  4. Mushroom vintage pics … twill pockets
  5. I did what I could with the remnants from the mammoth skin after I made my thong (even though the trunk was too short)
  6. It was shite - everything I owned was too loose, too tight, loo long or too short.
  7. Aye sorry Doc - sewing threads are different colours … still non-factory standard though (probably Gütermann)
  8. Absolutely bang on. They wore what they had. Too loose, too tight, loo long or too short. Overall and coverall has quite a different meaning today.
  9. You rarely see FW in magazines and mooks and they rarely give interviews. They aren’t overly secretive , it’s more they like to plough their own furrow. Anyway, there’s no reason why any brand needs to ‘justify a price tag’. That’s something we seem to concern ourselves over by looking for things to justify our purchases … details and specifications that we imagine would be expensive without knowing or thinking what actually does make a difference; although there are those that buy something simply because it is expensive. I remember being asked why the 601XX 22s were so much more expensive than the 47s … really it should be obvious. But generally a lot of this information is available if the correct questions are asked (the right level of genuine interest).
  10. @MJF9 well JPY135k for the Turn Down is about £707 and an Iron Heart pretend N1 is £705 on Rivet & Hide so …
  11. Apart from profiteering? You should have read the Denimbro exchanges when it first came out. It’s a long process on a vintage machine - I got one of the first 50 made and I think those took well over 50 days to make. It’s also a lot of expensive wool. I think it’s better value than the Ultima Thule stuff for example. For me, the real FW is when they focus on stuff that’s ’hard to make’ - the details and the materials. But I only mention the cardigan because it’s a statement piece that’s been released again and not what @AlientoyWorkmachine was thinking …
  12. Not a real fan then 🤷‍♂️ Anyways you know what you like, you know how much is in your wallet and you know Seiichiro will confirm your likes and take your cash. Looking forward to the result.
