Stan's Dad's Shirt
October 28, 2010 4:56 AM

Where can I find a shirt as close as possible to the shirt that Randy Marsh wears?

The bluish-greenish one, with two chest pockets. As seen here.

I can find similar shirts, which are fine, but if anyone knows of something more exact, that'd be great.

(And before Saturday night would be cool too.)

It looks sort of like a typical factory work shirt in a teal-ish color.

I would check stores that sell work clothes, or by chance, that might be the kind of shirt that shows up at goodwill stores.

Not particularly cheap, but this Chamois utility shirt in antique turquoise from J. Crew is pretty darn close.

Try this. if that doesn't work, go to the dickies.com site and look at the work shirts.

I was going to say, looks like a chambray work shirt I used to see on the machinists at the boeing factory. And Randy is a geologist, and they wear that sort of "workingman's" stuff.

Thanks everyone. Those are good. I'll probably just get what I find first. Anyone happen to know a good place to find work shirts in Manhattan?

If I were you I'd focus on finding the right style first and then dye it to match. Rit Dye is incredibly easy to use, and very cheap.

You could also (and it might be funny) just buy a long sleeve shirt and draw the pockets /etc onto it with a black fabric pen, since that would kind of match the cartoon better anyway...

Ross or Marshalls or similar.

I am lazy, so I went to J. Crew and picked up the one The Michael The linked to. It happened to be on sale too. Close enough! Thanks!

mdn, your idea is very interesting! If I weren't so lazy, I'd consider it more.

Sounds like you already found what you were looking for, but for future reference, if you're looking for work clothes in Manhattan, definitely check out Dave's.
