It's from a photo set taken at the University of Arizona rodeo in 1947. Here's a shot of her, with her very dubiously shaped cigarette.

It's not until May 2nd that the tariffs on packages under $800 kick in, and that will only be on packages from China. It seems like we still have some time before he hits Japan too. -

Assuming those photos are of the original piece, is it possible the belt loops were added by a tailor? It could explain the issues with construction and location, although tucking the belt loops into the waistband as they are is probably not a very viable option for an already constructed garment.

Thank you! They are indeed, CS 100X, it's been a real love/hate relationship haha. I get bored, decide they need a wash, it reignites my love, then I get bored again.

After 3 months of searching high and low for my next jacket, I finally settled on the Freewheelers 506XX 46-47. I had no qualms about sizing, thanks to the wealth of information available in the FW thread, and went with a 42. Upon arrival, I was dismayed at the fit. It felt huge ( no pre-wash fit pics, apologies😅) so I immediately threw it in the machine for a hot wash (heavy agitation) and dry, and it came out just about perfect in my opinion. According to my measurements there wasn't drastic shrinkage anywhere, but the fit feels like night and day, it's perfect now; I think I just have denim dysmorphia or something. This is without a doubt the nicest denim I own, it really puts my jeans to shame. It's so textured and lively, whereas the 3sixteen denim just looks flat and lifeless in comparison, I'm not sure if I'll be able to wear them together. I guess I may be in the market for a new pair of jeans soon.... Measurements taken with a sewing tape, garment laying flat, all pleats folded, not stretched. Note: I gave the sleeves a real good stretch before throwing it in the dryer, which could explain the lack of shrinkage compared to the body.
