  1. Yes, Orslow has great stuff. The hickory pants look good. But there hickory is the 50/50. It seems that the current Headlight pants will fade, so I'm leaning towards them.
  2. The wikihow is already very informative. Are there any videos by experts explaining these techniques in more detail and showing the various fits?
  3. How do you like hickory items? When looking at pics of someone wearing a pair of hickory pants to me they look quite whiteish. Probably because I'm so used to looking at denim. These are the Samurai pants. However, when I just look at the fabric it's different, darker. And there are different kinds of hickory. Sugar Cane has been issuing Headlight work pants. The current one is about 2/3 blue and 1/3 white. A previous version was more 50/50. The previous one is indigo. I'm not sure, if the current one is also indigo. But probably. Hickory can be combined nicely with denim and probably also brown duck. Here are the pants with a denim jacket. Does anyone have experience with hickory pants? I'm looking for a comfortable fit (wide, high waisted), and more blue than white and in indigo for fades. The Samurai look really nice but are relatively heavy at 17oz. And I'd like to wear the hickory pants in warmer months. The Sugar Cane/Headlight is 11oz, which would be better. Nudie Jeans has a chore coat and pants in 8.5oz. Eat Dust has also offered pants and jacket. There are also some by Stan Ray, Dickies and other. But I'm not sure, if the fabric is indigo.

    In Germany it's still very sensitive. You'd get into trouble with Native American/South West inspired jewelry, jackets, etc.. Recently there has been some argument about this window iron of the Town Hall of Lichtenberg, a district of Berlin. https://www.bz-berlin.de/berlin/hakenkreuz-rathaus-lichtenberg
  5. Thanks 🙏 Got it now. So we have left/right and top/bottom (yoke). Cool
  6. Ah, thanks. I didn't get it then. I thought the "layering" order of the panels is the yoke switch, but they are two things. What is the yoke switch then?
  7. I'd say the XL is similar to a 42. For a more comfortable fit I got the XXL. I think, only Junky has it.
  8. Ah, there were two switches? I thought it was just one. Or are there two versions for 1937 jeans: both right over left (what LVC, FW and TBC a.o. or doing) and also left over right? 1922 FW 1937 FW 1942 FW 1945 FW 1947 FW 1951 FW
  9. Cushman has put its 2024 FW catalogue online. There are some nice pieces in there. Type 1 jacket and 1937 jeans. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kcfV2Uq_ZWjzvxrWv9E9dEe2EmCgjwke/view They are both made with vintage sewing machines. 41 Weapon Cloth pants Duck jackets in light brown and black The tshirts from the summer catalogue are also sewn with vintage machines. The made in Taiwan sneakers are also nice. All have relatively fair prices, I find.
  10. On Bears Rakuten I get the normal Japanese prices.
  11. Do we know why the yoke was switchted around that time from right on top (like the 1937 versions) to left on top (which seems to have been the standard for all models afterwards at least the WWII models, 47s and 50s)?
  12. I like both the Kamakura standard and Ivy OBDC shirts. Just the sizing can be tricky. Another good option I find are the Beams+ shirts. They're made in Japan. The Jelado one is probably also very good.
  13. Very good point. I have a few pairs where the waist is fine, the thigh is fine, but there is too much tension in the hip area. Whiskers are prominent, but it's too much.
  14. Funny, that you mention them. I saw a pair recently, that was quite unique. Haven't tried them on yet. Autry have been very popular these last years in Europe. Are they known in the US? I think, they are originally from the US, but have been revived recently by Italians.
  15. Details on the upcoming jeans and jacket.
  16. If you care about the taste and quality of the coffee, like has been suggested, you can do a few things without danger of turning into an influencer. Coffee beans that were roasted on lower temperatures for a longer time. Only with a pressure of around 9bar apparently, which espresso machines generate (either with a pump or traditionally with the lever like the La Pavoni) can you extract the whole profile of flavours out of the bean with the crema oils, leaving the bitter components in the bean. The cafetiere, mocca stove top thing, reaches around 3bar, I think, but also not bad. If you don't want to put another gadget into your kitchen, you might like the 9barista. Made in the UK. It's similar to a stove top cafetiere, but manages to create the 9bar pressure. And a good grinder can make a difference. I used an old fashioned Zassenhausen. That was alright. But then I switched to a Comandante. There really was a difference in taste. The advantage of the 9barista and Comandante combo is that you can take it with you on trips. For cappuccino or flat whites, if you don't have an espresso machine with a steamer, I had good results, similar to MF with a little bodum jar, in which you also pump the hot milk. You don't get the nice micro foam, which to me tastes best, but it's not too shabby. The La Pavoni doesn't actually take that much space. At a friend's place I recently saw the Zuriga espresso machine, also very compact and minimalistic, but more expensive.
  17. Waiper issued a year ago and now again the LVC 36 506 jacket in soze 48, apparently world wide exclusively. They're showing fits here for different people in rigid, washed and also after tumble drying. From 18:50 on. Pretty cool, how far these shops go to explain the goods they sell and help people with sizing questions.
  18. Talking about sizing up. Apparently Waiper has exclusively offered a LVC 1936 506 in size 48 last year and is doing so again. Their employees have been wearing the jacket for a year and are showing the development. With wearing oversized being hip for some time now, we can sometimes see cases, where it's too much, but, I think, that is not the case here.
  19. He's doing that here. From 09:50 on: 34 and 36. I have the 51 in W33. The are a bit tight, kind of slim straight. Recently got them in 36. Very comfortable to wear and not too big.
  20. From 06:30 on the guy tries on the 47s in three different sizes: 34, 36 and 38. Interesting to see. While I've been wearing mostly 34 in jeans and 42 in jackets for a not tight, not wide fit, in the last year I've been getting some pants in 36 and some jackets in 46 and both work quite well IMHO.
  21. Apparently there are only a handful of vintage war jeans with flannel pockets. TCB has just started a pre-order for their new pair. They found a pair with different ones.
  22. The grizzly boots with the rubber sole to me are basically barefoot shoes. I always take out the insole with the raised part in the middle/arch support.
