You are free to think whatever you want, but please try to keep your political views out of this forum as they may rub up me (and many other potential customers of the shop you are affiliated with, apparently) the wrong way. You should have enough common sense to figure it out alright I think!

 

I might be missing something, but what's political about calling it chinese? Where I am it's called that way commonly (even on national TV) and without any racist/political context.

maybe I missed somewhere in the topic, but how many Freewheelers shirts do you have?

anyone have experience with the sunset chambray shirt

Does it run large?

How is the fit?

great shirt, but fit is definitely as of those days.. sold mine and will buy again some day size down (wear M, sold M, will buy S)

Slimmer leg? I saw pics and they looked like the 0705 ones but with more room in the thighs. 

 

thigh/leg ratio slimmer, or can say more tapered (I choose fit and size not from waist, but from thighs, so me perception of fit bases on it)

Hi there, 

I just bought online the 0605-SA GTB 18oz 

Are they a new model? I got the 701 vintage one and the 705GTB in Japan 2014 and now they both fit too tight size 31 so I bought these new ones size 33 and was wondering if the fit is very different from the old models.

thank you 
 

0605 is of their western cut (higher rise, slimmer leg), introduced 2-3 years ago, so probably differ from the ones you had before

Do people know anything about Shuttle Notes? Not sure if unknown or simply unknown *by me*. Among other things they make the MiJ clothes at Jinji in Paris

 

Standard&Strange carried them couple years ago (had one great shirt that I really wanted but they were out of my size)

Hopefully he will exchange/refund you. But with Japanese online shops I'm not sure this will happen easily...especially since the Denime which produced these pants are no longer existent. 

had similar happen (not at butt, but that quickly) with Leftfields several years ago, contacted them regarding issue (without demands to replace or anything) and reply was that I can go fuck myself as it's not their problem. Any better response I consider better service

The best fitting tees I've found are from Lady White, but the fabric is uninspiring and they don't hold up particularly well over time.

and here I am with my Lady Whites that just refuse to die  seriously, most durable Tees I've handled

I couldn't resist the suggestion. But the stock laces are probably the cheapest laces I ever touched

 

also very loud on hard floor

for those that have the cossacks, how heavy is the fabric and how warm are they?  is this something that can be worn as it warms up a bit?

Broark is from Texas and got 3 each for spring, summer and fall  - you'll be fine

Whats the general view on the back pocket painting on Brown duck&diggers? I'm really undecided about it.

 

don't know about general view but I have those 

look not that flashy when worn on.but great denim, fabulous detailing (green stitching, greened rivets and else), I really like the shape of back pockets and fit is really good (on par with ooe 02)

interestingly, a friend of mine (avid lover of IH and Stevensons) after saw those on me for the first time spent some time searching and ordered one for himself

I like your thought pattern tho gents, when faced with a potential threat to humanity, your main concern is 'how could this impact on my ability to purchase nice clothing'

 

if we are all to die I prefer to be buried wearing some fancy stuff

By the way, what's up with Ed's crazy dislike for John Lofgren? Is this a running gag, some personal beef, or does he really think the shoes suck? 

he just answered that on previous page, see "got banned in his shop"

so, 5 months in. worn almost daily (I would say ~130-140 wears) - still not much signs of fade and wear (like some of you have here), maybe I should start jogging in them or doing some labour job.

Man, I was hoping for a slimmer cut like the 800. Probably wouldn’t have been an option given the the new denim. 

you can always taper/tailor them (yeah yeah I know heretic heretic! but still that's a solution)

9. Request Optional Longer inseam - No - 72% 

why even would someone vote No? even if you don't need longer inseam you will likely want guys with longer legs also to participate

it seems neck and neck Roy and Warehouse - IF Roy was willing to do this it would be more interesting (to me) to have a contest jean designed by him and also a real excuse to fork out money saved up for a pair of his craftsmanship. More unique. That being said Warehouse is a fantastic company - their latest 1967 seems ready to go for this project. Just more unique I can see it...being a Roy. Budget doubles of course. Peace and Godt Nytår (Danish for happy new year). 

Completely agree with that. With all the great possible choices the option with Roy is good because a) it's Roy b) it would be done for us, so real unique contest pair

and budget issue.. $$200-400 in 2 years perspective of contest is not that much of a difference. just wear this one pair and don't buy more

Warehouse is taking the lead.

They have the 25th anniversary this year so maybe they will release something that could be used as a contest pair. A shop is probably needed to make sure enough pairs are ordered. 

wouldn't the inseam length on them be a problem for some of us?

Question to all the Paraboot guys around here: how did you size them compared to Viberg/Red Wing/New Balance? Thanx

Anyone doing a No Buy 2020? I think I may buy 1 pair of jeans (something I’ve had my eye on) but other than that I’m trying to buy nothing else (again) unless I’m replacing something that has worn out or I’m selling. I failed last year but didn’t do too badly.

participating in contests helps - ~9 months without new jeans (longest I've gone for years)
