Regarding the different denim fabrics. Here is a interesting comparison of the WH 1936 type 1 model Lot 2001XX(2000XX) (which was first released around three years ago, Jan. 2022; ca. 13.7oz, I couldn't find any exact weight number, it's stated as 7.5x 7.5 pink selvedge in Dead Stock Blue) and the Duck Digger Standard Type 1 Lot DD-2001 (in Banner denim 13.5oz, 7x7). As can be seen from ca. 00:37 onwards the 1936 DSB on the left is more blue, while the DD banner denim type 1 on the right is more red cast, they even say purple. The DSB they say is meant to resemble a new old stock denim, that has been sleeping somewhere for decades, while the banner denim is supposed to be close to what vintage denim looks like.

Thanks I hadn't been aware, that that flannel lined jacket had only four buttons. Nice- 1946.

Which jacket was this? With the pocket flap, but still only four buttons?

Thanks, beautiful nature around me probably has helped and the uncanny skills of my friend who took the pic

Recently stumbled upon these: Good Old Co.. They have a 1943XX jeans. And a 1942XX denim jacket.

It seems many brands have at least these two different types: Like FC their normal and the XX. FWs the standard denim (51 and 47 (with different dyeing) and the WWII one (plus the 1937 one) and Jelado the White Tag Last Resort (more 50s, blueish, softer) and Black Tag Last Resort (40s, a bit heavier and coarser) among others.

I find in the colder weather here in Northern Europe around 0C I prefer the slightly heavier WWII denim. When it gets a bit warmer the Banner denim is perhaps a bit more comfortable to wear. What is interesting is, that the denim and the DSB seem to be two different parts. For instance the 1942 pair is of the WWII denim and with the DSB, while the 1944 pair seems to be the same denim but is not advertised as DSB. They look a bit differently with the non-DSB being a bit darker, which makes sense since the DSB is supposed to reflect some oxidisation from many decades of storage.

The 1942 model came out like two or three years ago. It was reissued half a year ago or so. Both the 1942 model and the DD 1944 model are the WWII denim:6.7番×6.6番 14.5oz. Also the recent Hinoya 75th anniversary model (1003HXX-DSB) is in that denim. As well as the the 25 year anniversary S1001XX (1946). I like it quite a lot. It's quite sturdy and coarser. The denim varieties are still quite confusing to me. We know there is the banner denim (three state) (one DD 1947 a.o. in that) and the heavier XX memphis denim (like the 800XX and 900XX as well as the Lot 1001 Heavy Ounce). And then there are two pink selvedge denim: one a bit lighter 7.5x7.5 and one a bit heavier: the above mentioned 6.7x6.6. It seems that they can come in DSB or not. I think the war models are all in the heavier one. Models like the Lot 1001XX(1000XX)【1954 MODEL】and the Lot 1001XX(1000XX)【1947MODEL】are in the lighter one. Recently I read about a new denim. And if I recall correctly there was also a orange selvedge denim ;D

Interesting. Is the 41 the same as the Hinoya 75th year anniversary, i.e. reversed yoke? And the 42 with the denim pocket bags and the crotch rivet?

Good choice to use that opportunity. We've had mostly overcast skies, all grey, for the last three months. Sometimes (like once a week) you get a bit of blue sky in the morning, but by noon it's somehow grey again.

Great Especially lovely the mostly blue sky.

I have just tried on the super smooth 0105 in 33. And I found them much wider than my "normal" 0105 in 34. I then checked the measurements on the maker site and it confirmed, what I had noticed. But perhaps this pair was a bit wider. Not sure. But good to hear that you found them to fit basically the same. I think, it has been stated by some users here that they found the waist to fit about one size bigger. So I'll probably stick with the 33 in these.

Are the Super Smooth wider in the thighs? From the FC site: 1101 XX 34- watari- 30.5cm 1101SuperSmooth- 34- watari- 33cm Hem is also 0.5cm wider.

Sure, welcome. Previously 32-34. These past two years 34 or 36, due to some weight gain and a new preference for more comfortable fits. FW1937 fit me well in 33. But FW1951 good fit would be 34, but I got the 36 for a wider, comfy fit. This could also be said for most WH jeans (34 and 36).

I got them in XL. These days I tend to go for the larger size. They don't fit too large. L might have been too slim. I also got the Overland Campaign Trousers in 36. The Keystone sweatshirt, which is a nice heavy weight, with a vintage fit in XL. All great stuff.
