  1. guys, if you ever see me in person feel free to punch me in the face for asking this question for the 1000th time:  Measurements on TCB website are post wash yes?  So a size 34 Seamens pant measures out at about 34.5"?  Did/do they continue to shrink if you nuke 'em in a hot wash?  And do they stretch much?  I could pull off a 32 if thats as small as the waist gets given the generous measurements everywhere else and they do stretch.  Ideally I would get a 33" waist but alas not made...

  2. Rant:  I am absolutely not interested in any company (denim or other) that markets their brand this way.  Secret, on a need to know basis, get the fuck out of here. At the end of the day, unless they offer up something unique, it will just be another brand in a sea of brands.  

     

    I hate this type of internet marketing where there has to be a different, unique aspect to the brand that they feel that the consumer should feel blessed to be a part of.  Like they are doing us a favor by letting us be a part of something by buying the product.  This usually means an average product that without the marketing spin, would not stand out in any way.

     

    I dont wish ill will on them, but to me, its just more noise.  

  3. Ha, and those Toy's McCoy boots like two nipples in an artistic selfie, just enough out of focus to let the mind wander... :blink:

  4. Sleeve length and shoulders are both a touch shorter on the 175 but not a huge difference. Biggest difference is in the chest and length. I just throw the shirts in with the rest of my general laundry and wash and dry on medium settings. Both of these have been washed and dried at least 30 times or so.  

    can you give a real world length measurement for both sizes please?  

    based on tezo's web site a 175cm has a 39" chest and a 27" length.  The 185 has a 43" chest and is around 29" long.  

  5. well, I ordered a 185 and plan to just treat it like my underwear so hopefully I get 2" shrink on the length front and I'll be golden.  Looking forward to getting the shirt, been thinking about a Tezomeya for a few years at this point.  

  6. Once the insole takes on your footprint a bit they should not feel as big.  I tend to always feel like I sized incorrectly when i get new boots but once they break in its all good.  I say give it some time, unless you are sliding all over the place.  Proper fit >> boot authenticity

  7. the jeans shrink from around tag size , ill take some measurements of my pair later . Yoshiaki will provide measurements upon request but only the waist measurements it seems  :D between buying these and the pair of s409xxx m-47 i ordered last week all i received was the waist measurement 

    haha, the more stressful the ordering experience the more authentic!

  8. any measurements floating around?  

     

    The waist on those ww2 looks different to me.  I have never seen that taper in and then flare.  Does that fit different or does it resolve itself through wear?

     

    and i must say, more brands need to use those donut buttons.  I love the understated simplicity they offer.
