rocco

Package from SSJ is finally on the way. Fifth or sixth time I'm doing business with them, always a pleasure. I'm sure any delays are not their fault. They have a bit of a situation in their country, haven't they.

beautiful rocco, you're welcome, looking forward to the evo. We should get a couple more people together and wear em and show em. no rules, no prizes, no fuss. I'd buy another pair in a minute!

edit - rocco, were they raw or did he have to order them?

This guy Naoki Ohno from PSA told me he had them raw. I ended up ordering through Sharp Service because I wanted to buy a few more items through them and they'll get a raw pair for me from Pants Shop Avenue, if I understood things correctly.

Tomakealongstoryshort: yes!

A good thing to hear from you, because when you look for the raw ones on Google or Rakuten, you just don't find them (I didn't). I'll keep you posted!

rocco - try Pants Shop Avenue - I think they're raw and if not, he's cool and may be able to order them for you.

They're almost on their way to me - thanks a lot!

Thanks man, I'll check it out.

I'm still looking for a pair or Rainbow Okis (SC 40701 if I'm not mistaken) in size 33 RAW. It seems only the one wash version is available in Japan, but I'm sure raw versions do exist. Don't they?

I can totally recommend them. I'll wear them as long as weather permits, because I guess they'll be to warm for summer.

I'm interested in buying a pair APC Rescus I'm 6'2 225 I wear a size 38 should I size down 2 or 3 size???

I sized down 3 on my Rescues (31 from 34), could have sized down 4 of really necessary.

wow that sucks. how are you fixing? is it as simple as hammering it back on?

Haha, I guess not, the thing broke off. A professional should place a new button I think.

Aaaiiieee, one of the fly buttons just came off.... Let's see if it can be repaired.

I just found that tab too. Nice. Now soaking!

Mine have been shipped!

It's actually the USD valuation declining than the Yen increasing in value. The AUD is worth more than the USD at the moment!

It's a bit of both perhaps. When I bought my Sugarcane SC40600 some three years ago the 60.900 yen translated to a little under 400 euros. Now that would be over 540 euros (and 738 US dollars). I almost fainted when I noticed that.

I'm looking to purchase a N-1 Deck Jacket and stumbled upon a jacket made by "Houston". Anyone familiar with the brand? If not I'd appreciate some suggestions. I'd really like one with the hook/clasps.

I'm perfectly happy with my Buzz Rickson deck jacket, best jacket I've ever owned!

Does any one know if the mock twist chambray from Buzz Rickson shrinks? Specifically the black one. Thanks

I wonder myself... Just ordered one from Selfedge. They claim it does not shrink, and I'm inclined to believe them. But I could tell you for sure in a while.

Now that Selfedge has restocked the FH wabash work shirt, and a 42 is on it's way to me, it's time to sell my size 40. Just tried on, then decided it was too small for me. Fits a little bit smaller than my other sz 40 FH shirts. Anyone interested?

Rocco, Braid, awesome stuff.albeit with very different styles. + rep to both.

That wasn't me, that was Ethandesu. I do have the same jacket and watch cap (both Buzz Rickson) though. And a beard too...

An old pic, but I'm hoping this pic will get into the August or September Free & Easy..

You forgot to mention the Buzz Rickson deck hook jacket - a magnificent piece in my book. Looks good on you!

I'd still give a finger for a properly sized MF deck jacket. Non wash.

I can't imagine another winter without my Buzz Rickson deck hook jacket, on which both the MFSC and this J. Crew one are clearly based. Warm, comfy, stylish. Still widely available I guess.

I'm in doubt, Is this the camo version or not? I got mine now (in the right size, thanks for the advice), it's a nice subtle camo print.

Heyy, i like this!

Kiya, fuck you for even having handled the hand woven SC40600!

I own those, haha, do you hate me too now? I guess you can still get them from Japan.

one-wash is rather harsh, but it won't make the denim fragile or more prone to damage. water and heat are a lot less harmful for denim than months upon months of built-up nut sweat. trust.

I know I know, but I just love the ritual of soaking, wearing when damp etcetera.

CRAFT in La, carries them. I was there a few weeks ago, and they were even 20% off. Very cool store and nice folks...

Thanks. A while ago I contacted Craft, but they were out of size 33 by then. I'll get in touch with them once more then.

these are not mine but maybe someone else wants them????????

Unfortunately they are one wash. Does anyone know where to cop those Okinawa Rainbows sz 33 raw?

Rescues look great cuffed imo.

Yeah, that too. I was comparing Cash's version of Ain't No Grave with the version that Brother Claude Ely did:

I was talking about the new album by Joanna Newsom as well, a true masterpiece.
