A few thoughts and observations... The arm holes on the SC version are notably vertical. The CSF arm holes more curved. When I looked at the shoulder measurements for the SC, they are quite big Perhaps the jacket SC modelled it off was more akin to the #02 model from 1923 in the Levis book When I compared measurements on the SC 1943 to the FW 1922, they are similar in terms of the wider shoulders relative to chest. The arms come up a bit longer on the SC hence you can see peeps like SJ above wearing the sleeves cuffed. It looks good either way imo. I think the SC looks both attractive and interesting... the denim looks nice and crunchy and irregular too...

^^^ there's quite a few 50s in your update Duke.... if it wasn't you I'd be getting suspicious Just thinking of value, how would the turn down collar jacket price compare to Ironheart, for example, or if you extrapolate the costs of your OG jacket, what would it be today??? Or am I barking up the wrong tree woof @Broark are you sure you don't need this to put away for winter? An extra layer under the Sasquatch perchance?? Joking aside, really nice jacket but am gonna pass!

Lovely knit... what's driving the ¥135k though Duke? IIIRC you have one and give it high praise indeed, so just curious

+ fit pics of the jacket would be good if you don't mind @silencejoe

I might have somethings coming along soon

We are the mighty Sufu!!

Beltmaker to the stars, eager for your top end quality product and service 🤩... but don't forget we were your mates first Duke

^ denim looks nice though

Enjoyed watching African Head Charge and Mad Professor last night

Like the look of this Lee repro (building on Indigoeagle's post ^)

I thought I spied a Trailblazer on WAYWT. Great jumper it is. You did well on price there Julian.

tatsunosuke made by Woods Mountain from IG. Nice neppy lightweight denim with grey weft. Not worn much but need to put a shift into them at some point.

Is that because it's also the year he was born?

@Dr_Heech happy birthday to you too!

Many happy returns @Maynard Friedman

@kiya Wow. Congrats and Happy Birthday!

Been wearing Duke's fine creation quite a bit... the patina is coming along nicely and steadily methinks

Bryan Rite Stuff's new workshirt is looking good (and with those salt n pepper trousers).... pic taken from IG

A little wear on the sweatshirt... and some indigo transfer onto a t-shirt worn underneath

Thanks for the review @tooth. One observation is the rises are lower than I'd have expected and yours seem a touch lower than posted online. I know the adjacent war versions for FW and TCB both have considerably bigger rises. Wonder what the 43 will turn out like. I think we're going need some collectibles fit pics in the thread!!

@silencejoe nice... what do you think of them?
