Similar happened to me a few years back in a motorbike accident. I had to have a few good bits chopped me including a barbour international I'd just rewaxed, a valencia st type 2 that was barely worn in, warehouse sweatshirt and a momotaro chambray. I was most upset about the type 2, and shattered collarbone of course. Hope you have a quick and straightforward recovery.

Has anyone tried the Allevol raglan sleeve sweats sold through Clutch cafe? Very tempted by the grey marl in the hope they fit short and boxy.

I've got a couple of older ones from Cushman. They may still do 'em.🤷♂️

So ignored the advice and went for these in a sz32. I gave them their shrink today. Was much more cavalier than usual and just bunged them straight into a 40 degree wash. Sometimes you just have to live on the edge. As anticipated, the waist didn't shrink massively but that gives me a reason to maybe dabble in a new belt. I did take before and after pics, but my phone's camera is pretty ropey so i won't bother sharing them. Before/after measurements as follows: Waist: 17.5"/16.5 Front rise: 13.25/12.5 Rear rise: 17.25/16.5 Thigh:12.75/12.25 Inseam: 35/33.5 Leg opening. 9/8.75 Will whip a couple of inches off the leg tomorrow and crack on with them.

Thanks. Maybe I'll go down a size as a precaution.

I've been eyeing up a pair of the '46 dsb S1001xx (1000xx), size 32. When comparing against other models in the same tagged size (for example '47 1001xx, or a pair of the 1000's) the waist on the S1001's seems quite a bit bigger. A good inch or so across the width. Does this model shrink any more than the others hence they're bigger on purpose, or is it a sizing anomaly?

SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
Mr Black replied to minya's topic in superdenim
@AlientoyWorkmachine We're probably the closest to the St Pauls area. I'm working in the shop (son of a stag) on tues & Weds this week. It's generally quiet enough on those days to be done while you wait- or grab a coffee while it's being done if you prefer. I'm in the workshop (soldier blue) doing repairs on Mon & thurs. It's only 7 mins or so from the shop and would happily pop over to do it. Feel free to DM if you have any questions. Martin -
Denim Blunders, Reflections and General Nonsense.

I'd never questioned it 'til today.

Here's a (possibly stupid) question for you, more specifically about vintage levis rather than lvc. So we all know the S in the s501, s506 etc is the wartime denomination. But what does the 'S' actually stand for? Is it 'Simplified' perhaps. Anyone know for sure?
