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.
Tbh I'd rock that pizza-censored patch. If anyone is looking that closely at your ass during work, you either gotta take 'em out or report them to HR, no in between.
The 232XX-54 jacket still looks interesting, might pick it up depending on the measurements when it drops. But browner weft banner denim seems right up my alley since who knows when Warehouse is gonna restock their 2002XX in banner.
I'm a 31 in SC'47s and wanted to size down to a size 32 in the WMJ contest pair... but I didn't have the conviction to follow through. The right path is usually the hardest path 😅
