MIUSA 1944 from around that time also had very OTT run off threads everywhere, and on the jacket. Pic of my SCSC 1946 to contribute

So it seems it is a slightly different but related denim to SCSC 1943. If I understood correctly they took the neppier yarn and more reddish dyeing option from the prototype stage of the 1943 denim and put those into production instead of what was finalised for the 1943 model. Although I'm not so much of a leather guy I think its a shame they didn't do a repro of the Rough In jacket they took the flannel check from, having cut up the original and copied the lining fabric. Looks like a nice half-belt.

Gave 1946 SO02 a hand wash as starting to get a bit too smelly, so took a couple snaps. Broken in nicely, nothing too dramatic in the way of fading yet.

SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
Lorcan replied to minya's topic in superdenim
Yeah I have an old Newlyn smock and a lab coat at work for this, although I guess I'm only using smaller quantities of anything than you, unless I'm doing a load of spray varnishing or something. Mostly I get away with it although My Sugar Cane 42s seem to have a crusty mark of unknown origin... I think hopefully acrylic based -

There’s also Aero if you want red/black plaid in that style https://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/mens/waterfront/mto088 Marlon’s had pretty iffy pattern matching!

McFly ran a size 42 of the Navy freedom sleeve through the dryer and got a pretty big shrinkage in length. probably nothing too crazy if just washing, but as someone who likes a shorter/boxier sweat this did pique my interest https://mcfly-store.com/collections/freewheelers-sweat-shirts/products/freewheelers-freedom-sleeve-double-v-sweat-shirt-special-heavy-weight-2534005-jet-navy

Same model plaid jacket in a 40 sold for 62,000yen on mercari a while back, sometimes I look on there to try and gauge what things are actually selling for https://jp.mercari.com/item/m80766089983 as you can select sold out listings as a search parameter on there.

Baggy 50’s have the same fabric and sewing specification as the regular TCB 50’s so retaining the name maybe makes sense that way even though they aren’t a 50’s cut? Probably still a bit confusing. fwiw the Toyo online store model does wear SC 2025 a size up compared to 1947 and SCSC 1942, 1945 etc. (although I think 1947 look a touch small on him tbh).

Thanks Dr, I did post some 1922 pics further back in the thread, but its had a soak since so maybe due an update
-
Thanks... It's fairly generously cut, I'm a 40 or 42 in FW jackets (42 in 1946-47 506xx)/ large in powerwear tees / 17 in shirts, and this is a 40. It was one of the first FW items I got 4-5 years back, I'm slightly heavier now but it still fits well.

Not sure it's an old vs new thing, more like they release different versions. alpaca/wool blend is more repro accurate standard version and 100% alpaca is like the deluxe version. Don't think they've actually been doing 100% alpaca linings all that long, think it started with some of the flying jackets like the Taildragger and then they started doing versions of the N-1 with it. They'll probably do another 100% alpaca N-1 release at some point and the current civilian deck jacket is also 100%.

Same! Have been through the same thought process... they do say on the sizing info page you can request different lengths. -
SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
Lorcan replied to minya's topic in superdenim
Maybe worth bearing in mind different stockists for some of the Shetland brands sometimes spec different lengths - so for example Jamieson's for Clutch Cafe are shorter in the body (which I like) vs the stuff on Jamieson's own web store or at No Man Walks Alone. Worth checking around. -
Yep FW 47 Yeah bit old fashioned but if I can avoid having everything on my phone I’m good with that. Although it’s thicker it’s a smaller footprint than my old billfold which I like.

The older FW 1943 506 looks closer to their standard 1947 but with one fewer button and olive hbt under the pocket flap than an actual wwii repro. Bit more ‘creative license’. No laurel leaf buttons - forgotten when they started making their own of those, I think Duke talks about it somewhere further back in this thread. Double needle pocket flap sewing like post-war (newer 1941 and 1942 are single needle). oh for the days when a FW 506 was still under 40000 yen 😂

Signal Garments coin & card case, just over 1 year Still a bit faint to see in photos but starting to get a double curve fade on some of my type I pockets
-
I don't like them either but it should be straightforward enough to fold back the edge of the patch and trim close to the stitching so nothing visible remains. I'm tempted by 41 tux but might wait and see what the measurements look like.
-
Funny I realised later I'd saved the images you'd posted in the other thread to my vintage denim folder but not twigged it was the same jacket! Oops. Nice that Warehouse does a decent repro given that the original is selling for the bargain price of 175,000 USD 😆

Mushroom listed this mint late 20s 506xx (previously appeared in King of Vintage vol. 3, so ex-Larry of Heller's Cafe I guess) beautiful jacket. Even with all the wonky repro's we've been seeing in recent years I'm not sure many of them have dared to sew a patch this skewed 🤣 Small buttons
