I was walking through Meijers the other day when I spotted this rack of shirts.  I thought to myself...hmmm those look like familiar.  I walked over and sure enough they were a pretty good copy of an M1883 pullover shirt.  Navy blue of course,4 button, 2 pockets w/buttons but no flaps.  Cotton not wool :( but they wer only like $25.  A pretty good deal I think.

Meijers is a large chain of superstores here in the upper midwest.  It is a part of Krogers. 

The more I think on it, the more these look just like the cottom version of the M1883 sold by different cowboy vendors.
