SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)

[Thanks_M8]

Or you go the whole diy route and learn complex-ish knitting for a sweater

to be fair: it's more fun to knit something complex, but buying them is the more comfortable option.

if you find a gaeltarra sweater, get it, those were my favorite, sadly shrunk mine...

I grew up in my moms knitted sweaters, she even knitted a winter football jersey. It was an economical decision to knit, and I guess she liked to do it to.

she made quite a bit of clothing for me and my sister and her self. Way before super fast fashion

Oh yes.. 'vintage' is just the name of the sufu thread. 

Can you point me in the direction of some fit pics @PrettyBoyTony .. their 30" is out of stock 

I'm looking for something, just a bit better quality that what one would buy on the highstreet without paying silly money for fashion branded bullshit.

I remember Duke buying a 'Rocky I' style Freewheelers sweat-suit but iirc it did have cuffs.. the pair i posted above^ are by Skims but some reviews say they're a bit lightweight..

edit- where is the best place to buy Loopwheeler for someone living in the UK? @Geeman .. any clues?

@Double 0 Soul Jackman might be worth checking out. I have several pieces from them and they're all quality.

[Double 0 Soul]

That's a great shout!

Size chart too and fit pics.. Thx

Weird can't seem to find fit picsm.. Pretty pricey though but I'm sure you could find cheaper direct from Japan. Funny I prob wear sweatpants a lot this time of the year but can never justify paying that much. Then again I don't wear sweatpants outside of the house. Even grabbing some milk I'd throw some jeans on 

[Double 0 Soul]

Yeah.. a bit more than i really want to spend.. I've just been looking at a pair of Remi Relief for £150 at Mr Porter.. they look decent enough but i'm not sure the cut is going to be loose enough for him.. but then, too loose with no inseam measurement and they could trail on the floor!

Some of the sweatpants on Mr P.. .. £3000 and they're indistinguishable from those at Sports Direct!

@Double 0 Soul they are anal about overeeas shipping, only way to buy from outside UK is via Amazon JP or Beams Plus via worldpay I think.

You can find Remi Relief that way as well

I always fancied one of these fisherman’s ganseys from https://www.flamboroughmanor.co.uk

they’re hand knitted from a single length of wool.. but because they’re a trad pattern they’re massively long in the body to keep you warm out in the North Sea..

I had thoughts of calling in and giving them my sizes and asking them to make me a shorter cut.

My mum is an expert knitter and I asked her to make me a jumper based on a Flamborough pattern last year. It took her the best part of a year to finish, it’s a very dense stitch. She shortened the pattern a lot to make a boxy fit for me, me being a boxy man. It’s a lovely jumper.

I got that impression.. Even within JP a lot of the goodies are in store colletion / not available on the site.

[Well27]

@Double 0 Soul, maybe Hansen Garment and the syles emir and eddy could be something of interest?

[Double 0 Soul]

Yep.. that's the style, shame the taupe are out in size S

[ATWM]

Jackman indeed makes great knits. I have a few sweatshirts from them but they're terry...if softness is the goal I'm not sure they're the best. Everything I've got from that them is 100% cotton whether it's waffle knit, dotsume, is really a pretty hearty, stiff-ish, burly weave - one day they may get soft but they feel like they'll take as long as a good pair of denim. The sweats included.

Great work by Mum... any fit pics?

Did she do the 5-needle^ ninja-knitting?

[Double 0 Soul]

Thanks for the help with the sweatpants everyone.. (i've never worn a pair so it's totally alien to me) i think i'm going to order the Remi's from Mr Porter (to get them in time for xmas) but size up to a Med to the fit he wants..

Mr P suggest taking your regular size which would be a Small and although their model looks great sized TTS.. it's not really the fit he's looking for.. Jackman share similar sizing to Remi and having inputed the boys vitals into their brilliant size guide they suggest a Med and looking at the models who share similar dimensions around the Japanese Remi stockists, they're wearing a Med too

I do like the Hansen Garment Emir and given a UK stockist / available sizing, i'd probably have chosen those.. maybe another time..

I hope now-big-mini-Soul isn't a lurker on Sufu otherwise he'll know it wasn't Santa who got it for him 🤞

I’ve not been on your sofa, you’ve never even invited me back to your house!

[Double 0 Soul]

I knew it was coming as soon as i posted it

[tjsma]

Here you go @MJF9

@Double 0 Soul It was a five needle job. At one point she brought it round to check the sizing and one of my kids pulled a needle out, which was slightly frightening. Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures of the jumper in progress. Here’s the last of the wool.

Nice!

She could probably take commissions for those.. if she needs a knitting-pimp, you know where I am

Two questions...

1) Has anyone ever ordered from New Deal in Japan? If so, how was the experience?

2) Have any US residents received something shipped via EMS from Japan in the past couple of months? The retailer said they use them to ship to US, but I've read that Japan Post isn't accepting shipments from them as of Aug. '25. 

TIA!

I had an EMS package from Japan a couple weeks ago. Delivered by USPS. Took about a week I think.

I'm looking for suggestions for wide belts (to wear with jeans) that are low profile and can be worn with thinner sweaters or less casual settings. I love my Tender belts, but they are definitely not low profile...

Maybe Tory belts would work for you? I don't have one myself, but I've considered them. Value seems reasoable for MiUSA from English Bridle

Tory Leather repeated – Front General Store

Front General Store and Horsesmarts are common places to get them.
