  1. Could anyone with decent amount of washes/dry cycles on an 800 in size 31 or 32, post some measurements? Looking to these as my next pair, but want to see where things fall after awhile, rather than just going off one-wash measurements. 

  2.  

    Anyone have any info on this BRxWG ww2 Jean? What would be the difference from the mainline BR ww2 other than MiUSA? Just bought a pair on the bay for a decent price.

    Unfortunately/fortunately IG is my favorite medium for my other interests, but honestly I've had to unfollow a few denim type accounts the past few days. You'd think after all these years the "lifestyle" types (not sure what else to call them) would burn themselves out, or at least want to try something new, but I guess all of the likes truly become an addiction and keeps fueling them on. That said, all the Japanese dudes are still keeping it real which I can appreciate. Just frustrating to think that in a way we built this monster (workwear fashunz aka city lumberjack?), or it at least came out of all we hold true and dear (denim, vintage, quality products made ethically with soul to obsessive lengths) to the point that it's become a factory molded disingenuous trend ripe with product placement and sponsors. Workwear is truly dead! But maybe it's up to us to revive it?

    I've been burnt out on workwear in general for a while now. I'm ready for some fresh inspo too, Aho. I wish our favorite Japanese brands would branch out to some stuff beyond flannels with so-called "insane weaves" etc. I feel like warehouse kinda branches out into a more ivy aesthetic while still going deep into the workwear archives. Fullcount seems to be experimenting more lately too. 

    On another slightly related note, I've recently bought some of the sugar cane 470 black jeans, and not only do I really love the cut, denim and details, I think that sugar cane's price point has ruined me. I increasingly can't see spending more than $200 for jeans again, when they can knock shit out of the park for ~$125. Like I mentioned above though, I just wish they branched out of the repro workwear box more, like they did with the 2014/470. Authentic repro details, modern cut etc. 

  4. Looks great foxy. My biggest gripe about repro styled shirts is how high up the gusset is on the sides. Anyone know the point of that? 

    I have a pretty tall torso and that part always comes untucked or exposes my sides. 

  5. I'd say the bulk of it would be out but you might have some residual shrinkage if you inevitably machine wash. In my experience aggressive hand washing still isn't as effective as machine washing and the pioneer denim takes a whole lot to finally settle. 

  6. I've been struggling with this as well. I recently picked up the 3sixteen chinos from someone on grailed for a substantial discount. The fabric is really nice and hefty at 12oz left hand twill. The pocket bag material is the same sturdy twill found on their newer jeans. I really like the fit too. All that being said, I'm not sure they'd be "worth" the full msrp price, especially because it's something I'll rotate and thus wont get as much wear as a pair of denim. Still, they're much better construction and fabric wise than most of the chinos I've handled from the other similar American brands. 

  7. ^Some people seem to have gotten some additional shrinkage in length but I didn't.  Maybe a tiny bit but it was negligible. My washer is pretty aggressive too. I did however get a little bit of shrink in the thighs, knees etc. Again, pretty minimal though.
