@81FXR these Jelado chinos are worth considering. https://www.barnstormer.jp/view/item/000000011127?category_page_id=ct001

I have both the 1942 early buzz chinos and the 1082. The rise of the buzz is nice and high, while the rise on the 1082 is almost too low for me. That said, the fabric and construction of the warehouse pair is of noticeably higher quality. I wore both pairs for work pants and the warehouse fabric is much more robust and also, the construction much longer lasting. The warehouse pair also for the win in terms of comfort. If the rise was an inch higher they would be perfect for me. The buzz chinos are very good pants too, and cheaper to boot.

Has anyone ever had this message in their tracking history before? Beginning to think something isn’t right…

A quick way to deaden a sharp rivet is to simply place rivet over something hard, flat and sturdy, whatever you have most approximating an anvil. Take a normal hammer and let the head drop onto the rivet. Use more force until you have the desired effect.

Is this the Hoosier site everyone uses to keep up with new releases? https://hoosierfromfrenchlick.com It hasn’t changed in months.

That pair is definitely a top 10 for me. Hits all my favorite details. I think that the patch probably fell off voluntarily. The uniformity of color behind the patch makes me think that the patch was intact for most of the time the jeans were worn. The lack of any creasing, due to a shrunken patch pulling on the denim, means that they weren’t washed that often? All conjecture, I know.

More power to the weirdos doing their thing. I prefer all this nerd stuff to possessing an indifference to fashion. So many times in my life I’ve ridiculed others for acting in ways I don’t understand that I’m finally losing patience with myself.

I like this belt.

@MJF9 Thanks for the suggestion. Mirrorball were very quick in replying and got me sorted out. Now I get to see what all this Freewheelers fuss is about!

I’m in the market for a pair of sidewinder dark green shorts, size 34. Does anyone have a lead for a retailer that ships to USA? I found a pair at Mirrorball, but I could not navigate the Japanese language checkout.

I’d like the two solids the green/white border and the gold/brown(?). if still available.

Hey @Cold Summer What have you been wearing lately?

I would like to thank Self Edge NYC for going above and beyond to make me happy with a recent purchase. Particularly Sean was very understanding and prompt with communication. Five stars!

Does anyone have any clothing from attractions? If so, any strong opinions? And if positive, is their any dealers in Japan that ship to the USA?!! I have my eye on their black salt and pepper chinos. They seem real nice.

@Jared_Lee You make the clothes look effortless to wear. Everything in the upcoming season looked excellent. And although I have no personal interest in pre-distressed denim, i can’t say I’ve seen the process done better. Let me ask you a question. How did it feel to wear the monks work coat? I have been hoping that one of the great brands would give a strong nod and make something distinctly Japanese, but with the American flair they do so well. It would appear that this jacket would fit the bill. I only wonder if I would be able to pull this look off, while at the same time not feeling self conscious wearing it. This usually means I already really know the answer as to whether it would be a good idea to gamble. And that am most likely being foolish to even try. But… It looks so cool! Anyways, any impressions you may have would be appreciated.
