Mr Black

did you experience much shrinkage?

Just arrived. They're the JB0701. Look nice, but nothing special.

Undecided what to do as i've got at least 3 other pairs of jeans that need wearing in.

Hmmm

Annoyingly the website didn't specify the model number. They just detailed them as a slim straight. They'll be with me in a day or so, so i'll update then.

Wondering if I was a bit too quick on the trigger

Must check their returns policy.

Ah, them's the breaks!! 

Really? That's exactly how we used to do it down south

We always wondered why the northern rockabillies were so poorly dressed with their jackets worn in the 'traditional' manner.

It would help if you weren't hiding the jeans with that jacket!!

Fingers crossed. Will update on arrival

Psst- don't forget the sugarcane/wrangler 11mj & pherrows sweat

Can anyone help identify what model of Momotaro's these are...

It's all a little vague. I've tried to have a look around on the web to see what models have donut buttons, no branding etc but have drawn a bit of a blank.

In eagerness I've already pulled the trigger and they're on their way to me. At that amazing price it seemed too good a deal to pass up but now i'm wondering what i've bought

**Edit. Have done some better digging around. they seem to be some form of lower grade diffusion line. will have to see what they're like when they arrive.

Anyone got any experience of the fading on these?

would you ship to the UK?

Badum. Tish

You'll find the print will transfer onto your speedo's.

It's a bike hire system. I've not personally used one but they're VERY popular and probably a great way to tour the city if you have good road sense.

If the weather's as good as it is now, Take a stroll to the top of Primrose hill & watch the world go by, then wander down to the canal. Stroll along to little venice

You tell me this now? My dream of one day owning the largest collection of nylon scraps now seems trivial.

Emotionally raped.

It's good to have dreams, no matter how unrealistic they may be

Bit of a long shot, but I've got some tab-less 47's on their way to me and I'd really like to add a tab.

Does anyone have a contact at sugarcane I could drop line to, to see If they'd be willing to send me one?

Yep- will put up the pics as soon as the jacket arrives with me.

(nods) Yup!

This doesn;t help you much, but I recently bought a McCoys Ballpark sweat off ebay. Nice & lightweight for those balmy evenings we have to endure over here.

You know it's not going to last over here. This time next month you'll be pulling out your winter gear again

Now that's what we're talking about.

Really liked the cut of the 551 when it came out some years back but stopped short of getting a pair.

Will def be picking up some this time round.

After many years of humming and hawing... should I get this, should i get that,  do I like this better, so I like that better, Do I need any more jackets, can I afford any more jackets... will my wife kill me? Will my kids go shoeless...

I've finally picked up a pretty cheap G-1 off ebay. It's not arrived as yet but i'm already aware from the sellers pics & listing that there's no inner label and the zip needs some attention. It will be getting a clean & conditioning treatment when I get it so i'll post up befores & afters.

I have a very limited knowledge of these things but a 'hunch' makes me think it's probably early to mid-60's.

With the lack of makers label etc, is there any way of dating the jacket and potentially identifying the manufacturer with little tell-tale details here & there?

Have you tried looking on the internet? I've heard it's quite popular.

Bumping

would you be interested in a swap for some Eternal 811's?
