@CSL awesome!

@oomslokop Many happy Sufu returns to you and your shirt... both looking angelic... loving the shorts too (we need deets on them)

Very similar Doc. First time I've looked is in taking the photos. I can try ask LH about the original it was based on. The hem stitching is different, and the pocket size is bigger on the LH. But that aside, yeah agree they are la familia!!

No mate, I don't have the '42... but I know a man who'll soon have both '42 and '41... calling @Broark

A few pics... LH v SCSC 43... LH is size 48 and bigger than SCSC size 46 LH is the first pic, SCSC 43 follows on all comparison pics

Sure mate... here's a few pics... look forward to your analysis :)... if you need any more lemme know

@shredwin_206 sounds like this calls for before and after pics then mate

@shredwin_206 let's see how long these survive then 😄... how's the fit?

They're supposed to be out soon... Google translated... 601XX 1941 Late Model Produced slightly before the 1942 Model, but still in the strong period. This is the earliest WWII model, combining dark, rugged new WWII denim with hidden rivets and suspenders, and is the final model of the 1937-1941 buckleback. Concealed Pocket Iron Rivets Regular size suspender buttons with engraved iron accents Back yoke wrapping direction - yoke height Cinch back, Black Finish Buckle Regular size buttons with engraved iron accents, small Japanese copper rivets - pocket rivets, crotch rivets, cinch belt rivets, pant pocket rivets

@indigoeagle thanks... 41 is raw from Seiichiro on pre-order - waiting for the 41 jeans coming soon. It's the new WW2 denim. Good question on the palaka - I'm not sure... the blurb doesn't say. There's a couple of interesting articles I saw on the history of palaka I'll post when I get a minute... Edit - a little info

@julian-wolf this one. If you want actual measurements let me know.

sorry I missed this... hahaha yes I see the RO imagery... they're Adidas Superstars vintage I found some fat laces for... I'd been thinking old skool hip hop... so yeah 'normal' Superstar sole thickness mate... they're marketed as vintage. However the sole is far more flexible / bendy so not vintage as I recollect. I don't really know what you look for in driving shoes... but I'd be happy to do some driving in these, they're comfy

A few pre-order bits came through... #2621001 "Lot 506 XX 1941" / #2621004 "Steelbackers" Work Coat / #2545566 Shortsleeve T-shirt Both denims are really nice... 41 very dark, textured, robust... the chore has neppy flecks going on and is pretty lightweight (Plus some Toyo t-shirts... btw the Palaka size XL is up for sale as it's too small if anyone is interested? BNWT arrived yesterday. I wanted one for ages so trying for an XXL)

@CSL congratulations to you and Mrs CSL... looks like a cracking trip @reallypeacedoff that place is cool as

Hahahaha... you might find them useful in an English 'summer' Austin... it's a bit different

@beautiful_FrEaK great fit on the FEM

Fat laces ftw

Little Hand tux / Converse Timeline

OK then... some before and after washing shots...I could have gone with a size smaller waist and jacket but I have many that sized 'fit' already. Jeans are super comfy and jacket has space for layers so all good. I can post measurements later for completeness Before - Raw before washing After washing (Edit. I've since done a 60C wash which has 'tightened' the jacket up a touch)

@beautiful_FrEaK that's outrageous dressing
