... with real chain-stitching

I just heard Ironheart are gutted that FW pipped them to the post... their new 210 oz metal tux is nearly ready to launch

20s tux / FW 1927 / TCB 20s / Big Yank / Viberg / Dark sky

ok... a few measurements to compare the FW 1927 with my well worn (and much loved) CSF 1946... will draw up some amateur comparisons soon Duke (there will be little under and overs in my measurements but you'll get the picture)

But but I thought you liked the '27 Duke... and I can't send it back now as it's had a wash

^ cheers and ^^ ha ha I'm ready for 'em! They better not say nowt or I might have to wear sticky labels On that note, it arrived without any of the family noticing (what’s one postal delivery out of a steady stream?! Lockdown has been eye opening). My house uniform is a tux so I just started wearing it. No one said a word. Not a word. So a few days later, I stood there in new jacket and asked ‘notice anything different?’. They said you’ve had a shave (I had). Anything else. You’ve been spending less time on that denim website (true, my daughter had reprimanded me over Xmas). Anything else. Nope. What about the jacket? Oh that… we thought it was one you hadn’t worn for a while. But what about the giveaway curved pocket flap, smaller buttons and voluminous sleeves? Nope. I despair of them.

@unders I thought that was you singing for a minute... now, that suit of chainmail and armor, or even them there tunics, on WAYWT would win the t'internet

I’d been eying the 1927 type 1 for a while, liking the features and also conscious of wearing a 40s type 1 with 20s jeans So I treated myself for being a good boy and this landed after NY The features have been documented already so I won’t repeat… Only noting the armholes and sleeves are noticeably bigger (an inch) and the jacket’s boxier compared to my CSF 1946 Type 1… the extra space allows for layers… so yeah the jacket gets a thumbs up from me, really like it

^ nice one... fit looks spot on

Been watching the Small Axe films by the excellent Steve McQueen... this one has been looping on me ever since

@breakingfad great looking Memorials, would be good to see them further down the line too

@crownzip top stuff mate... fyi there's a new 2021 WAYWT now here... WAYWT 2021 [denim edition] - Page 4 - superdenim - superfuture – supertalk

@JMS fit pics would be good whenever you have a chance

Cool, thanks... seen that place on IG, will visit when poss... will say OO sent me

Haha... Superb Duke (would blend in nicely with the snow coming down here right now) and a solid start above all round Interestingly, in 2020 WAYWT had ~2.4x more replies & ~1.8x more reviews compared to recent years Hopefully an indicator of a bright 2021 in the Sufu bubble!
