Thanks @srudy ! It seems like everybody's really doing their best, so I try to do my best as well. There's still plenty of time left but I think it's going to be a rough competition!

Came back after some absence to find this thread on the second page, so I guess an update is in order

If you know which waist measurements works for you, hit Ryo up on Instagram or by email. He was kind enough to measure by hand every piece I bought from TCB since he started working there. Very nice guy.

^definitely on the book thread thing.

^i totally agree. Sometimes the only way to get something you want just right is to go custom.

Nice!! Beautiful jacket! Bens work is awesome.

^couldn't agree more. wedge soles are awful for working shoes. Or like even if you walk a lot with them. need a resole every other season.

I read they run big when ordered them and had to sell because they were too small. for me the correct size was the same size as my size with Converse chucks and Vans eras. weirdly enough when I ordered another pair I felt the first one was so small(they were 42)and I got a 44. which is half a size too big. But still a lot better than 1.5 size too small! haha. Just make sure you can do returns and your good to go. Novesta don't ship directly to Israel so I orderd mine from a store in London and the return fees were so high I was better off just selling them(which took forever and went for like 50% of the original price so I wouldn't recommend it).

I thought I’d post an update. Just finished drying in the sun after the monthly machine wash.

They are beautiful! I feel exactly the same as @beautiful_FrEaK with regards to sizing. Especially as they have a no return/exchange policy for international orders. I’ve been eyeing one of their leather jackets as well. When I’ll travel to Japan MOTO will be the first(and possibly last, since I’ll probably end up spending all my money there)store I’m planning to visit.

Selling a pair of Buzz Rickson’s Chinos in khaki size 33. Professionally hemmed to 30”. I can’t remember if they are the 1945 or Original Specs because I have both, but either way they are the wider version. reason for sale is that they are too big for me now sadly They are lightly worn and have a some small barely noticeable marks. Overall they are 8.5/10 condition - wise. looking for 100$ obo. Shipping will be about 20$ worldwide. feel free to make an offer! Edit: be aware that they can be worn vertically even though the pictures I posted are insisting on stay horizontal.

Joining in on the brogues run that’s going on on this page. Cheaney’s Arthur III came in the mail today(in the correct size finally).

I’m very surprised about the combs development on these jeans. For such a relatively wide cut they’re developing very nice. My 20s never had any combs even after 2 years of wear.

In general - yes they stretch and yes they shrink as well in the washing machine. I only have Merz loopwheeled shirts though. one other thing - 3 cm in shoulders isn’t as bad but 4 cm in the chest(which comes up as 8 cm when doubling)is practically a whole size down.
