This looks like it could get lively!! I'll be out on a limb here... but I think one of the RO models is quite nice (the low-top Austin has) I know the fella who runs the allotment store which is stacked with RO stuff... and said hello to him once in there... and the RO stuff just isn't for me... it's not gothic enough 😀 ... joking aside, I definitely wouldn't go looking for it. That said, each to their own. Would I have noticed the pumps if SE hadn't advertised them? No. But let's face it many thousands of folks going back years wouldn't have originally noticed loads of nice stuff if SE hadn't set up shop and advertised it... so respect due for that imo

The pics aren't great... but the Amoskeag repro denim surely is 😊... roll on the jacket and the jeans 😉 Pics 1-3 indoors with the light on... 4-6 outdoors in poor light I took a size 44 rather than opt for (or try my sizing luck with) a snugger fit... so it's pretty voluminous, with many pockets (like CSL has opined already) and the storage space of a modest backpack... I like!!

@Newman thanks for the pics... looks belt skimmingly good... I have a couple of similar length that took a little getting used to but imo that kind of length can work well

@Double 0 Soul top stuff... you've won the internet today!!

Overall quality is a bit shonky for $240k... the previous owner hasn't even washed them properly 😉

@silencejoe that older cpo is looking nice!

@Newman nice jacket... does it still fit you? Would be good to see pics if possible

Good news. I think the length looks good mate. Good luck with them. Looking forward to the Steam Locomotive pics!!

Are they one wash or raw? If the former, they look like they fit well and look nice jeans. If they're going to shrink in the wash, that might be an issue Anything else squirreled away?

Sharpened scissors at the ready mate?

@Broark how are your other Rick Owen trainers doing?

FW '20s tux FTW!!!

This sounds interesting... hope you don't mind me asking what you have planned? Hoping there's a few what is my indigo-neoprene-suit-doing-today posts featuring

You guessed right mate. Just looked this up - avenuewebstore states the '22 jeans denim is the 'standard' as used on the '47 jeans. I also rechecked elsewhere (for sanity's sake) and the '22 jacket uses the same as the '33 jacket and '37 jeans. So the '22 jeans and the '27 jacket are matchy matchy on denim. The '22 jacket an outlier. Would be interested if there was any FW logic to this (other than the timing point)

That's what my post said mate... I have the '27 jacket too - it's the 'standard' denim. I don't have the '22 jeans (as you say released years ago) and for clarity can't say what denim they are. My earlier post could have inferred it was the same as the jacket (good spot Austin, thanks). That said, it seems a bit odd to have a '22 jacket that is different denim to the '22 jeans but it may well be true or not! Calling @Duke Mantee

I have the 22 jacket Shred and it's the same denim, as per FW, as the 37 jeans and 33 jacket that I have.

😲

1933 jacket... bought one-wash... and not washed by me yet... the lighting isn't great... the denim is darker and richer than it appears in the photos... slowly slowly developing character

^ '22 (jacket) and '37 jeans are the same denim developed specifically in recent years; 47 (jeans) denim is the FW 'standard' denim which is different Note, from the posts following later, that the '22 jeans are in 'standard' denim.

Just saw M11026 for sale, used in sz 38

Freewheelers 30s tux, cinched and beltless / Buckweat

The poor GBP exchange rate makes that price hikes even worse over our side of the pond

That's a pretty speedy delivery! Looks the right size and a good fit - shoulders look comfortable and the arms the right length, based on the pictures but you'll know how it feels. There may be some shrink left in the denim if you've only washed it once but you could control that by washing in future at lower temps and avoiding the dryer. IThe fit should only get better as it relaxes and moulds to you. I'm sure you know all this - just commenting as you asked. How is it with the top button fastened? For jackets that are snugger in the lower section, fastening one or two buttons and leaving the rest open can look good...
