[RBW] Re: Cowboy shirts
Well, I've already ordered one. Although definitely won't look like a cowboy in it. Had mentioned to Grant earlier that a good friend of mine used to be a sales rep for Rockmount here in MN. So have been looking at the shirts for years. Looks like they picked a good model. To comment on Anne's comment - yeah, the railroad shirts are nice. Really, really nice. Have two. Too heavy of material for Minnesota in summer. Otherwise fantastic. Rivendell has made me a clothes hound.

I was at RWHQ today. Those shirts are good-looking in person. Even better looking, in my opinion, are the railroad shirts, with the tiny vertical stripes. Great fabric. A lot more guys look good in a railroad shirt than look good in a screen-printed synthetic bike jersey. I have one of the RR shirts. I got it a size too large and wear it as a light weight jacket. The Riv blurb saying the material gets softer with washing is right on point. Very comfortable. Never owned a jersey. Glad I own the RR shirt.

I am just under 6' and relatively (by north american standards anyway) light weight. I have a large which as I say above I use as a light jacket. I can easily wear it over a regular size shirt. The sleeves are long on me. In cold weather I pull them over my hands when I ride as a wind block. Otherwise I have to roll the sleeves.

[RBW] Re: Cowboy shirts
Not to enable, but I have been to the Rockmount store many times, and have owned probably 5 or 6 very similar shirts over the years. They really are nice. Bit o' the billy myself. I was honestly shocked to see them on Rivendell. Not because they don't fit in, just because they are local to me. I had to take a second to realize that Riv was indeed talking about the same Denver based company. They do have a gazillion shirts in all sorts of super westerny flair, but the more normal ones are great. I think all the ones I've had were cotton only, but super sturdy and very well put together. The only one I have left hangs at my parents cabin near the divide. I will actually be wearing it tomorrow night manning the fire pit. Might need to pick me up a new one! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Cowboy shirts
I'm for one to never wear things from places if I don't have any type of affixation with that certain product or place. For example, I never went to Stanford and wouldn't wear a shirt from there, not because I don't like Stanford but because I have no connection to Stanford. And as much as Grant says that I look like a cowboy, I am not one and at first I was against wearing one. But after some poking Grant put me in a shirt and I thought it looked pretty good. Not as all cowboyishly as I expected it. If it was a different color I could buy one to wear to school and maybe buy a size smaller. I thought I recoqinzed you at the shop today Anne!
