it would do well for wearing under a jacket. Who'd know there aren't any?

Looks nice from the front. I actually don't mind no epaulettes since that's the one thing about the Indy shirt design that I really don't like.

However, if you read Duluth Trading's description, this shirt has a bi swing back? How does that look? When I think bi swing backs and pleats I think bowling shirts.

Yeah, I saw these in my catalog, but really, for the price, you can get a Todds or similar with epaullettes. These days you can get the repro's for the same or even cheaper than close- enoughs. It's not like back in the day when we were searching for something close enough 'cause there was no alternative.

Hard to tell from a drawing, but the color looks too dark.

That being said, Duluth stuff wears like iron.

I bought this shirt for now. Plan on making a Classic Indy Outfit, as well as a Modern Indy outfit.

It is a 5.11 Tactical Shirt to go with my "Modern" look:

Yeah I know ay :D

Only think that is annoying is the badge holes on the front (It's a Uniform Shirt), but the style without them doesn't have the shoulder epaulets and it has different pockets:

I managed to unpick the badge holder. It was just a rectangular strip with 2 holes, so now i'm completely happy with the shirt. I'll post some pics tonight.

Also, what do you guys think of this for my Modern Indy outfit. Thinking about getting it in Dark Brown:

Any other suggestions a welcomed. (And I plan on getting a Normal Indy jacket too).

Personally, I would have gotten the classic Indy jacket FIRST, but that's just me...

I most likely will after I get back from holidays in May. Get a Todd's Standard and Outdoorsmans at the same time. Just looking around at the moment just as a reference or guide for later on.

Could you please elaborate on this? In the photos, the badge holder grommets do not appear to be in a separate piece of fabric.
