@chicote’s mention of a 333 repro in the TCB contest thread reminded me to post this. Just screen grabs from Masaki Fujiki’s instagram stories a few weeks back, but he tends to post items (clues?) a couple of seasons before WH repro them, maybe from buying trips. I could be totally wrong and he might just like them and so shared them. Anyway, my fingers are crossed.

Haven’t posted in a bit on this thread. Rocking some Stevenson Overall salt and pepper trousers I picked up recently from the Community Sale thread. Amazing fabric, sewing, details, fit. Gonna be wearing these a lot on days I feel like wearing not-jeans! Freenote flannel / Flat Head jacket / Equus belt / Flat Head wallet / Stevenson Overall trousers / Wesco Mister Lou

@Alec LeamasHere is the TCB Cat’s Drive. I have more detail shots and a write up that I will repost along with these fit shots in the TCB thread later today when I have time. Still trying to decide whether to keep or release. Sweater is a Shetland from Bosie in ugie pearl. Boots are the Byron’s from Rancourt in Black Essex leather

The tag of joy...more stuff tomorrow

Here are some details for the TCB Cat's Drive in size 31. Waist:15.25" (stretched to 15.5" after trying on and a bit bigger still after wearing for a bit) Front Rise: 12" Back Rise: 14.5" Thigh (at crotch): 12.4" Knee (rough judgement): 9" Leg Opening: 8" Inseam: 33" (hemmed at factory) Out of the box, they are super stiff, much more than the TCB 50's new. On paper, the measurements are nearly identical to my size 31 Warehouse Duck Digger 1001xx 1947, but the fit of the TCB feels much slimmer, especially in the hips and seat. The top block (really from mid-thigh up) almost reminds me of Samurai S211VX (which I'm also on the fence about selling off), but the taper is much more gentle from the knee down. In terms of sizing, I ordered 2 sizes down from my 50's because they were sold out of 32 when I ordered and I figured that my 50's were maybe a 1/2 inch too large anyway. I'd be curious how they would fit in a size up, but I feel like the pattern is designed to be worn slim and these technically do fit in the waist. Like @alecleamas, I feel like these may be a bit too slim and tapered for my present 1947-1955 taste, although they are certainly less slim and less tapered than contemporary "relaxed tapered" cuts. There are a lot of words here, but I find it strangely hard to describe how these fit. I really like some of the details on these, but I'm a little unsure whether I like the fit enough to keep. I will wear them for a bit to see how they relax. The wide set back pockets are pretty cool and flattering in my opinion. Both front and back pockets are tiny though, too small for a modern cell phone and almost even for a wallet. The denim is much greyer in appearance than the 50's denim, although it's a bit hard to capture on camera. The denim also has some interesting character - the left hand twill is very soft and smooth but there is some roughness (and maybe some nep?) as well. I feel like it will probably age pretty well. The stitching feels a bit sloppier than on my 50's, especially along the pocket bags where the stitches are not aligned (see detail shot near end of photos), but that may be by design. The rayon inside label is a bit confusing as it says "Sanforized Shrunk", but Ryo told me that they were actually unsanforized. Puckering and roping feels much less than on my new 50's too and the yoke is almost flat.. Coupled with the stiffness I almost wonder whether they are sanforized, non-wash - may have to check with Ryo again just to verify. The fly is gloriously long and I really like the buttons. The fit has actually relaxed a bunch within an hour and they ride up much less in the back. I may give them a full day or two of wear to see how they break in before deciding whether to release them.

A couple of detail shots just so it wasn’t all waffle and no content, including a shot of the pocket bags for illustration. I’m sure the size of them is accurately reproduced from Lee pocket bags!

