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)?

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.

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.

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.

Details on the upcoming jeans and jacket.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Probably true for most financial investments like stocks.

I wear Red Wings in 10, Alden Barrie in 10.5. I got some Quodys (Grizzly boots) in 10. But they are tight. 10.5 would be better.

Has anyone understood the system behind that labeling? I thought it might have been the denim and in brackets the cut. But then there are 1001xx(1000) 1947 and 1001xx(1000) 1953, I think.

I think, a 34 would fit you well. My equivalent to your 41.5cm is 44.5cm. I got the 50s in 34 and they fit well overall but are quite tight in the waist and hip. 36 would have been better for me.

Sure. That's what makes them so special and merits the release of a model of that vintage.

Regarding the classification, it seems that there are two halfs in 1942. The FW model references the early half, with still cinch and coin pocket rivets present, while for example the Warehouse 1942 model is based on a pair of the later half of 1942, with painted arcuates, no coin pocket rivets, denim cloth pocket bags (sleaks?), but still with the crotch rivet. Also the denim is coarser ralready.

I'd say, that the BR Orig Spec fit a bit smaller. The 36 is closer to the WH 34. I think. It might be a bit bigger. But very similar. I got the Orig Spec in 34, but then got a pair in 36, which I prefer as it is more comfortable.

The TCB looks good. The SDA one is nice, but on the slim side.

Do we know, when Levi's had used raised belt loops and when not? Was this only in the war models? I had a look at the pics on the TCB website. On the vintage 30s (on the bottom) we can see, what looks like raised belt loops. For the 40s/WWII model I can't really tell. In the first and last picture, they look raised. In the second one they look flat. I think, the text on the left in the second picture says, that they are raised (中高). Not sure, though.
