  1. @JohnM I went with an 11.5 E, they feel like the right size lengthwise although I might’ve been able to get away with the standard width. So half a size down from Brannock for me. Some decent arch support, the soles on this pair are very springy. Was just traveling with them and they held up really well running through the airport.

  2. I really want the turn down collar jacket but I have to pump the brakes. It's already getting hot here so I wouldn't get much wear out of it this year. :sad:
    I might be planning a Japan trip soon (sooner than later if this job opportunity works out). If I do go I'll be sure to meet up with Seiichiro, I'm sure he'll try to sell me that sweater. :laugh2:

  3. Definitely agree with Julian here, I think the 601XX-C might be too wide in the thighs. It's a pretty relaxed cut, especially in the top block.
    While it's not a '37 model, FW will be releasing a '42 model soon (in the next few months) that has somewhat similar details.
    Those might still be a little wide, but by comparison they should be a little bit slimmer than the 601XX-C.

  4. Picked up a pair of Catchball sneakers,  pretty affordable from Musinsa (which I think is just a Korean proxy shop?).
    These are probably going to be my go-to for canvas sneakers going forward, the Ortholite sole is nice and cushioned.
    Canvas feels sturdy, unlike the US Rubber sneakers I got last year. I went for a size 30 which equates to US 12 and they feel great.

  5. Pre and post wash measurements for the w38, initial wash done as per OA's suggestion (1 hour bath soak in 40c water, cold wash and hang dried in the sun).
    I typically just chuck them into the washing machine, but felt like doing the whole bit for this pair. :blush:
    Pre wash:
    Waist: 38 in.
    Front rise: 13.5 in.
    Back rise: 17 in.
    Thigh: 14.5 in.
    Knee: 11 in.
    Hem: 10 in.
    Inseam: 36 in.

    Post wash:
    Waist: 35 in.
    Front rise: 12.5 in.
    Back rise: 17 in. (not sure how this didn't shrink?)
    Thigh: 14 in.
    Knee: 10 in.
    Hem: 9.75 in.
    Inseam: 33 in.

  6. I really like how wide the spread is between the inside and outside of the back pocket stitching (not sure exactly what to call this area, is there a name for it?).
    Looking forward to seeing how the denim wears in and living vicariously through y'all.

  7. Not sure about Thailand, but Singapore is the same way. If you buy a S$50k car you pay another S$50k to get it registered.
    Same rule applies to all of the super cars that are seemingly everywhere.
    Given their limited space and high population density it's a way to ensure that not every single person can own a car.
    It's not at all necessary, we never owned a car when we lived there and never missed having one. Purely a luxury given the great public transportation system.
    But boy do they love to flaunt them, I remember when we first moved there I saw 21 Lambos parked outside of a hotel. Some sort of owners club or something.
     

  8. Once they arrive he’ll provide measurements and shrink information so you’re all set. I’ve always worn 36 in FW jeans, they end up a little big in the waist but I prefer it these days. The cut is a blend of the 37 and 44-45 jeans. Little larger waist / seat with a mild taper. Go with Seiichiro’s suggestion, he won’t lead you astray. ;)
