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.

The Rockets tab is Venus which also puzzled me due to its similarity to Genus and its non-sequitur to the brand. I wonder if it’s for a similar reason

Desperately hoping denim jacket appropriate weather will return soon I’m tired of sweating in my office Ebbets Field/J Press/Hollows/Sugar Cane M41001/Tony Lama Gold Labels

I thought about picking up a pair out of curiosity since they are one of the rare niche options that have a long enough inseam for me. However, size 31 sold out very quickly, so I'm hoping for someone else to be the guinea pig

I noticed that Earthmarket carries a few Flat Head pairs. I linked the 3009 pair below, but I'm not sure if your size is in stock. You should be able to find some on Rakuten if you search through FromJapan or some other proxy. Earthmarket also seem to carry the 3002 and 8004 models.

@MJF9@Thanks_M8@vIGGiou riou Thank you! I made it through another year without too many more grey hairs and aches.

Another trip around the sun this weekend. We had a one day reprieve from the heat so I took advantage. It’s mostly been too hot recently to wear pants or denim unless I absolutely have to do so at work Ebbets field/Whitesville/Rockets/Red Wing

Did anyone here end up with any of these? Bidding seemed pretty active. I was in on the w32 pair before losing out in the last 10 minutes

Thanks! That is helpful and makes sense. The Kyoto denim is indeed a rather light blue. I was surprised when it arrived last year, but I like it a lot.
-
Thanks! Is it the same denim found on the Kyoto and Tokyo pairs?
-
It’s been too hot to wear denim the last couple weeks except when I must wear long pants to lab. So I’m compensating with madras to avoid sweating too profusely at work Ebbets Field/Brooks Brothers/Sugar Cane M41001/Tony Lama J Press/Denime Kyoto/Rancourt

@beautiful_FrEaK those Shins era 66 pairs have a listed length of 96.5 cm in the rigid state. From your experience, is that likely the inseam or do you think that the seller measured the outseam? Do those pairs use XX denim?
-
This is veering pretty far off the Sugar Cane topic, but you might find this article interesting. It wouldn't hurt to contact Original Madras Trading Company for a length of their cloth. They are probably the source for most of the fabrics in your links. @indigoeagle O'Connell's is one of the last remaining major independent shops for American trad clothing. Their knitwear is great, especially their Shetlands which I believe are made by Laurence Odie and are really heavy and full of lanolin scent. I would have some myself but I've struggled to get the sleeve length that I need in a reasonable chest size so the ones that I own are from elsewhere

Denim Blunders, Reflections and General Nonsense.
yung_flynn replied to cmboland's topic in superdenim
I've heard of people using Forward2me rather easily and successfully for the reverse journey of UK to US. I have no personal experience with them though. International Parcel Forwarding Service 📦 | forward2me I can help proxy too if needed or if the fees above are extortionate. I'm in the sticks of the US though and somewhat far from a major shipping hub so it might be a large time or money saving at that point -
Denim Blunders, Reflections and General Nonsense.
yung_flynn replied to cmboland's topic in superdenim
You might be better off checking John Simons at that point or even Drake's at the UK pricing. My understanding is that all of them source fabrics from the same mills so there is a lot of overlap, especially between the Press and Drakes offerings this year. Unfortunately, I don't think that they have anything that quite matches that olive/red color -
My pair is almost ready for another wash so I thought that I would snap some photos beforehand. They’re slower faders than Warehouse but not impossibly slow in my opinion. Some heavy creases and highlights are popping in on the lap. It’s pretty easy to see how these get such pronounced whiskers. The raised back pocket rivets are also doing a number on the pocket corners. I would be shocked if these don’t pop through eventually. Knees are also showing some highlights

My Duck Digger 1947s in Banner Denim got another wash. They rarely get worn at this point as they were originally a little short and are now incredibly short on me. The crotch seam has seen better days too after I repaired nearly the entire length after it had the unfortunate timing of popping open in the Amsterdam airport. Now they’re just relegated for grilling and dirty tasks. I can’t make myself get rid of them though since they were the jeans that I wore for the birth of our son and were my workhorses for the first few months of his life. They’ve gotten many washes do to the usual newborn accidents so whiskering is not as pronounced on some Banner Denim pairs.
-
Here are some shots of my pair of 50s right out of the wash. I’ve had them close to 2 years now with lots of washing. Seam puckering, crinkling, and roping are great.
