    ^ yeah longer but also bigger on all measurements for the same tag size than the 46-47 version (from when I checked a few places)
  3. MJF9
    Nah not tried...

    Ahhha yes indeed @fabes I saw yours looking pretty good!! I like the FW 30s denim. Mine came OW and has not touched water yet... I'll hang on I think and see what happens

    @lyraman and if it still doesn't go through for you mate, I'll send you a link to maybe 2-3 items and my address so you can run an end to end test 😄

    and insisting on retaining final salary pensions for the staff who have been there forever and do f-all work... hmmmm

    Great page of nicely fading jeans... well done gents!! Clearly I'm ages behind... as I whimsically flit across my jeans rail... I think my best chance is if you all burn out through overwear and overwashing leaving only threads in June 2026

    Class scouse denim there la... I was once out on a night out in Liverpool when I saw the Brookside actors queueing to get into a club... it must have been their party... so I went up with my mate and said 'eh Jimmy lad can we get in with yous'... and I recall, as surely as a long time ago can be sure, he said 'yeah alright, but only you'... I erm made my excuses and left... I once also met Bev in Cream (I think it was a Boxing Night in the early 90s when Farley Jackmaster Funk made a barnstorming appearance), we had a boogie as you do and it turns out she was my mate's cousin... clearly we need to transfer this now to the Nonsense thread The big question though... is Trevor Jordache's chambray still buried under the patio with him Martin?

    A good reason to buy more jeans... time to stock up lads and lasses

    @reubensangwich great jacket... I found one, bought it but alas it was too small... the one that got away... but not too far, thankfully

    Betty has studied Neal's pizza-buying patterns so carefully... she can now predict what'll he'll buy... and personally french kisses all his toppings before he visits... more reasons to shop at Morr-isons

    Well Maynard, funny you say that… trying to get that funky (platonic) foursome together was a proper nightmare, I tell thee… and it wasn’t for the want of trying. Firstly, the ladies couldn’t agree on where to eat. Traceeeeeey / Julie / Debs can only slurp soup through a straw, until she gets her new false choppers. Mavis, bizarrely, is a Leicester City fan and kept quoting Jamie Vardy ‘I don’t like foreign food so I just stick to pizza and chinese'... and, to top it all, Neal was pinging me saying ‘I’m wearing my M41001 and CSF as I found them so you’ll have to wear Freewheelers otherwise we’ll look daft'... hard to believe... I know... it sounds like I'm making it all up...

    @indigoeagle thanks for the update... what question did you ask for him to suggest size 48?
  15. MJF9
    If we take the example of the latest Lee 101-LJ that @Dr_Heech posted... Same model, different shops, different measurements Is the measuring wrong? How hard can it be to get to a reasonable tolerance?! Or is the measuring correct, but the item dimensions are different for the same tag-size? The stuff of sleepless nights, I tell thee 😉
  16. MJF9
    Yep I made the point earlier the tag is irrelevant, it's all about actuals. When you need to pre-order jeans before sizes are totally nailed, based on estimates, and then there is variability in the same models sizing once delivered, it's a simple fact that it'll affect the fit if you're committed to a certain size. The SCSC 42s do vary, based on the sampling I saw. It's not like we can go in a shop easily (for many, at least) and try them on. That'd obviously be much better. I can't even remember the last time I did that. The CSF bloke made me a type 1. He said it'd be to minimum dimensions which we agreed. It arrived and was completely different. The arm was about 50cm with a tiny cuff. Did not meet the minimum spec. Fortunately, I had the audit trail, sent it to him, I returned it and he made me a new one... and we all lived happily ever after... the end

    @tooth agree re the cut... the cinch on my w34 is redundant for me, however it is necessary and useful on the w36. I checked raw sizings with mates and across a few stores and there is quite a lot of variability... I wonder if this was an intentional quirk? Not quite CSF levels of variation but noticeable on the 42. @Double 0 Soul the w36 had a 40C and a 30C wash; the w34 had a 30C and a 20C. I'll dig out numbers when I get chance. And yep agree the belt loops look interesting and need a closer look! The w36 pics are different which is adding to the apparent disparity methinks - the 'before' has shadows accentuating the size and the pic angle with arms folded in a t-shirt is giving me mini-Popeye vibes (where my mind went, at least!) @Maynard Friedman nothing to see here mate... look over there... monkey with a shotgun Good job there's only a handful of us that look in this corner of the web 😀

    It's like 'feederism' on Sufu, only with jeans... 'jeanserism' maybe?? 😉
  19. MJF9
    Nice them!!
  20. MJF9
    Haha tagged W34 but industrial one-washed to a w32... which fit... just 🫣 so got ya there kidder!!! 😀 Niice chance to remind folk they are for sale, cheers! Great jeans but no patience to stretch them plus the rise is low for my preferences!! F me Neal they are 82cm though iirc which is 32.283 inches... forget tag size lads and lasses, go on measurements 😬
  21. MJF9
    Hahaha well... my other SCSC 45s and 43s are w34, as are all my FW (albeit those feel more generous in some fits)... this was definitely a small pair by the measurements compared to other actual measurement I know of... hanging on in there still... just 😬 The w36 unwashed were humungous. I had them hemmed longer cos I wanted a f-off cuff and to allow me to wash hotter on 40C (the w34 was washed on 30C). The final pic is cinched to almost the max (cinch fades ftw)... not a smooth rear image in any way but I don't give a sh!t as I don't look at it Keeping both atm but if one was to go based on fit (rather than bells and whistles) it'd be the w34... we'll see
  22. MJF9
    Good enough a reason to justify a purchase that
  23. MJF9
    So the SCSC '42 jeans landed... and post-wash the w34 were snugger than I'd hoped. Looking at other pairs, mine came up on the smaller end of the spectrum. The target was a reasonably voluminous pair, with a big enough waist to allow some decent cinching. In fact, I liked the pre-wash fit better than post wash... ...so, stuck in the worm hole, I then got a w36... and they meet the original brief... I like 'em (many won't) cinched up with no belt. The w34 has the bells and whistles... both w34 and w36 have been hemmed with original cotton from Toyo... w34 before and after washing w36 before and after washing

    I thought I read you can alter the declaration value (at your own peril) on Japan Rabbit... maybe I dreamt it

    Anyone used Japan Rabbit as a proxy? Views on their service?
