So I was to'ing and fro'ing on whether to get a size 42 or a 44 in the Powerwear heavyweight sweatshirt (#2434007) I have FW jackets in size 44 and size 46, so logic says a size 44 in sweatshirts should be good However, for me, the sweatshirt measurements tend to look, or be, generous... though it depends how you want them to fit Also, I'd previously got the Lot #2334011 sweatshirt in size 44 without consulting anyone and it's anomalously massive, even after washing it at 90C and sing the dryer (yes, that's another story) Seiichiro had the idea of sending me both 42 and 44 to help me choose; and asked me to post the comparison (top service from Seiichiro, as always btw). I've never posted on IG so here we go on Sufu I know other Sufu'ers get more shrink from their wash/dry methods, so my measurements are a guide to be used with caution The pictures are pre-wash 42, pre-wash 44 and then washed 42 Anyhow, happy with the size 42 and it seems the right one for me in Freewheelers sweatshirts Size 42 pre-wash / raw Size 44 pre-wash / raw Measurements chart - measurements can vary depending who is taking them - main take-away here is the relative change Ta-da... settled on size 42 And then the bad prince got locked up in the dungeon... and they all lived happily ever after. The end

That's a good idea Neal... and thanks... I'll send my copy immediately down to Sheffield 😉

@JMS I pre-ordered through him (that pair are mine :)). Not sure if he's getting extra stock but definitely worth giving him a shout mate

Bump indeed... posted this before... MF RBs plus SC Okinawa denim have been in my mind lately... Bought Nov 2017... wore it a lot for a few years... snugger than I wear most jackets these days (or have I grown?!)... lots of life left though

Mister Freedom / Fruit of the Loom / @Duke Mantee / WMJ 5150 / Viberg Boondockers (prompted by seeing @Jared_Lee @vIGGiou riou sporting their Ranch Blouses!)

Really nice, belt skimming jacket. Cool pick up

@ATWM new Tender 901 jacket?

Shame, great jeans.... good prompt for me to wear mine again!

Haha that's a good shout... linguini laces to go with my pizza jeans

Despite my earlier, it's sprint night right now...

^^ it's a marathon not a sprint gents 😉... actually I think that's what I keep saying to reassure myself after seeing everyone's jeans progressing very nicely @julian-wolf @Broark looking good!

Hahaha... go steady mate... the transition thereafter is to @Maynard Friedman

Asking UK folks... do you know anywhere that sells leather boot laces? Need new ones for my Viberg Boondockers... thanks

M41030Z, pricey but nicey

^ S516XX... there's been some recent chat about it in the FW thread mate

I had to look that up Doc - missed the boat there!! Doesn't that just make it more complicated and difficult to understand - maybe that's the aim 😆

Usual Sunday shananigans... Freewheelers x 4 / @Duke Mantee non-vis / Converse MiJ

More S516XX, with S601XX - same denim, jeans have been worn and washed more. Also love the puckering on the hem of the jacket.

... though AI is here and progressing fast... human's still needed for Powerpoints, for now at least... Great job Neal btw! Proper workmanship... Out of interest, I asked copilot (what is no-doubt a badly formed high-level question!) to see what it could produce for creating a Powerpoint on the topic... presumably a low base but AI Powerpoints are coming Martin...

^ it's deffo a great jacket. While a rerun with a new lining and maybe a different size would be alluring, I can see mine outliving me ATWM

Angie Stone RIP. Only 63. Car crash. Poor thing. What a writer, what a voice.

Rest day... WoM 5150 on the right hand side... only baby creases forming... wearing them 3-4 x per week atm

Thanks for the enablement bF 😉

I've heard they can't handle bars!

Agreeing with @bartlebyyphonics's subtle, easily wearable point... and chiming in on that... I feel there's a degree of sophistication in the jeans - I can wear them at work and they feel 'smart'; I can wear them in leisure and they feel 'casual'. They're slimmer than I've worn in a good few years - but only took a little adapting actually - and now they're a different and very welcome add-on to my jeans rail. As @Alec Leamas's point, a degree of Italian sophistication perchance Looks like you gents are leading the pack... no fades or real glimmers yet here... June '26 is some time off though
