My size 33 measures 18 laying flat. 2 to 2.5 shrinkage is probably realistic. It seems it is slightly oversized.

I know it can be frustrating when you try to figure measurements. You are size 34 right? I would not go down two sizes. It seems the denim has the potential to shrink a lot and the waist is oversized compare to the rest of the measurements. I also remember the weft and warp are made of different cotton source. So the shrinkage might be unpredictable. I say contact Keiichi from McFly since he has the one wash model available and ask him to measure the jeans using the method you are comfortable with.

Pleasantly surprised by how much I like this shirt, given that I have no experience with the brand. It's the "Neal Cassaday Bakehead" shirt. I stumbled across it while aimlessly websurfing and instantly fell in love. Picked it up from Speedway on Rakuten, which was a wonderfully smooth experience.

lovely shirt Houstonchris; its from their S/S13 line; the detail shot is amazing. Will have to pick up another Cassidy shirt myself; they fit amazing

Im going to get around to giving these a soak next week, To clear up some confusion here are some BIG style measurements...
 

Lot. 601XX Raw

Waist- 16.75"

Thigh- 12.8"

Knee- 10"

Hem- 9"

F/rise- 12"

B/rise- 16"

Inseam- 37.75"
 

Expected 2-3cm of waist shrinkage with a warm soak so they should be just about perfect.

I will always be a sucker for a red tab.

They look great Double 0, what's the weight of the denim?

[Double 0 Soul]

14oz, im blown away with the details.

[Mich]

Great pick up, what kind of fit are they?

[Double 0 Soul]

They are a 47 cut, I have not tried them on yet but they seem a fairly typical 47 repro, Im sulking in the house with "man flu" cant do a soak because if i need to get in them wet to stop shrinkage i cant face it the way im feeling.

The quoted shrinkage is all over the shop.

[Mich]

Should be quite a slimmish fit then, will make a nice break from you RMC's.

Hope you get well soon, 'beterschap' as we say over here.

[Double 0 Soul]

I did not need another 47 repro but hey-ho, i did need those buttons though,

They are not that slim, fit pics at...

The fit on 49ers looks slimmer than on mirrorball, with a 47 cut it can depend a lot on the sizing, it's one of myfavourite cuts.

Nothing beats the old whiskey therapy, Scotch?

Those buttons have everything I'd ever wanted in a button

[oomslokop]

the rounded back of those buttons & backpocket rivets are sexxxy. is that a historical detail or freewheelers' invention?

Was just browsing through Hickorees and looks like they are selling this model as well.  I might head over there this weekend to check them out...

[Double 0 Soul]

Nothing on Hickorees site says they are the non-wash version, knowing what i know now i will say they definitely are. Not many stockists had the 32"raw.

 

The fit on 49ers looks slimmer than on mirrorball, with a 47 cut it can depend a lot on the sizing,

 

Fits from both 49's and mirrorball are a little deceptive because they are the washed +dryer version, The shrinkage post soak is 2-3cm in the waist and 5-6cm on the inseam, After the dryer its a massive 5-6cm in the waist and 8-9cm on the inseam.

I don't even own a dryer so that aint going to happen with these.

I'm generally satisfied with open-and-close-ability!

[LFC4ever]

The latest version appear to be reclassified as 1939 model but I think the changes are minimal:<br />http://www.mirrorball101.com/product/3382

[Double 0 Soul]

Its a different 601XX model using the same 14oz denim, Snake passed on the news of there release on here back in march.

soon i will post my VW 601, its to loose for me now .. my weight dropped drastically

[Thor]

That is good advice, thanks Snake.

Just while browsing since my last post I saw this fit over at Hanger-m

http://www.hangar-m....HOP/FW0054.html

They appear quite a sound fit here, nice and high waisted, almost 50's style box down from the waistband and interestingly apparently worn TTS according to the write up.

I'd be very worried about doing that especially with a 33 measures effectively 36", and as I posted above putting a 34 at nearly 38"!! lol

edit - curiously, and to throw more confusion into the works despite being the non-wash model (1012001 I guess) hanger-m quote the 33 to be 89cm (perfect) and the 34 to be 92cm. Yet more conflicting sizing. Honestly, what is going on with these jeans!

 

Hey ! Do Hangar m ship internationally ?
