Mid-sentence Union Special / Tender Co. x2 / Tightly Stitched / patchwork Cane’s / Russell Mocs

Indeed! I really like this fabric too, and it's particularly interesting how it takes the darker dyes, which make the colour variation much more subtle. I'll have one more variation in this fabric over the next few weeks, but I'm afraid none going to EU stockist this time. Here are some closeups of the 'rough' logwood and hadal purple dyed versions. The rough logwood was a test using a mix of old more coarsely ground logwood powder, it didn't dye as evenly as regular logwood (particularly the newest batch of black logwood which came out beautifully dark and clean) but I think works really well on this fabric, which is slightly coarser and heavier, and in this style, which works best as an overshirt/light jacket.

Greetings, all. I'm new to superdenim and I've been rereading this thread for about a week. I just received a pair of the 1001XX(1000XX) DSB 1946 repros, and I absolutely adore them. I haven't washed them yet as I am currently fading a couple of other pairs for the time being, but I look forward to wearing these a LOT. I think they may be the perfect denim for me. I greatly appreciate @indigoeagle’s post a page back in the thread regarding the Warehouse numbering system. I would appreciate any more information on this as anyone would be willing to offer. As I said, I've read through much of the more recent parts of this thread (since about page 300) and it's left me more confused on this issue than I was before reading. It seems sometimes the numbers indicate a cut or a repro year and sometimes they indicate a specific denim used? If any of you who are long time Warehouse enthusiasts would be willing to shed some light on the subject and potentially the evolution of the lot no. usage, I would be greatly appreciative. Lastly, I've read elsewhere in the last week that Warehouse produces (or produced?) the Burgus Plus line for Hinoya. Can anyone confirm or deny this fact? I have a Burgus Plus chambray that I adore and would be interested to know that it was my actual first Warehouse made piece as opposed to these jeans that I've just received. I will definitely be purchasing more Warehouse in the future. I'll keep my eyes posted for loopwheeled sweat shirts, as I have a soft spot for those. Thanks, everyone. I'm glad to a be a (late) newcomer to this forum. PS—I've noticed that a lot of people posting in this thread pick the arcuates to get the full Levi repro look with the Warehouse denim. I've not seen people in other communities (notably IG) do this nearly as much. I'm curious as to why most of you seem to want to do this? Not questioning... I had no intention of picking this arcs on my pair until I had them in hand, and I suddenly had the burning desire to grab my seam ripper and have at them, which is very strange for me... I'm the guy who can't even bend the corner on a book page to mark my spot because I hate to intentionally alter the original condition of anything—much more of a "natural patina" kind of attitude for me, usually.

Picked this up on Chrono24 awhile back, Speedmaster Date 3511.50.

picked up the J1WB-E and P47A-DS and figured i'd share my thoughts thus far J1WB-E definitely lives up to the hype. the W is no joke, it is very spacious--can easily accommodate any liner you'd want to use with it. i've been wearing it with my cp company flatt nylon primaloft jacket as a liner and it works perfectly for my needs. the epic nylon used is true black as it appears in the product shots, not bluish black like the material used for the J33-E, which i really like. the canted hem is a great touch, it's not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. with the spike tape attached, the jacket is very heavy. i imagine it could become cumbersome when using the sling for extended periods of time. the grav pockets are also pretty much useless due to the baggy/widened sleeves plus the non-stretch nature of epic nylon makes it difficult to load them up. not a huge issue for me as i never use grav pockets anyway. i went with my usual size of M and it definitely feels appropriately oversized. i think i could have sized down, but don't regret going TTS. definitely happy with this one and glad i jumped on it. look forward to more -E shells in the future. P47A-DS are probably my favorite Acronym pants that i've owned right out of the bag (over models like P38-E, P30A-E, P24A-S, P10A-S, P41-DS, P23Q-DS, P15-DS). the overall cut is super flattering for my short legs (i'm 5'10 with a ~100cm outseam), and they are effortless to style whether dressing them up or down. love the stealth cargo pockets that provide function while keeping the pants looking super clean. the double snap closure is a great alternative to your standard button closure. took me some time to come around on the aggressive crotch zip but i think it works better on these pants than on other more tech-y silhouettes like P38 and definitely looks better than the weird 2-way aquaguard zip on the P47-DS. i do think these would look even better with a normal fly but its not a big deal for me. range of motion is completely unrestricted despite the pants having way less paneling/visible articulation compared to most other Acronym trousers. went with size S which is my normal size and they fit like they were tailored for me. i had originally bought the new P10-DS and ended up returning them to pick these up instead, definitely happy with that decision. dont sleep on these.

I've been living in my 400T since January. Just wore them on a two week trip, traveling all over Vietnam. Gave them their first wash when I got home the other day, so I'll post some pics soon. Here's a friend who happened to be in Tokyo during my layover and I at Hinoya. I've got the 400T on, as well as the denim traveling shirt:

Got a shipment email today for the Cat's Drive jeans. Earlier than expected, looking forward to seeing other's impressions!

