  1. Yesterday
  2. Isn’t this the thing people loved about CSF? Is it just now that it doesn’t seem so unique because you can get erratic stitching from brands that used to use straight lines, so it’s played out? I sort of don’t care much either way - as far as bad design goes I’ve seen tons worse from many other brands any time I’m in a regular store - but appreciate that these aren’t so much about the spirit as the letter of the flaws. Japanese industry has been known to make a great copy of something - it doesn’t mean it necessarily cares a whole lot about the origin story of the garment.
  3. That approach to wonkiness has always struck me as ultra corny; that was already my main complaint with the early rounds of Warehouse DSB, and it’s wild to see how much farther folks have continued pushing it these days
  4. as someone who's always had a hard time sewing in a straight line, i am feeling really validated by these
  5. Been rough and toughing some FW 47 the past couple of months Fit is great. Super baby soft abrasion resistant denim Edit: here's a photo of the front
  6. It reminds me of trying to kern text to look badly kerned. There's a skill in trying to make something look bad, but in a good way.
  7. Much prefer FW approach on the WW2 theme. where in an alternate universe, people still hold their standards even at war.
  8. Ah but SC are only repro'ing that one wonky model so all the repros need to be the same wonkiness proportionately 😉
  9. @Lendo Pics of 800xx as requested. Half waist 44.5cm, as shown Inseam 88cm Both these measurements are exactly as per those recorded on Bears website so I imagine the rest will be accurate too but if you want me to check any others, let me know.
  10. Yes that’s correct. Impressive nonetheless in my opinion.
  11. Isn’t that exactly the opposite of how world war wonkiness works?
  12. Having seen a few different pairs in person (speaking on the 43 tux, can’t comment on the 46): it’s actually very impressive how nearly identical the wonky, irregular stitching is across each item. Down to the little flecks of weft sticking out. They did a great job of making these as close to their original vintage pieces as possible.
  13. That's where the modern skill comes in mate
  14. Since I haven't seen every piece they made in every size it's hard to say But yes, that was the plan.
  15. So every single piece in every size of this production run is identical in detail?
  16. “Where can I buy one of those jackets?”
  17. @MJF9 l agree with @beautiful_FrEaK insomucinsomuch the garment is based off an actual vintage one so the wonkiness is perfect, in a perfect wonky sense. I just think like many that it is now just one manufacturer outdoing the next on the wonky scale. I for one am over this trend by a long shot but can appreciate the draw it still has.
  18. I like the SC stuff better than that Full Count pair posted yesterday because at least they trimmed loose threads (aside from chainstitch runoff). Personally wouldn't wear either because they look more like homemade clothes than repros to the untrained eye. Appreciate the attention to detail though.
  19. Well, except for the excessive chainstitch run-offs they are a 1:1 copy of an existing Levi's jacket, so I wouldn't say they take it too far... because there is an actual jacket looking like this. No fantasy product.
  20. So what do we think about the new SUGAR CANE SUPER DENIM COLLECTIBLES 1943 models? Has the wonkiness finally been taken too far?...
  21. seconded @JDelage, @merzbotI'd love to see it!
  22. Classic early seventies Maynard joke.
  23. ^ What plant did they use for the rivets and buttons? A steel plant?
  24. Freewheelers 1927, Powerwear, Trackwalkers / @Duke Mantee / Pras
  25. but they made a plant based 501 in 2023 which had 100% cotton thread though, of course I bought em 🤫
