@mpukas I’m planning on machine washing mine gentle like everything else & air drying, so I can report back in a week or so on how much shrinkage I see I’ve found that when I say I’m only gonna dry-clean clothes I just never end up wearing them, & that seems like a waste—I’ll happily shrink it some & cut its lifespan a little short if that means wearing it as much as I want in stead of letting it sit in the hamper for weeks at a time while I forget to take it to the cleaners—to each their own, though

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

^ Those descriptions hardly touch on any of what sets the ‘47 and the ‘66 apart…

Really excited that Self Edge got Stevenson to make up a batch of those merino thermals in XXL—always wanted one since trying them on a few years ago, but the XL would have def. been too small after a wash

How are the pocket bags? Tempted to get a pair if they’re on the more standard (less Warehouse-y) end of the size spectrum

Tightness and style of spinning, yarn weight and plying, maybe fiber length, probably weave tension…

There are other factors that make much more of a difference—but yes, it often seems to be

What those lack in functionality they make up for in ugliness…

Speaking of Paraboot: Anyone looked into Ando Shoes / Function Pulse as an option for that style of French / Alpine / whatever sort of thing? Seems like they have good pedigree and some satisfied reviews, but not a whole lot of info floating around… Considering them for a pair of trekking boots

If you’re not fussy about ‘40s detailing, the Dawson black regular could be a good option

Fuck that’s lovely

No

How’s that on Taylor Stitch? The care instructions said to hand wash or dry clean & you knowingly disregarded them…

^ Sort of—One Tenth, linked on the previous page, seems to be something like their flagship / primary retailer

@hurhur Yes, their aging photos are what got me really interested—sadly, still haven’t been able to find much (any) info on sizing Even just a comparison to standard JP sizing would be nice

MOTO shoes after another round of conditioner pre- and post-brushing: & in finished form (w/ slightly different lighting, & corn husk for reference):

I have a shirt from S/S 2020, but I guess that's not that recent anymore…

Any experience with Noriei? https://noriei.jp/ Some really handsome looking makeups—seems like a similar aesthetic to MOTO

Those really do fit great—I almost put a bid in for that Hammersmith but figured it’d be better off going to someone your size than mine, & I’m glad it worked out the way it did

W31 M41058 on Mercari for ¥10k Great jeans

Never worn suspenders before, but as a big fan of both TCB & MOTO I’ve been getting increasingly excited to see what they come up with Anyone planning on getting a pair?

Congratulations, @beautiful_FrEaK!! Warehouse x 2 / Hollows / Russell The color of the shoes doesn’t come across well in photos at all, but I’m really happy with how they’ve turned out

I would’ve needed a size or two up in the ‘40s, but mostly ‘cause of how much slimmer they are through the crotch, seat, & thighs—I could see the waist itself having stretched out if necessary edit: This is relative to the ‘50s

Another few days of wear on the White’s
