    Also... i've been organizing my "closet". Finally organizing my tees and got some cheap Swedish cube shelves to keep my frequent rotation tidy. Also did a rough estimate on my entire collection. Any guesses on a total?

    In search of: Been looking for this tee for literal decades. Any leads greatly appreciated. One last good search before i just make one myself.

    hahaha that made me laugh @Alec Leamas... funny how the circle goes... I remember seeing @smoothsailor in a war Leepro jacket over on Denimbro (where I wasn't a member), folded up on the back of his bike in a field and thought I gotta get one of them... what a fruitless hunt that was... until the 147J fitted the bill albeit with At Last twist... my first was a snug size 44 bought third hand from a bloke on Denimbro (I thought I'd won a ticket to Wonkers factory)... sold that a few years later when it was just too small to wear easily and then for a 46 when it was relatively easy to buy direct. It'll always be a shame that the Vintage Showroom in London closed down as they used to stock a few pieces, albeit at London rates... but it was still worth the visits.

    It’s funny actually, before I was a member on here and just starting out in the denim collecting and fanboying game one of the few resources I could find was this thread on here, and your posts @MJF9 were key in that, I remember living vicariously through those posts and thinking ahhh man it would be so cool to have a mate pick some stuff up for me! Haha. And also seeing @smoothsailor’s battered up 147s and thinking surely not, they don’t end up like that do they?! Good old times, more innocent times maybe.

    ^ You can’t go wrong; they’re my favorites by a good margin, not counting ‘90s Cane’s

    Adding... The patterns are much more differentiated compared to Freewheelers, SC etc all of which I have plenty of and like a lot. The cuts are different and they have their own unique twist on both jeans and the jackets such as the Leepro 147J or the 677J for instance. It's much easier to get hold of their stuff since Covid as they'll sell direct now and do so through emails, which is a good thing in that it keeps the brand going and extends the reach. I remember hankering after the stuff and persuading a mate to do a trip to the Tokyo shop for me when he was at the Rugby World Cup. He called me from the store but they refused to let him do a video call or take pictures inside. Anyhow, he brought me back a few nice items so I was happy.

    I've got the 147, 161, and 162. The 147 are my favourite (I'm currently trying to sell my 162 on this forum). I like the 161 fit. They are slightly wider in the hip and seemingly narrower in the leg, but I don't like the contrast between the orange thread and the indigo.

    Interesting, I'm not a 'fan' of At Last & Co but their pattern making/cuts and fabrication are a huge standout to me (compared to most of the brands discussed/admired on this forum). Most of the time, I really appreciate the slightly tweaked fit of their vintage style garments

    @Broark I like both the 147 and 162... I have both in w34 and like them both... the 162 is more spacious at the same waist size in the top block. That might work well for you. 162 are great jeans.

    Had a pair of 126, found them to be boring to. just a straithish pair of jeans. Sold them off. i used to be intrigued by the brand. It wore off. do like their gear though.

    I enjoy the process it takes to research and try to gather information, rather than having everything handed to you on a silver platter, it can be annoying tho, sometimes it would be easier to just have the size chart with 2 clicks we can all agree on that. Most of their stuff I also wouldn't wear because it looks too much like a costume and I'm not that old, even tho the Japanese youngsters pull it off effortlessly. That said, I love all of their pieces I have and enjoy them more than any other heritage brand.
  19. ATWM
    Yea, I understand this. Undoubtedly it is translatable to value in some way. When I got the paper catalog some time ago that was a bit of a treat in and of itself, even though I never ordered anything. It's sort of in how I enjoy Freewheelers in buying from Hoosier, as opposed to anywhere else - even though that's possible to do. I think I would probably favor the brand for myself with a few design tweaks, but that's a subjective thing. One of those I think I love to see it on others more than I can imagine myself in it sort of things.
  20. SLAYER
    That's kinda the whole point of their sales ethos, rejection of modern mass-marketing and online retail trends, which creates a niche following of dedicated enthusiasts who seek out their pieces, nobody ends up with their stuff just because they found it in a blackfriday sale. You only wear their gear because you actively choose to engage with the brand, it feels like joining an exclusive club, that sense of camaraderie is what keeps me interested over other brands.
  21. Broark
    @ATWM I agree with you too. Honestly I think my interest in it is seeing a lot of the guys fully decked out in the stuff, it’s a very unique look and there’s a lot of smartly dressed guys wearing their stuff even if is a bit costumey. I think if I lived in Japan and I could go try their stuff on and see it in person it would be easier too. However I will say their sneakers are my favorite of any Japanese brand that I’ve tried. With the tariff stuff going on and the suspension of EMS I’m probably not making many purchases anytime soon, just been into the look lately.
  22. Alec Leamas
    Although I do love the brand, I actually agree with this and I don’t think it’s a hot take. I haven’t found anywhere else quite like it in terms of the shirting and that unique twist you describe, but again, there’s probably an element of the “mystery” making me feel that. Although, I will say I’ve quite enjoyed the experience of speaking with someone over email about specifics of an item and buying it that way rather than browsing amongst hundreds of items online (though I do also do that on FromJapan, and then it doesn’t feel as special when ordering there)

    lovely fades tempting me to get my first pair of freewheelers denim
  24. Le Clown Bleu
    i see im quite limited in terms of what i can get when it comes to Japanese shirts/knits/outwear with few exceptions due to how narrow the shoulders and sleeve length is usually far to short for me hopefully there's something outside of trousers that will fit me
  25. ATWM
    Here’s my hot take - and I’m no expert in At Last - but I don’t think they’d sell all that well or have the desirability without the sort of clandestine pricing / ordering model. If you could just order them from Bears I don’t think they’d seem all that interesting. When it comes to the goods themselves I’ve been intrigued but then ultimately never too interested once scrutinized. They seem plenty nice, no disputing that - and they do have their own unique twist, but for me not much stands out in a way that is desirable or separates them.

    Thanks for that link I hadn’t realised Brogue had shared those! They look a touch slim for me, which seems mad to say.
