Has anyone bought the railcar pomade? I'm really interested to see how well it works

Sounds like faux noir to me

I can't really think of a way to prevent the fading. If the denim were stiff I would recommend giving it a quick soak so that there would be less rigid creases forming, but the denim is already pretty soft. I would just avoid heavy wear. But I have to say, the indigo underneath does look pretty good when it starts to show through the black.

If you're looking for a black denim jacket that will stay dark forever (literally), I would check out the Iron Heart IH-9526j jacket. It's not cheap, but its very high quality like Railcar. Finding a used one would be a good idea

I think a type III would be absolutely amazing

Would you mind posting measurements? (I'm curious, and it might be helpful to other people thinking of purchasing one of these jackets.)

 

My size 42 DB-430 measures 22.5" p2p post soak. 

 

*Also, mattdude and I pm'd about his jacket, just in case it seems like there's some missing dialog in these posts 

Sure! These are measurements post soak for a size 38 SDA DB-430:

P2P: 20.5 inches

Arm Length: 23.5 inches

Length from bottom of collar to hem: 23.5 inches

The shrinkage was most noticeable in the arm length, and not too much in the chest

I decided to get a size 38 medium. It did run a little large initially, but after the soak I'd say it fits like a size small. So I would definitely recommend to anyone interested to take into account shrinkage and presoak it in hot water.

P.S. Thanks for your help jonny! I'm glad I pulled the trigger on this one

Got my Studio D'Artisan DB-430 jacket recently, and it is awesome. I purchased it through Rakuten with no issues with customs or taxes at all. I was worried that it was going to be too big, but giving it a hot soak shrunk it down nicely. In comparison with my old Iron Heart 21oz jacket, it is definitely more rigid (and thinner of course). But I find that this one fits better because of the longer arm length. So far it seems worth the money. Can't wait to see how it looks after a few months!

I think the fit looks great, if you're going after something thats still slim but on the looser side. The waist will probably annoy you though

Thanks for all the advice! Definitely going to pull the trigger on one

Just picked up a pair of X001s recently. It was awesome to tour the workshop, and Steven was truly a great guy. The X001s are a perfect year-round weight, and a tad more classic blue than the X002s. They stretch a little bit, more so than the X002s, so they were a good option for me because I'm in between a 29 and 30 and was able to comfortably take a 29 and get the slimmer fit I wanted. Absolutely no regrets switching to Railcar from APC... they are much higher quality and built by awesome people

Does anyone have any info/opinions about japanese type 3's? I'm looking to get a Studio d'Artisan one on rakuten and am wondering if they worth the $300+ price tag. They sure look nice!

I'm also checking out Samurai and Eternal too...

Hi! I'm looking for a pair of Alden 403 (chromexcel leather) boots in size 8D. Message me if you're interested on selling, any condition will be considered. Thank you!

yeah it happens on APCs.... and always on the right leg too, I have no idea why. I hope its not too bad!

I'd probably go for a 30 if you still want your wiggy room

Price drop just cuz!

$58 shipped/ paypaled

For sale is a pair of APC New Cure jeans in size 27. I wore these for a while but ended up opting for a different style. They definitely have a ton of life left in them; zero soaks or washes. No tailoring or hemming either. There is some back pocket fading form a wallet and just sitting, and there are some knee and whisker fades forming. A little phone fade too. They smell a bit, but giving them a soak or putting them in the freezer should help fix that. There is some missing stitching as a result of cuffing too, which are shown in the pics. Not much combs though! I've tried to detail all the fades, but in general, I would describe these just as simply broken in; they will definitely fade more to their future owner's liking.

Please contact me with any questions, thanks!

Waist: 14.75 in.
