Didn’t know that… thought they were meant to be worn as a set. I’m liking the 47 cut a lot more. Not sure if it’s the one I tried on, but the 51 jeans feel a lot slimmer than 601rb which are supposed to be the same cut. I can’t tell the difference between colors. They look exactly the same to me.
-
Right. That makes sense!
-
So 47 and 51 are same fabric, but different cut and color. According to the stores in Japan 47 is FW’s (Daihyo) 代表 Or “representative” model. But it doesn’t have a jacket to go with?
-
That’s a good comparison. That ww2 fabric looks really good!
-
That’s how I felt about my 46 and upsized to 48. Much happier. It’s a bit baggy over t-Shirt but perfect over a flannel or a sweater.
-
Looks good to me. Different size from previous jackets?
-
They looks slimmer than the FW 47
-
Let me know how that goes for you. I’ll leave it to the pros.
-
Those 51s look great! I’m in between 51 and 47 for my next pair. I think it’s the same fabric.

Same here.

If you’re looking to win I think you’ll need 18oz and up. Something fast fading Like Oni, PBJ or samurai. Or live in tropical climate and push them thru the summer. the judges seem to like heavy ounce entries a lot. Lots of the podium pairs also looked too “good” to be true. Number 2 last year is a Japanese YouTuber kinda notorious for pushing a little extra hard for fades. In other words, I wouldn’t join to win. Very unlikely given how much it grew too.

Looks like some nice vintage/repro pairs this year. Most of what i saw in that competition until now was ultra heavy and hyper tapered stuff. Good to see some other entires this year.
-
I assume that would be a Freewheelers pair

Here are mine with some wear.

The WW2 models have the same out seam but different stitch length and threads. But one is single stitch and one is chain. I love that the right back pocket is offset, that both left and right are right back pockets and the left folded butt seam.

FW non-wash jacket here with T-back. soaked for 1 hour at 40-50 degrees C. Then dried on balcony hanging. washed on gentle cycle no spin at 30C and hang dried. then washed one more time at 30 and hang dried. Most shrinkage is out I think as it measures same or close to what retailers post for the washed version. Horizontal seams pucker very nicely but not the vertical ones. Does that mean there is more shrinkage to be expected still? Or will the other seams just pucker more with wear?
