That's a shame Doc, next time!

Just booked a trip to London around Christmas / New Years, will be spending a few days there and in Paris, maybe Bruges or another place that's easily accessible by rail.
Let me know if anyone wants to grab a pint or if you have any suggestions for a third spot to visit.

I think it might end up being my most worn jacket this year, very versatile!

@MJF9 It's fairly soft already, seems that it's been through a wash but it definitely still has some rigidity (you can still see fold creases from shipping).
I think once the fabric relaxes a bit it'll feel less billowy.

Some fit pics of the Yellowstone and Urbanite.


From the side photo you can tell that the Yellowstone is pretty big in the body, that photo was taken with it unbuttoned.

The body length on the Urbanite is pretty short, had to tuck my tee in.

some dude in the SC thread became quite angry and said that they should only be worn for work purposes..

If I recall correctly that guy was mad about a lot of things, soap being one of them!

@rockon99 I don't think we have a dedicated overalls thread, usually they're just posted in the brand specific thread.
Good opportunity to start one, let's see 'em!

How heavy or warm is the Urbanite?

I'd say warmer than a denim jacket but not as warm as an M-65. I'd put it in the medium weight range.
It doesn't really have any insulation, but the fabric is supposedly pretty water and wind resistant.

The vest versions (aka sleeveless coats, funny name) are nice, I'm just not a vest guy myself.
Also that small pocket (that looks like a pen pocket) is meant to hold a duck call, you know I'll get lots of use out of it for all that hunting that I do. 😅
The other small pocket below that is actually pretty good for holding an AirPod case.

@MJF9 I'll work on some fit pics, I've been slacking on those lately.
I'm a big fan of it, little bits of selvedge everywhere. If you look at the full resolution photos you can see them along the placket, pocket flaps, etc.
It's an A-shaped jacket, so slimmer shoulders up top and plenty of room at the bottom. Also not super heavy, so should be nice for layering.

Yeah I'm definitely not holding out hope, but it would be nice.

I'm a little disappointed in the lack of tabs as well, I can understand no arcs but it seems like so many other brands are using tabs now.
Maybe they're pulling a fast one on us and the production run will have them. 🤞

I don't think we'll know much until the official specs are released in full.
I think they posted some more information in the latest edition of Lightning if anyone has picked that up.

Sorry this took me awhile to post (I still haven't figured out where the best place to take fit pics is in our new place).
Here's the Full Back white tee after a wash, really enjoying these and hope they release more varieties.

Looks like we lost some posts and the poster information to the left hand side is duplicated?

They're getting close to Yuketen pricing with some of their models (the other recent Clays were $635, and Yuketen's Blucher is ~$650).

Nope, pretty much every overseas retailer is charging crazy prices for FW.

I don't doubt that one bit, just having a hard time justifying the price when I already have a pretty full stable.
I've always wanted a pair, but the recent price hikes have been making me second guess the purchase.

There was one other shop carrying FW that went under, HwyBlues in New Orleans.
They had a small run of inventory but announced that they were closing down within the first year of opening or so.
No other ones that I know of outside of Brogue.

Thanks Julian, the pricing is certainly out of control ever since new ownership took over.
I'd love to get these but I don't think they're worth nearly $600 bucks. Not like I actually need more boots anyways!

What's the general consensus on Russell Moccasin sizing?
They just released a new Clays model that I'm interested in, even though I'm a little put off by the asking price.

@Broark Do you have the measurements of your WH 1082 W32? Is the fabric stretched a lot at the waist?

Sorry, these aren't mine. They are photos from the Warehouse used section: https://ware-house.jp/used/

Nice work 00, cozy looking backyard!
