@maharu post above reminded me that i had some pics I never posted of the sj42cp with a few washes, mostly worn in casual office during 2 winters. pulling them back out of the closet now for winter #3. some of the stain from a leather belt rubbed off a fair amount on belt loop areas and there is some visible marbling/crease from wash/dry. i really like the construction/hardware details on these. i don't have pics but they have silver selvedge. lockstitch 1 inch'ish trouser hem type of thing going on.

Hmmm i tried on and purchased the sj42cp in-store. I was just checking out a denim shop on vacation and thought the chinos were so cool. I wear them in casual office situations and never thought much about the rise on my size 36. Sometimes tucked shirt with belt, sometimes not. I don't think they stretched out a ton. I got some pretty intense marbling/crease fade on my first wash. So if you get them and care about that, maybe be a little careful with the wash. I would also say that my hems are wearing down faster than most pants. It think because of the slubbiness of the fabric. I just googled and there is a really thorough review of them here: https://indigoshrimp.wordpress.com/2017/08/26/samurai-jeans-sj42cp-heavy-chino-pants-review/

@Ar_thor I have a short sleeve button down shirt and a coach's jacket from orslow, both in size 4 that are great fit for me. 18.5 or 19" shoulder and 22.5 or 23" chest on the shirt. I'm 6'2 with a 41.5" chest I'm typically an XL in japanese sizing

my s0110xj, about 2 winters of wear. you can see better on @brownmetallic pair above, but I really like how the curve cut back pocket lining starts to wear parallel to the lazy s arc thing

@julian-wolf I've spent a fair amount of time out there. It's just a mercantile and bakery. Basically feeds visitors and park employees who are headed to Bowman or Kintla lake. So stop in if you are headed into those spots. I did probably my favorite backpacking going from "The loop" off the going-to-the-sun road and hiking out of Kintla. Some totally spectacular campsites and hiking. Particularly around the "Hole-in-the-wall" campsite/area. Some of the employees live right there in polebridge or next to the mercantile...i think the owners live there or something. I went to the "Polebridge Formal" with some of the park employees at the end of the season. Drank a lot and camped, good times.

@TheNorthern BlackBlue in minneapolis/st.paul just started carrying them. not sure when/if they'll post on webstore, but most of their in store stuff makes it online after a few weeks. or if you happen to be traveling in the area, their stores are great https://www.instagram.com/p/B7ojKjgnjj_/
