All Activity

I don’t think it was ever something I loved or hated, but those old discussions are old and that just reinforces my lack of enjoyment for what’s being made now. We’ve seen it done … and probably done better. It’s a tough one though, because every label just want to sell their product and if war denim and that era is the thing they want to push then who am I to complain? After all I make a mean 30s-40s belt 😉

The QC threshold is if it’s sewn neatly/accurately/symmetrically with no loose threads - then it fails and has to be redone!

3SIXTEEN VACATION SHIRTS & CLASSIC STRAIGHT LEG JEANS 3sixteen’s new “Bone Print” vacation shirt is here. This version features a print the 3sixteen team saw during their recent trip to India and had it reproduced and printed onto a silky rayon fabric. We've also received a fresh run of 3sixteen's classic straight leg jean in their rinsed Kibata denim. Shop 3sixteen Online: https://www.selfedge.com/3sixteen

The offset drives my ocd nuts. I can get into very minor offset but something so intentional comes off as being poorly sewn in my opinion. Haha where is the quality control

I wonder if Leftfield NYC was inspired by the Headlight Overalls graphic at all.

This deliberate shoddy manufacturing style has been discussed previously at great length either early on in the CSF thread or Denimbro (or both) and is a bit marmite - folks tend to love it or hate it. It’s not for me but each to their own.

The ones posted by @Broark or did they offer some during LA Inspiration?

I agree. Trying to carefully reproduce the imperfection looks ridiculous at the very least.

Pricetag on the p24a ki?, thx

TL\DR - scam happened, I am upset, be aware of @dcl_max, his insta, ebay, https://www.reversible.com/user/dcl_max/listings Another rant, but on me getting screwed on Reversible(ish): Found this listing of p38 on reversible from user dcl_max . After contacting him, he asked for direct payment with Alipay. Due to all feedback that he had on reversible page + eBay link and that he also on Sufu forum, I agreed and transferd fund to this wallet (I am an idiot, I know ). He shipped, and even used acronym box to do so, but when we opened it, inside was some stinky rags that someday were grey sweatpants Idk why you did something like that, risking all your rep over some petty 2.3k usd, but still. After confronting him in the chat, he stated to act like he doesn't know anything, plead to his reviews, and after that trying to blame me in changing pants on delivery etc etc So yea, this is very stupid and bad situation for me and seems like there no way to get money back (or pants) and its my fault that I got myself into transferring fund to strangers on the internet, but this will be a lesson for someone else out there. Unless @dcl_max you willing to cooperate instead of blaming me, post and customs. If so - please contact me in our DM on reversible and let's figure our shit out. Otherwise DO NOT BUY ACR from or be aware of fraud from @dcl_max, his insta, ebay, https://www.reversible.com/user/dcl_max/listings

Mean that Initially thinking that the seller is a noob, i pmed him before ur post and warn that he sold a fake and need to refund asap. But the description indirectly indicates, that he knew about a fake and trying to justify the lack of a paper+plastic bag. I assume u will get a refund without any problems. Don't worry

Finally saw some real drama happen to this ridiculous guy...I am always wondering what he really keeps in his mind for making all his ridiculous price posts since the first time I saw him on Grailed..Hope you can get your money back asap

Honestly, I’m just seeing these exaggerated ‘machinist errors’ as a bit of a joke now. Every new effort seems to want to outdo the last one. I know I have a slightly different view to how this ‘poor quality’ might have manifested itself originally but these modern iterations just don’t convey the spirit of wartime efforts - more like they are ‘ripping the arse out of it’* *reproduced from The Dictionary of Modern Scottish Language (current edition)

I’ve not spoken to Seiichiro so maybe that’s the case mate - I just remember seeing something in the catalog Regardless, in the matter of shrinkage, no matter what version of denim I’ve ever had (which is all of them except this - potentially) has ever experienced residual shrinkage of any concern. So that’s the question to follow up with Seiichiro.

@MJF9 thanks! It’s the Tri-P coat, a little different than the ring, but similar in a lot of ways as well. I like it a lot, I think it will get a lot of wear 3 seasons of the year here. Perfect for layering.

That offset stitching is ridiculous, I love it

Nope, they are not released yet. 😝. Pics are from their official account.

Thanks for trying, I am the idiot who fell for it. Pretty ridiculous considering how much ACR I own actually...laughing at myself for being such a dumbass. Maybe between all this noise Grailed will help me out, I did hear from them and emailed them all the photos etc as they requested. Can't help to wonder if the guy who bought the CH jacket got a real one? Paid $6K ..were there reps of those? Pretty obtuse, old piece but the internet is made of some wild wild west as shit. Also wondering if this guy runs the Fashion Reps page on Reddit and made it private so they can all hide and think they are doing something cool

I picked up a book of porcelain enamel signs for signpainting reference material, and was surprised to see several denim / workwear brands represented! Interesting that many of them have been revived in Japan as well.

@Duke Mantee @MJF9 yea I asked if the wwii denim for the 1942 is the same as the s601 and Hoosier said no it’s a different denim.

@AlientoyWorkmachine Kapital looking good... not sure I've seen that version before... how are you finding it?

I thought it was the same denim too Shred

I was lucky enough to grab 2 of the Ooe type 2 and they’re amazing! I can post pics here this weekend.

After I saw the listing about a week ago or so, i instantly reported to Grailed team - replied that they would sort it out asap. From grailed photos it was ez to spot a fake. Also send him a pm. Zero reaction.
