Find That Shirt!

April 16, 2008 5:03 AM

Clothing Search: I was at H&M a few weeks ago and they had this sweet long-sleeved gray button-down with epaulettes on the shoulders and double breast pockets; none in my size. Sort of punk rock/nondescript uniform-looking. Any ideas where I can find the same thing online?

It was basically a cross between this shirt, and this one.

There's two that H&M do like this which are almost identical, except one has a button on the outside of the sleeve and strap on the inside so that if you roll up the sleeve you can fasten the roll-up with the strap. They do these shirts in a color range and I've noticed that typically one color range will come and then go and that's that. I bought the grey one without the strap here in LA (it is sweet) about 6 months ago, and a dark blue one (sweeter) with the strap about 6 weeks ago. If you're seeing the grey now in your hood, I assume color rotations are happening at different stores at different times, so I guess you could try calling other branches to see if they stock it?

We have exactly that at Urban Outfitters. I can't pull an easy URL from the website, so just browse to urbanoutfitters.com and search for "military shirt."

forallmankind: I had them check out the other H&Ms in the area, but they were all out of stock. The one you describe with the strap is the one I'm thinking of.

Sfving: This is what I'm finding at UO. That's what I want, except gray.

I check out H&M on a reasonably regular basis - let me know what size you are in case I see one; if I do, it wouldn't be a problem to pick it up and ship it out to you.
