That’s a lot of choices! I’m thinking 611 in size 33 for me, with a desired end length of 30. But I’ve got to pore over the measurements/models to be sure. Thanks for doing this.

Anyone care to elaborate on what happened over there? I was never much on it/only lurked.

S hooks for everything I’m at least currently kinda sorta using, active pair thrown on the ottoman next to my bed, the rest in bin in storage.

Feeling uncomfortable for the photo is the only proper way to feel I think. Or at least I haven’t figured out how to kick that either.

ok, mind changed, deposit sent. Still not sure if I'm going 50's or 30's but I'll sort it eventually. Leaning 30's - I've got no indigo 30's (I do have TCB Black), and am feeling cinch + oversized. Will probably outsource the final call to my wife.

Before I came to the personal conclusion that I’d prefer Freewheelers in this realm (not to knock on WH, as I said it was just a personal thing), I tried to understand this. Then I gave up. I did preorder one WH thing this year because it was pretty unique - but it was a one off jacket and I just went by measurements and product description, which is what I’d do if I ever bought their jeans again because I’m not sure if WH even knows their labeling system at this point.

Congrats @beautiful_FrEaK !! Looking forward to your fades from daily washing. Don't fight it.

Gonna bow out on this one y’all, consider a spot opened if someone else wants to jump in.

That’s great and all but I mean that it looks like actually physically miserable. The struggle of the cigarette and the too small tub and all of it like it’s a real strain this dude is going through. It’s not a judgment on his character.

Wow! This is simultaneously one of the most amusing and most miserable things I’ve ever seen.

Jackman makes great knits. Also, given how long the sleeves are on my Ues jacket, I would look at their thermals also. Both are priced pretty similarly, and not at IH levels.

Could well be the case. Still might be worth an inquiry, if WOM is even curious that is. American brands price in a different world and I wouldn't be surprised if their asking prices are from labor costs / market strategy as opposed to materials. I could be wrong though.

Since you’re discussing a possible denim I wonder if an order from proximity is feasible. Made with the looms from White Oak.

I'd be interested, but would need to know more to commit. (I'm not joking about the pizza inspired arcs) Honestly though, like Julian, the biggest thing for me - after a good set of measurements - would probably come down to price. I rarely am willing to spend more than $250/pair and my closet now is fuller than it's ever been.

WOM jeans with pizza arcs and I’m in. Not so much as a competitor but I told y’all I want those pizza arcs. Minority here but I’d probably prefer a 50’s cut.

The attempt to make a bunch of arcane hobbies into a competition is sort of a social pathology to me. That includes my original arcane hobby - skateboarding. I don't think it very different with denim. Doesn't mean I don't understand getting sucked up in the appeal, but I have enough motivation to not want to be that guy that I've never had the chance to become disillusioned.

Focusing is finicky sticking the CFV digital backs on a 500 c/m - the split level finder he's used to isn't going to be nearly as solid as using the screen/magnification. I'm surprised he didn't check in image review, too easy not to on that! That pair looks fully loved and lived in though!

^ yea, I actually find the long fit of it quite useful, esp since I am not a fan of tucking in shirts. I could nitpick about the quality - the panels have some a few skips/runs in the linen denim actually as one might find in some seconds quality, but for being yet another denim(ish) jacket it’s a unique spot in the wardrobe and just really comfortable. Curiously, the jacket seems a shade lighter than the jeans which do not have any skips that I’ve noticed, so I wonder if it was a different batch. Even with the flaws in the denim I’m overall quite pleased with it. I’ve never found unlined denim jackets the most comfortable with short sleeves, and this one changes that. Sort of feels more like a light flannel shirt or something. I’m curious to see how it fades and if I fade the jeans or the jacket more. I’m not sure how much wear either will get after a month or so from now, but both are the best summer pieces I’ve found.

If a picture could embody much of what I personally don’t find appealing about denim community/culture - explicitly and implicitly - this is one of them. Perhaps it’s the case here, but the only way I would/have worn a fit like that is if I were riding a motorcycle (long since sold), and even then I’m wearing leather up top, not denim. I get that some people love it - more power to them.

Pizza shaped arcs would be simultaneously silly and also might be a tipping point for me, because in the end, pants are funny. Even funnier is an interest in pants. Sometimes I wish my exquisitely made pants with such serious work put into them were a little bit more funny. Pizza and pants. Funny words. Amazing inventions. Taken for granted too often. Pants should nod to pizza. and yea @beautiful_FrEaK I think we talk about Japan b/c there's enough in Japan to sustain these businesses but outside of it we're just about the only ones in the world with the level of interest jeans where we are upset if thread isn't cotton or a jacket has handwarmer pockets or pick whatever counterintuitive detail you prefer 😃

That's so cool! And what a killer looking fam.

Thanks for this. The pizza tab! I don’t equate Japan with being a mecca in anything other than obsessing over details that I personally enjoy. When it comes to construction itself I don’t think they’re inherently better, I’ll confidently say that some of my earlier jeans from Raleigh (nc, usa workshop) and Companion (Barcelona workshop) were made every bit as well as just about anything I’ve ever gotten from Japan and in some cases notably better. I moved away from those brands because of things like pattern, details (including no cotton thread), lack of unsanforized options, and cost. Japanese brands tend to solve all of those issues. WOM seems to solve most of those issues, which is cool to see. If an American brand offered an unsanforized denim from proximity or Vidalia mills with a good pattern and cotton thread and classic details at something like a comparable cost (maybe I’d pay 10 to 20% more?) to Japan I’d love to try, for instance. But I haven’t seen it.

I don't have my pair handy but I've got this pair in a size 30, and I tend to wear 30. If anything, it's got a little give. If you normally wear 31's, I bet it will be fine - there's a chance FC missed on this pair though. In my experience they're not the most consistent in manufacturing (for instance, I have 0105 in the 11 oz denim in size 29 which fits a touch more loosely at the waist than my 30's in the 13 oz denim).
