I'm super excited!!!

I went with a size W32 L31 in one-wash and am 170cm/70kg (but definitely gained a few kilos over the last few months). Should be A-okay!

Yoyo @volvo240thebest, just placed my order!

Do one-wash TCBs shrink much in the inseam after subsequent washes (with tumble drying)? Understandably, this is a different fabric from previous offerings, but am tossing up between different inseam lengths.

if we get to 99 pairs at least, I can move you to 99, it's not going to be cheap but I can do it.

Actually, I'll settle for 89 if we get there. I like that number haha

I think I'm in...

14 to 100 now...

 

If I join, can I please be number 99? 

Whoa, the number of participants is crazy... Still a few days to 180 on my original decision 

I unfortunately won't be participating in this contest, but I'm happy to see that the contestant list is still growing! Should be a fun comp to follow =)

LVC '55 + Tricker's

@beautiful_FrEaK Fit looks really nice! I have to agree that low rise + no belt is the best option. When I used to wear a belt with my 711, it would be nutcracker-tight whenever I sat down for extended periods of time.

I'd be into either the hickory stripe, olive/brown canvas, or herringbone pockets. Not super keen on having indigo-stained thighs during the warmer, sweatier months. And I also forgot to says thank @volvo240thebest for helping organise this—it'll be fun to watch and/or participate!

Not sure whether I want the measurements to work out so that I can join the contest, or if I want the measurements to not work out since I wasn't planning on buying jeans this year...

I want a lower rise pair of Resolute but can’t decide if I should get the 712 or 713.

Did you have a preference for buttons or zips?

I've asked for actual measurements of 33/32 and 33/34 at Beige, and hope that they work for an exchange.

Hey man, I have a W33 L33 in the 710. I've been wearing them for a number of months and can give you the measurements when I get home =)

Edit: Here are my measurements BiG style. This is after stretching/wearing (machine washed and tumble dried a number of times over the last six months).

Waist: 42.25cm

Front rise: 28cm

Back rise: 40cm

Thigh: 31.25cm

Knee: 22cm

Hem: 19.25cm

Inseam: 77cm

Found this absolute steal! He apparently accepts "serious offers" only lol

Damn @Max Power, those look good! Maybe I should have got the white 711s...

Uh oh wallet...

Hej 711 owners. How long is your L32 inseam in reality?!

Your resident 711 wearer here! If measured like in this pic, the L32 is approximately 76cm.

Edit: This is my W32 L32, but I can take more measurements if you need 

I can't quite tell from the translated description, but is there a new 1971 being added to the lineup...? Or is it just limited to the five crazily-priced special jeans with the gold flair?

That's a really good point. I'm more worried about the thighs than anything else, especially because I see such conflicting measurements.

Which sites have you been looking at? It can definitely be a bit confusing, but I've noticed that a lot of Japanese retailers list the thigh measurement as 10cm from the crotch seam. 

Did anyone else know that the Rakuten Global Market was going to close in June 2020...? This is the first time I'm hearing about it.

My coffee/mailbox run outfit. IH vest, Uniqlo sweatshirt, Resolute, and New Balance.

to slimmer people who are starting to look fatter

You're describing my current predicament 

Here are my Tricker's Woodstock (4497S last) in size 9 UK, fitting 5. I honestly don't know much about leather and shoes, so don't expect any technical write-ups à la @dudewuttheheck haha 

This is there Olivvia deerskin leather, which is quite different from my other leather shoes. It's really soft, but the shoe is still structurally sound. I'm unsure how they'll hd up in rainy weather, so I'll have to test run them when I'm able to go out for a walk. I'll wait a while to see whether I'd like to have visible eyelets or not, but so far, so good. I'm really happy with how these fit! For more extra sizing info, I am a 10D US on a Brannock device, 9.5 in Lofgren engineers, 9.5D US in Red Wing number 8 last, and 10.5D US in New Balance.

Yo Ed, I haven't had time to watch your interview with Hayashi-san. Did you manage to find out more information on the next iteration of denim he'll use?

@lee porter Did you get any of the special... accoutrements (i.e. the white bandana or stickers)?
