tbh when i saw at last jeans irl for the first time at the old vintage works (warehouse?) store in london the one thing that made me decide not to buy them despite everything else being almost perfect, cut, sizing, style, was the flimsy, overly shiny, cheap looking buttons, especially the top one. it was the lee repro one (cant remember the number) and the buttons were even gold plated (makes it look even cheaper). 

aint that right, @bartlebyyphonics, we had a yarn about this during your pleasant london denim shops & museums slackadaisical strolling tour back in 2018 (it's free! contact him! :P)

so sorry to be so late to reply:

the strolling was lovely

the store was ‘the vintage showroom’: no longer bricks and mortar post pandemic unfortunately (found my 50s oshkosh bib overalls there)

the buttons were shite indeed…

we also saw and giggled goggled at csf at clutch cafe…

@smoothsailor I think the 161, 162 and 147 are standard items they have in regularly. Best to shoot Isao an email to see what stock they have. Have you got his email address? I can pass it across if not mate

@smoothsailor - the recently released 306 is like the 147 but no cinch and a bit of taper.

Yet to share more images here as I had the back and forth with buttons falling off etc but I have them back now so will share soon!

Finally a few fit pics of the 306.

They’re taking a while to settle, given the weight of the denim I don’t think that’s a surprise.

I like these so far!

I have put them through an initial 40 degree wash prior to hemming and also a 60 degree wash after hemming. Little to no shrinkage happened on that second wash.

I’ll grab some final settled measurements at some point soon.

Raw and post initial wash was:

Raw

Waist: 43cm
Front rise: 34cm
Back rise: 43cm
Thigh: 34cm
Inseam: 91cm
Leg opening: 22cm

Washed

Waist: 40cm
Front rise: 33cm
Back rise: 41cm
Thigh: 33cm
Inseam: 86cm
Leg opening: 21.5cm

Adding 2 more images in next post as image limit hit.

Thank you @Hopethisoneisnttaken!

Haha - well, it actually doesn't bother me. I wear trousers / jeans / shorts with a rise like that all the time now, so it seems comfortable for me. Probably a body size / shape and jeans top block interaction thing - I do remember it feeling uncomfortable at first a few years back though.

I've worn my Full Count 0105's a little bit recently and I actually find the rise odd and too low now.

Has anyone ever brought a suit from TWC ?

or if anyone has seen one in person, what’s the quality and price like on them ?

Isao said he hasn't got a price for this seasons suit, so just wanted a ball park price.

 

thanks !!

Particularly like this jacket and shirt combo but there's a lot of good stuff in this new collection!

I grabbed this shirt a week or two ago. Really like it. Got a couple of older shirts from them like this and this season's have larger pockets, and really nicely placed.

Pearlescent buttons are pretty sweet too.

These shots were pre-wash - it has shrunk a bit after washing but I went gently with a 30 degree wash, should be okay I think.

Lovely bit of sufu image flipping too! 😂

I got the pullover denim jacket and the matching field trousers from this Spring Summer collection.  Really pleased with them. Sorry for the messy backdrop.

@irual that looks great on you, which size is the pullover? I’ve gotten it as well and a 38 fits me more generously. Thinking of sending it off to have the length taken in along with my 161 and 712 overallsIMG_0569.thumb.jpeg.6d520d88f703c631efb787af5e39cd05.jpeg

Thanks @okimoto, it is a size 46. I think a more generous fit would look great too with this style. I am 193cm tall so the biggest size was really the only option. I would not mind to get a couple of cm’s extra for the sleeves but still works and I am not bothered about it.

Looks lovely mate - what's the deal with those buttons? They removable for laundering??

Cheers Alec... yeah they're secured by a split ring so are removable for washing... got a few other jackets with the same set up
