Kiwami in Japanese means ultimate / extreme, so I could see other brands using it in their marketing efforts. I'm only familiar with the meaning of the word from a series of video games.

There's a very small IG account for Muramasa, no new posts in over a year. Nothing to be found about Kiwami, other than an account created last week with one post and no followers. This one seems super fishy to me. Also, the w37 notation might be a translation thing. I've noticed this before, but when searching Yahoo for jeans for jeans by size categories on Buyee will go from w36 to w37. But when you look at the actual search results in the w37 category there's a bunch of w38, w40, w42, etc., so perhaps it just is meant to house anything larger than w36? Just guessing here, I know zero Japanese.

Yup that's a possibility, Taobao seeping into Yahoo.

I've seen both of these flooding Yahoo for the last week or so, something seems a little off to me.

Looks great! 👏

@AlientoyWorkmachine totally agree as I'm in the same spot, which OAs are you wearing again? I've been focusing on my WWII pair and they're finally starting to fade a bit, should look good by the time this contest starts.

The linesheets are available on their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cushman_official/

Interested in those leather sneakers whenever they're released. Ever since Instagram changed the way you can sort hashtags it's been a bit more difficult for me to keep track of their releases.

I feel like I've always had this issue, usually solved by shift + return. It's kind of muscle memory for me by this point. @malik the LB Jeans that b_F recommended are a good option, however I don't think he's accepting new orders at the moment. The waist might end up being a little large, but most of the Freewheelers 601xx variants should work for you as well, they're pretty generous in the thighs / top block.

Agreed, go with the ‘22s.

I'd say both, but keep in mind "trim" when speaking about the 601xx isn't really that trim in the grand scheme of things compared to other brands.

Let me know if you do end up trying them out. Autry is a bit too much for me, I've seen a few people out and about wearing them but not many.

Nah, we're not in the business of deleting posts.

Anyone here have ever tried Valsport sneakers from Italy? If so curious if you have any sizing recommendations, really like this colorway and would go nicely with the Italian made WoM jeans.

The S601xx is definitely a bit more trim in the top block compared to other FW models.

Curious to see if anyone here has experience with the Mars black denim? Haven't been able to find much information online, maybe William could chime in if he has any details about the dye.

I don't own the '47s so can't compare directly, but they are a tad higher than the S601xx WWII.

Think I'm actually going to take a whopping 2 to 3 inches off, they've been washed twice but they're still measuring 33 in. on the inseam. I've been enjoying my OAs which were hemmed to 31, but the rise on the '42s is much higher so I think going a little shorter on the inseam length might make more sense. I always have a hard time figuring out my inseam length even after all these years.

Maybe y'all are right and I'll chop them off another inch or so. My OAs are hemmed about an inch shorter and I like wearing them at that length a lot more.

It's been way too freaking hot here too, high today is 98 f / 36 c. In hindsight I think I should've waited a bit to wash these, but that happened before the WoM contest took off at warp speed.

I think part of it is the lighting / shadows, I'll try to take some better photos soon. And yes they are double cuffed. The rise is so massive that I have to hike them up pretty high to get a little break above my shoes.

Trying to decide if I should hem my ‘42s a little shorter or not.

No not yet. I'm trying to hold out!
