And pre-soak fit pics of the new WW2 pair.

These look great. Looking forward to post soak pics bF. Would be interested in before and after measurements if you have time.

Thanks folks!
The WW2 denim is quite stretchy compared to the '47 denim but I still didn't want to risk another too small pair by getting a size 37 (which Konaka-san said he could do) so they are a tad looser than my '47 now but nothing some future washes will solve ;)

Measurements are as follows on the type 1 as promised... apologies bit tardy in getting them through...

Size 46

Raw - Post 30C wash in cm

Shoulders 52 - 50

Chest 62 - 57.5

Length 65 - 60

Sleeve 67.5 - 60

Opening 57 - 52.5

Size 44 (turned out too small for me)

Shoulders 51 - 49

Chest 59 - 56.5

Length 65 - 59.25

Sleeve 63 - 57

(yes 57, not uncommonly short in type 1s of the period I understand) 

Plus Konaka's official chart for comparison

Significant shrinkage and variables to navigate if you're planning one - good luck!

Not sure if my 46 will shrink much more if I wash on 40C - anyone tried?
