@silencejoe nice... what are you planning to do in Tokyo? Any shopping planned? Enjoy...
-
I'm sure there'll be cases like this. But also would expect cases where people are that well off that they can afford to pay these prices and get instant denim whether they know or don't know they can get a better deal elsewhere
-
I think matching belt and shoes look good... they generally age differently so rarely stay in complete lockstep A colour match works too, of course But colour mismatches - such as black belt with brown shoes - look rubbish imo... and are only potentially excusable if you get dressed in the dark!
-
Years ago I remember CC selling Connors tuxes at a similar price. Looked like had one of each size in jeans and jackets. 'Rare denim'. To the rich folk of Fitzrovia (or elsewhere) it must be the ease of purchase and sufficient wealth that makes them cough up this much... or they are completely clueless... or both... given you could get 2.5 tuxes in Japan for them CC London prices
-
You could ask Crockett and Jones where they get the leather... buy some, ideally a pre made strap... and then it's over to a legendary Scottish beltmaker for the rest... I did this with John Lofgren... very helpful he was too and boots / belt are a perfect match... as it should ideally be...

^ looking good mate... looks like you've Shredded them!!

1937 jeans... been wearing most weekdays for months... steady progress though I think reasonably stubborn (will take some pics of the 33 jacket and 22 jacket for comparison soon) Plan is to hang on until the summer then wash Really like both the fit and the denim

Anyone got any tips for cutting off the extra thread as it'll do my head in? Just snip and go? I don't want the jacket unravelling 😉
-
Click on over to the Freewheelers thread Dr...
-
As requested by @Dr_Heech... plus others may be interested, sharing some measurements Both worn a bit, especially the S516XX
-
Right then before and after shots... raw v machine wash 40 C, line dry Both jacket and jeans are roomier than they look, in a good way Will post before and after measurements soon
-
^ quite a bit of shrinkage... jacket length from 64cm to 60cm... albeit still damp so it'll expand a bit... proper short blouse length... quite excited to wear these tomorrow
-
Because I got the SC tux from Seiichiro... there was an opportunity to beef up the package 😉 with these Derrickman. Useful for the 3 days of summer we get in the UK 😀 Loving the herringbone fabric.
-
Collectibles 1943 tux was waiting for me. Happy days. Bought raw so just put them both through a 40C wash. Jeans 34, jacket 46.
