Freewheelers, Bootleggers Reunion, Bubo, etc.

Nothing wrong with an unprovoked opinion, that's why we're here right? 
I'll try to get an updated fit pic today if I decide to wear them, you're saying you'd go for one less cuff but bigger?
I think they'd be ideal with about 2 inches taken off the inseam.

First day wearing the 43's and I feel like they're almost too baggy.  Front looks good, back (top block) looks really big.

Measurements pls 

[MJF9]

@Broark IIRC saw a single larger cuff on @Iron Horse that looked good

I've seen your fit pics across a few different threads, have to say those fit you the best. Really good fit, don't worry bout the saggy ass, that's just how FW fit.

[Broark]

Thanks! The saggy butt has already my girlfriend calling me “diaper butt” so that’s cool. 

[JohnM]

^ She wants to take care of you, so wear those FW and let her do it!

[dudewuttheheck]

From the front I think they look quite good. That Freewheelers flare is hard to avoid, but I don't necessarily dislike it. 

[Broark]

Here's your measurements Ed. 

Waist: 36 in.
Front rise: 13 in.
Back rise: 18 in.
Thigh: 14 in.
Knee: 10 in.
Hem: 9 in.
Inseam: 34 in.

The diaper butt is always an issue with vintage cuts 

they’re not flattering to the backside 

[Broark]

True, my CSF have the same issue but it’s not as exaggerated since the hips are slimmer.

[shredwin_206]

Yea my FW 1947 have crazy hip flare since they’re still pretty new. 

It just makes the saggy bottom even worse. Need to break them in. Haha 

Honestly out of all my denim Roy, WH Ranch, Wrangler, Left Field, etc 

My wife says that the wrangler and Mister Freedom are really the only ones that look good from the back....haha

I know you’ve been dying to see my rear in jeans, so here’s what my FW43s look like from the back:

[shredwin_206]

Looks a lot better than my rear in the 47s! Haha

Deadlifting should help.

[shredwin_206]

Nah. Been lifting for years. It’s just the cut of the jeans. Haha

Now that I look in the mirror, the diaper butt is more pronounced when I’m standing up normally. But I really don’t mind it or hip flare; I just embrace the repro look.

Very nice mate , was your pair that convinced me to buy a pair years ago ..... but then conners convinced me to sell them , if I'm honest I kind of regret it because they were lovely jeans 

[Double 0 Soul]

Aye, that's the one, Valencia St

[JDelage]

All - what is this jacket:

 

On the blog it's referred to as "”FLIGHT DECK CREW COAT” from <Union Special Overalls>", but I can't find any trace of it anywhere....

http://freewheelers.co.jp/blog/archives/23411

[Iron Horse]

It’s not out yet it seems; I’d contact your favorite FW stockist and see if/when they’ll be getting them in, price, colors, etc.

[JDelage]

That Flight Deck Crew Coat is pretty awesome - as it should at $1,400... Looks like it's largely sold out already.

Gave the 1943s another wash:

 

[Broark]

Wore my pair yesterday, need to get them hemmed and start wearing them more regularly.

[Geeman]

Freewheelers slimmest fit is...?

[Iron Horse]

The 661ZXX, AFAIK; before that it was the 1951 601XX.

Of the top of my head, it goes, from straightest to slimmest:

1947 -> 1943 -> 1951 -> 661ZXX
