Broark

@indigoeagle correct, ~32 in. raw. I'll probably go for a pretty gentle initial wash to avoid too much inseam shrinkage.

Possibly, the shop that I purchased from is one of the larger ones that we regularly see on Yahoo. I recently saw a decently priced jacket in size 46, sadly the measurements were a bit small. I'd probably need to go up to 48. There's another jacket up right now in size 46, but it's listed for 100k¥.

Thanks! I believe all of his models are listed as "S01XX", so I don't think it really is a tell either way. The denim is pretty dark, here's another photo on a different, lighter background.

I mentioned recently that I had found a pair of jeans unexpectedly on Yahoo, they arrived last week: Slash Overalls S01XX. I've been a big fan of his work since I've been following him online for a few years, even bothering him via DM and email asking if he'd accept an international order. He's not set up to accommodate international orders yet, but maybe he'll be able to someday. Going through a normal proxy isn't viable since his jeans and jackets seem to sell out very quickly. So I was surprised to see these in BNWT state (you can see some residual chalk markings from where he was putting them together), unwashed and in my size for under retail! Honestly I debated posting photos of these, he's very opposed to resellers (there's a post on his blog about it), even banning anyone from purchasing again if he tracks down the serial number and ties it back to the original order. So hopefully I'm not shaking the hornets nets. It's hard to figure out what exactly these are (since he doesn't disclose the serial numbers), but I'm guessing they're a late 40s inspired pair. They even have a similar wonky stitch across the coin pocket similar to the recent SC45s. The denim is nice and hearty, and the stitching is pretty interesting. I'll need to get a better photo of the crotch construction, it's pretty interesting. The enamel coating on the buttons is pretty intense, even compared to FW. The backs of the buttons are also slightly indented along the top and bottom, hard to photograph but just an interesting observation. I'll probably keep these raw for awhile since I'm focusing on wearing other pairs pretty consistently right now, but it's nice to find something that I thought was unobtainable.

Nice find @Lorcan! You've got good taste.

Nice looking jacket @irual, the cut suits you well.

@Lorcan those look incredible! Inspiration for me to break mine out more often.

@Le Clown Bleu yes I believe they're only available o/w right now.

@Le Clown Bleu I think the inseam measures around 32.5 in., might get an inch or so taken off though. Also of note I did size up to 40 on these (I usually wear 38 in OA), the waist measured a bit smaller on the size charts provided.

I'll have the boots shortly after I have the matching leather jacket.

Now now, you can't quit just yet. I still haven't gotten my teacore belt made by you yet!

Shout out to @okimoto for proxying a pair of these for me! The denim is really nice, I hope they use it for another future release. There's some pretty interesting stitching details throughout. The singular back pocket will take some getting used to, but I can see myself wearing these a lot in the summer.

Picked up a pair of 992s, seems like New Balance is going heavier on this model this year. Quite comfy, might get the core grey model eventually as well.

I follow a guy from JP that's been wearing these (can't think of his username right now), they look good with some wear. The only thing I personally don't much care for is the arc shape, but once the paint starts to wear off they wouldn't be as noticeable.

I think so, but honestly who knows if it will be by the time they ship to me at this rate.

Yesterday I unexpectedly came across a pair of jeans that I’d had my eye out for years on Yahoo, ended up winning the auction so we’ll see if there are any tariff impacts.

Really tempting, trying to decide if I really need anything though. Looks like we've got 3 vests, a pair of 01s in the dull XX-4 fabric, two shades of duck 1890s trousers and a pair in denim as well. I still have a raw pair of 01s from last year's Inspiration and while I like the design of the 1890s trousers they might be difficult for me to adjust to being left handed.

I was trying to hold out until the three month mark for a wash, but we went to a ren fest yesterday and got rained on. So the jeans were just too grungy. Jeans are out drying in the sun now, I'll get some post wash pictures this weekend.

Thanks @aho, those measurements look a bit more comfortable to me!

Can't say I've ever put that much thought into it. If I want to wear a hat and glasses I just do it! Sunglasses are a prerequisite here, I don't leave the house without a pair.

^ I don't think I've ever heard of this to be considered a fashion faux pas? It's often quite sunny here (regardless of the time of year) so I almost always need sunglasses, or is this only for normal glasses?

Damn I didn’t realize you also had a pair @aho! Did you get the HBT version of the newer S0001xx with the 2x1 denim pocket bags?

@yung_flynn thanks for starting the thread and gathering all these details! I’ve got a pair of the HBT pocket bag 0001xx’s, but I’m curious: how has your pair been stretching? Lately I’ve been thinking about selling my w36 pair and sizing up to a w38.

I met Brandon years ago, nice guy. A lot of their stuff is more of a gimmick than anything, he's just seeing how far he can push boundaries. Years ago I worked at a shop that sold them and I can't tell you how many pairs we received with buttons / rivets falling off, weird pattern issues, one pair even had the front pockets sewn shut.

Good eye, that’s the one! Love them and happy they’re doing well.
