@elmcitizen I didn’t really see a good description of the fit other than “slim”. I’m assuming it’s similar to the 2009 or 2014.

Thanks Lance, I wish they were mine! Took these photos from the Junky blog. Maybe I'll grab a pair.

That was kind of my rationale as well, I think the 1943s are available year round.

Not going to lie, I kind of like the crazy Hawaii/Okinawa jeans.

Well I guess Maynard is right, so which one first?

Kind of a weird one, as these two jeans are nothing alike. Wanting to pick up a new pair and trying to decide between the Denime 30th XX’s or Freewheelers 601xx 1943. Kind of want to just get both but that wouldn’t be very responsible.

I think it’d look great worn open over a white tee. Can’t go wrong.

Looks great with the SC Wrangler repros, hope I can pull the jacket off once S&S get more (if that’s the plan).

Let’s see some more photos of that OA jacket! I really want one.

I had a feeling I might’ve been wrong, I couldn’t recall who actually made the jeans. Thank you!

Shingo-san’s work is top notch, need a pair of his jeans in the future.

They fit you well, enjoy!

Some photos of my Memorial Jeans after another wash. About 6 months of wear, 3~4 washes so far. Can't remember.

Did you buy through S&S? I’m kinda thinking about one if they’re available. Also @scooby are those the John Lofgren combat boots?

You're not wrong...I'm just trying not to get too greedy! I might change my mind by tonight though.

Thanks for the measurements, going to wait to see how my first order goes before grabbing this. I think the large might work, but now I'm considering the crazy mismatched colorway.

I prefer buttons, just a form of habit at this point really. Feels weird wearing a zipper and I don't like the way zippers bunch up sometimes.

In that case if you could provide some measurements that’d be awesome, the all black one is calling my name.

Unfortunately they were all out of my size in almost every color.

Well I've now got a Bronson tee and henley as well as two Bii & Free flannels on the way, you're an enabler.

Thanks kindly for the writeup Volvo, I've seen a lot of pretty good looking Taobao stuff for quite cheap so I figured I would try it out. Now just trying to figure out where to start with what to buy...

Anyone have a rundown of the best way to browse/buy from Taobao? I like those faux Patagonia fleece jackets Volvo has been posting lately but I’ve never bought anything from Taobao before. Thanks!

Right? Like vacationing is more important.

I remember seeing your pair as well, would love to see some photos of you’ve still got the jeans.
