[Worn] Merz b. Schwanen - Sizing and Shrink Tests July 8, 2018 BLOG

One of the hardest parts about operating Withered Fig as an online store is assisting customers with sizing. Sizing denim and pants can be hard, but we make do with as much information as possible, to include information from you – our customers (such as providing us your measurements from your best fitting pair). When it comes to shirts and tees, we think there’s a little more leeway, and that most people can get by with a couple basic measurements (chest and shoulders).

Railcar Fine Goods Interview - Makers of Denim May 27, 2018 BLOG

Railcar Fine Goods has really expanded their business in the last couple years from their core of denim to introducing shirting, apothecary, and to opening up their retail and barber shop. Railcar is unique in that all their clothing is made in-house from the initial cut of the fabric, to the sewing, to the final assembly for packing and shipping; and it’s all done out of their 5,000 square feet building in Monrovia, CA. When you start talking with Steven, the owner of Railcar, the immediate thing you’ll sense is his sincere enthusiasm for the work that he does in making quality clothing.

Viberg for Withered Fig Aged Bark Roughout in 1035 Last - 2060 Sand Sole - Brown Oil Tan Contrast Tongue

Introducing Viberg for Withered Fig April 29, 2018 BLOG

It truly is an honor to bring in our first footwear brand, and one of the most well-known high-end bootmakers out there – Viberg. Since 1931, Viberg has been producing high-quality work boots for the everyday working man. Over time, they eventually introduced boots that were geared more towards the every day stylish man, rather than the utilitarian man that required certain details such as steel toes for practical reasons. However, when they moved into …

Alpha Industries x 3sixteen Collaboration Jacket M-59 Fishtail Parka

Alpha Industries x 3sixteen Collaboration - An Interview With Alpha Industries February 22, 2018 BLOG

3sixteen and Alpha Industries have come together for a truly special project on the M-59, M-65, and the accompanying liner jacket, by bringing together 3sixteen’s denim following with Alpha Industries military-inspired clothing. While 3sixteen is no stranger to military inspirations, we have found this project so interesting for Alpha Industries – the first time using indigo-dyed fabrics in their jackets, the first time since the 1990s where an Alpha Industries jacket will have been made …

[Worn] Railcar Fine Goods Camel Flight Trousers - 16 Month Review February 5, 2018 BLOG

The Camel (Duck Canvas) Flight Trouser has gained quite a following in the Instagram denim community. Although it’s obviously not denim, it does hail from the small operation of Steven’s Railcar Fine Goods in Monrovia, CA, where he makes these Flight Trousers, but also their extensive denim line-up. Steven’s inspiration for the Flight Trousers came from his father who was a fighter pilot. The image of the A-1 Skyraider Jet on the back tag of the Flight Trousers gives a nod to the aircraft that his father flew.
