Broark

@beautiful_FrEaK got it, wasn't sure if you had pulled any loose original stitching through the back of the jeans or not. Looks good!

@beautiful_FrEaK I just noticed the stitching on my pair starting to loosen up in the same spot, how did you go about doing that repair?
Just gave my pair another wash, will report back in a couple of days.

@beautiful_FrEaK That new denim looks great, I don't think he's used it for any releases yet.
He recently posted about a new line, calling the two models XX grade. Might have to see if I can get a pair whenever they are released.

How is the sizing compared to maybe a converse or any other sneaker?

I'd say about the same as Converse, maybe half a size smaller.
I haven't worn any 70s in a few years, but the last pair I had were 11.5 and the TWC sneakers are size 12.
For what it's worth I prefer the fit and feel of the TW sneakers.

I have a difficult time wearing black jeans for whatever reason, I'm sure it's just mental but I can't seem to get past it.
I did stop into SE yesterday and I saw the black Boncoura painters pants and the five pocket jeans, those both have a really interesting color / hue to them.
If the painters pants didn't have a zipper fly I'd probably give them a shot.

I saw you got them 2 years ago how did they last?

Yes the two pairs of high tops that I have are holding up very well.
I haven't been wearing them too much lately since it's getting warmer here and I prefer low tops in the summer.
The leather pieces along the back and eyelets is one of my favorite features.
I'm always keeping an eye out for any new colors that they release.

I'm not Julian but I'm pretty familiar with crawfish / seafood boils, essentially everything gets thrown into a big pot (usually outdoors) and boiled for a few hours.
When everything is done they'll pour it out on a table covered in butcher paper (or news paper) and you can just come by and fill up a plate.
It's definitely a southern thing (to my knowledge) and usually used as a good excuse to stand around and drink for a few hours while you hang out.

More of an interest check as I'm a bit too tired to do a full sales post, I need to move some pairs and these are the ones on the initial chopping block.
Top row, left to right: Boncoura XX size 36, Warehouse lot 1202 USN trousers size 36.
Bottom row, left to right: Warehouse Lot 1001xx size 36 (old stock before they added the tab back), Warehouse x Hinoya Lot 1001xx size 36, WH Lot 1001xx 25th anniversary size 36.
The Lot 1202 and 25th anniversary jeans are essentially brand new, the other three will be available for a lower price since they've been worn a bit.
I can provide measurements, additional photos and pricing if interested, just reach out to me via DM.

00 I think some of the pointy-ness can be attributed to the rubber apron running up quite high along the toe box.
Just gave them a spin today when going to the barber and they're very comfy. Whoever they're using to produce these in Japan make very nice rubber soles / insoles.
I'll give some different lace layouts a try!

Good to get some feedback from our resident Denime expert, I've always thought this would be the case based on the product / fade photos.
I still find it strange that WH purchased Denime in the first place, almost like they only wanted to use it as a new sub-line.

@julian-wolf I had no idea you were on What, I was super active on Waffles (and was a mod at one point) and tried being more active on What before the end.
Had a very similar experience as yours on Waffles, met a lot of cool people that I still keep in touch with to this day.
Formative years online!

That nylon type I is from the Levis x Porter collab they did a few years ago. https://hypebeast.com/2020/10/levis-porter-type-ii-jacket-collaboration-release-information

Oh god, those are an abomination. Much worse than the Joafers.

Just now, ATWM said:

^ This is just an opinion, but those are very bad.  

Absolutely awful.

Honey, is everything okay? You've barely touched your joafers.

@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¥.

The "S" would indicate a 1945 version. But the stitching on the back of the fly is quite neat, perhaps 1946?
Is the denim more dark or more blueish?

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.

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.

Have you got new boots that you need this teacore belt to match? 😉 (👈 see, I’m catching on)

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