Funnily enough Chevy Chase appeared in a music video by Paul Simon back in the 80's, the name l think was 'You can Call me AL'. I was a big fan of Chevy Chase films back in the day.

Thanks. I don't mind his wartime S501XX type repros but his buckleback models aren't as well researched imo. Also what love about Warehouse in particular is that you can unpick the arcs so they can look more like true repros.

Thanks, just as l thought. I already have this model though, albeit @beautiful_FrEaK's old Csf pair.

Seconded! @CharlieMike Is the 41 DSB the same as the supposedly Hinoya exclusive 1941 model do you know denim-wise? And l take it the 1942 is a WW2 model and not the 1942 buckleback? Cheers

^ 🤣 Yeah Neal, get in that rocking chair and start singing "tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree..."

^nodding my head in agreement *head nodding emoji*

This is my experience also (l have both models in size XL) - but l do wish they had made the set in sleeve model neck width a tad bigger, similar to the size of the freedom sleeve.

^Beautiful spot

Surprised Maynard hasn't made anything out of this yet 😉 Nice catch Neal. Reminds me of when l was a kid (11 or so) when my dad brought a poachers rod back from the States - basically a 1970's extendable rod, something you couldn't get here at the time - and we used to hang above the bridge in the nearby village just hooking brown trout mostly with ease before the old gamekeeper attempted to stop us. After a quick getaway we would get home and mum would roll her eyes at us before cooking them up. Yum.

Yes l love both items regardless (freewheelers 1942 tux) and can talk about it now without further trauma. I like you should have probably thought abit more about the tax side of things but held it to chance. This sort of thing used to happen regularly back in the early 2000's especially when buying second hand heavy flight jackets for example. I think every third purchase got held at Parcelfarce's Gloucester depot with a whopping fee to pay before release. They've got you over a barrel in these circumstances so what's a guy to do?

@UkeNo if it makes you feel any better, this happened with my last (and possibly final) denim purchases from japan last year. I asked for the insurance to be covering my purchases (£510) but didn't expect the tax to be so high. Ended up paying a whopping £178 extra in tax and duties. It still stings a bit when l think about it but l guess it's God's way of saying "enough denim!" 😂

Yes @CSL happy 60th Carl. Hope you have a blast! (I'll be with you in 3 years- yikes)

Nice black/yellow waist chain stitching on those. You copping?

Fuckin modern egyptians 🤣

Congrats Austin! Glad it all worked out and everything is as it should be. Your daughter is gonna be the best dressed girl for miles l'm sure, stealing the steez from her dad in no time at all
