JMS

Actually, I was asking about the new MiJ type 1 and 2's that you can find listed on Hinoya's site. I would assume they are also Cone. Also, I am just going to pretend that those long type 2's don't exist

Do we have any idea of where these new MiJ jackets have their denim sourced from?

@suchislife Great find! Wow MiJ LVC jackets... Been a while!

@Pedro SC doesn't mention the down rating of that jacket (sus), but on the next page for their vests, they mention that the down rating is 700. 700, if pure and not mixed, is just ok. But I'm not talking about the quality (although for $1300 it should be a fine 900 fill), I'm talking about the documented history of the unethical Chinese down market.

I'm very happy to see that the new 55z's are under $200. Also, for $1k+ on that down jacket, the down better be sourced from somewhere other than China...

Say what you will about RMC, but some of their patterns are fantastic https://therealmccoys.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/ombre-wool-sports-jacket

@Robroy Isn't that a MiJ pair? The valencia St MiU's, for example, are pricy even when worn. Some models of unworn pairs in desired sizes are $600 USD, some models about $250-300, others more like $1000...

My favorite maker out there! Hoping to find an avenue to purchase his denim as well.

Yes, there are many different 1001's as I understand it. The self-edge ones are the standard 1001xx, simply in a one-wash version. There are also many "duck-digger" versions of the 1001, and the DSB of the 1001, and so on.

These Warehouse denim shorts are coming to the end of their second summer season, with as many washes. Needless to say, I am looking to pick up more WH denim!

Been enjoying this Orslow chambray for over two years now. The best-fitting shirt I own, and the construction details are unmatched, imo.

@Broark They kinda look like they are a smaller size maybe? All I know is, always try to buy NBs with leather heel cups, as the fabric ones always get shredded.

yes, they do. I believe they are the 55s.

@Sympathy-For-The-Denim @Maynard Friedman\ Shoot, can't find a specific model number, they just read 501XX on the back with the 'leather-like' patch. Here is a photo of the inside tag. Tag.webp
