  1. Wow. Didn’t know he can do buttons too. Really one of the best stores ever.
  2. Just interesting that all WW2 models had 9-10 mm while others had thinner. most people don’t care. I prefer 7-8 mm and 4x fold instead of the typical 3. According to rockets up to late 40s it was 4x, then 3x
  3. Does the height of the hem stitch vary by model an year much? I noticed warehouse WW2 models have a notably higher stitch than say 1947 or 53. ww2 is 9mm whereas other are more like 7mm
  4. Some people hammer them down. You can cover with a spoon and hammer to make it more round. i like them sharp actually. but they go dull after about 9months for me. im really looking forward to my next pair in the fall. gonna go for another 1947. WW2 probably best cut for me but I like the 47, 51 etc fabric much better.
  5. 99% of the customers have no idea what anything on any of their tees means. It’s like looking at Kanji for westerners. You only see it if you understand it. To them it’s just a cool looking tee. Boone & Cremens Co
  6. I love wearing the temptations and Vegas series of tees. I don’t ride either.
  7. He wouldn’t let me take a photo without him…. Those are size 28 and they run very small. I can’t fit into their size 38 and I usually wear 36 freewheelers which are slightly loose. she kept the original hem too, which turned out really nice. we’re getting a few things fixed now over the summer. Will take more pics in two years.
  8. my wife’s Uchida Housei rainbow straights. 20 months 3 washes. lol

    Belts

    Beautiful! I love my simple combo with this buckle.
  10. OK wow. That really doesn’t look that big. im just surprised the sleeves aren’t getting way too long.
  11. Wow. 48?! Was that a typo? You wear size 40 and 48? that’s gotta be really “comfy”
  12. Looks like a great fit on that jacket. What happened between 2013-2025? what jeans are those?
  13. Thants some crazy roping on the hem! weird how some hems rope and others don’t even on Union specials.
  14. Freewheelers hat, Tee and tux. Patagonia flannel.
  15. 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.
  16. Next pair size up! I’m hitting the gym and they are getting looser. Opposite problem lol
  17. That patch didn’t last long. do they keep shrinking with so many hot washes and drying?
  18. It’s actually just the Japanese word for indigo.
  19. Thanks! Trying to decide pepper or chambray indigo.
