Quite enjoyed digging the heavier jacket out today after summer... Samurai Roy Viberg

Meant to ask @lance... how do you avoid gator danger?

What a back garden @lance!!

Haha @The Clerk that's viewing on the phone. I can see the difference now! Jacket looking spot on too.

Looking great @The Clerk... always good to see some faded Ande's out there. The denim is sanforised so you should be ok with your wash. Would be good to see the 'after' pics.

Hey @Broark fwiw when I've seen this style of shirt before it's been boxy and on the shorter side in both body and sleeve length. The Bureau Belfast have a similar shirt atm (in Irish linen rather than denim) - worth having a look at the fit pics and measurements here - maybe the comparison can help... https://www.thebureaubelfast.com/shop/9719/natural-irish-linen-popover-shirt. I recall Post O'alls did a similar army shirt too so would be worth looking that up for comparison as I nearly went for one. I've seen this style worn layered before which looks good. Your denim version here looks pretty good. What denim is he using? The shoulder measurement will need to work if you size down... Good luck... keep us posted!

^^ haha they would need to be Eddie Hall heavy to resolve this one

Thanks @Iron Horse. I think it's a diaper - wedgie hybrid ... thankfully I can spare Sufu the graphics as I've decided to cut my losses and return them. It's pretty pronounced beyond my antifit limits so might be a production defect. Shame - great denim and I've seen so many great looking Freewheelers pairs at all stages of evolution. If I take the plunge again with a different model, I'll test them out at Son of a Stag first.

So... I went with the 1951 model in the end and they arrived today... an efficient service from Mirror Ball and thanks to @Iron Horse @Flash for their above help... Initially pleased with them - lovely denim, weight, colour and dimensions are as expected. However the rear (ass) seems to have surplus denim causing puckering... I suspect this would be an ongoing feature and would annoy me. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has had this with the 51? Did it go away with wear? Also is this rear puckering a feature of the 43 model? Need to decide whether to keep / return / swap (I'm presuming Mirror Ball allow returns). Thanks in advance!!

@Broark lovely jeans; solid fit; really like the knee and cinch details... are we now going to see some suspenders to make use of those buttons???

The OshKosh are quite a pick up! You wear them well... particularly liking the length which I think adds an edge to the vintage vibe. I recalled a few pages on OshKosh in the Lightening Vintage Workwear mag... some pics below - the 50s bib looks familiar (plus more chores!). (Digression... the overalls trigger remembrances of the second summer of love... only worn baggy, Adidas Superstars with fat red laces etc etc... a different time and place :))

@Cold Summer such glorious blue hues on your shirt... it looks great... well done. Looks like two near-identical repairs on the elbows (viewing on the phone) which add interest! Would be good to see this shirt as it develops...

@bartlebyyphonics the Boncura looks great... looking forward to seeing how it evolves... and mini-bartleby looking super cool...

Thanks @Iron Horse that's good to know. It looks like your 43s have relaxed since the initial pics above - they're looking really good!
