  1. working at home (flat is freezing) and trip to local supermarket (freezing with air con)!!! plus: any slim opportunity to layer is taken!!! (plus: prepping a/w teaching material goes hand in hand with prepping a/w fitz!)
  2. great comparison: def gets to the core subtle differences: appreciated! staying with the m-1951s… post overalls-tcb-vintage-timberland
  3. maths was never my strong point: carry on, whoopsie!!
  4. chefs kisses to @smoothsailor and @cultpop 0217 both: glorious in yr different minimalist/maximalist ways... and @MJF9 - I do love a mao suit... how do you find those fw double knees in comparison to the ooe / bandana ones?
  5. late to the party, but; my basic experience is that I stop wearing things that are too small, whereas those with a bit of give are a happy place... and the 50s are pretty strict in the top block...
  6. here is the tcb account of shinya - https://tcbjeans.myshopify.com/blogs/ニュース/shinya-mills certainly tcb's 50s fabric from there is one of my all time favourites... pretty sure their 'Boss of the Cat' overalls are from there too [really great fabric] any good experiences out there for kaihara? I had the eu made lvc 50s version from that mill; was pretty uniform, less weave-chattery [gave them to brother in law before seeing any real fades tho...]
  7. most excellent, cannot think of a more experienced and responsible duo with varied fit styles to help us all along! I was certainly thinking of going for a w40 as it seems all quite neat from the fits seen on insta and b_F's review; but will wait until denim is decided... In terms of denim choices: whichever is more 'wartime 40s' is my preference - any thoughts from those who know more? hoping for a 30s cut in such a 40s denim... [have a lot of shinya denim with various tcb pieces, but will probably lean to kaihara for variation: they are the Levis suppliers now?]
  8. textures day: post overalls, orslow, vintage m-1951
  9. excellent news on dates and denim: 18 months gives two autumn / winters and only one july/august (for those in northern hemisphere…) for example: 01 jan 2025-01 july 2026?
  10. repeating others: but best option imo is to have: the variables as cut and pizza arc the constants as WoM sourced denim (somewhere between 12-14oz pls…) and patch design… in terms of denim i would welcome what WoM can offer rather than a plethora of requests… givens the expressions of interest seems something appropriate to 40s and 50s is the most appropriate… and good luck with the upcoming nativity! hard to juggle two forms of nascence!!!
  11. imma in: either 30s or 40s… thanks for the organising @beautiful_FrEaK
  12. I like either wom/pizza and multi-maker '42 options [cos I luv a cinch]... ... 40s cut allows many participants and wondering what we get with eu maker with less focus on the fabric, more emphasis on the cut / pattern...
