@jkbrwn Whole fit is awesome! New type 1 is killer. the NB trainers also look great with jeans - super timeless look. Tried some on myself in person and did really like how comfy they are but in the end had family members in Asia who were getting some Onitsuka Tigers for themselves and asked if I was interested. Having never tried them myself it was hard to pass up! I'm sure they'll be less comfy but still probably better than my converse or Red Wings as I get the upgraded comfort pair with more support. Hope Mother Nature isn't too harsh on you guys out there!

I'm increasingly convinced after this pic that one of the best ways to rock double denim is to introduce a nice pop of colour elsewhere, like that great yellow hat. Love the fit.

@Cold Summer great fit! I think it was mentioned elsewhere as well that the lower rise compared to the s40s really makes them a very versatile pair while maintaining the quirkiness TCB is known for. Looks like you nailed the sizing and the inseam too. Glad you’re enjoying the denim, it’s got just the right amount of character for me and it has a unique hue to it - it’s dark like my 30s but has a bit more of a reddish/purple tinge to it. Excited to see how it fades! and hard agree that the BR chinos are simple but just fantastic to wear

@jkbrwn @Broark @oomslokop Thanks for all the recommendations! I'll pop over to some local shops and try on the NB/Asics kicks you mentioned in person - I've seen them worn but never actually put them on myself. First time seeing Karhu as well and they seem great, very unique profiles. @ATWM If I could I would just rock boots in the winter and converse/birks in the summer, but I'm slowly starting to accept I have criminally high arches and likely need something with arch support to compensate. That being said, I haven't worked up the nerve to try barefoot shoes yet (although I am seeing more and more pop up) so maybe I've got it all backwards and have yet to be converted over to their benefits.

Anyone have any recommendations for good runners that pair well with denim? Love wearing my Red Wings and flat soled sneakers but all the walking on hard surfaces is starting to catch up to my shins and I’m craving something more comfortable.

@jkbrwn hahaha right? The stitching is quite wonky in some spots, especially the end of the sleeves. I have to really wonder just how ‘unskilled’ the workers really were and how much of it is leaning into the imagined charm of the aesthetic. @Cold Summer thanks! Just grabbed the BR chinos to be able to wear with my jackets and not always rock the Canadian tux and love them so far. Hope you enjoy the jeans, post some pics!

Late 40s jacket arrived in today. Super crispy still and in need of breaking in but very happy with the shorter fit compared to my 20s and all the ww2 detailing! The denim has a bit of a redder hue and is simple but hairy. Wrestled with getting the cinch back to buckle properly a bit but looking forward to wearing this practically daily going forward.

Ahhh, I had seen the photo with the doggo when they had the dog coat reversed to show off the lining - cool to see the flip side! Would love to see more photos

@blooming Looking forward to seeing some fit pics, especially of a full tux!!! @julian-wolf Beautiful doggo - you have to elaborate on the jacket! Is this a self-made project or something TCB sells as is?

Great snag, from what I could gather all the shops were having trouble getting any late 40s stock because of their popularity and probably only got one or two pairs of each size! They are selling out super quick, it seems any 'war model' is an incredibly hot commodity within Japan (similar to how the warehouse DSB ww2 model jacket that released in late december instantly sold out as well). I grabbed the jacket myself (I think the model in the photos is probably wearing my jacket as I got the same size hahaha) and just looked on the site and anything smaller than a 42 is already sold out completely. I'm excited for a TCB jacket where the pattern hasn't been altered from the original, should be a little shorter and nice and roomy around the shoulder and arm holes. Bears is selling them significantly lower than any other site as well...crazy that free shipping is included too.

I had no idea the cliffs were actually man-made - very cool and impressive tidbit of information! Lovely pics

@yung_flynn the sleeve measurement of my size L sits at 58.5cm. Deluxeware has it clocked at 59.5cm, meaning my sleeves are 1cm shorter than expected.

@yung_flynn thanks! Re: the sleeve measurements on my s101 I’ll measure up when I get home - I took a standard L size but I would assume the US sizes might accommodate a longer sleeve length as well. I’m also very intrigued by cushman, specially their freedom sleeve sweats and afterhoods. Will certainly get my hands on one of those in the future!

On another note, has anyone here pre-ordered the late s40’s jacket or received one?

The votes are in, I’ll keep the hem as is and enjoy the roping as begin washing them frequently. Thanks @blooming and @Maynard Friedman! Really enjoying the deluxeware sweat and pre-ordered it soon after we chatted. Will be recommending them anytime discussion comes up on loopwheeled sweats, the price to quality ratio seems fantastic. @exaptavist will have to try some of the other sweats they have, I’m sure this s101 is just first of many from deluxeware for me. Glad you’re enjoying them as well!
