Nice Iron Horse!

Mine (1951 one) have that hip flare on one side too, weird.

Yeah, it seems to be back right pocket bottom flaring out that causes it. Only on one side though; maybe my massive quads are bigger on one side.

Got one of the new Freewheelers N-1. So far so good. The color is more green than beige to me. This is a size 42; I'm 180ish lbs & 5'9".

[JDelage]

This year’s N-1 jacket. Super comfy. It's not that light in real life (and neither is the shirt, which is also quite new.)

I got a PM asking about measurements on my 1951, so thought for reference it would be good to add them here. Original owner had given these a soak and worn handful of times. I gave it a 40c machine wash inside out. I have since worn them for towards 2 months. These are measurements after that.

Waist: 33.2 inches

FR: 11.7 inches

BR: 15.5 inches

Upper thigh: 12.4 inches

Looking for this in a size 44. Klamp is sold out, Porky's doesn't carry it, and Speedway doesn't carry it.  I'm out of options now.

I'd be more than happy to do the Everitt Logging Co version but the measurements aren't going to fit me like the JM Paine does, based on my dealings with henleys.

My personal bias says to email Speedway at info at speedway-shop.com and ask if they can order it for you.

Going against my interests, I see that McFly has it in stock:

In other FW news, I picked up the cotton/wool Montauk from Lefty/TheTwoClicks:

by the time lefty's done with his sales he'd be down to his beard!

[Iron Horse]

Shhh, I heard he's donating it to charity...

[lefty]

I still need to get rid of so much. There’s plenty more to come.

2 months, 2nd machine wash:

The poor patch doesn't like the washing machine treatment at all

 

[Iron Horse]

Patch looks cool in its own way though

Sadly I had to sell off my w32 1947s; the upper thigh and crotch were too tight for me, especially on hot days, and made me chafe. Have to replace them sometime.

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.

 

Are you still running these? This is one of my favourite fits that I remember seeing. I could certainly live with having a silhouette like this. How did you size yours? 

[Niro]

Yup, still wearing them when i'm at home on weekends, and odd day here and there.

My waistline hovers around 32 inch mark and I got tag size 32 which came up at 33 inches for the waist.

How is Freewheelers as a brand for Jeans? It doesn't seem terribly popular here. They seem to have. aLevi's report of a 606 fit that is popular on some other forums and blogs.

[Iron Horse]

The jeans are good actually; denim is nice and hairy, with some slubbing. I tried to size down one a pair of the 601XX 1947 but just ended up being too small, and I had to sell them off. Will look to maybe get the new 1943's coming out at the end of the month:
