Finally found the jacket that originally got me interested in FW on yahoo auctions also picked up this flannel from @JMS I think It's the Speed Tuner

Rivet and Hide give hip measurements for their inventory: https://rivetandhide.com/measurement-guide/

@crownzip so sick! @unders how’s your pair looking?

I’ve never washed any of my jeans inside out. But I also use the dryer sometimes too. Hahahah I like marbling. I like harsh creases. Just wear em hard and wash em often

27 type 1 43 jeans been hitting the gym a lot lately. These jeans are hard to get my legs into now haha

lovely to see all these jeans @merzbot @irual @bartlebyyphonics, fading twisting and repairs all looking great. Really good to see a pair of hadal jeans wearing in, too- please keep us posted. Here are my 12oz Cross Weave 136s. I get such a kick out of seeing the right-hand twist on a left hand twill fabric cut sideways 🙂

Hasn’t TCB made it clear that they already have a model in mind for this? Doesn’t seem like it’s up to us to decide one way or another

Haven’t worn them much since the last time I posted them @shredwin_206 The arcuates are disintegrating which looks kinda cool

@MJF9 those 1943 look great!

I’m curious how they’ll sell since they don’t have the usual features that most denimheads require.

I like your front door @MJF9!

back from repairs

Probably a topic more for a general thread, but I've always felt the measurements should include the hip area. Many times you even have to dig around to get a rear rise number. But I feel like some cuts just have much less fabric in the hip/arse area. Also, some have too much in the hips and they kind of bag out.

As requested by @Dr_Heech... plus others may be interested, sharing some measurements Both worn a bit, especially the S516XX

WH 660, no idea how old or how many washes/soaks. Before soak and after soak.

Because I got the SC tux from Seiichiro... there was an opportunity to beef up the package 😉 with these Derrickman. Useful for the 3 days of summer we get in the UK 😀 Loving the herringbone fabric.

Collectibles 1943 tux was waiting for me. Happy days. Bought raw so just put them both through a 40C wash. Jeans 34, jacket 46.

@unionmade not sure what size you are, but I have a pair of Freewheelers 601RB that I’ve been meaning to sell (too small for me). Size 31, unhemmed. Probably 5 wears. If any one is interested I can provide full measurements / pics. Sold.

My Hadal green overdyed 125's are slowly getting more difficult to pass off as black jeans. I'm alright with it though!

Some fit pics on my Cats Drive pair, for illustration of the fit on a different body type. I put them on again today to find that actually, they're not so uncomfortable and maybe I will put some time into them - the fabric is already softening and I imagine will become very comfortable over time. I actually did the same thing, I compared the size charts beforehand to my DD-1001XX (1947) (essentially my North star fit-preference wise, granted the waist is a bit big for me, but overall as yet unbeatable) - and the comparison of the measurements I need to know about looks like this: DD1001XX (34) // TCB Cat's Drive (32) Waist (flat): 42cm // 40cm Front Rise: 31cm // 32cm Thigh (my KEY measurement): 31cm // 31cm Hem width (at unhemmed inseam length): 21.5cm // 20cm Given that, I imagined I was going to be in for a spacious pair - as you can see - I was indeed not! As mentioned above it was truly a lesson in a set of measurements not giving the full picture. It wasn't the fit I was after, but maybe I'll get along with it anyway! They certainly won't be getting my usual treatment of regular wash and dries.

IMO they are genuine. But no Tiger Selvedge 😅

This one is from last week but I’m going to share anyway because I really like this rugby. It’s a vintage Rugged Wear rugby from the 80s or 90s with big Rubber buttons that reminds me of vintage climbing rugbies. Chinos are Buzz WW2 (complete 180 from the TCB pair I wore yesterday in terms of fit). Shoes are Rancourt ranger Mocs

@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

Enjoying the last fleeting days of sweatshirt weather. Freewheelers. Ooe Yofukuten. Russell.

I'm of the mentality that the fit should come first (unless you're going for the loose sort of anti fit thing, which is great, and then a cm here and there doesn't much matter). But it's really no fun to size up for the thighs/top block and then have a waist that's sloppy...especially if you're looking to dress them up sometimes. By measurements, the 714 would work for me, but they'd still cut it close and I've avoided them for that reason (that and I have enough). The idea of dressing them up or down is very likely just because you've seen them styled that way because of the preferences of Hayashi-san. They're blue jeans and like @yung_flynn said other brands will work just fine for this - it's more the fit and the minimal detailing that makes them suitable, not anything particular about Resolute. I'd start with your hopeful top block measurements for a given waist size and see where that gets you brand wise. Another brand that is often style more Ivy is Boncoura - their XX fit might work (not war model but still repro). I have to plug the Freewheelers '51 here also - it's pretty affordable from Japan, takes well to washing, and has a generous but still more refined silhouette. The stitching will last you longer than WH/Denime too, if that matters. They have a '47 too, but it sounds like the '51 might actually work better for what you want.

Just got my pair back from being hemmed by Indigo Proof. I will say it feels a little strange wearing a war era pair that's so neatly constructed, but I'm enjoying wearing them so far.

I'll upload fit pictures a bit later. They fit great.

Recently saw the Bears IG post this type 2 in stock and I picked it up. I wasnt familiar with the brand before but I’m really happy with the jacket. The denim feels and looks great in person.

By the way, Mepse posted a 10% off coupon for orders through their Base.shop..maybe something the proxy service could use as well.
