Most likely already discussed but...

How to size Moonstar sneakers compared to Chuck 70s, Doek (the same as it's the same company?!), Nike Kills hot, Vans?

A better colour comparison with my SC1945

What mills exist in Japan? Do you think anyone will step up and take over?

I don’t know about any of the mills, really curious where all my jeans come from now. The ones that really stood out to me were my pbj’s slub and my flatheads vertical fading 

There are several known mills. And probably several we never heard of 😅

Nihon Menpu, Kuroki, Kaihara, Collect, Shinya, Shinotex and some I just forgot 

What I don't get yet: they discontinue the "Basic Series" because Kurabo closes down.
But they will continue with the "XX series" which are also made of denim from Kurabo? Or will they just switch the WH Banner denim then?
Questions upon questions

Back in those contest jeans. The overall colour is lighter than the pics show

The Merz b.Schwanen  tend to have a strange crease in the chest area. This can also be seen on Carmy:

I think it's probably caused by the small shoulder measurements of the Merz tshirts. 

We will see how the Whitesville will fit after wash

Edit: agreed with the prices of Merz. I think i bought all my tshirts on sale.

Been in that area last weekend, funny enough. Good weather and plum season, you should check out the "zwetschgendatschi", local speciality in the Kinzigtal.

Where are you staying, if I may ask? Might be worth it stopping by in france. Should be a 40 minute drive max.

We are in Zell. Strasbourg is an option we considered. 

We had the other famous local cake already

Psssh, those are rookie numbers. 

Doesn't make it any better for me 😅

If it's one-wash as you stated, the residue shrink will mainly happen in the inseam. The shrink in the waist will usually stretch back. The legs will go snugger with future washes but not too drastic 

Yep, let's give all our stuff to little Maynard!

Nice jeans @Broark

Anyone copping this 😉?  It was shared by a friend

From a friend, for a friend 😅

Congratulations! This thread needs all the pictures! The auction really wasn't that busy, lucky you. Might have been my size but I didn't partake 😅

Thanks for posting!

How are his patterns? What are the measurements?

Some weeks ago. They come with a tab, I verified it as well before ordering. 

See my pair,  they do

Nope, the Gardener are really that dark.

I think this fit was exactly what FullCount wanted to achieve with their re-design of the fits?! Several pages back, there was a link to another website explaining eveything of the re-design.

Edit: found it https://ogbros.jp/fullcount_new_jeans/

Gardener outside 

I always liked GoWest from the old Lightning magazines

I hope the water entering this pic comes from a faucet... 😅

Some interesting info regarding the denim they used on the jackets (I thought it would be standard XX but it's the WW2 denim).
I also read before the 15th anniversary pair should use the WW2 denim but it is not said on the homepage, yet the description of the denim sounds the same.

Too bad we don't have info regarding the Orizzonti era

thanks to @dennnnnnnnn
