Lot.220A coming along

The whole song or just the title?

Based on the inseam there is still some good shrinkage left in the fabric.

These waited for me at my parent's house They feel quite slim but look wider in these pics

100% cotton stitching vs. poly-cotton stitching I was always an advocate for 100% cotton stitching but I slowly embrace the beauty of having to repair less After wondering why I have never broken stitches and now knowing that Resolute 710 is sewn with poly-cotton I appreciate it more. Also because the jeans till pucker in all the right places and the stitching still ages along the jeans. Looking forward to the Mepse BigE which also uses poly-cotton stitching and how it helds up and will look.

By the way, Mepse posted a 10% off coupon for orders through their Base.shop..maybe something the proxy service could use as well.

Good deal for a Orizzonti 66 (W32) https://jp.mercari.com/item/m42988000280

I always use FromJapan (except once I tried Buyee to order from Mercari because of a coupon). With FromJapan I can adjust the value and they also offered a 1,000 Yen coupon for purchases over 20,000 Yen so why not?!

I did exactly that yesterday and now have to wait roughly a month until he will finish the BigE model I ordered. Will let you guys know hiw it works out

Not really a Chino but should still fit in here, Two Moon Westpoint Pants. Bought from @indigoeagle

TCB - Two Moon - Duke - Vans

Do tell, I must have missed (or more likely forgot) it.

@Geeman I would just ask the shop to measure the specific pair for you. Use the charts from BEARS or Sapporo Base as a starting point

The pics don't show for me, unfortunately. Against my initial plan and better judgement I ordered a 714 some time ago. Took some time to produce a new run and get the signature. Now waiting for them to arrive

Merz - Denime - Vans (soon the be replaced by Asahi)

I bought a size up in the Asahi. Will let you know once I really wear them.

You could look at Novesta, I think it's the same factory in Slovakia where RoF is produced but they are cheaper. Or you check military surplus stores. In terms of history I can't tell you which factory/brand made the original ones in the first place but they are very similar to Adidas Samba so..

By that logic we all should be buying Levi's

@Broark As you know I went for the standard look and honestly that's a waste of money. They do look nice but the stitching is not perfect, the leather on the tongue is already rubbing off in some places, the leather lining stains your socks...I should have bought the original BW shoe Of course they are quite expensive: produced in the EU to be shipped to Japan to be shipped back to the EU. In terms of sizing, I sized them same as I were sized by the Bundeswehr: 275 which translates to your footlength in mm and would also equal a EU43

Usually next day

I really like the look of them! I just don't think they would look good in my wardrobe and jeans all the time

FromJapan when possible

They look identical

Doek 28, Asahi 27 A 27.5 would be better in Asahi

They are just slightly lower than the Lot.220, right? So you probably have to get the 66 as well as I expect them to have a lower rise
