it so much that I'm sure I'll destroy it eventually, but I absolutely adore it.   |

Anything made under my brand naturally, especially the Atlas shirts.  But seriously speaking, I can find fault in those two and there are things I'd change on a second run.Leaving my brand aside...my Freewheelers 1943s are pretty great. And so is all my Lofgren footwear. Hard to pick just one thing. Perhaps it would be the Freewheelers jeans. ------------- https://www.instagram.com/ritestuff_bryan/" rel="nofollow - IG: ritestuff_bryan |

Possibly my Alfred Sargent Dumfries boots (dark tan brogues, when the triple leather sole wore down, I replaced it with a commando sole). ------------- Helixing my inner beanie |

Tough choice for me, but probably my Roy test lot jeans. Worn and washed a bunch, no sign of any threads breaking and they fit prefectly.

  I bought it from this nice lady whose uncle was the original owner. A kind of rebellious but lovable figure, he was also a keen amateur painter in his day. In the 70s he gave the jacket to his little brother, who in turn added a bunch of studs to make it his own. I can't say I wear it often, but I really like how it looks and I like the story behind it. |

Lovely idea for a thread. With quite a bit of a margin I'd say it's my vintage 507XX. Always adored the style but never thought I'd be able to find/afford one in my size. With a lot of luck I found one for cheap here in Gothenburg. Was dead certain it was a repro before I checked it more thoroughly.   ------------- http://instagram.com/indigovein |

For me it's my Sugarcane 11Mj I'm not blessed with a particularly large income so will always try to get a bargain or buy used, but when I saw this I just had to have it at full ticket price. I think I was signed off work with a Pneumothorax at the time and needed a purchase to cheer me up. I wear it quite rarely as the fit is perfect and i'm terrified of getting it grubby and requiring a wash. I should probably just bite the bullet and put some proper miles on it.  ------------- www.sidewinderapparel.co.uk |

My favorite garment is this Stevedore shirt I bought in 2009 from the now defunct CXXVI. IT was at the most expensive article of clothing I had ever bought (I think it was $125?) which seemed insane to me as I primarily thrifted my clothes. I see now that it was worth every penny, and it taught me the importance of quality over price in a tangible way After more than 10 years it has really held up, although it is getting pretty threadbare in a couple places. I've done all the repairs on it myself, mostly to the area around the bottom left hem and when a button pops off. It's been by far the best article of clothing I have ever had and dread the day it finally disintegrates in my hands after one too many days on the job.  |
