do you think i could hot soak just the sleeves to get some shrinkage (i'm only after 1-2cm), or will it have zero effect since it's OW?

just received my 50s jacket in OW, size 42. fits well, although the sleeves are a hair longer than i would like. probably the first time i've experienced this issue with japanese garments.

i assume it's from the wash process, but all of my buttons look pristine with the exception of one which is super rusty. did anyone else's arrive like this?

Better to gauge your sizing by chest measurement than from others. I am 82 kg with a 103/104 cm bare chest and the 42 fits fine.

thanks - my chest is about 100cm exactly which is just under 40". do you think a 42 is better than a 40?

can i get some sizing advice on the 50s jacket? 6'1/80kg - was gonna get a 40 but maybe 42 would be better? don't want the sleeves to be too long which is why i'm hesitant to go up a size.

edit: just read some 5'11/75kg dude bought a 44. what the fuck...

kobayashi is around 60ish (from memory) + incredibly wealthy, so i'm not surprised he's calling it a day.

spitfiredealer reminds me of OG farmer. they even have similar physical features.

sup. skulls. vans. (10).

yeah, dryers are definitely very US centric: most americans i've met seem to to use them for absolutely everything. in the UK and australia i've owned a dryer as well, but like MF i only ever really use it for towels and bed sheets. i could easily go without one if needed.

woof.

i'm in sydney next week for a day. best place for solo (early) dinner?

make sure you do the played out cigarette photo shoot asap.

washed my 107s for the first time and most of the rivets now have patches of green! this pair must have way more copper as it has never happened to me in a decade of wearing japanese denim (inc a previous pair of 107s in a smaller size).

i personally wouldn't size up regardless of the material.

anyone waiting years is insane. dude is absolutely taking the piss.

i saw blood of wolves here at the canberra japan film festival and thought it was super weak despite the strong reviews (plus i love alot of the cast - shimada!)

was just in tokyo and randomly recalled the du who had his own thread teaching how to pull bitches and hung out in roppongi with wack fits. 

dj rajio?

the absurd prices aren't surprising considering their target audience: the styleforum 'classic' crowd (lots of dude in finance etc) eat this shit up.

A lot of GMT’s lately...BLRO and Flat Head 

never been a fan of the jubilee unless its on a super dressy watch. would look so much better on anything else (oyster, nato, even rubber) imo.

that's cool. i can tolerate up to 5c or something, anything below is probably too cold for me.

are you talking about F or C!?

i didn't think monsoons in january was even a possibility.

might do a week in taipei during january - how brutal is winter?

i'm hesitant because i'm 6'1 and worry that it will be super cropped and/or the arms will be too long. tossing up between a 38 and a 40...
