Dec 10, 2007 · Chamois shirts sell for more, are usually solid in color and are sometimes thicker than shirts labeled as flannel. I suspect at the end of the packing line somewhere in asia, boxes labeled flannel go to low end stores that sell to construction workers and boxes labeled chamois, go to high end stores. Same shirt in many cases.

Aug 4, 2010 · An L.L. Bean classic. Introduced in 1927 as the "Leatherette Shirt", a wind-resistant lightweight alternative to buckskin, renamed "Chamois Cloth" for the Spring 1933 catalog, in, I imagine, the original color, Tan. (1960) By 1960, another color had crept in - …

Oct 24, 2015 · So at the end of last winter (February-ish), I decided to branch out and purchase my first chamois shirt from them- this beautiful apple cinnamon plaid that screams "fall": the shirt is amazing. I was advised prior to ordering the shirt to order a size down (because the shirt was a bit larger) so I ordered a small.

Jan 8, 2015 · The Bean chamois was introduced, I think, in the early 1930's and has never had a button-down collar. That means that it did not have a button-down collar during the heyday of the Ivy League look.

Aug 21, 2007 · my impression that moleskins are thick and soft, very much like an LL Bean chamois cloth cotton shirt, suitable as a dressier pair of pants for wide-wale corduroy weather (please correct me if this is wrong). Bill's Chamois Cloth, however seems to be a thinner material than what is used on regular Bill's Khakis (8.5-oz twill versus 6+oz twill).

This year though, I would've had to purchase a large-xl to get the sleeves long enough, but the torso would've been massive on me (I wear a 34.5" sleeve/38 ...

Jun 25, 2016 · Then say to Ms. Porter what you said in your initial post, and ask her if she could please research this matter at her convenience. (Perhaps she can review old Bean catalogues and, based on the product descriptions therein of the chamois cloth shirt, deduce approximately the year and season the chamois cloth shirt underwent the switcheroo.)

Mar 13, 2015 · Just checked, my chamois shirt is from El Salvador. Fwiw, I also noticed that all my regular flannel shirts from LLB are El Salvador as well. ive only worn and washed mine once, so I don't have a long term perspective, but I haven't noticed any quality issues

Jul 25, 2014 · Is the reverse chamois waxed/hot-stuffed? I'm about to get rid of my pebbled AWW's (never wore them because of a barrie-sized sizing mistake - apparently sizing down both width and length doesnt work!), and looking to get a new pair of AWW.
