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...

@beautiful_FrEaK looking cool... happy it's found a good home 👍

Nightmare!

@Double 0 Soul so was your old Volvo 240 the latter day equivalent of @Broark's new motor, only the Volvo was comparatively less environmentally friendly??? 😜

Good shout. I noticed the differences are significant and tried Kapital's own store but was late to the party as the jacket I wanted had sold out.

^^^^ love the ceremonial gloves and gasps as the 42 and 45 models were unveiled on the video... good job I wasn't there as I'd have been tempted to whip 'em on given the jeans and jacket look like my perfect sizing 😉 I take it they'll replicate the vintage pattern for the golden sizes which make the set even more tempting Looking forward to more teasers over the next 4-6 months!

@TripicalMidbooster Thanks for the intro... good to meet you... and pleased you've turned from lurker to poster! Lovely FW jacket there too 👍

I checked in with Simone earlier today... the plan remains to have the jeans to us in December... but, yeah, as we know (and I'm paraphrasing a touch here), no plan survives first contact with reality (Marshal Helmuth von Moltke the Elder said 'enemy' but it's clearly not appropriate here!). Single-man dependency risks certainly apply here! There's a load of pics on his Instagram and his website Alec - worth a gander if you haven't looked already - is anything missing? We're behind other work in Simone's queue so any new asks could cause timeline delays. We could see what he has easily to hand that's missing... but there are 5 different models in the contest we'd need to factor and we need to be careful to avoid delays matey.... also not sure what he keeps in stock, probably not much. Let's see where we land. Agreeing that them 5150s look very nice indeed!!

@aho ooof that jacket looks good! It looks like the pattern is the same as the Railroad jacket which I have in ecru. I remember discussing the fit with @Broark and @JohnM at the time.. as @Broark says the shoulders are noticeably slimmer. @JohnM had contacted Ryo directly about the pattern and Ryo said the following... I'm working on the basis John's ok with me sharing as it's some useful info direct from the maker himself 👍 "As you feel, this jacket has a unique fit because of vintage cutting A line, Narrow shoulders and wide arm, side seamless, split sleeves. A split sleeve is a set-in sleeve at the front and a raglan sleeve at the back. You may be feeling something wrong with your shoulder fit until you get used to this jacket, it is right, it is an intentional element. In our opinion, your shoulder fitting should be more comfortable little by little as you wear it. Enjoy!! "

You're all making me hungry I don't often eat pizza but like it when I do... preferences include goats cheese, blue cheese, anchovies, olives, seafood generally, capers, chilli peppers... my Lebanese friends said they grew up being told zataar boosts your intelligence so we've eaten that a bit together... nice nopal on the figs, walnuts and honey... that's enough I need to eat pizza... did somebody say just eat?

5150 looking good on Simone

@LazyS 37s looking spot on, really nice... what have you been carrying in your right pocket?

@scooby that's some wear eh! Ex Mr Hickorees and Hillside I see

Unless of course our man is one of the lurkers .... 727 peeps online, 25 logged in... meaning 702 lurkers

I don't... can you remember any tales for us OO? I'll get my popcorn just in case...

Do you know what happened to them?

I can't decide if it's a blessing or a curse that we're not the same size @Duke Mantee! Some top gear there befitting of a top bloke! I bet Lewis couldn't contain his excitement... good luck with the sales

I was looking through old jeans and noticed this Denim Demon pair from around 2009. They were a small maker from Stockholm... looks like they folded ages ago They got my interest for a few reasons: Are these sort of pizza arcs? Made in Italy They have late 30s ish features but a laurel wreath-esque top button... reminds me of the Canes I got recently I also noticed the top panel on the backside is over the bottom panel... if I understood it correctly, this is what @Dr_Heech was talking about recently. Them and the FW Ironalls Lot 102 overalls ae the only jeans I have with this arrangement.

^ them flimsy karate kicks dinnae worrie a proper Scotsman!!!

The high cost is hilariously at odds with this model originally being lower cost, more 'affordable' jeans

My understanding these days is FW class it as a burgundy tab rather than red
