  1. @swiss-jeansfreak do you have an inventory of all the jeans in your Jeansmuseum?
  2. What did you land Julian? The link doesn't work for the UK
  3. @edwardlj thanks for the correction and the info... changed my post ^ accordingly and booked in for another eye test
  4. 162 also quite wide and straight legged with quite large rises - really comfortable - and also based on Levis, their interpretation of a late 30s model If you scroll through the thread, you'll see the fits on Smooth, me and other Sufu'ers which should help
  5. Haha glad to help mate... I've worn the 33 quite a bit over the past 6 months ish and it's a slow burner... just starting to get some visible signs recently... would be good to see yours when you're ready
  6. Anyone had their 1942s come through the post yet? Calling @Broark @Dr_Heech
  7. Measurements are very similar for the 42 and 44 above Chest 55 compared to 54 cm / Shoulders c.50cm on both 42 19.7in = 50cm 42.9 = 54.5 44 20.5 = 52.7 44.9 = 57 As mentioned, the material is stretchy so the measurements could be more variable. The 44 is a touch bigger when worn, no shit Sherlock you say!! I've had lots of Bronson t-shirts before and found them good value for money overall. I'll report back post-wash with these though @indigoeagle yep it's their 1940s USN t-shirt. Interesting button holes you point out... Bronson have them... what were they used for back in the day? And the laces? @Mods - we're now deep in discussion of non Japanese garms on a Japanese garms thread 😉
  8. Just checking the mods are alert!!! 🤣
  9. Got a couple of Bronson bangers in the post today... actually nice they are too... however, what's going on with the rope bondage?!
  10. I have the '43 tux... beautifully wonky it is too... makes a refreshing change from all that straight stitching that has saturated the market 😜 I've worn it down the local supermarket before and Mavis on checkout never batted an eyelid... but that may be because I stood ever so slightly on a slant to make it appear that the box pleats were straight... actually it's probably because there is only us 20 Sufu'ers who ruminate (in a good way :)) on these things While we're chatting... I was at my lad's football semi-final a few weeks ago wearing a FW wabash jacket. One of the parents said 'I'm a bit superstitious... you're not wearing your lucky denim jacket'... I asked him which one... and his response proved to me he thought I only had one and they were therefore all the same WTF 🤯. The sad ending to that story is the lads lost their first competitive game in 2 years that day 😭... the key message I took from it is that, irrespective of the model, all denim jackets can be lucky!! I'll put some '43 tux pics up soon so you can throw tomatoes at it
  11. Ah but SC are only repro'ing that one wonky model so all the repros need to be the same wonkiness proportionately 😉
  12. That's where the modern skill comes in mate
  13. Freewheelers 1927, Powerwear, Trackwalkers / @Duke Mantee / Pras
  14. The '42 jeans are coming through... living vicariously on these... look forward to the reviews
  15. Freewheelers 1922 and Derrickman / Belafonte / @Duke Mantee / Converse
  16. 1933 / 37 set up Jacket hanging around in Malham after a walk Jeans getting some fresh air after a day on my legs - I'm holding on hopefully until mid-summer before they get a wash, see what happens
  17. I heard Freewheelers are thinking of doing a line in incontinent trousers for the ageing population... calling them underalls, like overalls only different
  18. I hope it's going to reappear on Sufu! The wabash I mean (as well as the model... WAYWT is calling you out mate 😉) The cardigan is another beauty... what's up... has global warming reached Scotland??
  19. Freewheelers Ironalls / Butcher Products / Belafonte / Buckweat
