Forever a fan William! I must say that after not logging into Superfuture for a week or so, I always look forward to checking the Tender thread the most.

I've always loved that watch. Never owned it though. Cheers! William, I'm not sure how many times I've searched deep into Instagram hoping to find a solid source for the brand. (hint, hint)

Thanks you two. Probably too warm in CA to worry about it just yet.

Speaking of the SC Type II... Mine is due for a wash. Are the shoulders continuing to shrink for any of you guys? I don't want any there, but could use some around the rest of the jacket.

Wonderful stuff, William. There's something so effortless about head-to-toe Tender, and yet it isn't the easiest brand to pull off. Very cool to see how each person decides to wear the pieces in his/her own way.

This is exactly where I'd want my jacket to stay forever. Not brand new. Not washed out. Just right. I'm jealous. OrSlow just does it for me. I can't say that I own anything from them, definitely high on my list though. When I was shopping around Manhattan over the summer their stuff, along with anything Nepenthes, definitely stood out the most for me.

Wooooowwwwwwwwwwwww. That's all I can really say. I love everything about my 1001, been wearing them like crazy.

Type II, size 42 pre soak: post soak and after a few days wear: Glad I was able to hold out for a few days and swap the 40 for a 42. Well worth the wait, this thing is cool. Asking for a friend: He has the Type III Black Jeans from SE and is wondering if wearing sulfur dyed jeans could be hazardous to his health. Please tell me that the rest of you think he's as crazy as I do.

I think I've just made my mind up to swap it for a 42 and throw it in hot water. I'll be in SF on Thursday anyway, and will be able to make the transaction pretty quickly. Bummer, was actually planning on breaking it in on the trip. Oh well...

Thanks guys. Interesting insight mondo--in terms of the washing/sizing. Seeing as this is the unwashed version, I do think I should soak in some regards as it will eventually have to touch water in its lifetime. Arms are a bit long though. Shoulders are perfect, body length doesn't bother me one bit. Maybe I should exchange for a 42 and hope for this fit after a hot soak? That way, I can just wash wash wash soak whatever and not have to worry about it. I mean, if the sleeves were a tiny bit shorter, this current fit would be perfect.

Was a loooong week, having to wait for my Type II to come in from Portland. I've never had a denim jacket and I have a few questions. I'm assuming this will fit pretty well after a hot soak. Mostly concerned about the shoulders shrinking a bit too far. What do you guys think? (Not sure why I didn't tuck my shirt in for the photos) PS, 45 mins on hottest tap with moderate agitation should do the trick right?

SOLD! Thanks Kiya.

Fair enough. Looking at the charts, size 40 would suit me best though I've never been smaller than a 42 in anything Japanese. (I'm 5'8" 160 lbs, with rather broad shoulders) Would like to be able to wear a hoodie underneath.

Are the non-wash Type IIs from Sugar Cane something that you guys will keep bringing in, or should I snag one while I have the chance?

All this talk about vintage sweats had me breaking mine out over the holiday and I officially want a pullover hoodie from SG. Green or navy..?
