Facini

While in the process of moving, I dug out my old 44s. Started wearing these in 2019 till about sometime in start 2021 I think. Don’t fit anymore - maybe they are too small or I got bigger, haha. These are some of the more recents cone’s. Maybe some day I’ll be back in them.

That kaihara 505 fabric is such a stubborn fader, it’s crazy. I’ve worn my to pieces and it’s like it’s not really poaaible to get them to that true light blue state all round

My San Antonio ‘55s are about a year into their rotation. There were a couple of months where it was out of rotation because I didn’t get around to repairing them. This denim is really something else. It’s been a pretty stubborn fader, but it’s really starting to come through now.

I'm super happy with the fit of the new 50s jacket, this is a size 44 and I can't think of a better cut for me. Impressive texture as well, hairy, soft and grainy. I'm loving it and I really can't take it off

 

Amazing fit man. Say, did they change the cut to make it more period correct? I remember it as more modern. What does it measure in the back

Feel like the jacket has started settling nicely. Doesn’t flare out in front like when it was brand new. The sleeves are also showing some promising progress.

New jacket fits you perfectly mate!

Man, have i scored today.

 I was browsing around some local ad sites and came across this beauty. From the label I knew this was good. But it’s full of surprises for me!

It has “O” buttons and shares many details with my 557xx from the same factory. Same buttons, same sleeve cuff construction (and the button adjusters on the back) - all common of the “O” factory. Yellow bartacking, meaning this is definitely one of the earlier ones.

the stitching is all over the place with the colormatching - two tone on one side, all yellow in the other. yellow in the collar and pockets and armhole, orange everywhere else.

seen also is my late 60s/early 70s Big E, which is more as to be expected. They also have vastly different silhouettes. This new one is way more boxy and more tight in the shoulders. Very 557 in the fit. Had it not had a label, I’d have called it a 557. I’m pretty sure this a transition model!

Stumped to find it. And at a bargain price.

Excuse the bad lighting throughout haha 

@MJF9 appreciate it! Can’t wait to put the miles on it!

Haha. I just picked the first one to show up, didn’t pay attention to the year!

Showing off my At Last Co jacket bought from @MJF9. Cheers mate!

Any way for non-US residents to watch this?

@Newman Where in the world are you at? And is it onewash?

I've been looking out for a 101-j, but i'm not really sure how to size them. My late 60s 70505-0217 is a 42 and that fits pretty slim on me, but generously enough for me to have a hoodie or such underneath. Think I'd prefer a 44. tips for sizing the J??

Does anybody know of places in mainland and no brexit EU that sells leather jackets? I’m thinking of parting with my Aero Highwayman as the I can’t really get comfortable with the fit. 

Haha, sure she isn’t peeking over your shoulder as we speak? 

ill shoot you a message

SOLD

Pike Brothers N1 deck jacket up for sale. These are really good repros. 100% wool liner. Plenty of wear left. Some bleed from my jeans on the bottom. Not the cleanest, but also no stains. I bet If you take it to a dry cleaner, it’ll be spotless

broke a thread in one of the hand warmer pockets, easy fix.

I feel it’s pretty generously sized for a medium. I’m at 90kg and around 183 and it fits me, albeit snugly. 

120€  

SOLD

My 554 San Antone’s starting to come to life. 6 months of mostly daily wear. Been washed fairly frequently too. Can’t wait to see how they look after about a year of wear. I love these jeans. Fit like a glove and no need for a cuff.

@Duke Mantee do you take orders? Do you have site to shiw various options if leather and hardware if so?

TCB 40's, Size 34, Sufu price €150 (plus shipping from Sweden)

Gave them a gentle wash when purchased, and then worn for only a few days. So pretty much like new. Unmodified length.
Can update with measurements if interested. 

Can You send me the measurements could be interested!

I'm interested in getting a pair of trousers in linnen, classic fit in ecru perhaps?. Can someone point me in the right direction?

While i'm at it, I have also been trying to find a good chino. Looking for a good classic fit again, here. Any suggestions?

My first pair of shrink to fits. 1954 501zxx. Bought in December 2015 and worn just about everyday for over a year then to more infrequent use. Lots of repair including a back pocket repair and having the entire ass darned. Front pockets repaired too many times to count. Side stitch repair. Long since retired. They faded quick because they were always on the tighter side.

Here's an old Heddels article they were featured in from before the entire ass blew out. Pictures in the article are from Autumn 2016.
