Deposit sent. Would like to hear more about this @volvo240thebest guy too.

Good to know. If there’s a couple of inches leeway, sizing should be easy enough.

Is the verdict on the denim that it will stretch back to tag? That’s +/- 2.5” overall?

Congratulations @beautiful_FrEaK great news! Best wishes to all your family.

Same length as the inseam on your WoM’s now though. I’m 6ft tall and they’re still quite long.

This is understandable. I’m looking at the s411 as I don’t have any jeans with a reversed yoke and cinch etc, so hopefully I’ll get the ww2/40s fit (kind of), but with some interesting and different details to my other jeans. Win win for me. edit: someone buy my Freewheelers 47s so I can justify buying more 40s jeans (typed whilst wearing other Freewheelers 47s )

£150+ Shipping.

Really? - I didnt think they looked right?

I'm Interested. Are there any detailed pictures of these specific details - the reverse yoke and the yellow/ black stitching on the inside belt? Thanks

Some questionable Ande’s for your amusement… https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116279862823?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=qGTVar7-SvK&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=AYJGZ5h1Tom&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

As of today: One: TCB 50’s

Which one of these ‘Japanese’ shirts fits better? Are they true to size do you think? Thanks

56’s currently - no editing.

Be aware that Golden week is 29th April - 5th of May this year, just in case you thought of going later. All of Japan will be on holiday and on the move, making accommodation much scarcer/ costly.

Freewheelers 601xx 1947 Size 34 - Unworn Soaked: Waist: 34” Inseam: 30.5” 77.5cm Knee: 10” 25.5cm Front Rise: 13” 33cm Back Rise: 17.25” 44cm Thigh: 13.5” 34.5cm Hem: 9” 23cm Outseam: 43.25” 110cm Bought from and hemmed by Hoosier in Japan.

Dm for details etc. Thanks.

I’m only interested if @volvo240thebest takes part. (Come back Volvo )

Mine was the same, the graphic on the patch didn’t last long after the first wash, but the leather itself held up well for the first year or so. A t-shirt would have been cool.

The patch was great when it was new, and now its well worn its grown on me. Still quite supple. My other favorite detail is the fade on the pocket bag, the sateen has faded loads and become really soft, far more that the striped twill. These are semi retired now due to threads breaking and having other pairs to wear.

Not great but here you go. Gives a general idea of the wear (A bit too blue and not enough focus)

A couple of my S40’s WW2 competition jeans. The other full length shots didn’t come out well, so just these worth posting. Back pocket has most spot on colour

How dare you speak out against The Grail!? You Sir are on very thin ice. I will appeal for leniency on your part to the Freewheelers authorities, but this is a very serious incident I haven’t even worn my 47’s yet but know they are ‘the best’ jean ever. I simply can’t understand anyone nit picking them! Your independent thought has been duly noted though. Everyone loves a free spirit

Now that I have the 601xx 1947 in hand here’s a little side by side with the 601xx 1951 and the 661xx 1956. Each with the same fabric although the 47’s are a different colour(?) as Duke stated previously. 47’s are unwashed, 51s washed but unworn and the 56s have multiple washes and many wears. Fairly noticeable difference in blue tone on the 47 already compared to the other two 47 and 56 (Yes, they’re Freewheelers Jungle fatigues ) The fabric texture is consistent between all three but more pronounced on the washed and worn 56s. Sizing: 47 & 51 are a tag 34, and 56 is a tag 33. They all fit me well.

Something about there being both a W110 and W112 too, but that this one, the W111 was softer, or a nicer shirting fabric compared the other two . I only read it quickly, but that was the gist (IIRC).
