Broark

I went TTS and they are pretty damn slim.

The taper is a pretty aggressive one, and if I get a little stretch they will fit quite nicely.

Anyone get the EG's yet?  

Wondering if they sold out already or not, going to send Nepenthes an email tomorrow and hope they still have some left.

I'm really interested in the RMC winter combat jacket.

Anyone here own one? How is the fit and weight of the jacket?

If it is very heavy I probably can't really consider it since it never gets that cold here.

Mine should be here tomorrow!

You're definitely right! And comparing some Rakuten measurements to the BiG measurements of the 991 shows that they're slimmer. I always second guess some of the Rakuten measurements since quite a few of them are one wash, but I found some unwashed measurements as well.

So which would be the slimmer pair, the 991 or the 904S?

Well shoot, I just told myself I wasn't going to buy another pair of jeans either.

Looks like that might possibly change.

I'm tempted by the 991, but I can't really find much information on the 904S.

Anyone?  

Also I think the only difference in the 991 and 991XH is the weight of the denim, 13.75 vs 14.75 but I could be wrong.

XH for extra heavy?

Honestly I think they're my favorite tees that I own. From fit to details to color they're great all around. I'm just trying to figure out which colors to get next.

You won't be disappointed with the Tezo tees, I'll be really interested to see how the gradation dye turns out.

Ordered a pair of the BOM006's today in the tapered variety, been waiting for them for quite some time now.

I wish the FH tees in 46 were more readily available in lots of colors and whatnot. The Tezomeya look pretty sweet. Where did you pick them up?

I have the black and grey FH in size 46, you can possibly find them on Rakuten. I got the black one from 2nd and the grey from SE.

Tezomeya I ordered through Jon (Bandana Almanac) who handles their international orders. You can find his email on his blog. It takes about a month for them to get to you since it's a small operation and the dying takes awhile. Really worth the wait in my opinion, I'm already trying to figure out which ones I should get next!

Been wearing my 2111s a bit more lately and they're already showing some signs of fading around the back pockets and where I keep my zippo. It's just too hot here in Texas to wear 'em everyday. I really do love the fit.

Broark, so with your beautiful girthiness, what size do you wear in TFH shirts? I tried a 44 once, and it felt like a straight jacket!

The biggest Tezomeya look good though. And their colors are awesome; subtle, with nothing forced.

And in my opinion, the mystery of loopwheel is what makes it such a fun topic to discuss.

I have two FH in a size 46 (fits like a 44). They're definitely not super tight, but overall I like the fit a lot. The fabric is quite heavy so I don't wear them too much in the summer here in Texas.

I have the Tezomeya tees in the biggest size and I like the way they fit even more. They're a bit lighter and breathe better. Need to place an order on some more of those soon, as they take a little while to make.

Yup, 85. Think I'm going to go with the tan color way. Seems like my bud is open to picking them up for me. Think there will be a lot of buzz around them or no?

Just hoping they still have my size come Thursday I guess. Not getting my hopes up really unless someone in NY can get 'em for me!

Edit: Now that I think of it my buddy might be able to pick them up for me. Let's see what he says.

Looks like Vans x Engineered Garments is coming out on Tuesday.

Just need to decide which ones to pick up, thinking either the black or creme slipons. Although the reverse sateen olive ones look nice too.

Aside from irregularities in the weave of the fabric and some really close examination it is kind of difficult to identify. Don't really see what's so funny.

I agree with you on the definitive guide aspect, but I think it's pretty difficult considering there isn't a very easy way to identify them.

S-town: I've had good luck with Flat Head THC series and Tezomeya.

I've had my eye on some Barnes and Filmelange shirts but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I'm 6'3", 215.

I'm not sure if the loopwheel machines produce nicer or more durable fabric, but from my experience they produce a more irregular and more interesting looking and feeling fabric.  My Tezomeya shirts have little slubs and irregularities all over them and I think it makes them a little unique.

I dunno if it's pretentious bullshit but some people just find the construction of fabrics interesting. Especially when it comes to the loopwheel machine, considering how old they are and how they produce really interesting and unique fabric. You could possibly say the same thing about old selvedge looms if you look at it the way you're suggesting, just because we're discussing construction doesn't mean it's pretentious. Just my two cents.

I ended up getting the Joe McCoy navy pocket tee made from sea island cotton and it is quite nice. Really love the color. Only real complaint is the length of the body, it's a little on the short side since I have a long torso.

Not much of a vest guy but I love the lining on that one.

Good stuff.

It's the ST cut, our slim tapered fit. Release date should be somewhere late Sept/early October. If you subscribe to our newsletter we'll be sure to send an email out when it's available!

Awesome, just subscribed.

I look forward to trying these out hopefully!
