Is this the same as with FWs denim jackets? The cloth on the button on the inside of the packet? I think, I haven't seen that in another jacket besides FW's.

Fades might be a new one. But dyeing has been there for 1,300 years at least: dorozome mud dyeing in Japan. https://www.timeandtide.info/post/filthy-rich-visvim-s-mud-dye-obsession

I had a pair of very wide sugarcane denim chinos from Lofgren. While I wasn't into slim jeans, I had found these too wide and sold them. Also a paif of Cone denim Rising Sun Navy USN work pants.

I think the 1937s will be reissued soon. Can't remember where I had read that. Perhaps you're interested in those. But of course no WWII denim, but still different from the standard FW one.

I'm wondering whether they had different versions. The boot in this pic⇧ looks a bit wider than these from the VEB blog, where the toe looks flatter and also slimmer.

I remember the engineer boots. They looked really nice. Strange, that they didn't continue them. I think, the Shop of The Hill Side had them.

Cushman, especially with the freedom sleeves (somehow they're a bit different from the set in sleeves version), are really nice. For heavyweight I can also highly recommend the Colimbo ones. I had written about them in the sweatshirt thread, I think. Also the GroundAlls one. But that one is not MIJ. I'd say, they're medium length. The most cropped one I've ever had is the Real McCoys (McCoy’s Sporting Goods Co) Set in sleeves, Oatmeal, one. Even though it's XL its back length is 56cm. Another RMC one in XL has a back length of 64cm.

Yes, great stuff. And especially the jacket. Also nice the commemoration tags and stamps and lovely silver bracelet.

I find the Converse sizing confusing. Normally US sizes are one size bigger than UK sizes. But on my it says: "UK 11 US 11 (29.5cm) EU 45" So, yes, a 28 would be a US 9.5, but also a UK 9.5, unless the system somehow changes below 11.

The guy on the left says, that in NB he's wearing a 28 and the Danner Postman 1 in 26.5. Comparing the Danner Postman with the Redwing one, he recommends a size smaller in the Danner compared to the Redwing one. The Danner width is EE, the RW one is D. Regarding the weight: on one shop site it says, that the Danner 2 sole, the Vibram one, is lightweight. But in the video they are saying that the Postman 1 was very light, so they made the Postman 2 heavier to give it more of a boots feeling. The sizing for the Danner Postman 1 and 2 seems to be the same. On the Stumptown website "staff D" is wearing 26 in both. He's wearing: NIKE AIR FORCE 1 ：27.5cm ADIDAS STAN SMITH：28.0cm CONVERSE ALL STAR ：28.0cm The is a waterproof Postman, too, by Danner. https://store.stumptownjapan.com/shop/g/g6815250001018/ In it he wears 27. In the RW Iron Ranger D is wearing a 26.5. In the RW Moc boot in D he's also wearing a 26.5. And in the RW Postman - like they recommend- a 27. So half a size below your Red Wing size, it seems, if you know that. Or 2 below the Converse All Star.

Just some quick research infos: It looks like both the Danner (1) postman and the postman 2 are made in Japan. The 2 is made of oiled leather and has a lighter sole. Prices are generally JPY 36,300 and 38,500 resp.. I'll now listen to the video.

The colours unfortunately don't really come out on the pic. But it gives an idea. So why not. On the very left Freewheelers 46/47- it has the bluest colour of the three Warehouse Duckdigger DD 2001- Banner denim, the darkest denim Warehouse 1936 model 7.5x7.5 Dead Stock Blue- this has the "oxidized" quality of having stayed in a warehouse for decades that is the idea of DSB
