  1. @MJF9 I was a bit surprised by the fit of the 42’s as well. I was expecting a bit more of a generous cut maybe more in line with the 43’s. I do really like how the 42’s I have fit (and most everything else about them - great denim, color, details, etc), but the cinch is basically useless - would have been nice to have had to snug it up. Comparing the SC 42’s to Freewheelers 42’s - both size 32” - there’s an appreciable difference. The FW’s are much more generous throughout and the cinch is needed.
  2. @chicote maybe another option? Leftfield -Work Uniform Chino (Duck)
  3. @Well27 There’s a shop here in the town I live that has a penchant for this style… I can say that the labels they carry are great, and if you’re looking for interesting fabrics, dyeing techniques, laid back loose vibes they may be worth checking out. To name a few: Taiga Takahashi, EG, Herill, Auralee, Camiel Fortgens, Monostereo, Niceness, and as previously mentioned by @ATWM Cottle and Story Mfg. (and, yes, prices are out there…). I don’t own any pieces by these brands as they don’t really resonate with my ‘style’ (or lack there of, honestly), but I certainly appreciate what they’re doing.

    @Topnotcher 32” in stock https://www.dant.us/collections/warehouse-co/products/lot-1001xx-13-5oz-1947-model-unsanforized-selvedge-denim-indigo?variant=46520714887387 Incorrect denim... Apparently the denim used for the model in the link above is Banner denim, and not DSB. Thanks @indigoeagle for pointing that out.
  5. I'm not sure if you're looking for these s601XX 1945, or just calling them out, but Speedway currently has them in stock.
  6. Here are some progress images of my ‘super denim collectibles’ 1946. I’ve never had 2 of the same pair to really to a side by side like this before, and kind of cool to see (IMO, of course). The worn pair is a sz 33” (up one from my usual size) and unworn 32”. I’ve been wearing since roughly the beginning of 2024 pretty much everyday for the first 8 months and after that wearing M-F and rotating different pairs on the weekend. I think I’ve washed 5 or 6 times - when I’ve felt like it. This is typically the kind of fade I like, and the stage when I would stop wearing and start to break in a new pair, but I plan on keeping these going. I really like them.
  7. The s1945 arrived about 10 days ago. I purchased them raw and have soaked them in the tub followed by a trip through the machine and hung outside to dry. I’ve yet to wear them. The fabric, as @beautiful_FrEaK mentioned, is quite neppy and rough - it really came alive after the soak/wash. Comparing the fabric to the s43 and 46 that I have, it’s closer in hand to the s43, where the 46 is quite smooth with a more ‘regular’ feel/texture. The difference in the color and dye used is quite apparent, and with the s45, I like that the weft is in a more natural/undyed state (see image - s43 on left and s45 on right). I really like the pairs I have - from the different fabrics, dyes, hardware, sewing, etc. I’m certainly no historian, but I really appreciate the effort SC has put into this line. Here are my pairs from top: s43, s45, 46 (unworn), 46 (worn consistently since I got them at the ~beginning of 2024, can’t remember exactly). weft comparison: s43 on left s45 on right
  8. @julian-wolf I read his post as $50 shipping on top of ~$40 USD for the magazine… so… even with shipping (and tax depending on where he’s located), he’d still be coming out on top if he bought through the link I provided…

  10. @MJF9 they've probably seen 30 days of wear, so not too much happening. My 46 on the other hand are really coming along (in my opinion anyway... I'm a loyal member of the slow-fades club). The 43 may become my daily pair after the 46. We'll see, there are some other pairs in my closet that are in the running for the daily pair, so the 43 may just continue to be in the weekend rotation, but I really enjoy wearing them.
  11. This is funny. Model years aside, the denim they created for the s43 and 46 are vastly different from each other. I'm looking forward to seeing how the denim on the s45 and whatever other models they come out with is like and hope it's equally as good and interesting. Overall, the 46 has become one of my favorite pairs that I've ever worn.
  12. ^ Couching my post as someone here may have more accurate and informed info than me… below is my own visual comparison between the s43 and 46 that I own / have been wearing for the past year and comparing that to the fit pics of the s45 at Toyo. I haven’t seen measurements for the s45 posted anywhere. A few months ago I reached out to Barnstormer re: measurements and asked if they had any idea and they said they didn’t. With that, and I could be way off here, but judging by the fit at the Toyo link below it looks like the s1945 are full in the top block and thighs with a slight taper from the knee down. The s43 is pretty straight and full throughout and the 46 has slimmer top block and thighs with slight taper from knee down. I have both the s43 and 46 and looking at the pics the s45 appears to merge those 2 cuts, but again, that’s just me making a visual comparison based on the fit pics at Toyo along with how the 43 and 46 fit me… In any case, I’m looking forward to seeing actual measurements and since I haven’t that what’s really been keeping me from preordering. https://store.toyo-enterprise.co.jp/smartphone/detail.html?id=000000002625
  13. @Ciabatta according to Toyo, spring 2025… Barnstormer has them available for preorder currently and states arrival as June 2025. Who knows if there will be delays, though.
  14. What’s everyone’s initial thought on the denim? The overall construction looks really well done, and pre-soak fits all look great. Looking forward to following along 👍
