or give first dibs to MJF9.... I thought my luck was in... only to be dashed...

Don't get me wrong these are comfy and I will surely enjoy them

@Alec Leamas you'd be in good company mate... as I've got a cupboard full of pumps from @Maynard Friedman, @Geeman, @Double 0 Soul, @Flash and possibly others I've forgotten about!!

Interesting how you feel about the sizing of the Flying Bs @Alec Leamas, my experience is quite different.
I'm a US 12 in most shoes / sneakers, sometimes an 11.5 in boots. It's been years since I've worn Cons but I think I took an 11.5 in the 70s.
My two pairs of Flying Bs are size 12 and they feel great.

I find the sizing label a bit confusing. On mine (70s Chucks) it says 10.5 and UK 10.5, which is EUR 44.5 and 29cm.
So the US size should be 11.5. In another pair I'm half a size larger which is more comfy, so US 12 and UK11.
In boots I'm mostly US 10.5.

I got the info, that the 50s sneakers by Dapper's and Cushman fit small. One should size up at least half a size from the Chuck's size, so that would be 12 or 12.5, which is not available.

Yeah that is a bit strange, usually US sizing is roughly one tagged size larger than UK.
It's been a handful of years since I've worn any Cons, but if I recall correctly my 11.5 felt a little snug in the width.

The consensus is to size down for Converse, right? Brogue said to take your Converse size for the Flying B and size up if you are a half size. It sounds like this may have not been the best advice

Ha, well, these are two reasons shoe sizing is so specific to the individual right?!

Now I've spent another day in the Flying B's I'd say the size is perfect. I think I was just surprised given the significant difference in a 9 in the side gore boots and a 9 in these!

@l13902733261 love the new zip cardigans. Obviously love the new Leather Togs jacket too but never been able to stretch to that, nor do I actually know whether I'd suit wearing a leather jacket or enjoy it in real life. But they sure do look nice.

Thanks for sharing!

The 750 is absolute perfection, one day i'll pull the trigger 

[Broark]

I reached out about the Leather Togs lot 762 but it was sold out in my size.
Then I saw the measurements on the Brogue blog, I’m convinced this brand isn’t really cut for anyone taller than 6 ft. 
Whenever I do decide to get a leather jacket I think I need to be able to try it on in person first.

[Broark]

Anyone have experience with the wool Cossack jacket?
Just curious how heavy the wool is, I've always liked this style of jacket but it's always felt a bit unnecessary for where I live.
I know wool can vary quite a bit though.

I have no experience, but I have always liked the style too - and of course been very drawn to theirs. I do know the models vary year to year, this one looks to be a touch lighter and is a nylon & wool blend - I don't know if that's always the case?

[Alec Leamas]

Update on my lot 203 jeans - had these a number of years now.

Been daily "do everything" jeans for a while recently (since I effectively dropped out of the WMJ contest as a preference for a wider leg came around again)

They've become a tiny bit too short for current preferences, but still get a lot of wear despite that.

My enjoyment of these has led me to consider picking up a pair of 126.

[Lorcan]

Those are looking great Alec!

[Alec Leamas]

Thanks man! These were my first true made in Japan repro jeans - bought them from Vintage Showroom in London in 2021 (I think) but then put them down for a few years for various reasons.

Missed a shot of the hbt pocket bags that are also fading nicely so I'll add that tomorrow.

[SLAYER]

Flying B's came in 

Due to the shape of the toebox the fit is so much better than converse, which i never wear because they are just to narrow...

Sizing is pretty similar 

Flying B's US10

Chuck 70 US9.5

Format issue

[Alec Leamas]

@SLAYER Niiiiice! I agree on the better shape - like I said above I can't even manage 5 minutes in Converse, these are now really comfy!

Did you pick anything else up or just the sneaks?

Just the sneaker, moving tomorrow, so that eats my money currently 

[Thicolas Rage]

Sorry if this a common question, but what’s the best way to acquire from At Last/Butcher? 
 

seeing the items posted here and @Alec Leamas fits has me interested. 

[Alec Leamas]

@Thicolas Rage - it is common question, but I'm no less happy to try and provide a helpful answer.

They release a catalogue twice a year I believe (S/S & F/W) - and they also release core items and limited items around and amongst that - the best way to keep up with that is find either Japanese or Korean fans on IG and follow them to see what they're picking up.

Then, you order direct from Timeworn via email - really simple process - you ask for what you're interested in, and if it's in stock they'll generally process your order ~24 hours and then ship via EMS.

It's an odd little process but I like how anti consumerism it feels in a way (though there's a limit to that obviously given the amount of time I spend looking at new and used pieces online!)

For their core denim (147, 161, 162, 126 etc) it's pretty much always in stock, but a lot of stuff appears once or twice a year and gets snapped up pretty quick. 

[Thicolas Rage]

@Alec Leamas thanks for detailed info! Certainly more work than buying from somewhere like Bears but also not as difficult as I expected.

I’ve never had the chance to mail-order something so could be fun! Agreed on the amount of time I spend researching…definitely hard to explain to others that I can spend an evening looking at denim online. 

the 147 cut looks like it could be right my alley with the wider leg and narrower hips.

At Last & Co Lot 343 Wool Shirt 

First item from the brand, ordered through the mail order and it arrived today, usually the brand's shirts are small for my build based on the size charts from brogue, but they told me they had one with a 19.5" shoulder which was about my exact measurement so I got lucky.

[l13902733261]

[SLAYER]

Does anyone know who produces their leather jackets? Also i assume these are horeshide, Shinki? whats on the tag?

[Alec Leamas]

I've started to ponder who does the production on all their items actually, but haven't come up with any answers yet.

This will be horsehide I'm sure!

[okimoto]

@SLAYER @Alec Leamas I may be mistaken but I believe they’re produced by the same people that make Freewheelers’ leather jackets

This is interesting! Where did you hear about this? And, do you know who that maker is??

[southofnonorth]

@Alec Leamas nice 203…

In my experience the 126 cut is quite different – straight with a narrow hip. I have a 30 in both, but given another opportunity I’d buy the 126 a size larger

Maybe I am misremembering and it is actually Freewheelers and Rainbow Country that share the same leather maker but I will see if I can dig it up.

[Lorcan]

Yeah FW and Rainbow Country are supposed to be the same factory (with FW tending to have more elaborate patterns/specs and higher prices). 
 

Never heard anything about At last, they’re pretty low key in general, that probably extends to anything about the production.

[southofnonorth]

Anyone else notice any significant price increases with this collection? I put in an order for a pair of the U-tip shoes, which are ¥140,000 compared to ¥87,890 when I last bought them. Albeit, I bought them from Timeworn in Japan last time.
