    yeah I like them. This is a good model for black.

    Here's a size comparison between a new black 505s in size 36, and a pretty new 50s in size 36. I wear my 50s a little larger than most western guys I think. I would describe the fit as relaxed everywhere. Waist a tiny bit bigger than my waist and no stretching. 505s are a little bit smaller in the waist. Very small stretch for me. Although the thigh is around the same as the 50s at the top they feel slimmer all over. Rock and roll fit. Other TCB sizes I wear... 40s in 34, 30s in 34, 1890s in 34 (pics in this thread), Cats Drive in 34, Tabbys Work Pant in 34. Don't try to go small on these.

    Black 505s arrived for me today. I can post pictures or comparisons if anyone is interested.

    They will stretch some with use, but then shrink back down to their current size with each wash, maybe even a little tighter. Rise will not stretch much at all.
  5. I would check out the John Gluckow sweats for this as well. They are produced by Warehouse but the top size on the JG line is at least a full size larger than the largest Warehouse branded sweat, maybe a size and a half. Also true of Dubbleworks, runs a lot larger than regular Warehouse stuff at the top end.
  6. It looks like Warehouse is producing two designs for JG for the upcoming season. Cool unique designs and the stuff under this line has been really top notch so far.
  7. I have a two pocket with an after-hood from Workers that's great. Like everything from Workers it fits very short and square, not going to fit every body type. I also admire a similar one that Warehouse produces under the John Gluckow label. I haven't seen that one in person but the JG items I've gotten a look at I'm over the moon about. It might have a pointed hood though.

    First wash of the 1890s I had some additional shrink in the waist and rise. Not huge but noticeable in the fit. Wash with care if you like your fit.
  9. Thanks very much, that's perfect. We have similar taste in shoes!
  10. By normal size, is that your brannock size, or relative to a specific last? I'm looking at the same leather.
  11. How does your russell size compare to your yuketen size? I've owned russells but my experience with their quality control and customer service has been poor enough that I wouldn't buy from them again.
  12. Can anyone share their experience with sizing yuketen's moccasin last? Yuketen and most stockists recommend taking brannock size. I have a wide food and a high instep, and I prefer a roomy toe and don't mind a little heel slip. Any advice? Save me from making a bad decision.

    36 sounds right. You could probably squeeze into a 34 but it will ride up your ass.

    I recommend going by their 'waist/around' measurements rather than 'waist/flat'. Measure your waist circumference with a flexible tape and go by that. The 50s runs smaller in the waist than their other models. My waist measured this way is ~90cm and I very comfortably wear a 50s size 36, it's a relaxed fit.
  15. agree. getting freaky in the tub with your jeans is cool. i like his huge cat. everyone do your own thing.
  16. Buzz Rickson's thermals are very good. I've cycled through a lot of BR stuff and the thermals are the item that has stuck over time. I wear 1 size smaller than my usual BR size. They are cheap (relatively) from Hinoya.

    Black 505s coming soon.
  18. A warehouse sweat probably won't blow you away right away. Modern mass produced sweatshirts from Champion and similar brands are not bad at imitating a quality feeling out of the box, compared to modern denim which doesn't feel much like real denim at all. I bought a Champion sweat last year for a football game and it feels great in the hand, not that different from a 401. The best qualities of warehouse's sweats mostly come out over time by allowing the garment to gracefully age. The sweat will hold its shape, resist pilling and tearing, the brushed interior holds its structure and continues to feel comfortable against the skin, and it will fade attractively along its seams. You have to love wearing it long enough for it to 'pay off' though. edit: I own a 403, a 450 and a 409. Agree with you that the pointy hoods on a lot of loopwheeled hoodies are unfortunate... obviously a different connotation in jp.
  19. I've added a few items here: a Buzz Rickson sweatshirt, TCB western denim shirt, Moonstar alweather sneakers, Grant Stone chelseas. Check out the Grant Stone listing if you want to see some wear on CF Stead waxy commander. I love the gentle roll of this leather and rough patina where the wax scuffs off. Think the boot looks great.

    About a month in the 1890. Cool jeans I think.

    I have 7 jackets from tcb and the measurements on the site are precise. None of my jackets vary from advertised p2p by more than a cm. I don't own a 60s but would expect the same. They do generally run smaller than equivalent tag size from Warehouse.

  23. What wrangler model is that? I like the single pocket.
  24. Listing some things on ebay. Everything is in good condition, they are for sale because I'm not satisfied with the fit or I've replaced them with other items. I think all listings have measurements. You can view everything here: https://www.ebay.com/usr/prof_wpwilber You can make me an offer by direct message here. Happy to answer any questions or just chat about my impressions of the item. I will deduct ebay's middle man fee from the price and work with you on shipping (as long as you don't make it a pain in the ass.) I ship from the USA and I don't know anything about international shipping so you have to make it dummy proof for me.
