These look great! I sized down for the test lots, which (I think) are the same cut, and I’m wishing now that I had picked these up and either gone tts or maybe even sized up. It’s cool that you can get such different fits from the same cut. What is that jungle fatigue shirt, btw? Army surplus, or Japanese repro?

Oh that’s really nice. What is the maximum number of type 3s a guy can own?

SS19 is now live. (Couldn’t get JDelage’s link to work, but it’s here.) Lots of good stuff — Stevenson is the only menswear outfit I can think of where SS is consistently as good as/better than FW. Really like the Rounder, Swingstar, and Lone Wolf jackets (though doubtful I could pull them off). Those camp shirts with the white squares are great. Summer Knit and Terry Cloth Tees look pretty special. As a big thighed fellow, I’m liking the straight tapered jeans they are offering (Carmel and Imperial). Am I right that this is the first time they’re offering this cut as a part of their regular lineup? (The 714 is just for Self Edge, right?)

This is an interesting detail. For hang drying? Anywhoo, I was planning on picking up my repaired Iron Hearts from SENY tomorrow. But I really don’t want to walk out the door $400 poorer... Quite the dilemma.

I own two pairs of jeans by Stevenson (plus 4 pairs of pants) and I really like the fit. My advice: ignore the waist and focus on getting the other measurements right. If you’re ok with a low rise jean, there’s a good chance you can make these work. Maybe it’s my big butt, but I find I don’t strictly need a belt (though I usually wear one). And the details and denim are truly special. I'm not sure if this is their reasoning, but I will say this: these are the only slim fitting, low rise jeans I own that are comfortable to sit down in.

Kiya, am I correct in assuming I should size down one size on the chambray?

Those are awesome, Broark. I didn’t know Roy had made cinch back jeans. But it might be a bit risky to post pictures of those back pockets on a public forum...

Yeah, not complaining at all. But surprised.

Just got my pair of Boss Overalls. I’m anticipating these will be in heavy rotation this fall. They look <kissing fingers emoji>. Love the high rise. Definitely a fuller cut than I’m used to — I think these are a true straight leg cut — but hey, I’m not as skinny as I once was. And I’m definitely planning on making use of those extra buttons once I find the right accessory. Will post pics when I do. One thing I didn’t even notice until a few days of wear — it’s a feature I’m so used to seeing at this point that I guess I even see it when it isn’t there — is the lack of selvedge. Anyone know the story with that design choice? A pretty bold move!

Thanks! I ride my bike just about everywhere so there’s probably 50 miles at least on these; maybe that explains the difference? You got a much better fit out of these than I did, by the way. I probably should have sized up one. Agreed on the rise being a bit too low...

Thanks, @felonius monk. That is super helpful. Also, your jeans look awesome.

Wow, thanks Ruedi!

Thanks, Maynard!

Wow, two years without any action here? Is Imperial still making jeans? SEXI23s. I bought these at least 5 years go. During that time, my thighs got a bit bigger. (Beer? Squats? Middle age? I'll never tell.) I'm not sure the slim tapered look is for me anymore, but I can still just barely squeeze into these. But I don't think I can mount a bike in these without ripping them in half, and since I ride a bike just about everywhere, these are definitely on the back burner. Probably at least a year of wear. At least 10 washes in the bathtub. One repair. I am pretty proud of these.

Saddle pants. I bought these when they came out (last September, maybe?) and have been wearing pretty regularly since then. Maybe 100 wears? At least 5 washes in the bathtub. The denim on these shrinks/stretches A LOT. These go from skinny jeans to actually-quite-baggy jeans in just a few days. I've never had jeans stretch out so much in the leg. I feel like even the calf and leg opening stretch out. I really love the details and how they feel, but I was somewhat on the fence about the look of the fabric. And then something happened (the weather changed?) and they started looking pretty good. Still nowhere near what other folks' OAs are looking like -- ALB's and Broark's are what I am aspiring to. Probably need to be washing more regularly. In any case, I think by the end of the summer, these will be looking as good as they feel.
