I took 31 in both. Could have gone down to a 30 in both with a bit of a stretch. I’m short though, only 170cm.

Mended left knee. Right hand knee looks kinda fine but turn the leg inside out and you’ll clearly see the hole forming.

Cheers @efujobu1. While imho not the most flattering fit for my body type I enjoy them a lot. Another wash and I might have to mend the right hand knee as well. I’ll try to get some detail pics up this wknd.

Decided to preemptively mend my left knee as a hole was imminent.

Small update regarding the above raw/one wash questions. Seems they where raw. Got about 4cm in length and nearly as much in the waist. Top block is much trimmer over all and much more puckering. Thanks everyone who chimed in! I’ll update with fit pics ones I’m home again.

They’re having a soak now anyways.

Smart tip regarding the care labels there @bod but same ambiguity there.

I also came to the conclusion when researching the style nr but I think there’s just to little puckering. Some on the back yoke but that’s it.

Thanks Maynard. They’ve def been hemmed. The inseam is just 75cm (29,5 inches). Waist is about 42cm (33 inches).

Does anyone know if these are one wash or not? There’s some mild puckering at the yoke but no other signs of them ever touching water. Gonna get them hemmed tomorrow so need to know if I should soak or not. Bonus fact; got them off of Swedish ebay for about $20.

Thought I’d give a bit of an in depth update. Some threads are starting to unravel and I can see where my pair might end up in a few months time now. Both pocket bags where the thing that broke first (This is very normal for me) and where mended months ago. Left side by hand and right hand side first with machine and later by hand. Both are in need of some more work before the new holes get larger. After that the threads at the crotch where unraveling. Caught it in time and matched up the thread colour pretty well I think. Had to mend the back pocket where my wallet where making a hole. Below the pocket you can also see a fault in the weave (loom shatter?). Both knees are wearing thin and might break any day now and here’s to the million dollar question, to mend or not to mend?! Usually I’ll always mend these things but this being a comp I’m unsure. It’s harder to see the natural evolution with a big patch over the evo right?

Started to get a bit cooler here in Sweden so started wearing jeans again. Haven’t been completely faithful to the 40’s though. Missed about 2-3 months maybe. Feels like they get better every wash. Can’t really say how many washes they’ve been through but maybe 7-8. Line dry except 1 trip in the dryer. Patch is still quite smooth and supple. Might have given it some mink oil early on.

Not much action the last couple of months due to actual summer temps here in Sweden. Thought I’d give you guys an update anyhow.

Just got this shirt in the mail. Thought I bought an lvc shirt but it looks kinda sus. Made in Indonesia and a red tab with a small e. Main line or fake? What do you guys think? Fabric is nice enough and construction is solid though.

I’ll take some proper pics once washed, promise.
