if your talking about the fit then the 47's have a tighter waist and hips then taper out a bit in the lower part of the hips to give a nice straight fit . The 46 have a nice generous waist and a looser hip that the 47 ( but still taper in a bit ) , the 46 basically feel more or less straight from top to bottom 

 

not the best comparison but 46 on the left and 47 on the left 

 

 

the details are a lot different , the 46 still have a lot of war details like  open crotch seam , lots of wonky stitching , mismatched buttons and the lack of bar tacks on back pockets  , but they also have coin pocket rivets and bartacks on the back pockets that are seen in post war 501xx's , id would have loved it if Yoshiaki added some wonky levis arcs but we all know why he couldnt

I'm kind of torn between the WWII pair and the 46's, both use the same denim correct?

Would you say the WWII stitching is more wonky overall compared to the 46's?

Need to sell off a few pairs before I invest in these!

[Flash]

yeah , id say the ww2 are more noticeably wonky and they both use the same denim

Thanks for the info Flash! I think I definitely need a pair of the '46's. I'm not a fan of tight hips or waist so the 46 seems like a much better fit. I need to go on a hunt to see if I can get some measurements.

LOL, pretty sure he'll survive Ed.

Besides, that Flash's "Inside" Conners/Flat Head/Vans outfit.  He changes when he steps across the threshold

and a nice example of the wonky stitching caused by the hand folded seams

Type 1 denim jacket mate

[nycsurfer530]

Nice! I was looking at that before I settled on the warehouse type 1. Price is what swayed me. Would be cool to see the differences between the two.

[goodrain]
