Thanks @lance

It’s sort of look like a Type-1 design but the sleeve design looks so different. Am not sure if this is a 30s Lee-inspired jacket.

My TaoBao share: Denim Jacket from Labour Union. Have to say, they are very well made!

Can loading the jeans into the dryer afterwashing be a culprit of the leather shrinkage and stiffness?

Has anyone purchased one wash FC? I received a pair from Okayamadenim and the patch was shrivelled and looked tiny like it had been boiled. Nothing like some of the ones on well worn pairs in this thread. Is this normal for one wash as my last pair of one wash I sold on so can't compare but their patch was like the raw from memory.

That is a clear sign that it was soaked in hot (near boiling) water. I'd admit that I did the same mistake to my FC and boiled that leather to a crisp.

Has anyone got a hold of the new Lot 002 Leepros? Looks very interesting.

Which lot in Atlast&Co is sort of a repro of the Lee Rider 1946 Jeans? I'm looking for more 147-ish type denim with a more straighter cut but not as wide and without the cinch.

Their 1946 and 1947 repro jeans are spot on amazing! Just couldn't pull the trigger as I have 2-3 pairs of similar cuts from other brand.

Went with their Ghurka shorts and I'm impressed, such a conversation piece whenever I wear it out.

Lot147 Fit Photo. These are slowly going to the top of my denim rotation list. They are superbly made, and my infatuation over Lee inspired denim is growing slowly into an obsession. Anyone has more info if there are more Lee inspired lots that have a bootcut design?

Super Sick Saisen!

Thanks @Saisen !! Didn't realize there were so many cuts available when I visit the store. Not much info online because of the goro business mentality. Would want to check the other cuts in the future. :-)

@MJF9 - from Timewornclothing Tokyo, Japan themselves. Lovely store, got them hemmed as well to the correct length.

Finally took the plunge. Will wear them soon! 

Wow just wow @dudewuttheheck

But I gotta ask, which one is the best?

Although I don't own a pair, these are one of my all time faves too. Looking good! 

Thanks mate! Had been beating these boots for a while now. Especially on the occasional trip to Japan. The Amekaji store owners in Japan always mistook it for White’s. I always took that as a complement since White’s boots tend to be priced on the higher side. 

Toys McCoy Iron Clad Boots.

No complaints whatsoever, these are one of my faves.

Did anyone manage to try on the new Rider's Denim Jacket from the Flathead? (i.e. F -DJ004Z)

Looks promising, would love to hear some feedbacks on it

So your's were better apart from reinforcing with super glue and replacing the heel.......

Just playing, no offence.

None taken, but interesting to hear feedback from other users.  

I'm definitely planning to acquire a Moonstar in the near future given the good feedbacks I'm hearing from the brand.

My pair of low top red clouds started to disintegrate after about six months, the rubber is flaking off and coming unglued. I have some hi tops that have held up much better but they seem nowhere near as good the Moonstar-made stuff I've owned. 

Mine faired a little better, although, I made sure to super glue any openings between the mudguard and the canvass. As well as replaced the heel after some heavy abuse and heel drags. The newer model RedClouds no longer had this freebie of an extra heel included, unfortunately.

Perhaps you are right that Moonstar made stuff are for sure a cut above. Prices on the other hand is a litte steep as well.

Red Cloud Army Trainers (1st Gen)

Easily one of the best sneakers to pair with traditional denim. I’ve been wearing these for 3-years now and counting.

Thanks Ed, if that's the case, a Size 30 on the 147 should be perfect. If anyone has measurements, please do share :-)

Sweet @Saisen, I hope either the 28 or the 30 would fit me perfectly.

Thanks for all the info.

Yea 147 is my favorite for sure 

What's the smallest size they have? I normally wear sizes between 29-31 depending on the brand. On certain cuts especially wide ones, they're usually too big for me.

Thanks @Saisen & @ecsong187

These are indeed lovely, I'm leaning towards the 147 :-)

Anyone knows the difference between Lot 147 and 161? Is it the cut?

I've been meaning to get a hold of one of these bad boys as soon as I get the chance.

Wow, didn't know it would be that bad... Only saw one from the Warehouse Shop in Tokyo, never bought one. Now I know..
