another week. Another fade drop on the denim work tux. Getting epic already

It's gotten too cold for a denim jacket as far as I'm concerned.

Why don't you wear that lush rust colour FW flight jacket. Never see you in a fit pic with it 🙂

[srudy]

The Worcester hunting jacket, my favorite of all time!

Never! This is just a question of layering strategies, really.

^ So true.. when i lived in Canada ten years ago (wow) my go-to outfit was a thermal t, thick flathead flannel, and denim jacket over that… and i could be out in the snow for ages!! I never expected denim jackets to be so versatile but i think they work really well with a thick heat trapping layer underneath.

I'm on a leather jacket frame of mind right now, and this leads me to wonder whether FW has not stopped or slowed significantly its leatherwear output?

Got these three recently... can't beat a bit of Freewheelers... especially the newer stuff... lovely

Blystone mechanic shirt #2433005, USAF trousers #2432004, Derrickman in denim #2412004 (a marmite of a pair of jeans... I like 'em)

[MJF9]

30s jeans and jacket... in poor lighting, both inside and outside

laundry day today for the raw 1947 and the 601rb 

[scooby]

601XX 1947

Been wearing in some 37 and 43 as well - I've really been enjoying FW denim

[shredwin_206]

Lookin awesome @scooby!

[shredwin_206]

1947 got another wash and dryer. Fading fast 

[MJF9]

@shredwin_206 on the journey to being shredded!!  Did you wash and dry them without turning inside out?  Looks like it but wanted to check

[MJF9]

S516XX... one of my favourites for sure 

[shredwin_206]

@MJF9 yea I didn’t turn inside out. Never tried that method before. 
I like when they get crinkly personally. More character

This is one that I missed because I wasn’t into denim jackets then, but would snatch up real quick if they do another run. 

[MJF9]

@fabes I'd definitely recommend... the flannel lining is top quality imo.  I went big for layers and use it a lot in colder months.  I don't know how FW decide what to remake - it's a question maybe @Duke Mantee could comment on...

No easy answer mate - they always like to push certain aspects of quality … but re-issues are fairly random, everything has to fit to the ideas for any particular collection 

[vlad_III]

I asked at Desolation Row a few times and they are saying nothing planned but they’ve been wanting to do a rerun in a different color flannel. The factory they order the fabric from apparently shuts those requests down most of the times. The specs they are asking for makes it difficult…

[Broark]

Just a few recent deliveries, first three from Hoosier and last one from Yahoo.
Blystone.


Gemsa. Trying to camouflage with my tile.


Two-tone midweight sweat.


Heavyweight sweat in straw cream, found BNWT on Yahoo.

[jkbrwn]

Open ended question but how much are people paying for jeans from Hoosier after shipping to the U.S? I didn't realize it was an Instagram DM kinda thing and just went off the website, so ended up buying some 47 one washes from a proxy. Too late to do anything now but hoping I didn't get shafted...

[Broark]

@jkbrwn Japanese domestic price (minus tax) plus shipping. So depending on the current yen conversion rate it can fluctuate.

Ok that’s not too bad then - thanks. Guess I’ll just be out of a ¥1000 proxy handling fee.

Nice haul. That Blystone has been making eyes at me too.

My '47s after about 3 months on top of some brand new 601rb's delivered from Hoosiers yesterday. 

Really like the fit of the RB. Might have to try some '51s down the road.

[Alec Leamas]

There's been some serious heat tempting me to buy some Freewheelers kit of late.

I don't have any black jeans, yet.....
