【PRODUCT OF BOB SCALES】 A shirt as a tool. POBS 2020FW Collection!!

The clothes we wear every day are a lot like the bicycles we ride; they are essentially tools meant to enrich and add enjoyment to our daily lives.

When something is a tool, it’s always better if it’s as durable and long-lasting as possible. Shirts from PRODUCT OF BOB SCALES, or POBS, are truly pieces that live up to that standard.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, the San Francisco factory was forced to close, making the prospect of producing shirts for this season seem desperate. However, after exploring ways to keep the production going, we managed to establish a means of manufacturing in Vietnam, allowing us to bring you the same high-quality shirts as always this year!

POBS Classic Work Shirt

【PRODUCT OF BOB SCALES】
Flannel Work Shirt

Color : Blue Multi Plaid
Size : XS – L
Price : 20,000 JPY (excl. tax)

The POBS classic Work Shirt is a well-balanced piece that incorporates details of vintage American work shirts, such as dual chest flap pockets and large "cat's eye" buttons, with patterns tailored for modern casual wear. You can wear it as a prized piece, or wear it hard, wash it constantly, and enjoy the broken-in feel that only begins to show once it starts to get worn down.

New to the lineup this season: Shop Shirt

【PRODUCT OF BOB SCALES】
Shop Shirt

Color : Grey Flannel / Blue Brown Check
Size : XS – XL
Price : 16,800 JPY (excl. tax)

The Shop Shirt, which joins our lineup as a new style this season, uses the same pattern and sizing as our classic work shirt. However, it is a smarter piece with no flaps on the chest pockets and slightly smaller buttons, allowing for a more refined look compared to the work shirt.

Heavyweight Wool Work Shirt

【PRODUCT OF BOB SCALES】
Wool Work Shirt

Color : Multi Plaid Rust Windowpane
Size : XXS – L
Price : 25,000 JPY (excl. tax)

The shirt made of heavyweight wool, continuing from last year, features my personal favorite fabric, and I think it will see a lot of use in the coming season.

The texture of this fabric and the solid construction of the heavy wool really show Bob's expertise in his choices. I truly want you to see and feel this for yourself. Beyond just picking your perfect size, I also recommend choosing a slightly looser size to wear it as a shirt-jacket.

PRODUCT OF BOB SCALES shirts are tools you can use forever without worrying about trends, while also possessing the essential elements of clothing that make you genuinely enjoy wearing them. We hope you find a piece that becomes your own favorite tool.
