I' actually not sure. There's no real logic behind when I post other than I find myself with a quiet moment in the day. Will try to do that soon (or do it again?).

36 I’d reckon, for this and the Type 1 Flynn had posted

@Broark same pair l posted last September on the ww2 details thread 🙂

For some reason Japanese denim lingo uses スレーキ, "sleek" or "slake", as the term for twill pocket pocket bags, though occasionally it gets used in this context as well, when the pocket bags are made of a different material like flannel. I have no idea what the etymological origin of this is, as there doesn't seem to be anything particularly sleek about any twill pocket material I've ever seen. Incredible pair of flannel S501xx, though! Thanks for sharing.

Funny coincidence, mate i've been looking for a while and finally pullef the trigger. Price wise the Levi's versions are higher than the leepros and wrangler versions, but those are less common imo. Got a type I in cord from sassafras as well, but that one won't come out until fall arrives here.

And these jeans could be yours for a cool 15 million yen...insane. Some more photos here.

Have you posted a fit pic of that Junky 46 jacket? Sorry if I’ve missed it, Ive been in and out of the waywt thread this year.. mostly out

I've always assumed it's some sort of translation fumble.

Is sleek an English word for pocket bags or where does it come from?

They are really doing cool stuff at Samurai with their local cotton farm and their openness towards collaborations like the one with Slash. https://www.instagram.com/top_americanclothing/reel/DN2T29SXpz6

Definitely, idk if they make this model anymore tho

Ha perfect.

Same. Actually the only 40 I've had from SC is the '46 junky I got from you, which is probably one of my best fitting jackets. (I had a 38 in the '53 but sold it). I feel a bit cursed because in general I need the sleeve and torso length of the 38 with the chest and shoulders of the 40, but sometimes things line up well enough anyways. Or I just don't move my arms as much ha.

@ATWM it’s from handling green boxes at work, washes out then they’re back to this state a day or two later

^ That is quite some green coming through! I've never seen that on LVC's - is that common? (I know some models certainly seem to have a green cast, I just haven't seen anything quite like this is what I mean.)

Yeah, I know this is my cynical side talking, but I feel like some brands/retailers are taking advantage of the tariff situation for performative PR flexing. On the one hand I can't really blame Iron Heart for charging what the market is evidently willing to pay for their products, but it's a bit egregious when it's easy to find that the Japanese retail price is vastly lower than the international markup, beyond what can easily be accounted for by shipping/duties/etc. For myself (and I suspect, most denim fans who don't buy into the "ultra-tough" mythology of the brand), IH doesn't offer me a good value compared to brands like TCB or buying secondhand. I have enough jeans and other casual clothing to easily last me through the next decade or more (factoring in routine repairs, etc.), so I'm not especially bothered by how this tariff situation affects my clothes-buying habits.

44’s at 10 months

I was looking at the same pair more than once! There are some on Yahoo as well from time to time but they don't get cheaper (although the Leepros are loss coveted than the other ones)

That would be great thanks a lot. I'm leaning towards the 47 then as I have fullcount 0105 and TCB50 so maybe the 54 being on the wide side would be just replicating those fits

Hey man yes I can do, no problem, will probably be over the weekend if I can't do it this evening. I've only been wearing mega wide At Last jeans for a while, but I do like both of the XX models. Your summation is pretty much right, with the 47's being more vertically leaning, and the 54's being a touch more stout and wide. There's not a lot in it, but enough for the style to be materially different (to us, at least). As always, Warehouse's own measurements on their site are pretty bang on.

Yeah it’s so cool they aren’t going to gouge people even more. So generous of them. It’s the furthest thing from cool and it’s sad that it’s applauded at all.

Hi @Alec Leamas Any chance you can share your measurements of your 54 and 47s? Are the 47s really much slimmer in the leg compared to the 54s? The rise seems to be higher as well for the 47s but I think the 54s may still be quite a high rise? Struggling to choose between these two fits

@beautiful_FrEaK Quick ones at work, hit me up, if u want more. Not the biggest fan of the back paint, glad it's not that loud in person

Ice-T on the right ?
