Speaking of tarriffs - looks like our government has been inspired by Trump's customs shake-up and followed suit - the £135 de minimis to be removed by March 2029 at the latest! https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/reforming-the-customs-treatment-of-low-value-imports-into-the-united-kingdom The "Temu Tax" they're calling it. smh

This is good to know, I much prefer the look and dimensions of the late 40s jacket. Always prefer a more cropped jacket too!

Ahhh okay, no worries, great choice in the end! I did email Ryo about the size chart on the s40's - as I'd remembered some debacle on the s40's comp about size chart scaling or something. He did confirm that the measurements on there are correct and have been taken by him on an actual pair. Further consideration required from me - I'm kind of looking to oversize them and the megarise is really appealing to me!

So the 126 didn’t work out. Compared to the 203 they are just so slim through the hip and that continues down the thigh too. I like the look of them but the cut just won’t work for me. Just giving them another wash and will pop them up for sale on here shortly before them going to Vinted and eBay too! I’ll share measurements once they’ve dried.

At Last lot 147… proper nice Leepro from Timeworn Clothing.

Further to this - did you pick up a pair of the S40's? I'm pondering the possibility of an S40's / Late S40's hybrid tux and I need some real life measurements of the original (but recently bought) S40's to help make my mind up! Looking at a 36 myself. I also realise there is tonnes of info on those jeans around from years back, including the comp on here that I've browsed many times - but I'm looking for recent measurements in case anything's changed etc

I agree with the above, I would also say they would be cool with you sending a screenshot from IG and asking whether x, y or z was current season and if it’s in stock etc!

My grey marl freedom sleeve Cushman sweat, size M, currently measures: 53cm p2p 58cm back length 56cm pit to cuff It's had many washes (no drier, yet) and many wears - has also been worn out of the last wash for these measurements. Hopefully that's useful to check against size charts. The one dimension that doesn't work perfectly for me is the sleeve length, I need to cuff the ...cuff, to get it to the right length. An issue I don't have with my new Butcher Products raglan sweat. I've noticed different materials wear & age differently, which sounds silly to say, but I'm meaning even on garments you'd expect to function the same. e.g. I have 2 Toys McCoy tshirts of the exact same size and style, bought together that have aged substantially differently and shrunk / stretched differently.

Funnily enough, when I saw this post, I'd already nabbed a pair on FJ - unworn, one-washed, with a nice clean hem done ever so slightly longer than I would but still, just about right - and in a 32 too like my 203. They arrived today, and... You are indeed not wrong, much slimmer through the hip and a lower rise too! Though the waist seems fine so wouldn't work for me sizing up. Not given them a proper wear yet so can't make a full and honest assessment.

Unreal! Would love to see Blackstar live, and Lowkey too!

I like the look of the Redbacks! Never heard of them before - they do seem to have a few models without the red..

Having had a look at the size chart on the field pants they’re pretty ideal dimensions, great find! There seems to be tonnes more roomy fitting stuff on there these days, great to see!

I too love Community Clothing, Patrick Grant is a legend for what he’s put into the business! I did not realise he’d also been involved in E Tautz, though I knew he used to run Norton & sons (another Savile Row place) - bringing it back from the brink or somesuchlike. Looking forward to seeing the trousers!!

There have been massive price increases on the shoes - I don't know whether this extends to any of their leather goods, but I knew it was happening with shoes. The side gore boots went up to about that as well - makes my purchase from DC4 a few months ago a huge win!

That depends - if you like them (the photo and your question suggest you don't), then keep them, if not - Reddit will for sure snaffle these up!
