i'm in if it's a cut that isn't slim

i recently picked up a buzz rickson a-2. it’s been hard to find any info online for it, i know it’s a dubow contract model from 1944 and that it’s been discontinued. it was brand new when i received it despite it being made quite some years ago. lot’s of cool texture happening across the different panels. pictured wearing it over a t shirt with my m43036 chinos. this jacket is pretty versatile for me and can layer a sweatshirt underneath which is great.

@NilsLW the 1955z is made from a different denim from the 1953. the 1953 jacket and the 1947 jean are made from the same denim. 1955z has a slightly lighter shade of indigo and some more texture.

@Geeman in my experience with 47's i always wash in warm or hot water and then hang dry initially and will lose one inch in the inseam. beyond that i will cold wash and hang dry and the jeans will shrink just a little over time. the denim is pretty dense and typically doesn't want to stretch very easily in the waist.

i’ve been living in my encinitas for almost a month. it might be time to wash soon

lookin' good! @chicote

i'm here for this. being in that subreddit is like passing a horrible accident that you can't look away from.

here’s my vat-dyed chambray that i wear to work for pretty much every shift. i work as a barista and i’m looking forward to seeing how the bottom half of the shirt ages much more rapidly the the top half.

i picked up the encinitas last week. i fit the size 29 pretty easily, but opted to size up to 30 since i’m unfamiliar with how stevenson denim shrinks over it’s lifecycle. overall i’m really happy with the fit, and the denim itself has nice character. i’m currently moving so they’re getting the sweaty and dirty break-in treatment.
