on the topic of inconsistent sizing, the inseam on my size 2 107s is longer than my size 3s. go figure.

^ slim fit goals. Hayashi San would approve I think

nope - needs the tiny 2cm single cuff.

does anyone own the 1919 cords? what's sizing like?

i love hats but they don't always love me.

my favourite cap out of several dozen i own is either a '47 brand red sox (the sox logo, not the 'b') or my kapital old man and the sea. unfortunately i have a massive head so regularly need to use a hat stretcher, although even then sometimes it isn't enough.

watch caps, beanies etc are often tricky for me too as material is often an issue as opposed to size. 100% wool is too irritable on my forehead and scalp due to my eczema. i own a buzz one in 100% worsted wool which is completely unwearable, although a 60/40 armorlux and a wtaps in 'coolmax' are tolerable. acrylic is the best on my skin but most of the aforementioned labels avoid it for obvious reasons (lesser heat retention etc).

i wear a buzz or TCB daisy mae on super hot days here to protect my ears and neck. i want something with a wider brim, though. any suggestions?

how noticeable is the difference in D and EE widths in rw moc toes?  i have the 8138s in 11D but think a EE would be more comfortable. however, i live in australia so getting a pair in EE width shipped here is almost impossible. the alternative is obviously getting 11.5D, but width is the main issue.

lee - sleeve length is perfect. i wouldn't size up.

i went to hinoya last week and they were sold out of all three items i was interested in: buzz hat, whitesville cardigan, burgus jacket.

Gotta love that. I would get them if I could justify it, but after a while I just want something different, new. idk. I love seeing fades and jeans that no one else has. Keeps the hunt fresh and brings me back to a time when jeans just weren't so available.

i still remember your old signature.

do the 710s have wider thighs than the orslow 107?

gonna be in tokyo for just over a week in november. hit me up if you wanna get coffee or whatever.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ve always wanted to try Kapital but I’ve been scared off that I’m a US 12 and most Japanese guys don’t have feet that big. Maybe they’re not too small?

i'm the same size - kapital socks are even smaller than chup. i pretty much wear uniqlo socks exclusively these days.

drew k from this very own forum got away with over $100k scot-free under his TOJ label. has this WH dude fleeced even more than that with his "orders" taking 5 or whatever years? wouldn't be surprised if this all turns into TOJ 2.0 if it hasn't already.

edit: i had a very positive experience with TOJ before it all went to shit. nonetheless, drew ripped off an absurd amount of people with pretty much zero real world consequence.

Just curious, do most of you on here who buy one wash styles usually wash the denim before first wear?  I've been debating this regarding my new one wash pair from Trophy regarding hemming and shrinkage.

i just wear them.

with the exception of bed sheets, i exclusively wash all my clothing in cold water and don't have any issues.

How can the bezel be misaligned?

it's somewhat common in everything from seiko divers to rolex subs.

edit: wrong thread.

cross-post from the TCB thread: do you think i could hot soak just the sleeves on a 50s jacket to get some shrinkage (i'm only after 1-2cm), or will it have zero effect since it's OW?

if you hand wash in cold water you'll be fine, julian. i very rarely wash sweaters anyway.

it seems like every pair of 710s eventually get some crazy leg twist.
