H&M Indy style shirt

Post by Rosenet »

I was at H&M last weekend and saw that they have a line of Indyesque shirts that come in both long sleeve and short sleeve, and in several colors. H&M's website suxxors, however, so no pics or online ordering. I'd have bought one except H&M bases their sizes on very tiny people. I usually wear large shirts, but even the H&M xls were too small for me and they don't make anything larger then an XL. Which is a bummer since the shirt is made out of a very light cotton and would make a good summer shirt.

So...if you usually wear a medium or smaller and live near an H&M, check it out. <grin>

What's H&M? It's not ringing any bells.

Thanks.

There's one in Boston near the Jewelery Building on Washington Street and one in the Cambridgeside Galleria. Mostly they have clothes for a, how shall I say..? different demographic. Things like, skin tight faded jeans and black skin-tight shiny T-shirts. I am amazed that they would have an Indy shirt, or anything in that style.

Of course, without a picture, this thread is all academic.

We have at least three H&M's in Manhattan. I would be very surprised to see an Indy styled shirt there. Knowing H&M style stuff, it is probably 'fabulous'! :lol:
I'll try to check it out and report back.

There's no pejorative there, just different.

I bought a nice Indy-ish shirt at H&M in the early 90's. IIRC, it had a good screen-accurate-ish color, double breast pockets and no epaulets (and no pleats either, obviously), so as a pre-Internet gearhead, I was happy with it.

Ahhh, well there you go... I have NO reason to venture near Cambridgeside now that Lechmere is gone and the closest I ever get now 'days to downtown crossing is 2 levels underground on the train...

And I guess I'm just not in their demo... go figure! :-k

Fantastic! Firstly, there area couple of H&M shops near me, and secondly, I am of a small size - you may have heard that I had to shrink down my small Wested shirt... :oops: :roll:

BTW, how accurate is the shirt and does it have epulates?

*Phew* I started worrying about copies, like ICEA and Vlovvo alongside with ZAAB and AEBBAE. 8)

The details on the H&M shirts.

-Epaulets.
-Two front pockets with a stripe of fabric on the pocket like an authentic Indy shirt.
-Colors available are light tan, dark tan and olive green.
-Long sleeve and short sleeve.
-Long sleeve might have had a button for rolling-up purposes, but don't quote me on that.
-Lightweight cotton fabric felt like it would be very comfortable in hot weather, and was way, way more supple then my Cabelas Indy shirt.
-All things considered it would be my first choice for a cheap Indy shirt (over the ones I've seen from LL Bean, Walmart, Target and Cabelas).
-My sister (who is firmly in the H&M demo) thought it was a very cool looking shirt, so you could wear it as stealth Indy gear. <grin>

I may be in the area tomorrow night so I'll try to get some camera phone shots.

Do you think you could check what the label says?

H&M, L.O.G.G or Divided?
