    You're not wrong, and I know this has come up time and time again. It's inevitable that as the brand had been around for 15 years that enough of a following has been built around it, that then someone would want to develop their own brand in the same style.

    This is interesting to know. I felt like they had 100% copied Timeworn, and maybe I was being a bit polite in my last post. It's interesting to see on IG some of the people who buy, wear and share fits of Timeworn stuff also buy into G&F Co, I wonder if there is any disdain there between the brands.

    Hi mate - not personally checked out G&F co but have seen and heard good things! They've clearly heavily taken inspiration from Timeworn, allllllmost to a copying level, but they look good all the same! Particularly like the look of some of their knits and shirts: https://store.bitters.tokyo/products/g-f-co-corduroy-shirt-_-black

    @ColdsnapBryan I think you have all the info you need now - but for what it's worth, I went true to my usual UK8 / US9 and have been very satisfied with the fit. I believe all Timeworn footwear is on the narrow side, and these are no exception, so while I could have gone down 0.5, the width would have not been enough for me. In terms of jeans - I believe that on every cut the waist will be true to the tagged size, though the cuts vary elsewhere. I'm a 32 in every At Last / Butcher Products pair of jeans or trousers though the cuts vary and some just do not work for me (e.g. Lot 126), but I wouldn't stray from your known waist tag size in any of their jeans / trousers if I were you. I recently experimented with a 34 in the lot 162 and I am going to be selling them one-washed unhemmed and unworn soon because I just won't be able to make the waist work. I will be picking up the lot 306 in indigo instead when they release in January.

    Regards my UK hemming options exploration - I returned pretty swiftly to using SOAS. However, I did find out that Sonder Supplies is indeed the same location as Iron Heart UK - and they use polycotton thread for all their repairs and hemming, which is entirely unsurprising, just noting for info.
  6. Alec Leamas
    Great question - just for the sake of exploration really - lately, I've always used SOAS, but wondered whether anywhere else was as good / better
  7. Alec Leamas
    To anyone in the UK - have you ever used anyone else outside of Clutch / SOAS / Rivet and Hide for chainstitch hemming? I was considering stepping outside of the above 3 and sending jeans somewhere else - so far I've found Blackhorse Lane and Iron Heart UK both do hemming for the same price + shipping. Does anyone have any feedback on their experience with them? Or, any other ideas? EDIT: Also found Sonder Supplies - which looks like it's at the same place as Iron Heart UK - so assume same people/same machine etc

    Lot 118J size 40 Also picked up some lot 162 jeans in a 34 but was too keen and whacked them straight in the wash. They’ve been shared before by @MJF9 but I got some measurements at least before washing so I’ll do a little pre and post before they head off for hemming!

    @shredwin_206 an even happier face to have it finally working! Congrats, looks ace!!

    I would have assumed it's USPS rather than UPS, but I'm not sure - EMS uses the Universal Postal Union so most commonly uses the national postal service of whatever the destination country is
  12. Alec Leamas
    You're probably right - and of course they'll liberally apply an exchange rate. Never mind. You win some you lose some.
  13. Alec Leamas
    I recently got a similar UPS bill just with "government charges" on it against the amount, and the amount was significantly higher than I had calculated (20% of item cost + fees) - I emailed to dispute this charge but I've yet to hear anything back. I had similar thoughts, in high enough numbers, these fees would cover a good portion of profit for UPS I bet, or a bonus here and there..

    That’s cool, is it a sculpture? Do you have any more context of what era the worker would be from?

    Warehouse

    Alec Leamas replied to Medine's topic in superdenim

    I didn't in the end. In the lead up to the release, I started wearing some other Warehouse pairs and realised that for now, their cuts just aren't my preference. I find that for the thigh + rise measurements I need, the waists are too big - there are exceptions though like the 1001XX DD-1947. I actually have a non-anniversary pair of S1003XX (not Duck Digger either, a random pair I have yet to fully identify the provenance of) - so am aware of how the cut fits me, and it's not my current preference, as much as I still love the brand! However - all of my experience with Kurabo denim to date has been very enjoyable indeed. I think I've missed out on the W34 release entirely though.

    I have been known to loaf, it must be said. I love these! Bit of Miami Vice type flair, but muted enough to be properly stylish - great find! They also look great with the ragged hems on the WoM jeans

    Alec Leamas replied to Medine's topic in superdenim

    Yup, as above, it’s a now and again one. As always with Warehouse no one seems to know what and when will be restocked. The last run they did with the new denim mentioned above was pretty sweet though!

    Alec Leamas replied to Medine's topic in superdenim

    Did you get anywhere with photos of either of these pairs? Recently got my 1000XX out of storage and enjoying them!
  22. Alec Leamas
    and for the 47: Also real life measurements from my pairs are a page or two back here too!

    Warehouse says for the 54 model (in W34):
  24. Alec Leamas
    Can't comment on the 220a offset model as I messed up my sizing, but of the 2 XX models, I would say 54 is marginally wider in the thigh, then again the 47 has a higher rise so the thigh might sit more comfortably. Sorry that's not clear, they're very very close in the thigh from my experience.

    Alec Leamas replied to Medine's topic in superdenim

    They look great! I had a pair of these briefly, but it became obvious I'd picked up the wrong size pretty quickly. Loved the denim and had such a bright blue tint to it quickly - and was clearly going to fade well and you've also demonstrated that! If they do another run of these I would be very tempted!