Good Afternoon Long-time lurker here that just dove back into the denim game. I haven't bought a pair of denim in a few years and wanted to dive back in with japanese denim. Over the last couple years I've been slowly transitioning out of slim fit mindset and into regular straight leg pants/denim. This lead me back here to learn/relearn these brands/models etc.. I had narrowed down my choices to the Warehouse 1001xx, Denime 220a XX, and Resolute 714. After a lot of back and forth I decided on the 220 and I'm glad I did! After reading through this thread about sizing and shrinkage. I decided on the 34x36. I received my pair from Japan after about 8 days from a shop I found on Rakuten Market. I received my pair and did a 45 minutes cold water soak, then let the jeans dry and followed up with a cold wash on delicate. Some fit pics below (first 3 are raw fitting and the last are after a soak and wash). Along with measurements. 34w x 36 Raw / Soak / One Wash Waist: 17.5" / 17" / 16.75 Front Rise: 13" / 12.75" / 12.5" Back Rise: 17.75" / 17" / 16.5" Thigh: 13" / 12.75" / 12.25" Knee: 10" / 9.5" / 9.25" Leg Opening: 9" / 8.75" / 8.5" Inseam: 35" / 33" / 32" These are coming along great and the fit feels amazing. There's also some room for some shrinkage, which I assume will happen on the second wash. I'm going to wait until after the second wash to get these hemmed.

I’m loving fullcount 0105 these days. It’s still repro styled, I guess, but the cut is more generous than really anything else I’m aware of, but it doesn’t look over the top. Agreed more specificity is needed. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a good looking pair of jeans that wasn’t a traditional cut (there’s a wide variety).

Shoutout to @denimjeans for a flawless transaction, speedy shipping and working with me to add some CH to my wardrobe. Gratitude.

My Cat's Drive jeans sound like they arrived today. I will try them on later and will probably wear tomorrow as long as they fit. I'm a little concerned that the waist may be a bit too small though since I had to order 2 sizes down from my 50's (31 vs. 33) due to availability. However, my size 33 50's have a bit of extra space in the waist and I could have probably worn a 32. The Cat's Drive rise is a bit higher too at 12.5" which should help. Regardless of whether they fit or not, I will try to get some nice detail pics when I get a chance this week or over the weekend even if only to catch-and-release.

My 130 after a wash to follow @bartlebyyphonics. I must have had to re-stitch almost every stitch in the top block and back pockets but all good. Next to re-attach the one hanging belt loop.

Going to a night bar wearing the best clothing brand in the world is priceless! CH-J3B + P47-DS

Very slim indeed! Looking good on a taller slimmer frame though!!

With the wide(r) sweater these jeans look really tight. It has a bit of a "toothpick"-effect (at least in the first pic).

Never heard about this film. Will give a try, thank you!

Lol.. Post it here:

Did some pretty major renovations on my M41200, this week I got these some time in 2019, and they got worn at least a couple times a week through around the end of 2020. From late 2021 onwards, they’ve been in rotation mostly as climbing jeans. I’ve posted updated a few times in the M-series thread as well as the main SC thread (before the former existed). A few months ago, the seat ripped in 4 places in the span of a day. The surrounding denim was clearly wearing thin enough that patching or darning would just mean another major round of repairs in a few months, so I opted to cut up the whole seat and splice in new denim all together. While they were open, I also patched the left thigh, the front right panel of the crotch, and the left back pocket, and I added some reinforcement to the upper right part of the seat, where it seemed like they might soon need it. Overall, I’m really pleased with how they turned out.

Yellow thread is used on the inseam and the coin pocket. Back view Slanted belt loop, typical detail for Denime XX Coin pocket Back pocket The smallest back pockets of all models and this pair is a W36...Triangle stitch is there Leather patch Not attached like the other pairs Fly construction No double stitching anymore. Just orange thread used. V-stitch More obtuse angle, ending at the button. Waistband sewn completely with chainstitch tucked in Top button Same shiny material like Orizzonti. Belt loops Slightly raised, orange thread. Smalelr diestance between the stitching. Thinner bartack Hidden rivet The bartack is a very dark grey. Not black. Construction looks cleaner Selvedge The selvedge thread is quite fat and prominent, like Shins. Change of twill direction is there. Most narrow selvedge line of all models. Front pockets Selvedge. Printed with the Original Line stamp.

Usually I don't do this but I wanted some proper pre-soak pictures so I am wearing them raw right now. Honestly, that would be a good looking post-soak fit so I have to see how I deal with the shrinkage. The 12.5 oz denim is very comfortable.