No grav pockets for ws likely due to how light the fabric is. for the arm, The fabric is doubled. Outside later px then ws layered underneath.

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.

to clarify: as mentioned in waywt thread; 132 is from raw, 125 ‘achilles’ overdye; both start from very different places and i think the overdyed pair may have room to expand yet ie expecting a little more stretch in the 125 fr, ma thic butt has already done its work on the br… the measurements here; https://www.shopneighbour.com/products/tender-mens-125-high-straight-jeans-16oz-selvage-denim-x-achilles-heel are pretty accurate to what came through the post… and yes @julian-wolf your summary is pretty spot on: 125 is slimmer in seat and hips, but not awkwardly so… the 132 pretty much hangs on by the belt… different strokes…

Mister Freedom / OA / Tender Just recently turned 40, I think I’m looking a little more tired. But feeling pretty good.

plus as @julian-wolf was asking difference in 125 vs 132 here they are together (both sz 5, 125 the unfaded one) to get a sense of the different cut / pattern… one big difference other than thigh-knee-hem is back pocket size…

just posting up some 132 pix… fit, fade, denim quality… worn from raw… not hugely washed…

bartlebyyphonics, I do have a 300T Sharkhunter (which is nice, but larger), but also this SUB 300 Shark. It was issued for Doxa's 50th Anniversary and is similar to your 300, except for the white minute hand and scale in feet instead of meters.

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.

Bubo / Ballpark / Tender x3 / Hollows / Russell @bartlebyyphonics Both fits going off, as expected How do you like the 125 compared to the 132? Does it feel much slimmer up top, in practice?

thank you; good to be back! haven’t been posting as been lured by the call of the actually water proof and effecient warmth-to-weight ratio: charity shopped musto and folk wool-fleece as evidence… (gorpxyachtcore) back to spring back to denims: think have found a good partner to the tcb 40s jacket: tender 125 (‘achilles’ over-dye: natural indigo not woad methinks)

Still waiting on my patch material to finally call these complete, but I got rivets installed today and decided to get some fit pics. Very happy with the copper rivets on black denim. The denim was unsanforized, so I washed it on hot and dried it on high twice before sewing, so with any luck they should continue to fit this way. Bummed I had to wait for rivets and patch material because I could have knocked these out in a week if it weren't for the wait. Oh well. Also decided I'm gonna make a pair for my brother for his birthday because I had so much fun on this pair. I'll make sure to document that pair here as well when the time comes 😎

Shameless self-promotion. My band put out an LP today. Straightforward hardcore FFO Lockin Out Records type shit.

@Geeman Biggest factor for me is that I don’t have a large rear end and the seat of my jeans is not particularly snug - so when I sit, the wallet pushes off to the side and I’m not actually sitting on top of it. In certain seats and for long periods it can be uncomfortable having the wallet “pushing” into the side of my rear, such as driving long distances; but in that case I’d take it out and sit in my lap or next to my leg. The chain helps me avoid forgetting it’s there and walking off without it! In my experience, this also seemed to be the case observing long wallets in Japan, most of the Amekaji guys aren't wearing snug-fitting pants, and often take out the wallet when they sit down. Sure maybe it comes across as more trouble than it's worth, but there are far crazier ways people "suffer for the sake of fashion," and since I don't care much for/feel strange wearing much conventional jewelry/bling, the wallet stuff adds a unique flavor to my look that you just don't ever see around where I live. It's very much a love-it-or-hate-it type of look, but you can probably guess which side I'm on

I used to wear wallet reins.I tried solid leather ropes, brass and box weave over the years Wallet wasn't as excessive as this, it was an OGL mid (just poked out over the top of my back pocket) lovely piece of kit that aged beautifully. Still love it now 12 years in..... But I had to admit they just aren't practical or comfortable. Even my relatively slim wallet was uncomfortable to sit on on long journeys, the reins can get caught on door handles etc and one of my rein/hooks damaged the leather on my car seat. I admire the quality and craftsmanship of this set up but it just can't be practical or comfortable for daily use? (Even referring to it as a set up feels to much effort for keys and wallet!) No personal criticism intended CS.

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.

There’s a common theme with my updated collection of caps. Sold my navy HW and Langlitz recently. HW, HW, Harley, Challenger Marfa, Jackson’s

did some hand repairs. Not pretty but was fun to try.

Yes, it's the wide version of 0105. I have them in 31. I have the old tapered version of 0105 in a 30. I would guess that the 31 in actually spot on at about an inch bigger in the waist, so they're sizing the same. It stretches the same too, quickly, easily and a little more than a half inch. I tried on the SS24 11.5oz 0105 and Type 1 the other day. It's unbelievably soft and drapes beautifully. I have one of each on order for their release this spring. I don't know what sizes as the samples fit perfectly and I just said "whatever those sizes are."
