Super nice guy, my Instagram interactions with him were great. If you ever do make it to his shop to collect a pair try to snap some pics. P.S. Hope you’re well!

Just dropped BEARS a line, will let you know once I hear back.

I think the usual suspects will be stocking heavily, but I admittedly don't have as many SC connections as some other brands. I might try to buy from PSA or Hinoya, or whoever offers the raw versions. Not sure if they do any modifications to the documents or not.

I think it's a limited production run but there should be healthy stock available. But I might be wrong!

Mainline SC stuff is so reasonably priced, I'm taking a hard look at the type III as well. I really, really don't need more denim jackets.

Welcome to fall in Texas, where you need a sweat and jacket in the morning and a t-shirt and shorts by noon. Freewheelers Yellowstone. Freewheelers hoodie. Freewheelers 601XX-C. Birks. Disapproving pup who just wants to go outside.

Part of me does miss the old emojis as well!

I'm very tempted by both the 43 and 46 jeans, wish they had tabs but seems those are long gone when it comes to SC. Based on the fit descriptions seems like the 46 will be quite close to the 47, which I do not own. And the 43 will be a bit wider which is nice. Guess we'll see what happens once they're available! Do I need them? Absolutely not, but do I want them? That's an entirely different question. Personally have very little interest in the jackets, I have my FW S506XX and that scratches the itch for me.

Done, let's give this a shot. Let me know what y'all think!

I think that's a fair point, anyone else on board? Perhaps we just leave small questions, blunders, and the current year waywt threads pinned?

@MJF9 I believe superfuture pinned those threads universally for all users, you can see the little pin icon between the star and thread title.

Speak of the devil, full catalog and details just posted: https://bookshelf.wisebook4.jp/html/toyoenterprise/51863/

I actually can't comment much on the '47, despite having a bunch of FW I still have yet to wear the '47 or '51... My understanding is that they are still produced somewhat regularly (at least annually) and are offered o/w and raw with raw generally being less readily available since most of the JP market prefer o/w. It's easy to forget the classics when they're always pushing new stuff, I plan to try the '47 once I get through a couple other pairs in the queue. No idea when that might be!

Honestly I'm just trying to figure out how much they're going to be. 😂 In the recent Sugar Cane Instagram post you can zoom in and almost make out the price, but not quite.

Much appreciated!

Did anyone happen to pick up the latest edition of Lightning (vol. 355)? There are a couple of pages in it that outline the details on the upcoming 43 and 46 tuxes, if anyone has them I'd love to see the details! Tried browsing the web for a scan but didn't come up with anything, and the last time I went to our local Japanese bookstore they had gotten rid of most of their Lightning stuff.

That Cossack jacket is great, I'd love to see some fit pics if you get the chance. What's the list price if you don't mind me asking? I've also inquired about the U-Tip shoes in brown in the past with no luck, might try again soon.

Cool enough to wear a denim jacket this morning so I'm happy. Big lizard has made a home in one of our trees in the backyard, gave me a startle this morning. Need to name him as we see him running around regularly. He blends in well!

I was thinking the same thing about the PIZZA tab, will keep y'all posted if I end up ordering. Now someone please buy one of my pairs of At Last jeans I'm trying to sell. 😂

You're a much more active and committed man than I 00. 😂 Although it does sound like you could use a chiropractor. Let's see the Devis!

He shared a size chart with me on IG, not sure if I can share that or not but I'm sure he'd provide it to you via DM as well.

Recently discovered Word of Mouth Jeans, a one-man-band made one by one in Italy by the very friendly and knowledgeable Simone. While I haven't ordered a pair yet I'm on the verge, just need to sell a pair or two so I can justify it. He currently offers two cuts, a pair of 50's and 60's inspired jeans. He is also working on a late 40's pair and some other stuff. You can contact him via Instagram DM for more info. Maybe our friend @volvo240thebest can get a pair! https://www.instagram.com/wordofmouthjeans/

Gotta agree with your take on this one, I've never been able to get with Lee / Wrangler repros. I associate Wrangler with frat bros from the university here. 🫠

At least for my climate, summer is the worst time of year for me to contribute regularly. It's blazing hot, all I wear is tees and rotate through a few broken in pairs or shorts on the weekend so not much to post from a waywt perspective. Hell, I don't even go outside on some days if I didn't have to, we had a stretch of 45 days in a row over 100 degrees... It's definitely been quiet, I think the more active people post on the social media platforms (reddit, IG, etc.) which I think are inferior mediums for meaningful discourse. And honestly a lot of stuff that seems to be popular elsewhere just isn't here which is going to lead to it being a little more quiet. I'll do my best to be more active now that it's a comfortable temperature to do things outside. Got a couple of trips planned (heading to Denver next weekend) so that should be fun. I'll try and swing by the new BiG location and post some photos.

Venturing back to my Russell musings, seems that they have two Fishing Oxford makeups pre-orders running through Stitchdown. Not generally a fan of the publication, but the tan Laramie suede version is calling my name. Still not sure why these are $650, but easier to validate mentally when broken down in 2 50% payments I guess. Debating between 11.5E and 12D currently.
