Jackson Sack Coat

Because I got the SC tux from Seiichiro... there was an opportunity to beef up the package 😉 with these Derrickman.  Useful for the 3 days of summer we get in the UK 😀  Loving the herringbone fabric.

Finally found the jacket that originally got me interested in FW on yahoo auctions

also picked up this flannel from @JMS I think It's the Speed Tuner

[MJF9]

As requested by @Dr_Heech... plus others may be interested, sharing some measurements

Both worn a bit, especially the S516XX

1937 jeans...  been wearing most weekdays for months... steady progress though I think reasonably stubborn (will take some pics of the 33 jacket and 22 jacket for comparison soon)

Plan is to hang on until the summer then wash 

Really like both the fit and the denim

Great fades and details @MJF9

Beautiful pair of s601xx with flannel pocket bags on eBay. 
ph and they have some killer lightning bolt arcs on them. way too big for me at size 38 but figured I’d pass the info along.

I think he may still be around but not active under a different username

He’s a good guy - but he’s cycled through some amount of clothing. Items seem to be getting sold weeks after purchase 🤷‍♂️

[AlientoyWorkmachine]

S601xx 1951 with probably about 6-7 months of real wear. Didn’t wash until about 3-4 months, quite frequently after that. I think this is a better denim to wash a lot. Not the one you want for really defined fades (good with me!). The puckering one the yoke is my favorite probably.

What's the shrinkage like on the war denim? The one wash measurements provided by Hoosier are great but l wondered what the final shrinkage is, in other words, beyond the one wash state. For those who have FW war denim - What's your experience?

[Duke Mantee]

My war denim was non-wash … which shrank to size and stayed there after more washing. All one-wash FW I have had never shrank noticeably with repeated washes, the usual ‘tightening’ and stiffness from freshly laundered denim aside.

I doubt very much there would be significant variation.

[Dr_Heech]

Thanks @Duke Mantee knew you'd have the intel .

[Broark]

Echoing Duke's sentiments, I've washed my S601xx a ton and the S506xx a few times and haven't noticed much continued shrinkage.

[shredwin_206]

@Broark when are you expecting your 1942 jacket ?? 
could you do a show comparing the 1942 wwii denim next to the s601xx wwii denim? I’ve heard it’s different denim?
