I’m surprised no-one has snapped up these W33 Kyotos for an attractive price. I can’t quite tell from the photos but they look nearly new.

Are the Kyotos pretty low rise and narrow through the thighs? These actually should fit my waist and inseam, but I fear that the rise and thigh would be too tight for me.

Yeah, the Kyoto is rather slim. Has similarities to the Resolute 710.

I am still searching for a W36 in this cut because of the slimmer nature.

[yung_flynn]

That makes sense. I just looked at Bear's measurements for Resolute 710 and they are very similar for a given waist. Resolute 710 is actually even 2 cm higher rise, 0.5 cm wider in thigh, and 1 cm wider in leg opening. I'm concerned that even the Resolute would be too tight for my frame, so the Kyotos are a no-go for me.

I did end up snagging a Denime 232 jacket from Celluloid to solve my Type 2 fix. It was a hard choice over WH 2002xx, but I figured that it was a good chance to try out Denime. In reality, it probably won't be hugely different from the 2002xx based on the Denime by Warehouse jeans - will probably grab a pair of 220a when back in stock or new 1954 when it arrives.

Damn, the patch on my 232 got absolutely toasted after the initial wash/machine dry.

[vIGGiou riou]

looks like my patch, but I used only 30 degrees wash and NO machine dry...

[frank]

Yeah, your patch actually looks super cool! I probably should've applied some Obenaufs to the patch before I wash/dried it...

My Kyotos in size 32 fit almost identically to Resolute 710 in 33. They are slightly lower rise and a little less tapered, though.

I really dig that look...on others 😅 it would probably bug me as well on my pairs

To make the shipping worthwhile, I also got this sweater. Extra long cuffs.

 

And some wear and tear on my blanket lined Type2

Does the sweatshirt have the Spalding like cuffs?
Looks like it.
Nice detail

Are you going to clean rivets with something like salt/vinegar paste?

Works like a charm!

@vIGGiou riou did your 101 arrive in the meantime?!

Are they Orizzonti or Shins?

[vIGGiou riou]

Hi Tilmann. Yes, of course they arrived. Picture I posted in start of April was my picture I did. They are Orrizonti era.... very nice piece. If RHT will do same evolution as my vintage Lee 101 Storm rider jacket, would be great.

They are now vacuumed in queue and waiting for theirs time to be worn...

Do you mean LHT @vIGGiou riou?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@vIGGiou riou doh! Totally forgot the pic you posted...
In case you don't like them, you can send them to me

My Denime 232 Type II arrived from Celluloid today. Here are the pre-wash measurements:

Size: 42

Pit-to-pit: 23"

Shoulder: 21.5"

Sleeve (shoulder seam to cuff): 27"

Body Length: 26.25"

Some quick photos in the pre-wash state, including fit are below. I will update with post-wash measurements and more detail shots when I get a chance (along with some macro shots of my other jeans hopefully).

Same thing happened to mine after a machine wash and dry - very warped and jerkied (actually not quite as bad as it looked at first glance)..

Here is the 232 post wash and dry. Fabric is still very stiff and relatively smooth with a small amount of coarseness by hand. Color has a grey cast. Size is 42.

Pit-to-pit: 21.8" (5% shrinkage)

Shoulders: 19" (12% shrinkage)

Sleeve (shoulder seam to cuff): 25.25" (7% shrinkage)

Length (back collar to hem): 24.2" (8% shrinkage)

Sleeve length here makes me question whether I could make the TCB No.2 jacket work with 1.5-2" shorter half shoulder + sleeve length
