Boatyard Shirt: Y'all Need One

[Nicholas Carey]

A good work shirt is nice to have. But maybe not for $150.

Meet the Atlantic Rancher Boatyard Shirt: "The Woven Equivalent of an Oceangoing Tugboat!"

"Built for everyday choring"

I could buy a whole friggin box of deluxe hickory shirts for that price

[skuthorp]

I have a couple bought from a charity shop new for a few bucks. Covered in paint and epoxy and other stuff.
When they get stiff enough to stand up by themselves I'll fill 'em with concrete for a mooring……..

At that stage they are good firelighters.

Where I work (a big-box store), is a dusty dirty environment - I found a selection of various color T-shirts at an art supply store for a few bucks each. When unloading a semi-trailer, if I brush up against a greasy forklift mast or similar, I have no regret as it gets pitched rather than try to wash the shirt.

My goto yard shirt. Dickies - 15 dollars a pop at Walmart. Thick enough with cuffed sleeves. Warm in cooler temps and cooler when hot than a tee shirt. also for all day outside work as they provide a good UV barrier.

BTW - untucked shirts suggest a sloppy workman and are a job hazzard as they catch on much.

I own a shirt like that. Heavy canvas, heavy stitching. 40 years old. Now a size too small, I keep meaning to give it to my daughter. Old, oversize clothes are a thing, doncha know!

Some of you East Coasters will recognize the vendor.

You guys nuts? THIS is a boat yard shirt, and this is one of my better ones.

About 90% of my work shirts are from thrift stores. T-shirt or mock turtleneck (summer/winter). Cotton or cotton/poly 1/4-zip sweatshirts. If you can't quickly get the sleeves up outta the way of tools, epoxy, etc... it's a safety problem. Harder to find stout work pants my size in the thrift store, so sometimes those are new.

$150 for a 'work shirt'? Poseurs, methinks.

I have a canvas shirt that my mother made for me in (+-) 1977. It's now too short and the elbows have finally worn through but I still wear it when I'm going through thick brush, or sailing on a salty day. It was fire engine red when she gave it to me. The first time I washed it it wasn't quite so red, but my underwear was all hot pink for a year or more.

Hoppe and Leno share a “look”!

Yet advertising photos of shirts show them untucked so folks can see what the lower parts of the shirts look like.

If I was working, not posing, at a boat yard I'd probably go with a $40 pair of Dickies coveralls and call it good. Or old shirts and jeans that are on their last legs.

If you know a teen aged girl, or have one of your own, you know that unless you burn them to ash, Jeans and shirts are not on their last legs if they were last on your legs.
I have/had 2 pairs of Levis that mysteriously shrank in the waist area over the last few years. I threw them in the "rag pile". The grand neighbor came over to mow the lawn, and she's like OMG! Where did you get these!? They're like awesome!
I noted that the front thighs were worn to ribbons, and the seat pockets were nearly non-existent. "Totally perfect! How much do you want? I'll like mow the lawn for 2... no 3 months for both of them....." Then I pulled out the elbow-less plaid flannel shirts..... I should be good until she goes to college.

Lois Griffin wears the same shirts.

I wonder if my Five Brothers Hickory shirts (w/buttons) are worth anything?
Must be 4 of those in the bottom drawer - heavy duty for the logging show

I know what you're saying the more holes in jeans the better for young gals its a thing. Take a look at a teenage girl's clothing section, not undergarments that would be creepy, and you'll see new jeans with more holes than denim for north of a hundred bucks!?

[Mrleft88]

My mother always bought my jeans long when I was a teen, figuring I'd grow.... And I did, but I'd also wear the heel part of the jeans hem into fringe, so to remedy this my mother would sew on a band of some other cloth, usually something that looked vaguely like a guitar strap, to the bottom of each leg.... They were pretty cool, until the thighs and seat pockets wore out. She got tired of patching those parts... When the zippers started breaking she just gave up entirely. I don't blame her.

I had an old Lee jean jacket that I permanently borrowed from my dad when I was in junior high school it was well worn then. By the time I was in high school I'd grown in to it but it was getting rough. Split all around the bottom, holes in the elbows. I sewed a piece of an old cowboy boot on the elbows. There was this group of 3 gals we hung out with they were sort of late hippies, being late 70s and all. They were inspired by my crude patches and said they could pretty it up a little better if I wanted. I no sooner said sure than out popped out a bag of rags and some sewing stuff Laurie had the they went to town for a couple hours, fixed and patched the living hell out of it. It was forever after known as Dan's dinner jacket. Wore that sucker like a uniform for several years. I think i lost it or it grew legs can't remember...

When I was a wannabe hippie I actually had a pocket watch in that little pocket.

My work shirts have glue & paint stains of course, but also I cut off the left pocket flap for easy access to pencil and small notepad. I don't know where this one came from but it's 100% cotton, made in Kenya. I don't buy expensive shirts, and certainly not for dirty work.

Before retiring, my workplace was near the Filson Headquarters here in Seattle and I bought quite a few things there over the years, until I realized the workmanship was so-so, and their stuff wore out at about the same rate as cheaper clothing in spite of the 3X price difference. I do like my Filson vest though.

Is that all it took to be a hippie? I also qualified and still have the watch.
