We don’t need this shit shit on a denim forum do we? I come here to get away from politics.

Couldn't agree more, sorry if my post offended anyone, I wasn't thinking. Still enjoy Morrissey's music and as for far left and far right, not a fan of either. I got Polish roots and I have heard what both sides did to my family, non of it any good. Just hope we can learn from the past and move on...

@Radiohead89 don't forget to throw that Morrissey fella into the mix: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/may/30/bigmouth-strikes-again-morrissey-songs-loneliness-shyness-misfits-far-right-party-tonight-show-jimmy-fallon

@peter1 maybe not regular but I have enough selvedge shirts to rotate so I’ll try to go long enough before I wash it. And yeah even with the 30% discount it was pricey but as they soften up the fit gets more awesome. 

@maharu thanks mate. The fit is wow. 

Some quick pics of Orslow rigid button down shirt (size 5) that I just got sent through from Superdenim sale:

Yeah I bagged myself an Orslow denim shirt, should be arriving tomorrow. 

@JDelage Clutch just off Oxford Circus isn’t bad https://clutch-cafe.com/ they have a nice budding selection and a few of the staff crossed over from Son of a Stag https://www.sonofastag.com/ , not the best website better to go in person as the have floor to ceiling of denim stock. Some of their pieces have killer prices...

Love the PJB Jacket, just the right amount of “boxy fit” you could ever need

PJB, Nudie sweat, Gustin green selvedge and PFs

@MJF9 those jeans look so awesome! Jacket too!

Thanks @MJF9, is the 147 with the cinch? They had a pair sized 34 and they looked great  just needed them to be a size up. And yes they have one whole glass cabinet (on the left) full of Atlast stuff, quite a few shirts, trousers and other tops. Nothing in my size. Thank goodness. 

So I took a looksie in Vintage Showroom after somebody mentioned Atlast and pick up a very nice jacket. Almost bought a denim tux, but the only jeans they had in my size was without the cinch (can’t remember the lot number) and I wasn’t overly impressed with the cut. The label said it was sanforised but I gave it another soak as the arms have a lot of volume and it turned into instant cardboard. A couple of nights sleeping it will sort it out, I’m sure the Mrs will understand :)))

New arrivals from Standard and with the help of a hot wash and a dehumidifier, I am stretching these back into its original forgiving size. 2020 year of the OooooeeeeeEEE!

Making the most of OA02 while waiting for the OA01 from Standard. Fantastic denim and the cut is just so easy to get on with. A pleasure to wear. 

@Inimitable N! whoop whoop!

Layering up with an 20 year old Abercrombie Jacket over RM, Sams and PFs. 

Totally forgot I had put in for these. First purchase from Gustin, they took a couple of months to get to me but I’m totally stoked. They look as good as they did in their pictures, I went for the straight cut and they’re really comfy and soften up quickly. Can’t wait to pair them up with my denim shirt collection. 

Sunny day in East London

PJB, QUBA, Orslow, Cons

@dau interesting, I was after S0555vx in size 46 that they were advertising but they got back to me saying it was out of stock. I might try and see if there is anything els3 they can get from the Samurai website. 

@Maynard Friedman brilliant thanks mate

thanks for the response 

@JDelage hmmmm i was hoping that wouldn't be the case, at the bottom of their advert they state that returns are not possible, I have the S553XX (type 3) in a size 46 and its a pretty good fit so fingers crossed it will be of a similar size...

@andrewrose did you manage to contact them via the Rakuten website? I'm looking at the page and went tot he shop information but couldn't see a direct way to email them, can't wait to use google translate-hopefully nothing gets lost in translation and I won't offend anyone!?!

I'll be getting the item sent to the UK but in your experience how much extra have you paid for the delivery?

So I am thinking of using Rakuten for the first time as I am after a Samurai Type 1 denim jacket, there is one outlet called 2nd and it looks like there are 2 jackets both in size 46:

https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/2nd/item/sj-s0555vx/

https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/2nd/item/sj-s0551xx/

I think I have seen the outlet mentioned before on other threads and i was wondering if anyone has had dealings with them or contacted them? I really want to double check sizing before I commit. Any help would be appreciated.
