tbh, all csf is totes where its at...

looking fwd to full measurements when received broark sir!

and also: to call on your multitudes of knowledge: flash and b_F: in context of cone discussions, any thoughts on difference between cone and csf denim? (I know discussion was made of the non-showy aspect of csf denim compared to others japanese denim: how does lvc 1947 stack up in comparison?)  

[Flash]

Not really a fan of the two face / three face stuff ( the type 2 on the last page ) , the workmanship is great as always but there is a bit too much messing with the details ( think this is input from the shop owner because he has a lot of crazy looking multicolour boots and stuff ) for my taste , donut buttons on a type 2 ...... no thanks 

 

Regarding Cone vs csf denim ( ww2 denim ) , both produce and use very nice denim ..... different but nice all the same . As far as Conners are concerned i think they nailed the ww2 denim , if you look back through Yoshiaki's imstagram you will see a side by side pic of the Conners denim and the vintage s501xx that its based on . Im not sure what cone's approach is , if they reproduce a specific vintage fabric or if the just make a nice denim but i really appreciate Yoshiaki's approach to making his jeans as close to the originals as possible

Didn’t realize the type II was a shop exclusive, was hoping that was the next jacket Yoshiaki was adding to the lineup.

Pretty sure it will end up a regular model 

[Broark]

That's good news!

@bartlebyyphonics: I try to get some kind of comparison between the CSF M47 and the LVC 47 later today or the next days. Hopefully with good pictures!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Lighting is way too bad in the evening. So but what I can say so far: the CSF denim is bluer but darker as the denim is woven tighter. Less weft is showing through. Both denims have few irregularities. The Cone denim of the 1947 is lighter in feel and weight. 

All in all, the CSF 47 denim is probably most Cone-esque denim of all my Japanese jeans.

thanks so much

good to hear; that was my suspicion with csf as non-slub, but more intensity...

would love to see pix if can do

[much respect for the csf project so really enjoying all pix and details, one day wallet will open...]

[Broark]

Well my CSF order might get delayed, I got sideswiped this morning on my way to work so I’ll probably be spending a good bit of cash on getting my car fixed.

Hit and run? 

[Cucoo]

Yeah - sucks, but isn't that what insurance is for?

No, luckily the guy stopped and gave me all his information.
Just waiting to see how much it'll cost, I keep my deductible pretty high so my insurance payments are lower.
Coming back to bite me a bit currently, but I've never been involved in any sort of accident before so it's all pretty new to me.
Just glad the car is drivable and no one got hurt.

[goodrain]

If it is the other person's fault his insurance will pay for the damages and you won't have to pay a deductible.

[Broark]

Right, I'm just waiting to make sure it all shakes out that way since it was very clearly his fault.
Don't want to assume the insurance will cover everything then get hit with a repair bill or deductible payment. Airing on the side of caution more than anything.
So hopefully everything will get settled within the next week or so and then I can order my jeans.

So here a little comparison between the denim of the LVC 47 and the CSF 47. But the differences are subtle and my phone isn't good enough at this evening lighting.

CSF on the right...notice it's way more hairy

CSF on the left and LVC on the right

[dudewuttheheck]

Nice! The second to last picture really shows the difference well. 

Any differences in terms of construction/details worth noting?

[bartlebyyphonics]

b_F

thnk u, thnk u, thnk u!

one is def. the more hirsute of the two!

really interesting to see the comparison.

 

[Broark]

Good news, the other guy's insurance is covering everything so the CSF fund is safe. 

[Flash]

Took some outdoor pics and they turned out pretty good ( for me ) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Things are a bit slower on my jacket 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

They look really great Ryan!

[Flash]

Thanks mate , best pait of jeans ive had 

[Broark]

One last question, which CSF Instagram account should I message to get my order started?
I get all the accounts associated confused since I follow so many of them.

I know this denim is light, but I can already tell the lap fades are going to be epic

[nycsurfer530]

Love that fit!

Is this Konaka-san making a pair of West Ride 1948XX?

Is he involved with this label? Seems related to Conners co

[Flash]

Yeah , the 1948 is a collab with westride , came out last year along with a type 1 jacket
