Yup, on March 15th.

oh snap. those new sc shirts are hot.

isn't that derreck?

Kiya, this might be a stoooopid question (don't hate, I HAVE searched, both the Selfedge site and here), but I wonder how you measure the thighs. Straight from the crotch to the outside or lower?

I have compared with other online shops (for example BiG) and my impression is that your thigh measurements are always smaller. Take for instance the Skull 50-10xx 6x6 in a size 30. On BiG's site the thigh is 11.5", on yours is 11". That's one whole inch in total and would be a dealbreaker for me and my thick thighs.

The reason for this question is that I'm planning to buy a pair of Imperial shearers soon, but I'm afraid a size 31 (my true waist) will be too tight in the thigh, even though the model is supposed to be comfortable in the upper half and fitted from the knee down.

I'm not abnormal or anything, just athletic.

[kiya]

mandel9000,

We measure the thigh ~1" down from the crotch straight to the outside of the leg. We remeasure many of the jeans when we get new shipments in to assure we're displaying up to date size charts.

Thanks! Good news, will buy a pair of shearers then.

Are the sleeves on both of these shirts short or is that dude just wearing a shirt that's too small?

It's a combination of him being tall and also the sleeves on ALL Japanese shirts being shorter than what westerners are used to.

[tomatous]

One of the reasons I cannot wear any of them

My wingspan is like 9 feet (

I was thinking about getting some of the SC shirts on Hinoya but now that I know the long sleeves have short arms I might just have to go with short sleeve ones.

^ I've been through a few SC shirts. I find on the whole that the large western style ones are a great fit, but going large in the work shirt style (to get the right arm length) means wearing a tent.

I think the Flathead fit rocks best. 42" is a brilliant fit on me - nicely fitted and perfect arm lengh.

What are your measurements, no homo?

[monook]

edit: oh duh.

[bustinxjustin]

Look a few posts above yours... Geeze!

[The Reptile House]

What are your measurements, no homo?

40" chest, 34" waist, 15" neck. Arm length I need 21" from pit to end of cuff, to feel that a shirt fits right.

The Flathead cut is really flattering on me, but I have a couple of SC western shirts that meet requirements.

My last large SC work shirt is on ebay, but I really wish I'd sold them all on here.

Quick question Kiya:

I noticed on my fh wallet that the metal attachment on it is very, slightly wobbly, i can see it's imprint on the leather underneath it. I never really noticed it before and was wondering if this is normal? I haven't really worn it vigorously (I think), but because it's so slight i thought it could just be how it is - i just wanted to make sure.

Thanks
