SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
yung_flynn replied to minya's topic in superdenim
Yes I agree. I was curious how the math would compare. Japanese retailers (at least in this case) would only be 10-15% cheaper than the current listed price for a comparable product at Selfedge for example. Since I live nowhere near anyplace to try on denim, it always made sense to buy direct from Japan previously because the price delta was so high. For only a 10-15% difference, the convenience and lower risk (e.g., easy returns) of a US domestic retailer would make a lot more sense for me even if I still could not try on in-store -
SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)

I’m about to find out because my package was delayed. It looks like it’s pay at delivery at UPS. Government fees are about 25% of the item + shipping cost. There is an additional $12 broker fee too. In total, it’s quite expensive -
We took our little one to the Michigan Renaissance Faire over the holiday weekend. Both denims are really starting to crinkle even more so after the follow-up wash to get off all the dust. Ebbets/Denime/Whitesville/Rockets/Alden

I actually ended up grabbing a pair of the S2000HX. The vignette about the Slash collaboration made me curious about an Otokogi denim WW2 model and the simplified detailing and cut of the S2000HX looked pretty good (measurements seem very close to Rockets on paper). I decided that the S2000HX would be far easier to get than the Slash-Samurai collaboration and the Slash inseams that I have seen are far too short for me anyway.

The M11026 (506) version still seems to be available. I think that it's more or less the same size

Pinto Ranch has a few low-heeled roper models from Rios and Black Jack for reasonable prices. I think that they all have a leather sole though. RRL has sold white label roughout ropers from Rios as well if you can stomach the fashion tax, but I think that they also have leather soles Secondhand market for cowboy and ropers boots has quite a lot of good deals even in weird sizes like mine (13 B). There's a slight learning curve to deciphering stamps and tags though to find the good stuff.

I have some in XL. I probably could have gotten away with a large, but I'm tall and have a toddler so I need to be able to wash and dry without too much thought. They have shrunk a bit and the hem hits about halfway down my fly if even a little higher

Oh I just meant back pocket rivets that are a little more raised or three dimensional in the z-direction while the surface is still flat. Flat is probably not the right word. Admittedly, it does not come across well in a photo. I’ve just noticed that the back pocket rivets used on Rockets pairs seem a little thicker and more 3D than on a TCB pair which I like. The thicker Rockets river seems to push a little more on the pocket corner which I like. Edit: It might all be an illusion though. Any difference in thickness between those two is less than 1 mm

@MJF9 Have you put much wear into your s3100VX’s? If so how do you like them so far? I’ve been tempted by them and the s2000HX since seeing your original post but have waffled back and forth about following through. Something about the relative simplicity of those two models compared to some of their other more recent offerings caught my eye (plus not that many pairs with >34” inseam). I probably would have followed through if they didn’t seem to have flat back pocket rivets.

Some M-series jackets (Type 1 and 2) from the linen patch era if anyone can make a 51 cm chest work. Sleeves seem a little short though unless they are measuring armpit to cuff M11026 【M品番】 SUGAR CANE 【1st 大戦モデル デニムジャケット/M11026】 シュガーケーン デニム ジャケット ファースト Gジャン 25070179 item details | JDirectItems Auction | One Map by FROM JAPAN M11027 【M品番】 SUGAR CANE 【507 2nd タイプ デニムジャケット 】 シュガーケーン デニム ジャケット セカンド Gジャン 25070509 item details | JDirectItems Auction | One Map by FROM JAPAN

^ that sounds right to me. I can comfortably squeeze into a size 31 in modern 1947s and would also probably be happy in a 32. I’m happy with how my size 33 pair of M41001s fit although I probably could also make a 32 work. The size 33 oscillate between 15.5-16.5” laid flat between wash and wear. I’ve really been liking my 41001s. The denim and cut are very nice
-
They’re 41 cm laid flat and a little under 42 cm with the waistbands aligned and pulled tight. They probably would stretch a little more too if needed. Pulling out my pair reminded me how much I like them and that they’re probably due for some more wear

I have a pair of black SC 1947's in size 31 and a pair of TCB 50's in 33. The SC are slightly on the snugger side, but still plenty comfortable. The TCB 50s were a comfortable fit right out of the box. A size 32 in the 50's would have probably given a comparable initial waist fit to the size 31 SC 1947's. At the end of the day though, I probably would have been happy with either a 31 or 32 in the 1947's and either a 32 or 33 in the 50's. I think that 33 is pretty the right call for you, but it's partly a preference thing for you too. I can measure the waist of the size 33 50's when I get home if that would be helpful. They have gotten a lot of good wear, many washes, and many machine dries.

Bears still sold out very quickly for the 36 inseam fatigues.
