^ Trim in the top block or waist or both?  I guess it's time to refer to Duke's chart again 😉

I'd say both, but keep in mind "trim" when speaking about the 601xx isn't really that trim in the grand scheme of things compared to other brands.

Which is why I think we need a "standard" hip measurement along with front rise and back rise to understand top block fit better. Measurement #3 on the chart. Of course, there is the question of how far down from waist to take the measurement...

 

 

Very good point.
I have a few pairs where the waist is fine, the thigh is fine, but there is too much tension in the hip area. Whiskers are prominent, but it's too much.

What should I trash for work now that my runabout jeans are about blown in the crotch? Have the following to choose from:
FW 1922   
S601xx   
FW 1947

[nopal]

Would like to see more of those 1922s @shredwin_206

[Broark]

Agreed, go with the ‘22s.

I think I’ve already seen one your s601. 22 would be interesting!

[shredwin_206]

1922 it is! Will update in a week or two when they’ve got a good thrashing 

[shredwin_206]

1922 are off to a great start with some nice dirty fades. 

[shredwin_206]

my buddy is a farmer as is thrashing a pair of 1951 601rb

[nopal]

Dang farmer friend, good job…

37 hand-me-downs from @shredwin_206

On top of my 47s

@shredwin_206 My 37s? Brotherhood of the traveling repros innit 😂

[shredwin_206]

@JMS nah bro. I still wear the pair from you. They’re trashed. Crotch need repair again. Haha 

[Duke Mantee]

Mine probably 

[scooby]

Seems like we've got a few fits for the world tour

[JMS]

As the weather cools down, bring out the RBs. They are slow going, but I am enjoying them!

Edited October 3, 2024 by JMS

[julian-wolf]

Slow going?? The RB fabric is some of the quickest fading black denim I’ve seen, it feels like

[JMS]

@julian-wolf Slow going only because of my wearing habits! 😂 Yes the denim is fast fading. 

[fabes]

My RBs are slow going because I just restarted my RBs in a better fitting size. 🫣

Played with the idea of comparing the recent RB fabric to the OG release, but then I got real about how long that would actually take to get solid wear on both and yeah, not happening anytime soon.

So if anyone is interested in a lightly used pair of 601RB in tag 32 (hemmed to ~29.5”) give me a holler.

Totally agree, there’s some great designs out there!
But for me it comes down to fit, and I haven’t been burned by anything from FW yet.

[tjsma]

That’s a Tender-esque dye job on the Uplander shirt. Looks super.

[julian-wolf]

How does the cut of the Uplander compare to the Skid Row? Really really like the look of that

[indigoeagle]

All nice, but, yes, especially the brown duck Uplander.
You got the XL, right? Do you find it fits very big?

[MJF9]

Some great new kit @Broark...also seeing the Uplander as a tempting stand-out

[julian-wolf]

Is size 18 new this season, for shirts?

I actually don’t own any Skid Row shirts so I can’t comment directly, but the XL I got feels a bit bigger than other FW shirts. More of an over shirt. 

And size 18 has been offered in the past (just the Neal chambrays I believe).

[shredwin_206]

Type 1 hand me down from @JMS    
1922 jeans hand me down from the King @Duke Mantee

[fabes]

Nice pickups @Broark

Cool to see the uplander shirt. Was tempted by that, but picked up the diamond cracker instead.
