Me too...

Do we have to upgrade to Supermember?

Haha! Industrial cleaning...

Haha! Guilty as charged. I talked about dry cleaning the WOMs at one point but never followed through...

That's some next level wear. tear, and repair!

@julian-wolf Hmm. Hard to know how a hand wash would affect it. When I used to haunt vintage and thrift stores I could always spot (vintage) Pendletons that had been washed by how oddly short they were. What I mean is that they'd shrunk mostly in length rather than width. I'd be afraid of that happening with your shirt. I get a fair amount of dry cleaning done and some of my vintage shirts - flannels, gabardines, and Hawaiians go that route. You may want to reconsider that option.

Yeah! That's a great shirt. They've done a few with those 'baggy' pockets. It's a different kind of look and I like it.

Very cool! Did you leave it raw wood? Oil-rubbed?

So is the last pair, the ones with the camo pocket bags RMC?

Kromer / John Gluckow / WOM / Adidas

Yeah. I got a nice bill from UPS today for a Zenmarket parcel this morning. Price of goods = $281.54 Fees = $44.40 (Which I assume is 15%) Plus (and this is the part that pisses me off) = $14 'UPS Brokerage and partner Government Agency fee. Since the tariffs took effect I wasn't planning to buy anything else from Zenmarket but I couldn't turn down a pair of vintage SugarCanes in my size. (The $281 also includes a pair of Buzz chinos).

I was seriously tempted by those. Had they done them with a 1930s/40s chisel toe I'd probably have jumped.

I wish I knew! That crease pattern set in very quickly and I have no idea why the one leg got more of them. It can't be due to leg twist because they've never been in water.

Don't think I'd heard of them before. They have some cool stuff.

Here's an update on my pair. They're still getting regular wear but not so much around the house as I tend to wear sweats when the weather gets colder. Sunny afternoon pics on the bright side so I'm adding some photos taken inside this evening.

I think I just saw a military green version by Buzz in a recent Zenmarket search. Might have been a different model though. Edit - I just checked. It's their original spec chino.

I was at an event called West Coast Ragtime Festival this weekend. I think it's been about 25 years I've been on their bill of performers, most of whom are pianists. These range from youth performers to players in their 80s. I don't know if any of our British members would remember Neville Dickey who did some playing for the BBC and could be heard frequently on the radio when I was a kid. I thought he was 85 but someone told me 88. He's still an amazing player and I'm lucky enough to get to play duets with him. It's a dress-up kind of scene and some folks wear full-on Victorian through Edwardian attire. Here's something I put together. I was on the fence about adding the hat but I did end up wearing it. Vintage Royal Stetson, MF cravat, Lofgren shirt, FW jacket, AtLast pants, Paraboot.

I think the various fabrics they use have different characteristics. I have a two tone sweat that is not very stretchy, and a solid color version that has much more give.

I've had the freedom sleeve versions (from Takeoff) and have not noticed any shrinkage with cold, gentle wash, line dry.

I already bought the other pair that Double O had posted (Thanks Double O!). Those seemed a bargain at that price. Think I'll leave it at that...

Thanks for clarifying. I didn't recall ever seeing them. I'll dig back and see if i can find your pictures.

What's the story with this pair? https://zenmarket.jp/mercariproduct.aspx?itemCode=m30100946325
