I'm down with waiting. Makes it all the more sweeter when it lands.

He's running a small (but growing) business at the end of the day and I bet he's got a shed load of existing orders to get through.

Rome wasn't built...yadda yadda.

[Foxy2]

Fine with me - length should not be a problem, it's easy to get it hemmed locally if needed...

[tigerstrom]

I'm still in but I think the sleeves look weird on the pictures that was posted on his blog. But maybe there was several different prototypes?

[Cucoo]

Looks really nice, and yeah, I hope he adjusts the classic long tails for a crowd of people who would either wear it untucked and/or don't rodeo ride all day so shorter tails don't matter re: shirt untucking itself

 

Also, very nice classic shirt to do a "repro" of. I think this shirt is in the current LVC lineup too and it'd be really nice to get a proper shirt in more interesting denim

[nizzel55]

The shirt looks nice. But body looks quite long. A bit to long. As many of you have said.

Took some more pics of my Chore coat today.

It is a lovely jacket.

Me and my long arms....

[Broark]

Volvo I know what you mean about communication with Inoue San, I sent him a quick email to see if there was an update on my type II and he just said wait a little longer!

I'm sure it'll be worth it.

[garden gnomes in space]

i think I might be in on this. ( especially since that FH/RJB thing looks to possibly be going the way of the slim fit...grrr).  really like the prototype!  

[Iron Horse]

Looks great to me, length isn't a big deal either way. Excited for this. 

[aho]

It's TCB so it's not going to be too expensive since they are the manufacturer IMO...Can't wait and I like the Levis shirt as well!

[holio cornolio]

Just to echo what others have said, I'm still in, but definitely preferred the shorter, slimmer cut as modelled on the first pic. Fabric and fit over details for me, and I'm sure that both will be tasteful. Also - thanks Volvo for co-ordinating and leading the charge on this. Sterling work.

Finally, is it just me? Why is Sufu page formatting all screwed up since the addition of that Kate Spade ad?

[unders]

Mine's like it too. I don't know Kate Spade, but her advert certainly does not make me want to buy her clothes.

[holio cornolio]

^ amen

[nizzel55]

Inoue is great.

I just got my second chore coat with modified sleeve length to fit my abnormaly long arms.

I guess i need to sell my first chore coat size 40 seen on the pictures above.

I am a happy man.

[volvo240thebest]

if it only was my size I would have been tempted to get it off you but unfortunately a size 40 wouldn't fit my abnormally big belly!

[nizzel55]

It is actually quite wide at that area.

If you can fit the type II in a 42 i am sure you can get into a chore coat size 40.

[volvo240thebest]

mmh I am a perfect 42 in the duck cloth vest, I doubt it. but I'll PM you nonetheless.

Can you install AdBlock? I'm not seeing Kate's lovely ad thanks to it.

[Sugar Mountain]

I have Adblock on as well and everything is hunky dory. In fact, I think I first looked into Adblock when an earlier ad was causing sufu to go awry.

Quick comparo of my TCB60s new vs old. I kept the offcuts when the jeans were hemmed, and this pic shows the offcut vs the front of the thigh where colour is most faded.

 

next is vs inside of thigh where there's less fading colour is quite true here-

 

 

finally against the lower leg where very little fading has happened, although you can tell the 2 apart. Lower legs are still quite hairy and very little indigo lost

 

 

disclosure - these are all iPhone pics with no manipulation because basically I'm too lazy to set up my camera and lights

 

Edit - Duh - these jeans have been worn for about 90-95 days with 1 hot soak and 2-3 washes.

[UkeNo]

Officially interested in the Shirt.

Consider this my notice of

participation/want :-)

Quite liked both designs, so happy either way.

I had my hands in the seamans jumper a while ago but it was just too small. Fitted like a very slim shirt so had to let it go.

I'm also keen on the type 2 ('50's'?) jacket but unsure about the length.

A shirt will be a nice addition as my MF Okinawa cpo is a beast and not ideal for layering under coats etc in the winter.

Thanks for all the work Volvo.

[volvo240thebest]

hey Ukeno, glad to have you onboard!

as for the type II jacket bear in mind that Inoue San will adjust the lenght if you ask.

his own type II has been shortened too.

[nizzel55]

The new chore coat.

Only wearing a T-shirt underneath. When wearing a heavy shirt underneath it, it will pull up the sleeves to the perfect length

I am super happy with it.

from the TCB blog:

is he Miki San from Fullcount or am I wrong?

[Bobbo]

Miki doppelganger! 

 

Btw, I want those close-up shots of the duck cloth boys, my pics just looks like shite. Should get a few up here to spread the fanboyism further.

[volvo240thebest]

I am away in Scotland at the moment will do as I get back mate.

[Bobbo]

^ Looking forward to it!

[nycsurfer530]

What sizing advice would you give to the 50s type 2 jacket? My chest measures 39" and a 30" waist. I want a snug fit, I'll never wear anything heavy underneath. Would the 38 be too tight? Also I'm totally down for the western shirt order.

Edited September 17, 2015 by nycsurfer530

[goodrain]

Size 40, in my opinion.

[holio cornolio]

^^ I'm a little over 5'9", 147lb, with about a 38" chest and a(measured) 32" waist. I'm wearing a size 40 and I can just fit a heavyish sweater and a tshirt underneath. I say just, because it's not actually the chest that's snug, it's the sleeves. The arms on the 50s jacket are cut slim and high, giving it a slim profile no matter how the chest fits. I'd be wearing a 38 if it wasn't for the desire to layer the jacket with a sweater, but 40 still looks ok (IMHO) on me. There's some pics of mine in this thread I think that will give you a rough idea.
