Looks like the Delraisers lit up and I grabbed one.  You weren't kidding with a small batch.  Hopefully the sizes were consistent and accurate on the site.

Yes, they're actually doing a small run of Shinki horsehide Delraiser jackets which release March 22nd.  
No plans to carry expand our leather jacket lines as we already carry almost 20 different leather jackets, which is quite a large selection for a retail store.

Nice to hear the Delraiser is coming back.  Are they keeping the same dimensions or did they update them?  The 40 fits me near perfect in their older models and I may pull the trigger this go around.

Hey @kiya any idea if TFH will be releasing leather jackets you guys will stock?  Or any plans to expand brands of leather jackets you guys stock?

Hey all.  Here are my SExSG24.  Probably 18 or so months of office wear.  Maybe a half dozen washes.

Anyone else not liking the big-biceps look? IMO repro usually includes an unfortunately regressive masculine caricature (miner, farmer, engineer, biker, lumberjack, etc..)..but i'm not liking SE's "modern" or "next level" take...

I'm late here but how is being muscular regressive?

Aren't 510X RHT where 310X would be LHT?  Seems pretty easy to be 100% sure.  Plus 310X as a denim itself has very little slub or character compared to 510X.

Have you washed the sweat yet?  Size small TSG sweats are absolutely tiny and you don't look like that small of a guy.

Since I moved to Southern California and need to buy a house I'm too poor to be as addicted as I previously was to the Japanese repro scene.  Since I've moved here ~8 months ago the only thing I've bought are the SG x SE collab jeans mainly because I bike to work and my TFH's thighs were about ready to rip at the seam when I was riding.  Not to mention heavy loopwheeled T's, thick flannel and head to toe denim no longer really suits the climate.

Does anyone actually wear shit kicker boots?  Most boots I see everyone wearing around here I'd classify as semi-dress at least.

I didn't notice it was raining/sleeting in the one picture and thought TFH released a super neppy version of their winter flannel.  I'm somewhat disappointed now

Any info on this new denim released by Strike Gold?  It looks very, very similar to the SEXSG fabric.

Anyone here 5'8 and shorter? Why is it so hard to find a shirt that fits both in shoulder and length?  Seems like shirts both USA and Japan made fit great in the shoulders but are too long in length. We're all not 6 foot and taller!

I don't know what you're looking for in regards to shoulder/chest mesaurement but I'm ~5'9-5'10" and Strike Gold's size Large fits me like a glove.

My wabash hasn't stretched for shit.  Its a size 38 (same as I wear in TFH's western winter flannels) and realistically it needs to be at least a 40 and more probably 42.  While I can button it up its way too tight when I do it so 99% of the time I just wear it open -- which I think looks better w/ denim pants anyways.  If you think you're between sizes I'd recommend going up but thats just me.

I have a length modified Iron Heart Type 3 from SE and I love it.  The added length (plus blanket lining) makes the jacket actually useful in colder weather.

Does strike gold have a wabash pants?

In wide leg ?

Not TSG proper but it looks like Tenryo does

As far as other FH item durability is concerned, I'd like to point out that I've had a green flannel shirt from Flat Head since December 2011, worn at least once a week in cool months ever since, and zero signs of damage or wear anywhere on the shirt.

Some of the stitching on my fire engine TFH winter flannel is actually getting undone.  It isn't a huge problem at the moment but I'm nervous it'll get worse.  Any idea of any place that would do repairs on it if necessary?  I don't know if Self Edge does shirts or just bottoms.

I like athletic material underwear too much to buy many of these brands.  Which is a shame because my underwear is basically the last bastion of my "made in god knows what conditions" collection.

I've never actually gone to a self edge but I live near one now.  If I show up can I get my jeans hemmed there and take them home?

Yea you can get a lot cheaper using those flat rate envelopes; I believe I shipped a shirt to the UK a couple of years back for something like $7.

Those work for international delivery?  I had to ship something to Canada and I don't think I was allowed to use flat rate.

Hey Kiya are the new Strike Gold collabs a limited one-time run thing or are they going to be a staple carry for you guys?  My Flat Heads still have some life left in them but I'm wondering if I should buy the Strike Golds and just stash them away or if they'll be available in like 6 months.

Not sure what you expect on a denim forum when a new denim brand launches

I actually highly respect Kiya for his no-nonsense no-filter approach to forums.  That doesn't mean I necessarily agree with everything he says but I give him props for having an opinion and sticking with it.  Too many owners would be too shit scared of driving away business because of an abrasive online persona.

I think Kiya may be saying he would pass on the brand

I think you misunderstood I like the linked jacket specifically because it doesn't give off a biker vibe

That is somewhat implied when the denim is only made three days prior to a thunderstorm in the spring between the temperatures of 60 degrees and 67 degrees.
