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.
