  1. Does anyone have any post-soak measurements of the mechanics shirt?

    I generally wear shirts with a 21" p2p...

    Also, has anyone picked this up from JCrew? Anyone know anything about the sizing on those? ...

    Thanks for any help.

    first, do some searching on rakuten for MF garments. japan generally likes their garments "onewash" to get the uncertianty from shrinkage out of the way so they are generally a good reference for the "washed" measurements. look up porky's or bananafish they usually get most MF pieces.

    then, call MF or SE...

    if it helps i wear 42 in all FH, with a chest that fluctuates between 42 and 43" and all five MF shirts i have are sz L i bought in the raw state. after a couple washes it will be around sz 42

  2. how does the sizing of wolverines compare with Redwings? i was thinking of getting a pair was well. thanks

    same. 1/2 size down. i even have a small insole in mine and they fit perfect. i have a pair of black 1000 mile and the leather is quite thick and feels quite substantial. will try and put a few pictures up if i can get around to it in a timely manner.

  3. FS brand new (just recieved saturday 01 May) The Strike Gold SG1101 denim as seen here. fit is very similar to Samurai S5000VX but denim is even more irregular than samurai's texas cotton blend, i would say at least as slubby as Oni.

    bit of a mis quote on the website for waist size as it appears the fit shrinks from tagged size, not to tagged. i am TTS 31-32 waist (wear 31 in FH F380 and 32 in IH S634 comfortably) and these fit perfect pre-soak if not just a bit tight in the waist with the same profile as my lot 10 S5000. unfortunately i'm iterested in neither a bruised waist nor the inability to evr really put these through the wash if i need to..

    am putting them up for one day as i cant get back thome to put these in the post until tomorrow and would rather not pay return shipping to Japan if i can avoid it. if they dont sell today i will just send them back

    measure: 31.5 waist, 12.1 thigh, about 8.5 hem

    i will try and have someone take a couple of pictures tonight but the link above may be better as it gives a good fit picture

    would be perfect for true 30 waist or a masochist (from WAYWT it appears there are many of you out there on this forum..)

    cost: $275 shipping to USA (paypal gift only or add 4%)

  4. Sorry, all those DB shirts are SENY only and i'm leaving for Vegas from SF tomorrow morning. When do you get in?

    You going to the Wild Records party at the Hard Rock tomorrow night?

    was trying to but we dont get in until around 10-11pm now. had to push the flight back last minute to accomodate more work....delightful.. be pretty tired by the time we get there but I ought to be going through the night so i may catch a cab down.

  5. dont suppose you have any, at SESF that is, of the 3 shirts from DB shown a few pages backshown as new arrivals at SENY. need to fit a size 42 chest (generally 40 in DB from past exp) . need a couple more good 50's ish shirts for VLV. just had to send a few back to japan because of an odd fit and i am feeling a bit of last minute SOL on my luck for the atire for this event..

  6. Who's going to Viva Las Vegas from Sufu?

    Normally is just Get Smart, Rivet Head, and myself that i know of from Superfuture that go to this thing..

    http://vivalasvegas.net/

    i'll be there this year. tried unsuccessfully for the last few years, but finally not letting work get in the way this time. didnt you say somewhere you bought the shop a bel air? gonna bring it to the car show?

  7. It's going to be heavy weight..

    But more importantly, you're going to VLV?!?!

    Have you been before? I've seen you posting here before many times but didn't realize you went to VLV..

    you'll be there it sounds like? gonna be so damn good. screwed up this year though and though i wouldnt make it until late january and lo and beholdtried to amke reservations and the orleans sold out again in december so i'm at the gold coast... ahwell i dont really plan on sleeping for four or five days anyway...

    sorry guys gotta keep it IH.. pics of the overdyes coming tomorrow just lazy tonight

  8. Yup.. they're being released in batches a week or so apart in March.

    Also, next week is coming the first IH workshirt ever made in a super heavy black/gray flannel, the pattern/colors/weight/feel was designed by Self Edge.

    damn those look nice, and now this.. will this blk/gry be the standard heavy flannel or with a weight geared to spring?

    this is killing me... your going to take all my VLV drink money ...

  9. Hey Kiya - if I were going to drop some serious dough on either the black IH collabs or the Jungle cloths, which would I have a better chance of scoring through a restock later in spring? Right now my size is available in both and ideally I would like to score both but can't swing it at this moment.

    my guess is neither...

    do like i just did, go for broke and get both..

  10. I'm getting ready to start the process of ordering my Whites Semi-Dress with Cap Toes just like these, but maybe with different leather (still deciding on the leather) and was wondering if anyone has any tips/advice with regard to ordering through Whites or Bakers, sizing with the tracing, etc.

    Thanks so much!!

    here is my bit of help. go straight through whites, don't go through bakers, when they botch the size on a pair of customs you ordered... you are fuck'd..obviously still a bit of resentment there..

    still order from experts not salesmen

  11. Speaking of the 1000 mile boot, does anyone have any info regarding sizing? Particularly in relation to Red Wing sizing.

    Mike

    same as RW and indy's, down 1/2

    i just got a pair in the mail to try out and i'm not severely impressed. i'll try and get a few photos up sometime

  12. Atsui is okay if you want to dress like Japanese people from the countryside

    Atsui is better in person. last time i was there they had plenty of PBJ, SC, KMW (not my favorite, but nice denim all the same), and some denime (which likely wont be back as another store may have locked this one up)

  13. just got a confirmation from Fung, that the contest jeans will be ready late july / early august. so y´all should get them middle of august or so...

    he also said, that they will boost the advertisement for local hk and mainland china people and they hope to find more contestants this way.

    did he mention anything about when future runs made specific for the contest would be available? i've been out of the loop for the last month, and had initially signed on and just been to busy but still want to give this a shot

  14. You sound like a fiend without rock.

    Stop sounding like you'd suck dick on camera or sell your mother's kidneys (both of them) just to cop some denim.

    Pathetic... Wish I'd negged you now.

    i'm sorry to say i second that. stupid questions about who carries what in japanese shops should now be answered only with " rakuten borderless " . there is no excuse to not search first.. and if you didn't, know now you do..

    and no pirates does not regularly stock 710, but can get just about anything as long as you pay, and don't waste their time
