Probably. In that case you should at least feel very good about the gains!
about the shrinkage, was just wondering if the length changes much with frequent washing and drying. Or if it stops after the first one or two.
I give raws two warm washes and dryer runs and then just wash cold from there. Haven’t noticed dramatic changes.
8:54 the guy says he has customers buying 51s a size bigger because they have a lower rise. 1947 are comfortably loose in 36 on me. 601rb are a good fit in 36. I would pick 37 inch if they had it but they don’t. Got my 51s in 38 instead. Definitely too big in the waist but very comfortable. 601rb or 51 will fit you in your usual size but it’s just a tighter cut with a lower rise.
I asked at Desolation Row a few times and they are saying nothing planned but they’ve been wanting to do a rerun in a different color flannel. The factory they order the fabric from apparently shuts those requests down most of the times. The specs they are asking for makes it difficult…
506xx 1946-47 would be the match for s601xx 1947?
The 51 and WWII models have matching buttons on pants and jackets.
I just noticed that the 47 buttons don't match.
does the dye cast match?
