Probably very telling that there is little to no coverage of his set-up and workshop...

I bet the communication with his VIP customers goes differently.

their cuts are vintage inspired - boxy!

if you go by the chest measurements and "under-size" you get short sleeves and too tight collars. I should go 42 for almost all of them, but do 40, occasionally...

outstanding fabrics and aesthetics!
(will have to go through my wardrobe and post selected items...)

I think you are right. I have looked at 103 and D1714. They differ quitte a lot looking at the waist. Size 30 of d1714 had a waist of 84. The waist of size 30 in 103 is 78. I have the impression G-001 is more like 103. But then, looking at the waist i should go for size 33. I am quitte slim, 185 and 72 kilo. Hope you, Foxy2, or someone else can shed a light. It is Much appreciated! Kind regards from the Netherlands.

I can measure the G-001 in W33 (after washing) and you can compared it to the charts and actual measurements of your current pair...

I would appreciate that very much foxy2! What i notice from comparing size information of OD is that the differente in the waist is quitte big, 4 centimeters. Other measurements are close, front rise 1 cm, back rise half a cm. Guess i need to size up to 31, waist is stil smaller in that size but maybe it is compensated by the higher front and back rise? Your measurements can help to decide, i need to end up at a waist of at kwast 80. Thanks in Ada NEC!

no problem - will take measurements over the next few days...

I usually try to go for 86-88cm raw in most purchases.

OK - here we go...

G-001 W33 washed and stretched, but not really broken-in or worn - I believe there might be some more stretch left in the waist, if needed
Waist 43.0cm
Front Rise 28.0cm
Back Rise 38.0cm
Thigh 33.0cm
Knee 23.5cm
Hem 22.0cm
Inseam 88.5cm

Got a couple...excellent stuff, indeed!

yup, better ask Noaki - he's got both models still in stock.

1538XX was from 2011 - 1538XX-B & 1538XX-C were from 2014 and with an updated denim & pocket fabrics (camo & polka dots) - the 2014 models are more modern in cut (103 and, maybe, 107 based).

i think I saw a D1538XX on yahoo.jp some time ago...

Does anyone (here) have the 1538XX WW2 jeans in the relaxed fit (ie not those with the B or C suffix)?

I'm looking at you @Foxy2 

sorry, only have 1538XX-B which is based on a 103 cut...straight, but certainly not relaxed.

the Denimio/SDA collaboration is based on SDA's blanket lined model which is cut with very broad shoulders - I would not be surprised if it wouldn't work without the lining...

Warehouse and Samurai make/have made nice edition, too.

as this is usually a shorter cut jacket type, Japanese versions can turn out even shorter for us.

liking the denim for SP-028 & SP-32, but I doubt that the cut would work for me.

SP-029 I approve, but I guess a WW2 cut at this moment will not excite many!
if the actual denim has a bit more texture in the end who knows..

might just stick to a tee this time.

Both the 40th war pair and the 40th natural indigo jeans look really nice. 

7 hours ago, JDelage said:

I like the war pair. The natural ind one is SP-031 I suppose?

 

 

7 hours ago, Broark said:

Yup, those are the ones. Too tapered for my tastes in all likelihood. 

7 hours ago, JDelage said:

Yes, I agree.

2nd that - both are too tapered for my liking!
the WW2 (SP-029) are OK, but not really essential at this point...

no problem - will take measurements over the next few days...

Didn't know where else to post this, so here goes:

I recently got a pair of Workers lot 801 from Denimio, and parts of the selvedge edges seem to sort of curve/twist inwards. See pic for a better understanding.

Has anyone else experienced this? Both legs has this kind of twisting, all though it is not consistent the through the whole leg. Kinda sucks not showing the proper contrasting selvedge thread when cuffing the jeans, but I can't really justify this being enough to return them. 

8 hours ago, Broark said:

Is it sewn down that way or just curled underneath due to washing/shrinking and skewing of the fabric?
You could probably take an iron and press it out. I'd just roll with it myself if it's not sewn down.

yup, this can happen during washing if they are not ironed properly or when ironed shoddy, but also due to the selvedge structure itself.
don't forget, jeans are work garments and as such often produced like work garments: cheap & efficient. some of the early garments and brands had their outseam not pressed or pressed open at all.

take an iron on cotton-setting (preferably with steam), close the seam allowance while straightening-out the ceases with the iron, then iron the seam allowance open again.

over the past 2 pages I have posted a couple of pics from each model.

detailing should be roughly the same, both showcase the excellent level of skills and execution one can expect from Dawson Denim.

the DD01 feature a pre-shrunk, custom denim from Japan, while the DD11 feature un-shrunk Kuroki denim. both standard editions should feature their standard leather patch and pocket fabric - by now both should come with their "new" arcs.

Dawson describes the DD01 as a 1950's and early 1960's inspired cut and refers to the DD11 as 1940's Cowboy inspired.

Got the Dry British limited edition of those DD11 in W33 from a few years back - what do you want to know?

wearing them in the same size as my DD01 - more rise, more a 1950’s cut.

If memory serves me right those D1714 were based on a 103 cut - that would mean you could go with the same size on the G-001 - in theory...

what I don’t know how close the sizing of the D1714 followed that of the standard 103’s.

nope, but I'm in B. over the next WE (not this) and maybe, maybe, maybe find the time to look for them...

it didn't bother me too much - the slight taper in the legs did bother me more.

in the video it seems like they reduced the fly front by 1 button/button hole or changed the spacing (which would make more sense), yet did not change the waist band position or rise length.
they could have taken rise length out of the inseam point, though...

go with W32 - I have W31 which did fit me fine (if only the cut would work for me).

Always tts with sugar cane. 

unless it's one from the old natural indigo series...

Type 1:
Warehouse or CFS.

Earlier than Type 1:
Bowery Blue Maker or LVC.

crazy taper...

not sure what they did with the front rise, but they certainly reduced the number of buttons on the fly front opening.

How to increase the cost (not necessarily value) of your (not so cheap) jeans by at least 50-100%!

He doesn't like releasing denim if it isn't up to his satisfaction.  He's in the same realm with Roy regarding quality vs quantity.
...

in terms of how to conduct business he's clearly not in the same league as Roy!
just saying...

not sure if this more than a single watch (or a handful at best) - seems to have been a vintage watch with a new dial for some type of raffle/gift at Samurai with an entry on the Samurai blog...easy to google.

I think they were made for the John Mung Museum in Japan and seem to have been based on an original description, drawing, picture or garment from that museum.

given the initial price, I would think it was a very limited rum...

I, personally, find it important and positive to have this stuff posted here.

it's an important part of TCB's commercial business and its development - I just hope they can find the right balance between authentic denim, collabs and new business ventures...
