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

Denim Blunders, Reflections and General Nonsense.
indigoeagle replied to cmboland's topic in superdenim
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 denim of the 2025 Wide model.

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

Yesterday I saw a clip by Rite Stuff showing their "Tweeduroy" it was called, I think. It looked very similar to your trousers. -
Forgot to say, that Mirror Ball is describing/quoting FWs 1951 Type 2 jacket here.
-
I think 42 and 44 have the side strips and from 46 on it's the t-back. From Mirror Ball: " * Sizes 42 and 44 feature side panels. * Due to fabric constraints, sizes 46 and 48 feature a seam along the center back."

So they are selvedge? Twelve years ago or so I had bought a raw Levis made in Mexico 501 pair. They were quite a nice coarse denim. I had wanted to see how the fades compare with WH, etc.. But I sold them later.

Nice pants, I'd vote for black. -

indigoeagle replied to rnrswitch's topic in superdenim
Is that a loop, to the left of the right back pocket? Unique pants for sure. They have issued them in so many different fabrics. And they look great well worn.

UK8 in Brown is still available here. https://www.little-island.net/william-lennon-157l-hill-shoe-chromexcel-leather-brown/

Or do they just mean, that there is this toppy glued on? But below it's stitched through. Why would they lower their standards and just glue it all together (that's what you suspect, no)? It used to be both like here, no?
-
The W&A looks really nice. Perhaps Kurt will produce another batch with enough interest. Otherwise perhaps the Deluxeware/Dalees Stackman? It could be difficult to find the size available, though.

Available again

I've got the SDCs 45 and 46 in 34. I've also got the SC 47 in 34. But I had bought them in N/W. PSA used to offer them. Not sure, if still. Perhaps also Junky. Anyway, with careful shrinking and only one cold wash yet they fit me. But they are definitely tighter in the waist than the 45 and 46. Perhaps you could stretch out a O/W pair with some wear. It depends on the fit you want. In 34 it's a comfy but I'd say more straight fit, with 36 it would be wider (obviously). Waist wise the wider 2025 ones seem similar. I got those in O/W in 36 and they're still snug in the waist (will probably stretch a bit more). In any case, the 47s are a great pair, great cut and beautiful denim, for a fair price. Same for the wide ones. The 2025 wide ones have a reworked denim, I think. It's a bit neppier and irregular, I'd say than the denim of my 1947 pair from four years ago or so. I hope, that helps.
