    OT? Source for inexpensive, but good quality denim shirts

    My supply of long sleeve denim work shirts was wearing out and I was unwilling to pay the crazy $30+ each for Levis, Carhart, etc. so I did some web searching, found the source below, read the specs and a couple of reviews and ordered 8 shirts at $10.48 each to restock.

    http://www.jiffyshirts.com/dressshir...harriton/M550/

    The box came today and I am QUITE pleased with the quality of both the materials and the workmanship (made in Bangladesh, but I think they're good quality - certainly for the price). Delivery was 2-3 days, BTW, and shipping was very reasonable.

    I have no affiliation with the seller - just though that some of you might want to check it out.

    The one thing that wasn't immediately obvious to me was that, at the bottom under the rows of sizes and the quantity they have are text entry boxes to enter how many you want. The boxes don't stand out well, so it took me a minute or two to figure out how to actually order.

    I just looked at the enlarged view picture and had to laugh. They photoshop-ed the buttons on the shirt. The casual eye might not ever notice this, but look at how the buttons are all perfectly aligned and legible.
    I doubt that it has any bearing on the quality of the shirts, but it does make me question the honesty of the retailer. (or at least their marketing guys)

    It's done all the time- most times you don't even notice it. This one is just a bad PS job as they missed the Collar button too but they're selling shirts for 10 bux- got the janitor working Photoshop during the night

    Before PS they would have an on set seamtress sew all the buttons on so they all read perfectly.

    I think they may have done the collar buttons too. They are both pointing the same way. I just thought it was interesting. They do have a couple of good reviews on their site. And as bad as they are, their pics are way better than Duluth Trading Co (drawings of the products), and much better prices.

    Carl,
    Thanks for the link dude. For that price, I'll give them a try.
