Maybe it’s to indicate that wearer would relax while wearing rather than the pants themselves being relaxed 😅. Perhaps even relax(!) fit. joking aside - as a non - English speaker, I didn’t even notice the change until you mentioned it. Maybe it’s because the leading terminology for our niche comes from Japan, very much like the term ‘one wash’ is used a lot while obviously not the correct grammatical way.

Well, there’s was really no way for you to know. Turns out I had a conversation about it on the ‘vintage repro’ thread and not here 😅

Talking about films to watch for denim purposes - I think a lot of folks here would enjoy the outfits on Train Dreams. Regardless of denim it’s an amazing film imo, but what drew me in initially was the beautifully worn wabash chore. trailer-

I don’t really have a problem with the sleeves at all. The initial purpose of purchasing was to buy a cheap old type iii and make a vest out of it. I bought this for ~40$ on mericari. Didn’t expect much it 😅. I guess I need to go back and look for a denim vest…

So, black chinos? buzz ricksons Nuu (similar - not exact https://nuu-4862.stores.jp/items/68c385813ee3fd1426ea06f7 )

The type 3 came. Much better than I anticipated. Great fabric and great fit. First thought was to cut off sleeves and make a vest, but not sure about that now.

Were they a thing?

I had 2 pairs from him over the years. Both miner fit (I think they fit a bit like a 50s cut in real life). One in duck canvas(chino design) and another in cone denim (indigo, even though I ordered black, 5 pocket design). The quality was pretty decent (aside from the button the fell off a week after I started wearing the jeans), but the finishing details on the jeans are not really to my liking. the customer service was awful. Time frames where tripled than stated before purchase and the guy would just ghost my emails for months until I email a PayPal dispute in which case I would get an email after 24 hours or so that my order was sent. the packaging was nice though, with flashers and instructions on how to wash (opposite from the SC booklet you posted. Don’t let water touch it for so and so months etc).

Actually did south to north. Started in Christchurch and worked my way all the way down south to invercargill etc. , and then started north again. Finished in cape reinga and then spent a week in Auckland to sell my car and flew to Nepal.

@tg76 that’s beautiful. I visited NZ from September 2013 to January 2014 and there hasn’t been a day since I left that I didn’t wish I was there again. On another note - quick coffee bean run on the bicycle. Gotta love the practicality of the Tabby jacket (and chore jackets in general)

That’s a Pretty price for a “mysterious” jacket

My personal preference these days is either no cuff or very small cuff. I do however care a lot about good roping so when possible I get the jeans hemmed by the brand. I sometimes prefer to leave the jeans longer and double cuff if it means losing the factory chain stitch (especially for brands like tcb, FW, etc where the roping is just *chef’s kiss*

@CSL Shhhhhhh…I’m hunting wabbits just joking. It’s a great look! Barbour/Columbiaknit/pigeontree/TCB/LL bean

Got this one for next to nothing on mericari with the thought of cutting off the sleeves and make a vest out of it when it gets here. Anyone knows what era this label is from? 00? 90s? Later?

Jimmy page wearing what looks like Levi’s with suspender buttons? From the recent zeppelin documentary on Netflix. no idea why the pics are upside down. Sorry about that.

I agree, but between you and I (and everybody else on the internet 😏) G&F are about a million miles behind TMC on that matter.

I may have been unclear - they probably did. What I tried to say is - since this whole niche is built on copying older garments, there really no point in accusing a brand of copying another one’s garments. Much like how every now and than a brand accuses another brands of copying their copied Levi’s arcs in the same way… However, I do think G&F are trying to create a very similar brand concept to timeworn. This is something I personally find more “morally” wrong in the context of copying within this clothing niche.

I think generally people enjoy timeworn as a complete aesthetic rather than the singular item of clothing here and there. This is probably why every now and again folks switch up their entire wardrobe to timeworn clothing. This is probably because timeworn create a full look (which is harder to achieve without buying all timeworn). Most other brands don’t do it so well ( creating the “must-have-to-achieve-the-look” feeling, I mean). If I can pinpoint anything in which G&F are coping timeworn it would be that thing. Accusing brands of coping other brands in the actual articles of clothing in this particular niche is of course, as you imply, ridiculous (in my opinion).

For the top block of 30s to be like this I’d have to size around 3 sizes up and then take in the waist accordingly.

Baggy 50s are here. The waist is a tiny bit larger than I expected, but I guess time and washes will sort it out. Otherwise I think it’s a great cut that strikes the perfect balance between rise and width for my personal body type.

100% agree

TBH I’d be extremely disappointed if the top block will be fitted (and most likely return/sell). So let’s hope it’s not 😅 I’ll share some fit pics when I get them probably next week How they should look on western body type for reference: https://secondsunrise.se/products/tcb-jeans-baggy-50s-fit-one-wash

As the saying goes, thick thighs save lives.

TBH I asked Ryo to confirm which size is needed for the waist measurement I want. I’ve been buying from tcb for around 8 years I think, the size charts almost always disappoint but Ryo never does 😅 edit side note: my regular tcb jeans size is 33 (83 cm laid flat) but here he recommended size 36

I urge you to post some details of that guitar (Gibson explorer perhaps?) on the nice things thread.
