  1. Just saw pic in the other thread. The 51 cut would be interesting oversized
  2. 47s are a tough one to upsize. With an ultra high rise like that you get massive crotch tent.
  3. Found this patch at Desolation Row and customized an ultima thule hat.
  4. True. 42s also still have the cinch. for the other ww2 models, the only difference is the pocket bags?
  5. Freewheelers have three ww2 jeans now? -1942 -olive pockets - flannel pockets
  6. Nice. Great info.. thanks! Would like to try that too on my next pair. can you explain? what was original length pre-wash and how did you determine how much to cut? this is same denim as ww2 right ?
  7. What do you mean by inseam hemmed? did you get them hemmed before first wash?
  8. Sad. Warehouses too. Never understood why.
  9. I noticed the pocket bags on the 0105 11.5oz are very shallow. Is that the case for the standard weight (13.7oz) as well?
  10. nice pairs with the arcs. I thought you just started a 20s pair.
  11. Need these about 3cm shorter keep stepping on the heel part. 1. Cuff 3cm higher and leave the old fold line? 2. Or cut at fold line, hem and wear uncuffed?
  12. Had some repairs done on my 601RB. Love the fabric and cut. Would buy again, but still plenty of life left in these.
  13. Interesting. I saw the pictures and thought they looked really good on you.
  14. Don’t go. It’s worse than summer in Thailand. You cannot be outside during the day. At night it’ll be brutally uncomfortable and it’s not what you would expect anyways. You and 3 million others have the same idea right now. Check the tourist stats. It’s madness! You go to Shibuya or any of the known spots and it’s literally more than 50% foreigners and you can’t move on the street. Forget the trains. All trains are packed with tourists and each has three suitcases and a bunch of shopping bags. It’s beyond stupid right now. unless you go straight from the airport to Okayama. Stay away from Tokyo, osaka and any touristy spot.
  15. You should go. Yen at 154… absolutely ridiculous. I’m totally fucked by that but please enjoy. just note, that all tourist spots you’ve ever heard of are so insanely overcrowded with European and American tourists. I’m talking about 50% plus of the foot traffic is actually foreign. Probably not the Japanese experience people are looking for. But everyone has the same idea and that’s what it is. I’d stay away from that.
  16. ONI, the old Japanese denim master no one knows. He can only work in the summer months. He still manages to pump out gimmicky collabs with all the western denim stores. cuts and fabric aimed at TikTok and instagram crowd. American influencers pushing the brand. must be quite a man this old guy. Drinking from the fountain of youth while making jeans during the humid summers in Japan.
  17. What about the opposite? every denim jacket I’ve had was too long in the arms. By the time it fits me in the chest the arms are so long that my fingers barely peak out. To me it seems they are mostly cut for slim frames. Especially all Japanese brands.
