I don’t think this is the case. I think they have an idea what they’re buying but somehow don’t realise it’s available much cheaper with a bit of research. I know a couple of people who’ve paid SoaS prices and they’ve been the folks that have got into Japanese denim, etc and assumed that high prices from the handful of shops they were aware of were the norm. I imagine that once they dig a bit deeper and fall into the sort of wormholes we live in, then they may discover the strange world of proxies, Yahoo Auctions and sending Google translated emails to shops like e2nd, etc to take advantage of Japanese domestic prices.

^That is exactly the conundrum I wrestle with.

They can do that as long as people will continue to pay those prices. I think they must have a private ‘most gullible customer’ contest running in conjunction with Sonofastag. Happy Easter everyone! 🐣

Yes, simplified due to the lack of cinch and crotch & coin pocket rivets, plus the painted arcs, etc as far as I’m aware.

That is very sad news. He was an excellent dude and he happened to make some of the best jeans around. Rest well Ande.

I’m just seeing a black square there @JDelage, no photo at all

Nice boots. If only there were a beltmaker on this forum…. 🤔

^What model are they? They look like a low rise WW2 pair but with coin pocket rivets.

I didn’t see that, the inseam certainly looks longer than 68cm!

I spotted these nearly new Cobra’s in size 30 for a good price on eBay. I have nothing to do with the sale but thought they may be of interest to someone here.

Alan Titchmarsh’s censored jeans 🤣

You’ve been a busy boy!

Requesting an update from @beautiful_FrEaK!

Good point JW, I haven’t followed this too closely, so it’s a simple case of wait and see.

I don’t know that everyone does want a different cut/fit. Most people that have replied say that they’re interested dependent on the fit, without stating what that fit is. Perhaps someone should create a survey to see what people actually do want?

I like your front door @MJF9!

Denimio still have a few sizes left in the 220A.

Where exactly do you take the hip measurement from? It’s not something I’ve ever been concerned about.

I wear size 32 in most brands - Warehouse, LVC, Sugar Cane, SDA, Momotaro - but wear size 31 in Full Count as I’ve found they come up big in the waist. However, my experience is with the old FC with arcs and tabs, I’ve not owned or even tried on the new, revamped models, so this may no longer be relevant.

Do it and report back 😂

I’m interested if the fit is wrong and completely unsuitable for me.

They look fine to me, although I’ve never had a pair of Evis/u.

I’m not sure, it may run out of steam. I don’t think a jacket contest will have the legs of a jeans contest.

I think Freewheelers make a black pair too and I know Warehouse have made them in the past.

^ Are you thinking of buying it back @MJF9? 😆
