All sounds good to me, I'll drop y'all a DM soon once I decide on the sizing. Definitely will be the 411S model for me, looking forward to it. Also interested to see what the patch will look like!
-
To be fair I was kind of voluntold to be a mod there with zero inside info as to what was actually happening.
-
Starting to develop some decent contrast on the WWII jeans. Pictured here with a belt made by our very own Sir Duke.
-
I guess that's what Ono-san has been up to for the last few months.
-
Hell, I'd been considering buying the vest and I'm not a vest guy...so if I can try the denim out via another medium I will.
-
This is the makeup I’m going with.
-
Seconding Julian, FW sweats are my favorite in both the heavy weight and medium weight weaves.
-
Congrats @beautiful_FrEaK!
-
Appreciate you doing that @nopal!
-
b_F are there any better quality images of the size charts available? I can kind of make out the numbers, but they look pretty blurry specifically the 611 chart (even when opening the image in a new tab). And doc I've got plenty of cinch back jeans so I think a cinchless '42 is a nice change of pace even if it might be somewhat sacrilegious.
-
Deposit has been sent! Think I'll be going with the cinchless '42s.
-
Same as @Jared_Lee, I generally prefer what Shinya weaves. Handled a lot of nice denim from them over the years. b_F since you have a pair using the RS1950-ROW denim, any early days comparisons to other denims you've handled? Assuming it is fairly breathable as well.

His most recent post on IG has a few photos of these details: https://www.instagram.com/p/C-UuiGaoPre/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Sounds good, I think I'm in for a '42ish model. Looking forward to info on the denim. Some lightweight denim pocket bags would be cool too.
-
Might be interested depending on the details, measurements and timing. I think a '42 with crotch rivet, no cinch and denim pocket bags would be kinda cool.
-
A bit late here, I haven't worn these in quite some time (which is evident from the fold creases). Not sure why I stopped wearing them honestly.
-
I have a pair of Rockets, they're nice but I haven't worn them much yet as I've been focusing on other pairs. The rise is a little lower than I'd prefer. I'd be interested in Slash, Rebuilt and WoM.
-
+1 to what @aho said, I feel like the old school sufu style contests are sadly dead and gone. I'd love one last hurrah from some smaller brand (or FW ) to partner with a contest but I just don't think there's much benefit to them unfortunately. I'd kill for another OA contest!
-
@indigoeagle you bring up a good point, this is how FW references the 42s. I just typically associate war models with jeans made featuring the material restrictions, and the 42s feature a lot of materials that were subsequently cut out.
-
Like Julian I wouldn't put the '42s in the WWII category, to my knowledge there have been 3 war era models. 1822017: WWII 1943, released in 2018. Made using a denim closely resembling the '47 - '51 601xx. 2122041: WWII 1944, olive HBT pocket bags, first appearance of the updated grainy war era denim. 2132001: WWII 1945, flannel pocket bags, nearly identical details to the 2122041 besides the pocket bags.
-
@tooth The denim used on the OA WWII pair is great for the summer, very breathable and I like the wider leg opening. I just hate trying to get anything in or out of the front pockets, compared to the 601xx models the front pocket openings are so tiny! I've been wearing my SC 43s a bit as well, but I've been trying to stay committed to the OAs. However that might change now with the '42s.
-
Thanks Doc, my wife says they all look identical (and I quote "why do you have so many of the same things?!") so I'm glad someone can appreciate the small nuances.
-
Thanks! And it's a bit hard to say honestly, the last few months I've been wearing my WWII OAs, but I do miss how loose the 601's are in the top block by comparison. I think my favorite fabric is the WWII denim. But I felt like I washed my S601xx's a bit too frequently / early. So with the '42s I plan on trying to go for a little more contrast and see how the fabric reacts to that.
-
Just some quick comparison photos. S601xx, S506xx, 601xx-C, 506xx '33, 601xx '42 and 506xx '42. The WWII tux and 1942 tux are made from the same denim.
-
Definitely not going to take credit here, Hoosier handles the calculations for me. The jeans were about 35.5 in. unwashed before the hem, so he took about an inch to an inch and a half off. And correct, this is the same denim as the S601xx / S506xx from a few years back.
