Awesome, thank you @exaptavist, @reallypeacedoff, and @Talan, appreciate the help on the n00b question!

Just got my first pair of unsanforized denim in the mail today, Denime Lot 224. I have been reading a bit on here/reddit about washing them and am wondering what opinions are on best practices. They are quite big, so I am looking for the advertised 2-2.5" shrinkage in waist etc. Should I soak in hot water and then cold wash, or just hot wash right away? If I soak, how long would you recommend? Thanks in advance! Also, sorry I know there isn't one answer for this question and there are posts in the archives here for sure, just curious what current thoughts are.

Great song! I watched the Joe Strummer documentary a couple weeks ago, not sure if you saw it/your take on that, but I thought it was kind of funny how they didn't show any of the interviewees names when they were talking, made for kind of a fun game to see how many you can get, but also kind of annoying.

Anyone trying to sell a pair of chinos? 34-36 in waist, straight leg or tapered, not super wide/baggy. Let me know, thanks!

@Mtvare, thanks for the response and good to hear! I know the measurements are available and all, but would you say it fits TTS, albeit kind of baggy so you could wear a sweater underneath, or would you recommend sizing up?

@Double 0 Soul, had not heard of this guy before, but this is cool!

Anyone have/had the buzz rickson m-65? I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on it compared to the RMC one given the price difference. Thanks!

@Alec Leamas, no worries, hope you had a good trip and thanks for the follow up! I appreciate the measurements and hope to follow up in here if I get some.

@AlientoyWorkmachine, solid! I've heard good things about it! I went with the Gaggia classic pro and have enjoyed it so far.

@Alec Leamas, these look great! Bears says shrinkage is about 5-6cm in the waist and 6-7cm in the inseam. Did that seem to be on par with the shrinkage you experienced if measured?

@AlientoyWorkmachine, what's your espresso set up?

SOLD I have two loopwheel sweatshirts on ebay, one NWOT, the other worn a few times. See details below (measurements and more pics provided on ebay)/let me know if you are interested in either. I know I don't have a ton of rep. on here yet, but my ebay feedback is solid FWIW and willing to chat if wanted. Flexible on price. Thanks! --John Deluxeware Crewneck Grey and Beige Size L. Cushman Freedom Sleeve Sweatshirt Red (Size L)

Noted, thanks!

@julian-wolf, thanks I will check them out! On a side note, do you know any stockists for them (just if you know some off hand, not trying to make you search for me)? I bought a Freewheelers crewneck from McFly once and they appear to have some of these, but just want to see some options. I'm still a bit of a noob on buying from JP retailers, but have had really good experiences with Takeoff, McFly, and Rodeo Japan Pine Avenue.

Does anyone have any recs for hoodies wherw the front has two separate pockets? I've seen the one from RMC, but wondering if anyone can vouch for that one or other brands? Thanks!

The freedom sleeve ones seem a bit shorter for sure.

I concur 100%. I have 4 now haha, 2 regular and 2 freedom sleeve. Prices are pretty good at Takeoff BTW and they ship fast too.
