Jim - I see several references to "Hickory Shirts" on line - all referring to a blue pin-striped work shirt worn in the past by railroad workers and lumbermen. Could be that these have been around longer than 150 years, but I don't know that for a fact. Here is a link to some made out my way. (We put our bad guys to work here in Oregon.)
