and now it's your turn @Dr_Heech!

Happy birthday young man

Thanks for the reminder.

Happy birthday @Maynard Friedman !

The better question would be, who doesn't? 😅

These flannel pocket bags look very familiar...

Ok, now a serious answer. I really think they cater to a different audience.

All in all the Freewheelers are probably the better jeans. Cleaner construction, high quality materials, better pattern, more unique denim.
The CSF really focus on the "authenticity" even if this means deliberately including failures. But (as you think as well @Dr_Heech ) using the period correct sewing machines and using the same sewing techniques is
something you won't find on other jeans on this level.

Price-wise the FW clearly win as you get a lot for your money and you don't pay a dick

But in the end, the best jeans is the one that fits you best and which you want to put on each day and that's why I said SC 1946

You'd better let me take those 'honeymoon' jeans off you then 🤣

You would need to take my wife then as well 😅

Dunimuuu!

@DC2020 that's a great fit!

^ Sugarcane 1946

Thanks!

Nope, nearly no twist on my pair

@yung_flynn Usually you see the hidden selvedge in the coin pocket on pairs up to the 60s. Sometimes with peek-a-boo selvedge. But that's surely not a hard rule as you can see with your Warehouse. My Lb40s also don't have the selvedge in the coin pocket. I am pretty sure not all Levi's were the same as well.

Did someone mention they are doing another run of these in the spring? Looking forward to everyone's thoughts on the fit. Love the 'stovetop' waist flare. 

Yep, they already have the 1946 listed for restock on their homepage in March 

@JMS what are the shoulder measurements of the SugarCane 1937 Type 1? I fear a size 40 will be too small for me but you never know.

BTW, the 1946 model is already planned for a restock in March. In case anybody missed out.

@tooth thanks for the measurements! Where do you measure the thighs though? 12" sounds tiny for a W33 so I don't think it's at the crotch?
 

@MJF9 The back rise really sounds rather small but that's nice for me (I hope). Will find out tomorrow.

I love the denim and the details

Pease wait for BF for the professional review 

Will have to wait until at least Saturday.

The German counterpart of EMS is really not so good

They look nice!

Finally, after more than a week without update my pair arrived in Germany. Now just waiting for DHL to deliver them.

I think we already mentioned LEEarth here?

If not, have a look:

These small brands are popping up more and more 

With BEARS you now they measured the jeans themselves (accoridng to their guide). With Celluloid I believe they just copied the numbers provided by Warehouse

Already done  

My size 34 shrank from 35" to 33" after two washes (and stretched back). 2.5" is probably possible if you wash hotter and/or use a dryer.
Also shrinkage is a percentual thing. A 40" waist is more likely to shrink 2.5" than a 28" waist.
