Finally! I was waiting fo this for so long. So it will be delayed.

Yeah so it is basically an "arms race".

Guys, I drive a Toyota Aygo to commute on the German Autobahn (if you ever hear about a traffic jam, that's me in front of the crowd!). Ok, the main reason is that Sara has the bigger car to transport the kids but I am totally with @Double 0 Soul and I hate this SUV trend (is it still a trend if it is present for over 10 years?!). I literally can't see shit when I'm behind them, it makes overtaking them more challenging We are looking for a new car soon to replace the Toyota and it's the same situation: we want a smaller car for commuting but car companies really mainly focus on oversized stuff.

I'd wish TCB would do more t-shirts with Sure Mfg. My Caturday tee is probably my favourite in terms of fit. If I onlw knew which version that would be on the XX Development/Sure MfG website it is, I would order it. And if it would be in stock...

@AlientoyWorkmachine how are your linen jeans coming along?

Denime - Merz - Ooe - Duke - Nike

The size US10.5 didn't work for me. Burg&Schild said you should size up by 0.5 compared to Red Wing sizes (I am US9.5 in Red Wing) so a size US10 would have been the "right size". But these felt more like 1 size too big so a US9.5 would have been right I think. So back they go and anyone interested can grab these for 250€ when they are back in stock.

1" on top of the raw measurements or 1" back after washing? The later, for sure. The former could happen but I wouldn't risk it.

@TripicalMidbooster Welcome to Sufu! Arket/Lee/Ooe Yofukuten/Duke (hidden)/Truman Boots

Price aside (which is way too high), it's nice to see LVC branch a bit out.

Denime 10th anniversary in a good size (not so good price). https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/auction/yahoo/input/1156123203/ The batch number is nice though

Better!

I think the pair belongs originally to @Flash

Great looking 1966s! And @indigoeagle, that could be an explanation. But yeah, they are definitely washed already.

I dig it! Especially with the worn in jeans!

Just looked at your prices again. You should have bought at retail then, was roughly 215£ 😅

I just ordered the Brother Bridge Escape from Burg&Schild. 50% off. Maybe half a size bigger than what I usually would do. Let's see if it fits. If not, they go back

We do have another version for the patch in case the majority prefers that one...

Back at work...not such a beautiful view as above 🙄 Arket - SC1946 - Duke - Converse

That's how I understood it. They gave the same banner to Kurabo and they examined it based on this added 10% brown(ish) cotton to the yarns. On Instagram they have some posts talkoing about it. Basically that the cotton was less clean back in the days. You are right, there are more brands featuring a brownish weft. Or rather natural/unbleached weft. UES is one of them. I think what play a bigger role is on which actual model they base their whole procution line on? How many example pairs did they study? In which condition was the sample pair. A good (or rather bad) example is the TCB 40s. The sample pair was one worn down pair in size 28 (or smaller?!) and they based the whole pattern of the run on this sample. The counter example would be FW which uses several pairs of different sizes to create a pattern. Something I heard from @Duke Mantee and Seiichiro. And it is very likely that fits are still tweaked so they will fit the targeted customer base better.

Ah okay. I saw you writing SC MiUSA and thought you have the other ones in mind. Reasonable prices really? Haven't seen those yet The SDA D1708 has a similar design but with 2 pigs of course. Still I think there is a version with 3 tigers as well.

Neat Style calls their rougher WW2 models also "Kiwami". So maybe they just used the word as a reference and it's no brand or such.

This design of tigers tearing on a pair of jeans looks so familiar...I know I have seen it before but can't remember right now. Will dig Edit: @Double 0 Soul by the way those jeans are 1:1 copies to the Sugar Cane 1943 models (jeans and jackets) which were released this spring. SC49009 and SC19008

Not really unknown but I don't think Canton has its own thread here? https://jp.mercari.com/item/m74426806089 Seeing "Oishi Trading Company": is there a connection to Oishi-san of Oni denim?

All the info you need is here : But yes, lower rise than the WH version, but more hip flare/wider hips. In general a rounder top block. At least for the XX model. The 66XX was also quite trim back then. I would still say it was a repro brand and not modernized.
