Re: Indy Shirt - Best option these days

How is the sizing of your ready made shirt? Is it more on the loose sized or a slimmer fit?

I'm about to place an order :)

Thanks!

Re: New Herbert Johnson!

Yeah man :) I'm one of the few who is not afraid to speak up, probably you don't know what his "floating sweatband" is because you're not used to own high quality hats, I'll tell you what it is, the sweatband sticks out of the hat body, which is terribly wrong.
