Two rayon open collar flannels that I’m very sad don’t fit, both size L. I just got these from Hinoya on a whim and thought I could make them work. The black shirt is new/unworn and the red was washed once (then pressed) to see if it’d shrink, but no luck. 
 

Looking to get 110 shipped apiece, although I can give you a deal if you get both. Retail is ~150 USD. 

Also posted in the SC main thread.

Keeping the 1955z train going with this pair I just got back from SESF. The crotch split open on these prematurely due to some loose stitching, as well as a split along the yoke. 

Only intermittent WFH wear over the last year so not a ton happening, but they’re coming along! 

Selling a very lightly used (3 washes) set of black Whitesville t-shirts, size M. I’ll be posting pics and measurements, but 60 shipped if anyone wants em.

Posting a handful of items, with measurements to come a bit later (though most are available through Self Edge/HP if you want to take a look yourself).

• Whitesville 2-pack (M, washed and worn fewer than 5 times) - $50 shipped
• Whitesville 2-pack (L, washed and worn fewer than 5 times) - $50 shipped
• Warehouse 1001xx Size 34 - NEW (these appear to be sold out everywhere) - $200 shipped
• Buzz Rickson 1942 Chinos Size 33 - Khaki - VERY lightly worn - $100 shipped (there was a crease deliberately added to these by a tailor, which I think looks cool—if you disagree I can have it taken out before shipping)

 

Bumping this! Only the chinos are left. 

It's such a shame that so many of the links here are now broken. This thread was a treasure trove of incredible photos, once upon a time! 

(and holy shit, I can't believe the last post was in 2013).

What’s the waist like on the 55’s? Are they a little smaller than tagged? I find the 47’s in a 34 to be tight while the 34 in the 66’s are looser and more comfortable (tho the rise is higher so that prob helps.)

I can barely button size 32 in the 47, but in the 55 they’re spot on/comfy. They’re close to the 66 in that way, but without the taper.

And attached is a random shot I snapped cleaning up the bedroom. The light looked nice! Not a lot of wear yet, though.

brief photo update of my 1955z that i’ve been wearing since december 2021. i like the fit on these a lot more than the 66. 

Sugar Cane’s best cut by a mile, in my opinion. I’ve been considering getting a second pair to save “just in case.”

Would love to keep seeing more pics as yours age. Mine are coming along, but slowly due to WFH life. 

BR 1942 chinos, new and old. The lighter pair feel like pajamas at this point but are beginning to fall apart.

Has anyone here been wearing the 1966? Thinking it will be my next pair. 

Is it the same denim as the 1947?

Different denim! They’re really good—I’ll have to snap photos of my faded pair soon.

Selling some random, made in Japan polos. Grey is Two Moon, and the other two I bought at department stores in Tokyo. Just cleaning out my closet and would love to get 50 shipped for the lot—measurements below. All fit like M-ish.

What an epic pair @jstavrin, bravo!

Thanks bud! Hope you’ve been well.

Does the ‘55 only come zippered?

I wonder if the recipient of your old ‘55z doesn’t like you anymore either?

 

He absolutely doesn’t. Long story lol.

The 55 only comes with a zipper, yeah, and it’s probably the only thing I kinda dislike about it.

Picked up the 1955z at SESF yesterday! These feel like somewhat of a hybrid, sizing-wise, between the 66 and the 47. The waist is a bit more forgiving on the 55 and the 66, but the former obviously doesn’t have as narrow of a leg opening. Don’t quote me on this, but I reckon most people can wear a size down from their size in the 47 (that’s how it is for me, anyway). 
 

There might be a fit pic of me on here wearing the original SC 1955z 12ish years ago? Loved em back then but gained too much weight and tragically gave them away to someone I don’t even like anymore!

Lovely, but apparently sold out everywhere. Thanks, though.

Would love to know what model these are! The NBs, I mean. 

Anyone know the deal with the new1946 jeans yet? 

SC1966 worn on and off for years and washed a ton. I have a brand new pair for sale, so DM me if these look good to you.

Hey folks. I’m selling not one, but TWO pairs of SC jeans—1966 (size 32) and 1947 (34). The 66 is brand new (OW) and the 47 was soaked once and BARELY worn but was purchased raw. Both are insanely huge on me now due to weight loss. DM me if you’re interested before I make the sale thread. Posting pics of my old, now-unwearable 1966s so as not to clog up the thread with sale business!
 

I highly recommend checking out the Sugar Cane website relaunch: 

www.sugarcane.jp

They've put up a ton of background information on various Toyo, Buzz, etc., as well as some articles on the 1947. Really interesting stuff.

Would you say they tapper in the hips like the 47’s do?

The overall shape is much more “rectangular” than the 47, and I’d say the 47s are actually slimmer overall. I have both pairs in the same size and the 66 has more taper below the knee, but the rise is higher and the waist is looser.

Glad to see you back!

Glad to be back! I'm wearing a new pair of jeans again, hence my return. I've just been cycling through old pairs and Buzz chinos for the last few years or so.
