@lefty Those are nice, but yes would definitely need to sell an organ for them! Tempo brings a nice variety of brands that you usually don't see much of in the States. There's a brand that they carry called Three Kingdom Overalls that have some interesting details. Haven't seen much about them anywhere else though.

@shredwin_206  Hey I have both Boston and the Arizona's and both provide great support for my feet. They also have the soft or hard footbed options, which offers more variety for you. The only other shoe I can think of would be Tevas/Choccos, although I am unsure if they provide as much support as the Birks. 

I got the Edo Ai's as well in size 34, here are the measurements that I got from Naoki in Pants Shop Avenue

OW: 

The waist is 86cm, front rise is 31cm, top thigh is 32cm and leg opening is 20cm ,inseam is 79cm.

Raw:

The waist is 90cm, front rise is 33cm, top thigh is 33cm and leg opening is 20.5cm.

I would say the thigh is pretty accurate and would consider these to be probably my slimmest SC pair (Have Okinawa's and the 2014 jeans) although it isn't a skinny jean forsure. 

DHL has been really quick with Overseas orders, usually taking about 2 days to arrive from Japan (To California). I'm not sure what TCB will use as EMS is their usual shipping option and it doesn't seem like they are back on regular shipping times right now. 

@JohnM  ahh completely understandable. I’ll shoot Canoe Club for measurements to see if it’s changed a bit. Unfortunately, Butterscotch in Long Beach was the only place near me with the shirt, but has since been sold out. Hope the sizing goes in my favor  

@JohnM Hey Thanks for measurements! Was about to go for the 5 as some places have the 4 listed as a 42" but those measurements are exactly what I go for for a roomy fit.

@Geeman Ahh, was looking to not having to tuck so that removes RMC out. As for the Fullcount, yeah it does seem like a different fabric, Fullcount description just says its their original fabric. I'll give Momotaro a look. Probably leaning towards OrSlow  as of now. 

Thanks guys

@JohnM Yeah, the color and fabric on that looks great. Was wondering, what chest measurement do you usually go for? I try to get 44" usually as I prefer a boxier fit, and it usually saves me from regret after a wash. Going by chest measurement alone I'd be going for a 5, and the length doesn't seem too bad. 

Been looking for a Chambray  Workshirt, currently in between the following 3 :

Real McCoy

Fullcount

OrSlow

Have dealt with all these brands and everything is superb. The Fullcount seems like a different shade of blue? But it could just be the Fullcount picture.  I'm a bit color deficient so cannot be too sure. 

Opinions are appreciated  

Didn’t even get the chance to look at the 34’s. Had a dentist appointment at 9, so I missed out.  

Snapped a picture of my Hamilton, which I wear pretty much every day. The main reason for that is the strap. I absolutely love it. Managed to get it from Standard and Strange, but wish they had a bigger size for my Tudor.
 

I have a few Samurai Loopwheel tees that I find pretty nice, although I have to go up to XXL for a boxy fit. I noticed that their Graphic Loopwheel tees have a heavier material as compared to their regular 2 pack Loopwheel tees but both are nice nonetheless. Not sure if they sell plain white tees in that heavier weight though. So far my best fitting tee has probably been from The Real McCoy’s however I do not believe they are Loopwheel. 

@Broark Ahhh darn, I'll add myself to the waitlist and see if they do another run. In any case, i'll try grabbing one of the Ash colored Tees. 

@Broark  I see, that seems perfect as the what I prefer as well. Shirt looks great, I wonder if they will restock on these when the shop in LA opens up again.

How do you like the fit @Broark ? I regret not getting the indigo heavy weight tee in an XL as they shrink up a good bit, even when using a cold wash and hang dry. 

Appreciate it @Duke Mantee !! 

Hey guys, I’ve been really interested in a pair of 601xx 1951’s but have been unsure about sizing. Do you guys find freewheelers to be True to size? I need about a 34.5” waist however, all the measurements on Rakuten seem to vary from 33.5” to 35” for the waist. I’m leaning toward a 36 to be safe. Thanks! 

Decided to post my first big purchase for a watch: Tudor Black Bay. Initially I was aiming to get a Speedmaster but something about the Black Bay just caught my eye. I’ve had this watch for about 4 months but don’t really wear it much as there aren’t many places to wear it to. Looking to get a nice leather strap for it so recommendations would be greatly appreciated . My next watch would probably be a Grand Seiko or a Seamaster, but that will most likely be later down the line. 

@chambo2008 I was using their main site. Seems like their the shops that carry them like GodSpeed are out of stock. Definitely looks like some neat denim 

@chambo2008 Yeah, originally I had a 34 at checkout but got an email stating that the inventory was incorrect. I’m not really in too much of a rush since I’ll be doing the TCB contest soon, but red cloud has been rather quiet on social media so I’m worried they might not be producing much anymore. 

@BionicEye Ahh, Guess I cannot do a 33 then. I wear about a 34 in TCB and 34-35 in Samurai depending on the cut.  Dreams cut short 

@BionicEye Damn those are awesome. Now I'm wondering if I could pull a 33

@Collin Hey man, thanks for the suggestion. Gave my 1101 and my 900 a warm wash and a 30 minute cycle in the drier, and they fight perfectly now. Brought my 900 from a an 18" waist to a bout a 17.25".  

I’m in it to win it  Hopefully I can provide competition to you guys. I can from /r/rawdenim but can honestly say I enjoy the variety of denim here, although it’s a bit dangerous for my wallet. 
 

I had asked Ryo about sizing, and he said that the contest denim stretches more than the 50’s. Accounting for that I asked if I can switch my order to a 34 instead of a 36, as I’m worried that the 36 will get too big for me. I’m also planning on losing this quarantine weight, which will make the 34 much better for me.
