For info, mine are up for sale, I ultimately came down on the fact I got the size wrong. A learning experience, if they do a re-run I may be tempted to get a size or two bigger.

Yes @willi they look awesome! Didn't need the reminder that I wanted a pair though! Still never really nailed down my ideal WW2 era pair

One for my hem roping nerds out there! Hems on the 220XX-47.

I would say that the fabric Warehouse produce now is V V susceptible to the veiny fades (I can't comment on historic fabric), but I have also noticed it promimently in my Buzz Rickson chambray shirt, I guess it's the diagonal pull you get from washing and the warp x weft working against each other (or some such scientific thing).

Very excited that those of us who do celebrate Christmas might be putting our waistbands to the test over the festive period!! 🍰

They do yes, much more of a straight down from the knee 50's kind of vibe, the waist is also larger on these. These are the raw measurements from their site: 220XX-47 W34: Waist (W) - 88cm Thigh (T) - 34cm Front rise (F) - 33.5cm Back rise (B) - 45cm Length (L) - 88cm Hem width (O) - 22.5cm 220XX-54 W34: Waist (W) - 92cm Thigh (T) - 35.5cm Front rise (F) - 33.5cm Back rise (B) - 44.5cm Length (L) - 89cm Hem width (O) - 24cm

Had a bit of a boo boo with an order direct from Warehouse. For sale: an unworn, one wash W34 L32 pair of Denime 220XX-54. I have another pair on the way (with hem done!) For sale here for £175 + shipping. (also listed on ebay)

@willi just harking back to the conversation around spectacles a few weeks ago(?) It seems Cubitts now do have a US presence: https://cubitts.com/blogs/stores/west-village -

Great stuff. Either an addition of a rubber layer on a leather sole, or a resole of a leather sole to a lugged unit. On some preowned Alden's. Locating the decent cobbler would guide as to which pair I get and consequently which job I need doing! -

Any of us in the North of the UK have any recommendations for good cobblers? The guy I usually use also works on the TV show Repair Shop and has shut up shop indefinitely to focus on similar projects. The work I am after is by no means niche or specialist, though naturally I want clean, precise, high quality work doing so my local Timpsons is out of the question! (unless of course anyone can recommend a secret Timpsons ninja who is actually really good)
