Eliminator Japanese 7 Oz Tweed-Wool Shirt

Update 8:00 AM 4/14/26: After checking back on the weekend sales of the launch, there was an incredible response! Thank you for all those orders. This shirt has entered the "fabric supplies are limited" category. We do have some fabric to make them, but they will go unavailable without notice once we run out of this fabric. 

Update 8:00 AM 4/10/26: Launched via online and email marketing.

Description:
An Eliminator you already know and trust. Built this time from a rare Japanese wool blend that brings a completely different character to the piece.

This fabric has a dry, textured hand with a natural grit to it. It’s not soft and it’s not meant to be. The structure is what gives it presence. With wear and washing, it will relax and soften slightly, but it will always hold onto that signature wool character.

Each shirt is hand cut and sewn in-house, using our full Eliminator build: flat-felled seams throughout, oversized gussets for mobility, and our signature long run-off chain stitching. Finished with acorn-shaped pockets, deadstock cat eye buttons, and the small details that set it apart.

Fabric supply is limited, and once it’s gone, it’s gone. We’re cutting these as they’re ordered to make sure nothing gets wasted, no extras, no restock.

This is one of those pieces that doesn’t come around often. A true collector’s build that will break in over time while keeping its edge.

General Sizing And Shrinkage Info:
Size up one from your normally bought shirt size.

After using the same exact same Railcar Eliminator patterns, these shirt are coming out slightly small after the cut and sew process. That combined with a machine wash shrinkage, we highly recommend sizing up one size from your normal size. If you get your normally bought size, it will be too small.

Machine Wash Shrinkage Test:
After a machine wash test, the shirt WILL shrink 1 inch in chest width and 1 inch in over all shirt length. That equates to 1 full size of shrinkage.

Dry Cleaning:
Dry cleaning is the best method of keeping the garment in its as new condition. If you plan on never washing this at all, you could size true for a snug fitment. We do still really recommend sizing up one.

About Vintage Tweed Wool Blend:
This is a traditional heritage tweed wool blend. It does have that natural grit as expected. The fibers, with wear and washing will relax and soften slightly but will always hold on to its signature wool character. This is how you get that unmistaken tweed vintage look you're going for. We recommend wearing an under shirt to we worn with wool shirting.

Delivery:
These shirts are made when ordered and will take 3-4 weeks from order to ship. Orders will be made in the order received. 

Oversell Note:
If for some reason we run out of fabric, the later orders will be canceled and fully refunded. You will be notified as soon as it is known. Orders will be made in the order in received. 

The Fabric:
This shirt uses a collectable and rare Japanese heritage wool blend in a brown and burnt orange pattern. Wool fabrics alone are very expensive. This being a Japanese heritage wool blend was not cheap to acquire. This shirt will go unavailable without notice due to fabric supply.
