46 are live now.

Ol Shanks looks really nice. Michiya Suzuki really does a great job. I found Mr Okuyama from Fukurokuju very friendly. There is just the waiting time. But you might be lucky and he has a pair in your size in stock. But I don't think, that horse hide is standard. But perhaps he can also offer that. Makers and Attractions/Biltrite are also great looking. As of course also Clinch.

I'd also have a look at Keystone (waiting time about a year, though), Ol Shanks and also Jelado/Two Monkeys. The first one can probably also manufacture larger sizes. I don't know about the size range of the other two.

The SC site shows NW and OW options.

A pair of these might qualify for an exception ;D So calender is marked. Or are there any pre-order options already? I've seen some listings for the jackets and the 1943, but not yet for the 1946 (only on the SC site). This latest Clutchman video is also interesting. In it, the owner of the original jeans and jackets, vintage denim collector Mr Wakiya, is appearing. If I understood it correctly, he can't wear his vintage items due to their rare nature and of course high price and thus wanted Sugarcane to make replicas, so that he could wear them. He had worn or seen (not sure) the S1946 Made in USA model by SC and really liked it, so that he wanted SC to make replica of his dead stock models.

Very nice Stows. How did you size them? 9 UK?

What are people's experiences with the Lone Wolf engineer boots? I have had the Carpenters for many years. Very happy with them. Do they still produce?

Magnificent

Didn't know the band. Just checked. Great music. And another cool belt.

Good to know. Thank you Lot 269 would be the same size as Iron Rangers then, I think.

How did you size, say compared to RW IRs or Alden Barrie?

But there seems to be also a different fit. The Lot 269 apparently fit 0.5 bigger than the Lot 444. Not sure, if the styling is the same.

They look great. Congrats How are the Lot 444 different from the Lot 269?

All nice, but 43 the favorite from these pics.

Well, with the texture it somehow felt a little aged as it came. Didn't require any time to get softer or so. I'm very it occasionally, still the same.

Lovely stuff. Great examples for what makes FW so special. I also have the Jenkins. The flannel fabric is amazing. Great weight, amazing texture, and unique cut and details.

Is there a historic reference to the Lot numbering?

Timeless boots, I'd say, of good quality. Great for the colder months. Can't do wrong, I think. But also what Maynard says: we all know that situation, I think.

I've got some from beams+,and also kamakura and gitman. Very happy with all of them. No shirt from workers yet.

There had been some question about oxford shirts. Workers has a preorder on, I think, for what looks like solid, classical oxford shirts.

Melton wool is a good idea. Shearling vest should also work.

No mention on the site of any coating. High quality products. They also have Ventile Down Jackets. Pretty amazing. https://www.phdesigns.co.uk/ventile-down-jackets I think, traditionally ventile was not treated, but has been in recent years.

Also a good idea. But I like these "nano" down vests. You can wear them under a jeans jacket, too instance. Just wondering, if some company has specialised on untreated jackets, i.e. no chemicals. Perhaps no market for that.

Does anyone know of a down vest, that is not treated with any kind of chemical water repellent coat? To wear as an inner layer. Cotton fabric would be great.

Are the non-indigo crew sweats at Klaxon still non-wash, and thus will shrink? Looks like the indigo one got a make over and is pretty long now, no?
