Someone had asked about longer type 1 jackets. This is one option. For size 4 (L/XL) in a one/wash with shoulders 51cm and chest 59cm it has a back length of 71cm (vs. say a WH or FWs in 42 or 44 with around 61cm). This is also offered for a very reasonable price of JPY 19,800. The denim is 14oz selvedge, apparently all made/produced in Japan: Kurashiki, Okayama. https://acidhouse.stores.jp/items/679c8667b859d3030c0ff020

For people looking for denim chinos. I just saw, that Jelado will issue a denim version of their 41 chino. I've got the khaki 41 and am very happy with it. Great fabric, nice details and a comfy fit. The denim version uses their 10.5oz blue tag Last Resort denim, that they developed for their reproduction of the Lee 91J chore coat, so like the Jelt denim. They seem to be in pre-order now. https://jelado.com/products/jelado-41-denim-ag94341da?variant=49464600133920

Wasn't there also an 8chan or so? Sure, I could google it (like some people nowaday reply when you ask them something), but I prefer your insight on it

How is the inseam of the L32? It seems to be 82cm in raw.

Congrats- nice find. The "S" would indicate a 1945 version. But the stitching on the back of the fly is quite neat, perhaps 1946? Is the denim more dark or more blueish?

Jep, very nice fading and colour. Also beautiful grain on the denim. It looks more regular when new, I find.

Talking about wabash- there is also an interesting indigo wabash corduroy fabric. Fullcount have recently issued a few items made out of it like a cap, pants and chore coat. A few years ago also Colimbo and Sugarcane had some pants. Fullcount: Colimbo Waterloo EZ pants Sugarcane CORDUROY WABASH TROUSERS

I think, the trackwalker wabash shirts used to be items of the permanent collection. But you're right, I think, that they haven't been issued in a long time, while there were reissues of the wabash chore coat for example and vest, I think in the recent years.

Thanks, guys. I saw, that a number of shops received first the N/W and now the O/W versions and there are still many sizes available.

That's a great shop. Time to exchange some buckles.

I saw the same image at first.

They seem to sell very quickly. Mirrorball and Wolfpack are sold out in most sizes. They just got listed yesterday or so.

You've probably seen the new FW 1945 second half jeans. It seems, that this model with light denim pocket bags, WWII denim, crotch rivet, no coin pocket rivets, no cinch, was produced from the second half of 1942 to the second half of 1945. Most likely there were different models produced in parallel, i.e. with HBT or flannel pockets. There were probably also different denims and cuts in use over the war time.

FWs has now issued their crotch rivet, no cinch, denim pocket bags model. They categorize it as Second Half of 1945. I think with the Spring 25 presentation there had been some teasers. Apparently this model was produced from the latter half of 1942 until the latter half of 1945. Pics from Wolfpack and Mirrorball.

I think, after the first wash I folded them back. But after another wash they're fine. The 1933 (I think, it was also described as 1933-34) 506XX size 48 measures as follows: shoulder to shoulder- 55cm pit to pit- 65 cm shoulder to cuff- 61cm back length- 65cm The 1930s 506XX in size 40 (NW/rinsed only) measures: shoulder to shoulder- 48cm pit to pit- 56 cm shoulder to cuff- 63cm back length- 59cm

Yes, 48. It works as a wide, comfy fit. The 40 is more a 42. Here is the 1933-34 jacket in size 48. Freewheelers Lot506XX 1933-34 • GroundAlls • Sugarcane 1947

Thanks It works well with just a t-shirt. A more snuggish fit. I mentioned the year, because that style (they called it EARLY 1900s 1st Generation Denim Jacket 1930s MODEL) hasn't been issued much more after that, I think. It's got no tab, a black cinch. Probably more details. The denim is: Original 14oz Indigo Denim. But the weft is "with a slightly beige color". Not sure, if that is normal for the original denim. They tweaked it a few times, I think. I think, I got this one with the intention of wearing it unwashed. That's why I got it in 40 and not my then usual 42. For a more comfy fit for example I got the 1933 one in 48. The jeans should be in the WAYWT. I think, it's WH 1946 25th anni.

On that nice blog -and I also saw insta- unfortunately hasn't been any new posts in half a year.

I got one of their black freedom sleeve sweatshirts. Very nice, shorter (but not too short) boxy cut, sturdy fabric. Apparently they did a lot of research on the design.

British lads' comedy hour - terrific 😃 I had to burst out laughing.

So, I've looked again into the different types of denim by WH for the years 30-50s. Besides the well known banner (7x7, ca. 13.5/13.75oz) and Memphis cotton denim (6x6, 14.5oz) there are at least three different other ones. 1. The new denim, WWII denim. I think, this was first introduced with the 25th anniversary pair S1001XX (1946) (perhaps earlier?). This denim is not DSB and has an orange selvedge. It's 6.7x6.6, ca. 14oz. And quite coarse. The relatively recent Duck Digger Lot S1003XX (1944 MODEL) (with the flannel pocket bags) is also of that denim. 1946 model: 1944 model: 2. Then there are two DSB. Both have a pink selvedge. I guess, the idea is, that same as the denim has changed by oxidation in the decades of the storage, the selvedge lines have also changed. Same with the tab, which is also pink in some pairs. The suffix (1000XX) seems to indicate DSB. For jackets (2000XX). a) the lighter one 7.5x7.5 ca. 13oz Used for example for the 1953 and 1954 pairs. Also for the Lot.2001XX(2000XX) blanket lined jacket and the 1936 model. b) the heavier one 6.7x6.6, ca. 14oz. The Lot S1003XX(1000XX)【1942MODEL】is made of this denim. 1942 model:
