No. 27 checking in... 36 OW. First day in action doing some yard work at a millionaires property... replanted some gooseberry. I’m happy that the patch and pocket bags are in contest edition as well.

After sending back my 32OW, my 36OW will be arriving on tuesday. I can't believe how much I mis-sized myself . The world shutting down definitely played a role in that.

Is the arm length measured from the pit or shoulder? If it is pit, can you do a shoulder to sleeve measurement?

Is this jacket for sale? Size?

All fit pics posted have inspired me... great fits. I think I will exchange. and yes I do think I’ll catch up thanks Volvo

Wow... seeing everyone’s fits makes me want to wait the extra month to get a proper size. With that in mind, I definitely need to size up. Does anyone want to trade a 32 OW for a 34 OW?! Lol worth a shot Otherwise I will confirm with Ryo for an exchange. It means no patch or pocket bags for me but I’d rather the good fit. Will come around mid-October tho

Update: I just measured my natural waist right above the belly button (Which i assume the jeans will sit due to their higher rise) and I am at 34inches. Maybe a 34 OW would be good for me, as opposed to the 32 OW I have... anyone have the 34 OW measurements? Just for the waist, I don't care about the rest.

To commemorate the beginning of the WWII contest and the end of these pants being in my rotation, here are some pics of my thrashed 20s and my daily drivers, the Seamen trousers

I will definitely do that actually.. Might as well!

FedEx man almost left with my jeans but called me back and asked about my unit number. Close call! Here’s a fit pic. Wow the rise is high and the thigh is tighter than I thought. I thought I was already sizing up with the 32 OW but would’ve went with the 33. Definitely manageable though. No number tag on my pockets though! Will have to write one in myself! No. 27! Please excuse the mess I just came back from a camping trip. I’ve decided to hold off on soaking and washing for as long as possible, let the starch do some work and minimize shrinking. The combination of a slightly heavier denim paired with residual starch really gives a sharp and crispiness to the evolution. I intent to “pre-set” the evolution with minimal initial washing.

That Gloria Barnes record sounds extremely enticing. I just recently got that James Brown album and I definitely think its an underrated James Brown album. Edit: Can anyone recommend a good cleaning solution for vinyl records? I recently ran out and am looking for something to clean my records with. Even a good homemade recipe.

So happy a thread like this exists now! Outside of denim my biggest passion in life is music. This year, I finally completed my vinyl setup and began collecting non-stop. I am a music student so I am on the search for as many guitar-based jazz albums as I can get. Here's a peak of some favourites. I have yet to acquire a hip-hop album but at the top of my list for that would have to be Hieroglyphics "3rd Eye Vision". It is one of those albums where there isn't a bad song (like MM...FOOD, IMO.)

Just ordered 32 OW! I'm so so excited to be a part of my first contest jeans, with my favourite maker, TCB. Representing Canada.

I got it. The fabric is light, kinda stretchy. The SPI count is larger than my Warehouse chambray and the buttons are more loosely threaded. With that said, I like to wear it when it is hotter and maybe have the sleeves and front unbuttoned. The green tacks are a nice touch.

Where can I purchase something like this?
