This is such a horrible look for Left Field. Criticism is one thing, this IG post by them is another.. I don't recall the last time I saw a brand talking down to another brand publicly like this.
Agreed. Criticism is fair sometimes, but I don't think specifically telling people to buy American-made is fair. Most of the Japanese garments I own are much more well-made than the made-in-USA ones.

Howdy denim people,
Selling these (japan exclusive?) Warehouse DD 1004xx. Worn quite a few times but still a lot of life left.
Measurements:
Waist - 15"
Rise - 14.50"
hem - 30.5"
$160 shipped
Also selling my Blacksign "BS DENIM PANTS WIDE STRAIGHT - 14OZ INDIGO" denim.
Shed a lot of winter weight so they don't fit in the waist unfortunately. Had them hemmed a bit by a chainstitch machine by Blue Owl Workshop. Tub soaked and only worn twice.
Measurements:
Waist - 16"
Rise - 15"
Hem - 29.25"
$225 - SOLD

Such a good label. Too bad my ecru mechanic overalls don't fit me anymore!!

That vest is beautiful. Can't say I'd find myself wearing it too often, though. I think I'll have to pass on trying to get that!

Any result of mail order communication?
Actually haven't had the time yet. Going on a vacation so tying up some loose ends. Will try when I come back to the states, though!

Sized one size too big on these Black Sign jeans. Went for a 34 when I needed a 32. Worn once and tub washed once. Some indigo bleeding.
Hemmed to a 30" and has a 32" waist. Kind of a stretch but I'm looking to trade for a size smaller - or I'll sell and eat the cost for a size smaller.

Anyone know the best place to get their chinos? Been wanting a nice wide fit chino and I've been recommended At Last a bunch of time. Haven't found their stuff online anywhere in stock, though.

There are also other styles of pants that were made out of denim, like the Derrickman, Trackwalker, and Ironalls. They are plenty wide.
Those are great as well - was just looking for a five pocket (maybe with a buckle back) to fit the bill.

What do you mean wide fit?
Room in the thighs, high waist, little to no taper.

Buster, the new 37 601xxc feels pretty wide
Thanks - I'll look into those. Is there a recommended online store?

There is no tapered version. It's just the 1001XX. Of course the leg is tapered a bit.
I see - several websites have different photos for the 1001xx making them look tapered on some and others a wide, straight leg.

Will do! Thanks

Assuming they'll shrink around 1" in the waist, I'm looking for a size 31! These ones seem to be the tapered version?

hahah they're lovely - I went into the shop last year and was recognized immediately and met with great conversations. Left with a Warehouse & Co sweat.

Most peeps look around Soas and find what they want, get the sizing/product info they want and then shop around the web for the cheapest price.
I've only ever used them for their hemming service.
I'm ashamed to say I do exactly the same - hahah.

Thank you! I'll check those out.

Can someone help me find these jeans without the massive mark-up?
As much as I love Son of a Stag - being based in the US makes it a little more expensive than I'm willing to go for.
Thanks!

Slide the lid upwards, put the bread in, slide the lid down.
sounds a bit complicated...

Maybe a dumb question but do you actually put bread in there or is it for decoration? I've never had a bread box, but that one is beautiful!

@busterthehuman I see you’ve studied the USN Regulations a bit - well done - I think that gives the blog a bit more credibility. There’s a lot of stuff about Sperry available (many sneaker sites as well as the company’s own) but I have it in my mind there’ll be plenty of folk that probably never thought much about the CVO (the sole unit first specifically) being commissioned into USN contracts.
Arguably Sperry didn’t invent the idea for ‘siping’ but much like Edison, he was probably a better businessman than he was an inventor.
Still, it’s a shoe that has most definitely stood the test of time.
A few images of the 40s issue:
Thanks for sharing buddy! These are great photos.

Hey friends -
I just wrote a little about the history of the WW2 USN Deck Shoe and my Real McCoy's pair if you're interested!

@busterthehuman I had two pairs of the RARE R008, and I really liked everything about them, but they had some of the worst construction and QC of any jeans I’ve tried
The margins are thin, there, obviously, and overall they were plenty nice—but, given that the whole ethos of the RARE line is meant to be based around overengineering and durability, relatively simple issues seemed much less forgivable that they may have from a different brand
I get the impression that they used to be very nice. Mine were from 2017 or 2018, I think, which seems to have been pretty recently after some or other changes were made to their production
Thanks for sharing. That's interesting to hear. I jumped on a pair of the World Workers overalls in an ecru color so I'll have to wear them a bit and let everyone know how they fair. From initial impressions they seem solidly constructed and the hard wear doesn't seem cheap, either.

Even more reason to buy the Iron Heart, then. Unsure as to why they'd pick this bone in the first place knowing they'd be charging more hahah. Buying USA-made is nice, especially if you live here, to support a local artisan(s) and economy, but that isn't realistic if you're on a budget or want a specific garment.
