I have a pair of 132d size 2 and had to dart the waist to get them to fit me without a belt… the waist was at least 31” before taking it in. I’d expect the same model in size 4 to be far too large to wear, especially if you normally take a size 1. For reference, i am a 29-30 in all other brands.

Yeah try the tender cuff method! One big cuff, then fold the lower half of the cuff up to meet the original hem line. Idk if that makes sense, there are photos somewhere in the tender thread.

Can anyone with Moto shoes speak to how you determined sizing? I am looking secondhand as their website is always sold out, but finding sizes are all over the place, where a “0” is sometimes listed as 23.5cm and sometimes 25cm, a “2” is sometimes 25cm and sometimes 27cm … not to mention a handful of reviews which say they can run a size large… I am looking at a pair of moc toe low top shoes… are those considered oxfords? don’t really know lol. anyway, grateful for any help!

@Graytrain you are on your way to becoming a legendary collector of early Japanese repro denim! i really admire your taste and persistence in acquiring such rare & old pieces.

I like the painters, that back pocket shape is really nice and i feel the other details suit your overall style better than the military trousers.

that's a great fit imo!

as someone who's always had a hard time sewing in a straight line, i am feeling really validated by these

@scooby damn that is impressive, truly one of the best jackets I’ve ever seen!! and the stain is nice, artistic even, lol

@scooby oil?? i've gotten engine oil-soaked jeans clean with a couple of overnight soaks in a hot tub with oxygen bleach. that jacket looks amazing, rly looking forward to seeing after wash!

Encinitas after wash. Really nice subtle texture to this fabric, and the green caste is a nice change from the purple & red hues we see more often.

those look really great!!

Anyone know of any good hbt work pants? Really after these vintage sweet-orrs on eBay but they’re size 32

My partner’s brother lived in Japan (mainly in Hokkaido) for almost a decade. When his siblings and mom came to visit him a few years back, I want to say they went in July-August time, and said it was brutally hot, even in that northern climate. My partner’s mom is older and doesn’t do great in hot weather, so take that with a bit of salt as it was mostly her remembering the weather. But I don’t doubt it will be extremely hot most of the time, especially for those of us coming from climates like the uk and pacific northwest. If you’re all up for it, though, I’m sure it would be an amazing trip!!
