Campagnolo

Anyone have post soak measurements for 33 and 34? I heard his next run is going to have the same sizing. Supposedly the 33 shrinks down to ~16.5inch waist and 12.5" thigh? 

Anyone know where I can find a pic of the patch? Didn't see it on the last page nor on Roy's IG.

@Taylor_RFG I had a question about your Journeyman fit I was hoping you could answer (DM always welcome)... I see that most "athletic" fits that work for me have a large thigh 2" down, but (on average) measures just about the same at the crotch. I see Railcar's fit starts out large at the crotch, and then has a ~1" taper two inches down. Is there any benefit in doing that? I've always been interested in trying some jeans but worried it'll fit too tight despite it being roomy at the crotch

e.g. 13" @ crotch going down to 12" two inches below

vs 

12.5" @ crotch and the same two inches down.

^I'm on my third jar of pomade, and won't use anything else. You guys got the scent, hold and amount of shine just right. Customer for life! I don't usually use aftershave, especially because I barely grow any facial hair, but may give it a try eventually haha.

actually you can take BART(Bay Area Rapid Transit) from SFO or OAK to the MacArthur station and then S&S is a 15 minute walk away. I second the Bakesale Betty recommendation, haha.

You're totally right! I hardly travel via BART anymore as a means of traveling to/from flights (as much as I despise Uber), so it totally slipped my mind. I definitely recommend Curbside Creamery if you trying to get some sweets as well. They're in the Alley where S&S used to be right around the corner! The whole area is such a legit spot.

how easy is it visit your store if i fly in from toronto? 

Very easy. Quite a bit away if you're flying in to and coming from OAK or SFO, but it's basically a straight shot over the bridge from SF or on the 580/880. They're shop is located in the Temescal neighborhood on Telegraph Ave that spans across Oakland and Berkeley. Tons of cool shops, restaurants and local talent around there. Try and grab a chicken sando from Bakesale Betty if you're in the area.

One of our customer's Old Blue 21/23oz after ~6 months of wear. The denim on these is so good, and the construction is flawless.

Those are looking awesome!

@BrennenCooke Damn those are looking good! 18oz Collect? I'm stoked to receive mines soon.

Looks like we got size 32 measurements for the XinJiang and Nihon Menpu in the Charles Atlas fits online. The thigh measurements are fair bit smaller than normal (12.25-375, as opposed to 12.625/75), which makes me kind of sad.

I wonder how Left Field determines the sizing for their releases...

Anyone familiar with how the Xinxiang denim age (in general)? Says that it's a softer cotton which allows the indigo to penetrate deeper. Does that indicate they'll be more stubborn to fade or just have a wider variation of blue? Also curious about how the Nihon Menpu will age. 

Love the Charles Atlas fit btw. My 18oz Black Maria are my favorite jeans I've ever owned. 4 solid months in and getting better every day

That's a great question. If anything I would think there would be a wider hue of blues.

Received my charcoal 9oz twill chinos today and they're a great fit. Colour looks as much blue as charcoal grey to me but I don't mind!

I thought the same as well when I got mine! Almost to the point where I thought they may have sent me the wrong pair, but under certain lighting I can see the similarities with the ones shown on their site. Maybe the more you wear it the more the color will start to match?

Xinxiang to my knowledge is a region rather than a mill. I'm not too familiar with any specific mills out of China but the Xinxiang cotton has a really great reputation and is known for being of a comparable staple to Zimbabwe, or longer. Red Cloud uses cotton from this region but I've never actually handled that. I'm super excited to find out more about these fabrics, I'm pretty sure this is the first time an American or Japanese brand has used Xinxiang cotton fabrics, at least to my knowledge. I haven't kept up with the industry happenings over the past few years. 

Looks like they're saying the fabric from Xinxiang is better than most Japanese fabrics used on their IG, which is cool considering they're significantly cheaper than other offerings. Interesting to find out more info about it!

Looks like Christian and co has some new midweight Greaser and Charles Atlas jeans available for pre order! Nice to see they worked out something with Nihon Menpu, and also interesting to see some fabric coming from China. Never heard of Xinjiang. @Left Field Maybe Christian or Jonny have some more info on the characteristics?

From first glance without a size chart, they look to have less taper than normal, but maybe that's from the angle the photos were taken?

Yeah man it would be sweet to have more people posting here again. I just copped some 18oz Black Marias in the Charles Atlas fit. My first time with denim from Collect Mills. After I'm done with my black denim from Tellason I'm gonna live in those for a good while.

Flying home from AZ tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to stop by in time. I'm convincing the lady that I need a pair right now!

Has anyone copped any of LF's hemp tees? These are the first ones I've ever had the chance of trying and they're waaay softer than I expected them to be. Love the textures, too. Here's a shot someone took of me while I'm in AZ for the week:

omg those sneakers are the most beautiful things I've ever seen. 

7 months on these Charles Atlas with one wash

How long is that sweet spot (Room of Doom) available for?

Just copped:

9oz Charcoal miners

Hemp/Cotton pocket tee in Natural and Navy Stripe

White pocket tube tee

All in all, I cannot wait for them to arrive!

new Indigo and grey terry sweatpants coming next week, they were sized down twice to account for the stretch in the heavy terry.  Take 10% off the shop until Sunday night with blacktuesday10. Happy Turkey Day all! 

Any chance you guys are going to bring back indigo dyed hoodies and eventually any olive/hunter green selvedge chinos in the Miner fit?

a very understanding wife!  As long as I spend one of my days off with her, she seems okay with me doing whatever on the other two.

That's the goal right there.

All the black denim in here makes me want to buy a pair for myself. Still working on my 14oz cone Charles Atlas, though. Next purchase for sure! Unless more indigo sweatshirts come out..
