Anyone know where to get Spring Court G2 in the US (other than all white or navy?) Back in the day they had a beige with the thick mint sole. Absolute bangers, top left here.

Slight cross post but wanted to share the following here too. I've been talking to the good people of timeworn and they sent over the following measurements: Lot 147 size 36 after one wash Waist laid flat: ~18 Thigh: ~ 14.3 Front rise: ~14 Knee: ~ 10.8 Hem: ~ 10.3 Inseam ~34.5 Hip 23.5 Lot 161 size 36 after one wash Waist laid flat: ~18 Thigh: ~ 14.5 Front rise: ~14.5 Knee: ~ 10.7 Hem: ~ 10.4 Inseam ~34.5 Hip 21.5 Currently waiting on the 162's. The measurements above do seem a little different to what's been shared in relation to the cuts throughout the thread though they may have changed their cuts slightly? Anyone had a pair recently?

Theres some method to the madness albeit not willing to put 300 odd dollars on it. I've been emailing timeworn re the Atlas cuts and got the following measurements back: Lot 147 size 36 after one wash Waist laid flat: ~18 Thigh: ~ 14.3 Front rise: ~14 Knee: ~ 10.8 Hem: ~ 10.3 Inseam ~34.5 Hip 23.5 Lot 161 size 36 after one wash Waist laid flat: ~18 Thigh: ~ 14.5 Front rise: ~14.5 Knee: ~ 10.7 Hem: ~ 10.4 Inseam ~34.5 Hip 21.5 Now waiting on the 162 measurements before proceeding. -
SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)

Ha! I'm assuming, high-rise-denim-naively, that I'll wear the rise in roughly the same place as where I wore my medium rise denim. Therefore gaining length on the inseam from the bottom part of where the rise would be This, as I think about it now, is probably a load of crap I tried to convince myself with to have this problem solved. I abandoned the idea unless I can find somewhere to try them on and get a real feel for what I'm working with. @Maynard Friedman thanks for the suggestion but the rise looks too small -

I just had another look at the Momotaro M400STIB4S, I may have ruled them out prematurely https://momotaro-jeans.com/m400stib4s-400-standard-wide-14-7oz-button-fly.html The 34's have a ~14.61 thigh and a 33.98 inseam. My last pair of Sams were tapered to a 34.75 inseam with a 12.25 rise. I'm right in thinking that's the same length, right? (or is there a catch to this simple logic?) The description says "TOKUNO BLUE' fabric... designed for enjoyment in its rigid (unwashed) state." and "By applying a process that minimizes shrinkage after washing to the utmost extent, reduce the drawbacks of rigid (unwashed) fabrics and alleviate concerns about size selection. #400 is the most relaxed, wide-fitting model." So although they're unwashed it sounds like they're good to go from day one without a wash to shrink to size and I can expect minimal shrinkage down the line. Hmmm. What do you people reckon to that? I'm not that familiar with Momotaro but a quick glance suggests this a new cut and new material as part of a rebrand which also includes no stripes on the pocket (which I prefer) Looks like they're only available through the Momotaro site for now -

I'm not familiar. Interesting. The denim looks great. Plus, love the idea of picking something up from such a small brand/absolute artisan. So you're saying there are two options? One: semi-custom (I can send over some measurements to alter his existing pattern). Two: he offers a western cut OTR? Is the best insta handle to ask him if he's taking orders this one? https://www.instagram.com/librapondus/?locale=undefined&hl=am-et @Broark roger that. I'll drop him a line to confirm and report back. Huge thank you to everyone for the suggestions. I'll update with my next moves. -
SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)

Hey, TLDR: I have a big thigh to waist ratio and I'm struggling to find a good pair of denim. Backstory: I had a lovely pair of Oni's from son of stag a few years ago. I can't remember the model. They were a straight fit, probably heavier than 15oz. Fit like a glove at the start. Fast forward a year of heavy exercise (and little use because of covid) and the crotch and thigh got noticeably tight. Shortly after that I moved them on. Oddly, in retrospect, I didn't pick up or try on a pair of denim again for quite a while (I adopted a heavy covid fleece driven wardrobe). Present dilemma: I have big thighs and an athletic build with a waist of around 35. If the denim fits in the waist it's usually too small in the thigh. If the thigh fits they're usually too big in the waist. If, on the odd occasion, I do find a pair with promising measurements (like full count 0105 or Momotaro M400STIB4S) then the inseam is too small (I'm 6'4). Ideal fitting pair of denim (give or take here or there - measurements in the style of the iron heart method): Waist laid flat: ~17.5/18 Thigh: ~ 14.5 Front rise: ~13 Knee: ~ 11 Hem: ~ 9.5 Inseam ~35 I've tried to no avail: Samurai S3000 (too small in the thigh) Samurai S2000 Iron heart 888 (too slim a fit) Sugar Cane 1947 (36's too small, 38's are huge) Full count 0105 (34 inseam is too small) 3Sixteen RS100 (maybe give them a go but a little tight in the crotch/thigh) Considered: TCB's (rise looks too small) Naked and Famous (not a fan of the denim) Levis shrink to fit Warehouses (all look too small) Samurai S2000 (bigger rise than the S3000) Atlast & co (not easy to get hold of) Tender (store is closed for now) Oni (small rise and thigh) Anyone been in a similar situation and can advise, please? Better yet can anyone impart a gem my way? It would, honestly, be greatly appreciated. I've been looking for a good fitting pair of denim and have bought and sold the wrong pairs now for the best part of a year.
