When it's really hot I like to wear the FW M-1942 shorts, khaki and olive HBT. Very happy with them. Hopefully they get released again. The Wild One stil has the khaki in 32 and olive in 30, I saw. I have the khaki in 34 and the olive in 32. The 32 is a bit tight.

Thank you. I was looking specifically into the SDA repro, the 4187. That seems to be very slim. Some repros keep the sleeve and back lengths with the sizes 44 and above, just increasing the chest and shoulder widths. With the SDA one for the longer sizes it seems that back lengths and sleeves also get larger. So, I'm not sure about the fit. It looks pretty cool and has a fair price.

Does anyone have a Storm Rider Jacket, blanket lined? Apparently they fit very slim. Anyone got a 46 or even 48? If so, does the length stay the same compared to say the 44 or do they get longer with each bigger size?

According to Celluloid these Big E seem to fit quite big. They still have some 33, 34 and 36. https://www.celluloid1984.com/?pid=174462422 【W34】ウエスト内周-95cm ワタリ-33cm 前股上-32cm 股下-90cm 裾幅-22cm

I've got some jeans where the fabric above the fly (not sure, how that's called) is not staying flush on top, but kind of twisted. Not sure, if you mean that. But I think the reason for that, in my case, is, that the jeans are too tight for me. Or perhaps something else is the reason. Those jeans also have very pronounced whiskers due to the denim fabric getting pulled to the sides. -
Thanks I had read that, but it didn't have the info I was looking for.

Thanks I had that happen with two sanforised denim jackets, too, that they shrunk a bit. With the linings it can vary, some linings are more cotton, some poly and some predominantly wool, (which I'm looking at now) and thus shrink differently. I'd also think, that wool would shrink more than denim with a warmer/hot wash. Not sure, if the lining would suffer then if shrunk taut and thus under pressure. It will probably stretch again. Don't know. The TCB Storm Cats Drive jacket is probably also raw (edit: it's one wash). https://tcbjeans.stores.jp/items/656540bff55a3005bb703691 Also this one from Sugarcane, which is mostly offered in O/W, but can also be found in N/W. https://store.toyo-enterprise.co.jp/shopdetail/000000001304/

What are people's experiences with shrinking wool blanket lined denim jackets? Will the lining shrink more than the denim with a hot wash?

A very interesting video. For the 46 Nihon Menpu constructed a new shuttle compared to the one used for the 47 fabric. With that it is lower tension and the production output per day is even lower.
-
Like most here I don't need anymore jeans, but find this repro project so meticulously done and also nicely documented, that I wanted to supported it and also got one.

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.
