@konadog fantastic purchase, looks great with faded denim

@MJF9 thanks mate, appreciated. As for the count, I have 4 in type 1 alone. A respectable amount, nothing too crazy but enough to warrant no new purchases for this year at least.

@lance cheers mate, the denim has a lot of character. Just love Samurai products, saw it on their website but manage to get it for a lot cheaper from an Australian company Corlection, who had a sale on.

Final buy before I start a no buy competition with myself and really try to enjoy what I already own AND get some fades: Samurai type 1 (new), Pike Brothers Shirt and Samurai 510: using iPhone so the colours and exposure are all over (usually looks like at atom bomb has gone off behind me!)

@Geeman I lived in Harborne for a year while I was a camera assistant on none other then Doctors and it was great. Nice pace of life especially as I was doing a minimum of 60 hours a week and on Friday we’d all drink up at the (if I remember correctly) Greenman pub. I saved up a lot of money but I was knackered all the time. The biggest highlight of the year was seeing the Black Keys live. Simple times.

@dudewuttheheck great threads mate

@Bobbo I have a pair of those as well, they’re great and the inseam is long. Need to put more wear into them.

Lol

Starting 2020 nice and crispy, with Orslow and Roy. Happy New Year to you and yours everybody :)

@MJF9 it’s a 44 as well and on the label it says sanforised but I think there’s a lot of shrinkage to be had, though it appears to happen in the length rather then the width of the body or the sleeves. I’ll just tuck my T-shirt’s in at the back and wear the jacket open, impossible to give this baby up.

So finally remembered to measure my jacket, these are post soaked measurements: Shoulders: 20" Back: 24.1" Chest: 23.5" Sleeves: 25" Shoulders and chest are good, sleeves are a bit meh, but the back is a surprise especially as it doesn't "feel" that sort. However my type 1 by McCoys is a good 2" longer and it does rest easier on my frame. Most probably I will only wear it open and with t-shirts as it is a thin jacket and I just love the fabric and the details like the pocket but most of all its just comfortable to wear. lol

@MJF9No, because I’m a blundering idiot who only reads labels after I’ve gone and soaked the damn jacket. Will put up post soaked measurements as soon as, though I have been wearing the jacket regularly so it’s had time to relax!

My Atlast jacket as it looks now after I gave it an extra soak, I think it’s slightly on the wrong side of just right but still loving it and use it layered up:

@Broark mate I wish my Atlast jacket fit so good. Even though it states that it’s sanforised I soaked it to try and get rid of the volume in the sleeves. It’s now gone from “just right” to just...

@BionicEye good effort mate, super nice fades
