Looking forward to your impressions on the 45 jeans- I haven't caved in yet (have the 42s coming in Bears 2nd delivery) but its tempting for the full tux...

The Flat Head also do a longer type I

Still early days with my jacket but think 1945 will be a reasonably quick fader like 1946. Hope yours lands soon beautiful_FrEaK!

yeah its a perfect fit, great stuff!

Thanks... got them in 2021, had some hard wear for a couple of years, then more occasional after that as just too many other pairs on the go and my TCB Viktor's Voice got more of the light oz/ warm weather wear.

Papa Nui x Major's Tailor / Sugar Cane 1945 / Codina x Rite Stuff / Freewheelers Ironalls 102 / Nicks Weather warming up so brought Ironalls I haven't worn in ages back into rotation.

1945 506 I got one wash actually from Bears (43 and 46 jeans I had from raw). I like the fit overall but the armhole is less comfortable than my Freewheelers Type I's. I'm hoping it'll settle down with wear - ptp is certainly big enough but not a jacket I would advise sizing down on even if say shoulder measurements look generous. Front length is on the longer side. The weft colour on 1945 is noticeably warmer/ more beige was one of my main first impressions. Also when buttoned it's a little bit 'wavy'. like buttons or button holes aren't totally aligned? I actually quite enjoy how it looks... presumably true to the vintage jacket.

Sculptor David Smith in his studio in 1951 in a Type I. I dig the cap and workshirt too https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/3346?

Sorry, more of the jacket... vs Sugar Cane s1945 Neat Style armhole seems cut a bit tighter / less straight which is maybe what has been making me question sizing choice...

Some pics of my Neat Style Kiwami WWII jeans and Neat Style x Denim Bridge. Jeans are the 'irregular' model with destroyed patch, wonky red tab and rusted top button which are supposed to be like B-stock sitting in a warehouse for 80 years lol. I got them as they were a pair in stock and the regular Kiwami WWII has long lead time. I kinda thought I'd hate the destroyed patch but it doesn't bother me in the end. Denim is quite streaky but less hairy and stubby than say, Sugar Cane S1943. Denim used for Kiwami WWII and the Denim Bridge models very similar but maybe different colour (notwithstanding wear washing making colour difference). Stitching character is quite different with the Denim Bridge models however (thicker more yellow thread, different quirks). Next to Sugar Cane S1943 and 1946. Neat Style back pockets a touch smaller which I don't like. Neat Style sizing is small so this is tag size 34 vs Sugar Cane size 32.

Yes will post more details when I have some time. like the jeans a lot

New jacket, might be a bit too ahh... neat... fitting for my taste. Probably could have gone up a size Neat Style x Denim Bridge s906xx Type I Codina x Rite Stuff belt Neat Style Kiwami WWII Nicks boots

1946-47 506xx new vs 2 years, 9 months. Wear pattern partly backpack related I think. Also RIP my hair 🥲

Just washing. Place I am now I have a water softener for the first time so maybe its salt the from the softener speeding up the process, I dunno. I like it.

1946-47 506XX around 2.5 years wear and 1922 506XX at just under 1.5 years (but also less abused and no machine wash)

Long time lurker first time poster. The Muramasa guy has also listed versions of 1943 jacket with fake Tenderloin patch (well I guess Levis and Sweet Orr inspired with the tug of war design?) https://zenmarket.jp/en/auction.aspx?itemCode=1159072045 This seems to be the dude https://www.instagram.com/muramasa_glove/?hl=en and https://www.instagram.com/muramasa_jeans_factory/?hl=en Rakuten store (no jeans for sale on there though, just Mickey Mouse logo'd fake Rolexes and box logo tees) https://item.rakuten.co.jp/royal-west/c/0000000121/ From his Facebook he does genuinely seem to be in Osaka https://www.facebook.com/yuya.shiozaki.5 and likes Triathlon a lot. I think Takuya Kimura comes into it because Kimura seems to wear a genuine obscure Japanese brand called SC Subculture https://sc-subculture.jp. Some of the Muramasa stuff is also sold with a Subculture patch and pictures of Kimura (eg. https://zenmarket.jp/en/auction.aspx?itemCode=n1159212942) SC Subculture's boss' instagram posting about Kimura https://www.instagram.com/p/C1vTqR9Pckn/?next=%2Fbluegodzi%2Ftagged%2F&locale=在线定制塔吉克斯坦TEF证书联系{威信%2BTG%2F飞机%3A%40buth2788}sjwNH%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3Fѧ%3F%3FƾSwQuO&img_index=1 not sure if Kimura actually talks about the brand on his YouTube or is just wearing Subculture in the video. I think the Kiwami items are intended to mimic Neatstyle as they have the same blank patch with just WWII and waist size. I find it kind of strange/funny cause you wouldn't think Neatstyle would be big enough to be worth bootlegging. What I do enjoy is that he seems to use a bunch of different red tabs (Tenderloin jacket has IRON'S red tab). Although it all seems a bit fishy to me, they do seem to sell for reasonable money eg. this used Muramasa jacket on 2nd Street (which also shows inner tag) https://en.2ndstreet.jp/goods/detail/goodsId/2340110413269/shopsId/31327 and some competitive bidding on Y! as mentioned above.
