Really nice fit.

Glad to see Lola around too!

Seems like another brand that I could look at... the construction seems nice. Flash, how's the shrinkage like? Just got myself a Ooe 01 cut... but then saw your post makes me feels like buying. SuFu forum is a "poisonous" place to be in. Wahaha

[Flash]

they shrunk quite a bit with the first wash so id say tts would be the best advise 

 

was a toss up between the ooe and these for me as well , the 2 pairs of ooe's i have are both 02 cut and i wouldn't mind trying the 01 at some point in the future 

[Bobbo]

Looking good mate. They will be killer with a shorter inseam.

Yeap, I was also deciding on Ooe 01 or 02 cut. But seeing the jeans pictures decided on Ooe 01 being I want to try a different cut. Seems like this '47 cut from FW looks good too. Haha, going to be broke soon.

Hi Guys where are you buying your Ooes 01"s from?

The are completely sold out in their website.

NOS finish has only 31 and 36 left.

If it's the 1015 then more sizes left.

I bought the 1015 as I couldn't wait for the NOS to stock up.

Haha.

Thanks alvin_cheong.

Think these are my 2 favourite pairs of jeans

Love the denim on the 47's and the overall feel of the jeans . The fit has got a little looser since the dining has softened a bit and I'm really liking that

[Geeman]

Selling a BNWT Freewheelers sweat.Bought from Desolation Row when I was in Tokyo, was advised one full size in shrink when washed, but hardly shrunk at all on a full cycle. Lovely top, great texture in the weave. Gutted it doesn't fit.

Got my first shirt from Freewheelers, the Neal Cassidy chambray.
Great shirt and great price, should fit even better after it shrinks a little bit.
Colors are a bit wonky in some of the photos, but the color is most accurate in the fit pic I think.

[edmond]

Can i get measurements for before and after wash? Whered you buy it? And howbmuch?

[Broark]

Here's some post wash measurements Ed.

Chest: 24 in.
Shoulder: 19 in.
Length: 31 in.
Sleeves: 26.5 in.

So the shrinkage estimates on the Mirror Ball website are pretty much spot on.
Shirt shrunk up nicely and fits pretty well now, I'll try to get a fit pic soon.

Lately i've developed a liking for soft 'vintagey' feel denim and also wearing straighter cuts with trainers in warmer weather. Thus I have been thinking about getting the 1951s for a few months now to wear in the summer, but decided against due to price and not being completely sure on the fit.

Anyway saw this hardly worn pair on the IH forum for £100, so couldn't resist. The waist measurement was about 1-2cm off in my opinion, but it's nothing a belt wouldn't solve so it's fine. Need to re-hem them also.

 

[chicote]

amazing fit! that proper "stovepipe" look is so elusive and i think you pull it off perfectly with those.

i have some 1951s also and love them. the fabric is excellent, as are all the details—particularly the rounded/spherical button backs on the fly. looking forward to seeing you wear yours in!

[Niro]

Thanks! stovepipe comment made me laugh

and yea when i was doing the buttons, the rounded button backs were a fun discovery. Not so sure on the lemon colour coated buttons to stop rusting, but that's the only minor gripe.

 

[Niro]

Gave my pair a wash, and got these lovely indigo streaks in the denim. More so on the left leg than the right.

Am really liking this fit for summer.

am really liking that fit and associated 'stove piping'!

a really nice silhouette - I think the mild oversize adds to the charm

did them get hemmed?

any fit pics of them now they are breaking in...?

thanks 

been lazy to get them hemmed, but I found I like the look of them with a slight pin roll. I will aim to get fitpic when I next wear them (whenever it stops raining)

@bartlebyyphonics as promised, got fit pics since i've started wearing. The denim has lost whatever little stiffness it had, so fit is a bit messier in my opinion.

^^^^

noice!

looking excellent; some real character to them! 

they dont look bad at all for lack of hemming

great jeans!

[Niro]

thanks 

Yea i've just been going with a big single cuff. Taking some time to get used to.

[Iron Horse]

Seems like that's the way to wear them.

[Iron Horse]

Got some new FW 1947s  Fit pics later:

 

[Sensuki]

I tried those on at corlection earlier this year, had an issue with the crotch. The flat felled inseam joint would flip to the left side of the leg and that made the crotch area uncomfortable.

[Iron Horse]

Interesting; I wore them a bit yesterday, though not very long because it's unbearably hot/humid here right now, and I didn't notice that. Will try them on again later to see if it's an issue.

[Sensuki]

Because they're a once wash, I imagine it just depends on how the pair turned out after the wash.

True, it seems to be the luck of the draw as my pair isn't doing that; however, mine do seem to have a bit more wedgie in the butt than I'd like. Thankfully it's improving as I wear them and seems to have stretched and settled some. These photos are from before that, so cue Ed telling me they're too tight.
