Finally! I still carry 3-4 kg more with me than I'd like. @Duke Mantee bonus shot

Here’s the fit, so far is feeling great, and will only get better I’m sure! EDIT: Now I've confirmed they fit me after the wash - all my other pairs are vac packed and stashed away for the duration! Let's see how this goes. I do feel like they will show some real character quite quickly.

Usually I need to be in pressed suits, & such on stage but occasionally I can get away with workwear. FW, Ooe (double knee chambray), CHUP, Paraboot.

Good walk with the pups this afternoon, now waiting for burgers from my favorite local

Just groceries and the dentist today, but it's damn cold out. Oh, and the chainstitch settings are wild. The hems are taught and twisted after a single wash unlike anything I've ever experienced. Iron Heart/Mister Freedom/SDA/Tanner/WoM/Chippewa

IT’s TIME ! !

A rare snow storm in Houston.

Joining in on the Texas snow, we didn't get it nearly as bad as Houston. Thinking I might actually end up wearing these uncuffed.

Number 213 checking in a bit late, finally going to give these a wash and dry.

This is good to know, I didn't want to shit on Simo! I love my 311. The only thing that comes to mind for me on initial thought, with a size 38 in mind: The pocket bags feel a tiny too shallow (fits iPhone 14 Pro just); an extra inch in length would probably be perfect Front pocket openings are a little small, at least for my hands. It's probably partly a syndrome of "new denim" stiffness—but they are only ~13oz—and my hand size; however, I don't think I have overly humungous hands. Everything else feels solid. Love the denim!

Another Texan snow post. Took the girls out for some exploration!

Hi all, For those that don't know me, I spent the last 3.5 years or so working at Son of a Stag/Soldier blue in London, UK. If any of you had any repairs done by them during that period, it's very likely to have done by me. I've now left SoaS and have moved down to the Kent coast where I'm going to spend more time making bags and leather accessories (wallets, keyrings & the like) I'm also set up to take on jeans repairs. So, if any of you want anything done, please do get In touch. Will be very happy to give you a price. Below are a couple of before and afters I did. Sadly l can't justify the cost of a chain stitcher so I unable to offer shortening. Apologies for the blatant promotional post 🙂 Martin

Mostly shelving my 001’s for now, but still a lot of life left in the them. Probably close to a good year of wear at this point with quite a few washes and one or two tumble dries. The denim felt fairly crispy up until the first wash, at which point it just totally softened up and any honeycomb creases were essentially gone. Great jeans.

I was too giddy to do this before putting them on earlier so have steamed the nuts out of them now to flatten it. Can’t be forgoing any tracks down the side of these beauties!!!

Barker Black Archdale Wingtips on my feet. Seem to run a bit roomy so no dress socks. Might add a thin cork footbed to take up some slack.

They even wrote songs about it...

@beautiful_FrEaK you know I'm cycling through every single one them in this two month span of cold weather.

Very very frigid today so I'm bunded up inside. It's 0°f/ -17c outside right now and Hell has actually frozen over in the United States. To those of you living in other parts of the world, please keep a close eye on us. Things are about to get downright sketchy. Multiple friends working in or for multiple three letter agencies have privately cautioned to keep our eyes and ears open. Stay safe Sufu.

meeeee… parcelforce have them and are sending me the hmrc import sting via snailmail letter … probably have by next week at this speed! play on dear ppl! lovely fits all (and better to have too much butt than too little in all things considered)

A few thoughts from Simone on the point that @Jared_Lee raised for your consideration... these may (or may not) help with it!! i think that some of the fit problem Jared was addressing can be also caused by pulling the waist to much higher, if you let’em sit naturally i’m pretty confident that the extra fabric in the yoke/pocket butt area will release'

It’s due to all that global cooling coming up through the Gulf of America!

The Late S40s jeans just landed at Bears, along with the corresponding Type I jacket. Between the appealing price with free shipping, and measurements comparable to my favorite pairs I wear, I couldn't resist and ordered a pair. These should be a nice complement to the more conventional wartime features on my TFH 3003xx. Amazingly, this is my first pair of TCB jeans. (Though back in 2017, I briefly had their 50s jacket. I loved the denim on it, but it was too small for me.) I'd be really curious to hear from somebody who's had several of the specific wartime repros that have come out in the last couple years from other brands like Sugar Cane and Warehouse, and how they compare to TCB's attempt.

@ALB you probably can't go wrong with Full Count 0105. Should be wide enough. For higher rises, maybe Freewheelers or TCB 40s could be an option

My 5150's have been through the wash and they're looking mighty fine! Pre and post as follows: W35 / L30 Waist: 17" / 15 1/2" FR: 13" / 12" BR: 17" / 16" Thigh: 13" / 12 1/2" Inseam: 30" / 27 1/2" They've got more of a pronounced taper than I was expecting, which I like the look of - fit pics will be presented tomorrow, I didn't get any pre-wash!

Definitely not keeping the chain going but here’s me registering my pair!!

Yeah there are a few models at play here I hadn't noticed the issuette Jared has pointed out on any of the jeans but the guy has a keen eye. It'll be interesting to see how you feel about this quirk over time as the jeans settle down. Agreeing with bF, Simo said to me while he hopes everyone really likes the jeans, he's also very interested in any constructive feedback to make his product even better. I think this sits in that camp. fwiw Jared, I think your slightly oversized fit on the 5150s looks great... well thought out that was. Ditto yours aho. I want me some big WoM jeans now so I'm cold-washing when I get to it.

Nearly dry. Did some trimming. Lost 3.5" both in waist and inseam after the wash. The rest shrunk nicely as well. Fit pics tomorrow 🤪

I’m happy with the fit

They shrank perfectly. -3" in the waist to a 32" waist. Leg opening came down to 8.5" from 9". There's a bit of a pattern issue in the seat shape and pockets as I've seen in others' photos as well as my fit, but nothing that ruins the fit. Just a little pattern issue that could be addressed going forward with WoM. Edit: pocket bags are also ~1" too shallow for my liking. Again, small issue, but worth noting.

@bartlebyyphonics you can call 0344 800 4466 to pay the customs charge... been there before sadly!! That should speed up delivery...

... and to fill the void I'm pretty sure that's why squats, Bulgarian split squats and deadlift were invented

My girlfriend got me the Flat Head FN-OJ-D102 blanket lined jacket while we were in Japan. I previously had the Momotaro x Okayama Denim "Frost" type II blanket lined jacket and never liked how it fit. I put this one on in the Jingumae shop and fell in love, fits absolutely perfect. I've been wearing it almost every day since November, its been nice since we've had a dry & cold winter in the Pacific Northwest. Only gripe is no side pockets but I can get over that, I've been wearing gloves instead

311 fit here. Finally got around to shrinking the denim. I went ahead with a hot machine wash x2 and air dry. Overall I’m happy with the fit, construction, and feel of the denim. I probably just went with too much length to begin with but still works out!

Someone mentioned that it might be cheaper to fly to Rome to collect the jeans in person. I didn’t actually think that was true until I looked it up when having my coffee this morning. I live about 25mins from the airport… There would even be change for a coffee. I’m doing local pick up next time 😁

Into storage with the start of #WOMCON: OA01XX at 2.5 years, 5 washes, around 1-1.5hrs of dog walking wear per day only

Been gone from hele a long time - thought i'd post a picture of my old R00 i bought back in 2016... These have gotten so fragile so i use them only occasionally these days. Apologise for the low quality pic.
