I've always wanted my jeans to have a fly in the back 

Not too keen on the back yoke or the ventilation holes but great to see this kind of effort. Hopefully this will pay off so that we will see size xl also in future shirts!

Might be interested depending on the back rise

@BrownMetallic have to agree on the Viberg's heel shape, it's just the perfect heel taper. And you seem to have only good Vibergs too, none of that pointy toe shite!

Thank you for your input and regards from an owner of that pointy toe shite

If you're referring to me, it was an accident, read that the temp was 30C

Washing time ~70min, hang dry

There's no angst, I was just wondering what if anything the rules said about this. In the end you have to still rely on the honesty of those competing or take the anything goes approach.

Strange, here's mine ! As I said this is 90C, what about you, 90F?

True, I'm only speaking for myself of course. But what are the rules on the upcoming tcb contest or dwc contest regarding this and if there are some rules how are they enforced? Or does it really matter how the denim evolution has taken place as long as the end result gets the votes?

I washed my xx-003 accidentally in 90C water, no harm done to denim but the patch was obviously ruined

Ok, maybe it's 'fair' but I thought the consensus was for the natural evolution of denim through wear and against tricks. Might have been wrong on that.

I understand completely the use of a dryer if it's part of your usual washing routine. But this "He applies a bit of starch after wash, before dryer on major crinkling points like hem, traintracks, coinpocket" is a bit far fetched. What's next? Sandpaper?

Asking you experts how much banner denim will shrink in subsequent washes. I've given my lot800 two one hour washes without detergent in the washer in 40C. In the second wash the inseam still shrunk a bit -1cm/0.5", is there still some shrinking to be expected?

Don't know the construction of your derbies but if it's stitchdown and you want it to stay that way, I guess that Viberg or Brian are your best options. Gyw is no challenge to competent cobblers but stitchdown is another matter.

Volvo, have you lost weight? Either that or those jeans with higher waist have a slimming effect. Great pickup!

I wouldn't wear a bowtie with a suit but the colors of the third one would probably complement a navy suit better than the rest.

@Bobbo Could you post the measurements pre/post wash?

So, I just picked up a raw 30's jacket in size 40 from http://goteborgmanufaktur.se/sv/. Fit should be spot on, maybe a bit long in the body. 
 

Pics and measurements to come!

Took a look at the site, no tcb listed? Was your jacket a one off?

Congrats! It's a long wait, but worth it for sure. There are already several differences that I've noticed already. The biggest benefit of Role Club for me so far is having my feet measured by Brian. These fit better than any boots or shoes I've ever owned (it will be interesting to see how the White Klouds fit). I will be doing a video review/comparison eventually.

 

What boots/specs did you go for?

Specs:

Boot Option: RC 2307 Engineer Boot

Leather: Brown CXL Horsehide

Heel: Lower Stacked Woodsman Heel (1 1/2")

Edge Finish: Medium Brown

I'm hoping that these will fit well too. Well, at least Brian was satisfied with the measurements I sent as I documented each with a pic.

Picked up my Role Clubs from Brian this weekend. Getting my feet measured gave me the best fitting pair of boots/shoes ever right out of the box. The wait was definitely worth it! It's going to be fun comparing these to Clinch

Congrats on those Role Clubs, I'm waiting for mine, eta should be in late june. I'm definitely interested to hear the differences in these and Clinch

Yup, I think that she's a troll. She calls the rest of us bullies and threatens to leave but doesn't do it. She doesn't care of the advice she's been given, she just keeps on posting the same old shit over and over again. Sad.

Thanks, that's big enough! Do they ship outside of Japan or do you need a proxy?

Where can one get 711s in bigger sizes? They seem to  be very hard to find...

Mojique, can"t you just stop this ridiculous monologue, the last 7 posts were made by you. No one's interested in how many pairs of jeans you have, a clear indication of this should be the fact that you get no likes
