    Pretty slow today here.

    Strassburger Saw this on Jah Haze/Organ's website. Apparently they haven been making jeans for Japanese and international brands since the 70s. Two jeans with zipper- a wider and a slimmer fit and a WWII jacket.

    This has always been the situation in the EU with tariffs and fees for the shipping companies (besides the shipping fee they charge 8 to 15 EUR for doing the customs payment procedure), whether you buy from Japan, US or UK or anywhere else outside the EU.

    Inspired by @chicote's recent WAYWT pic, I looked into vintage Gant shirts. Apparently in the 60s for some time they were the world second largest producer of shirts. I saw these details of their shirts on one vintage packaging. Sensible high quality points.

    Nice video. Would have been even better to see how the tux would have looked worn by him and whether the fit is wider or tighter.

    Is sleek an English word for pocket bags or where does it come from?

    They are really doing cool stuff at Samurai with their local cotton farm and their openness towards collaborations like the one with Slash. https://www.instagram.com/top_americanclothing/reel/DN2T29SXpz6

    My impression is, that while SC and BR are more work wear military repro, Gold is a less constrictred brand, perhaps a bit more fashion and artsy. Perhaps what Made&Crafted was with Levis Vintage. I think, they're also on a bit higher price level.

    Alright. You know, that they fit small, right? At least for the 20s jacket my 48 fits more like a 44.

    Nice combination of colours. Also the LW linemans (I guess) match well.

    If it's O/W isn't the remaining shrinkage rather negligible? I mean the fades would just move a tiny bit, no?

    Not sure, which size you need or which country you'd like to buy from. It's available in a number of sizes in this Japanese shop.

    Has anyone got experience with the Dapper's or Cushman 50s sneakers? Looks like some are/were made in Taiwan, but some also in Japan.

    Has anyone used the Blackship proxy service yet? (Just saw: "From the creators of Japan Rabbit.")

    This is their shop page: https://www.e-cream.jp/ Rakuten: https://www.rakuten.co.jp/auc-cream-r/ You can write them an inquire message here: https://www.e-cream.jp/login/inquiryedit

    Very nice. Aren't they N/W, so they should shrink quite a bit. Which size did you choose?
  17. indigoeagle
    48 sounds right. I als wear a L in the Detroit and I have the 20s jacket in 48. Not sure about the other jackets but they're probably similarly sized. With TCB it's better to size up when one is not sure, is my experience.

    Nice, love Crete. I think, the Raki there is more like Grappa. The Turkish Raki is like Ouzo or Pastis, Pernod. They are very friendly there and one gets offered Raki all the time. The food can be a bit heavy (if you have say an anticristo) and the Raki makes it surprisingly easy to digest. You got to try some sheep or goat ice cream. And try the Mastica taste, kind of special. There is also a mineral water infused with Mastica (supposed to be good for the stomach). I really like Rethimno. Perhaps an idea. Also, if you have the time- go to Spili. Nice chill town. Nearby is a herb garden and store with a restaurant. Amazing stuff like Mountain tea and salad herbs and much more. From Spili you can go to Preveli beach. In Chania I remember a nice old cafe/bistro near the fountain in the center of town. Perhaps you've been there already. Enjoy your trip

    FromJapan or ZenM shouldn't be a problem. And you still have the de minimis for a few weeks, no?

    I offered a pair of jeans to a friend a few years ago, but he didn't like them. There are not many maniacs like us.

    No cigarette?

    Has anyone from the EU sold something on grailed recently? I've sold a few items there over the years. Friendly buyers. But the fees were very complicated and added up to something like 15-25%. Ebay is for free at the moment. If you have sold something, how much was subtracted from the sales price? They're writing 9% commission and 4.99% payment fee- 14%. Quite a bit. I think, it was even more. Any other idea where to sell items that we're talking about here besides StyleForum (sold a bit there), reddit rawdenim, TFL (never sold anything there), IH forum (sold a bit there)?

    I think, there a lots of videos, articles and discussions on luxury goods, that state that they were "made in Italy" or "Swiss made". Apparently sometimes whole suits were made abroad except for the buttons, which were then finished in Italy and that was still enough to call them "made in Italy". But what if the act of attaching the buttons in Italy is more expensive than sewing the suit somewhere else, so that part would be more than 50% of the cost of manufacturing?

    In that discussion anothers case gets alluded to. Amazing in many ways. https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2021/07/13/richard-hajjar-bianca-de-la-garza-alden/

    Yes, interesting fact. They're writing, that 9oz in the old linear yard standard equals 11.6oz in loomstate and 12.75oz once sanforized. So the 10oz that is on the Levi's labels would translate to 12.9oz and 14.17oz resp..
