These bad boys are pretty true to size then? Spiral's description makes it seem like the waist fits looser than tagged size, but your waist measurements seem pretty spot on to the label.
How do people typically go about removing that tag above the leather label? I just purchased the 1945 101 and just tore it off thinking there were perforations, but I damn near tore the entire stitching out trying to remove the label.
A long shot, but anybody have an idea of the shrinkage on the denim used for the Lot 215 Type 2 jacket? Kinda in between sizes depending on the amount of shrinkage. Also, is the denim on all of the jackets same? E.g. the 118J, 147J and this lot 215.
Damn, I must really be easy on my jeans because I feel like these jeans don't fade at all. Been wearing them ~5 days a week since the comp started and I can barely see anything lightening up.
If anyone's going to order from Standard & Strange, I have a $140 gift card code I'm trying to offload for $100. I'll post up a screenshot of the balance in a bit.
Anybody pick up one of these bad boys?

I wasn't going to buy any jeans until WOMCOM was over but couldn't help myself. Not sure if I sized correctly because the size charts are all over the map, and Warehouse is quoting 7-8cm of shrinkage in the waist lol.
Pardon the hasty work-restroom photo, I'll get some with better lighting later. Fit is what I was looking for, slimmer than I thought it'd be though. Hopefully the waist stretches back out 0.5-1 inch for comfort.
Finally gave these a piping hot wash and machine dry, the puckering/roping is crazy and the leather seems to have held up well enough. I did rub a little Obenauf's on it which I haven't done to patches in almost 20 years. Plus, I got two belt loops with selvedge which was a nice little surprise.
If these jeans fit, I'll be wearing them minimum five days a week for 12-16 hours... thing is, I have jeans I've worn for the same duration for one-plus years and they've barely faded 😂 I'm in this for the love of the game.
Starting from what size were vintage Type IIs made with a T-back? Deciding if I should go full-on short boxy cut with Mepse's size 52 since the sleeve lengths still look good...
Looks good on ya! Nice short boxy fit which I think looks best for denim jackets. I have the opposite problem where I want my jackets short (less than 24 inches ideally) but the sleeves end up being too short if I try to size based on back length.
