Are you sure you registered on the global site? I did, and it didn't ask for my prefecture.

I was able to register this time through the US global site.  The initial coupon registration link is misleading unless you do it through the global registration.

I usually take SutoCorp as I simply write them a mail and they take care of the rest. How much is their fees and commission these days?

sutocorp are not replying to emails from superfuture since late 2016
consequently their official thread has been locked until overdue payments have been made.

Who makes a great 5-pocket cord?

Anyone? Right now my best option seem to be L.L.Bean or Patagonia. I need a straight / regular fit.

[Geeman]

Orslow do a cord I think 

[Maynard Friedman]

Lois used to make jumbo cords that were popular in the 1980s, Benetton too!

Not sure on the sizing of some of these but unionmade stocks a few cords from LVC and others. Sale going on coincidentally

Boncoura makes some nice looking corduroy 5 Pocket pants as well.

Don't know where you are located, but Orslow cord pants are on sale at Frans Boone Store:

Visvim makes them as well

Are there brands whose shirts would fit in between IH and TFH in terms of shoulder-to-chest ratio? IH fit me big, TFH workshirts are often a tad small in the chest.

I'm looking for some pictures of fades from natural indigo hank dyed jeans.  Anyone have any or can point me toward some?  I'm thinking of breaking out my pair but was hoping to see some examples before I started.

 

Thanks!

Here is Mike's SugarCane 40300 worn for 2 years.

Hank dyed denim is stubborn...usually the jeans desintegrate before you see strong fades

I'm just looking for anything with age to see a variation from new.  I know hank dyed won't age into high contrast fades.  I'm thinking of actually using a traditional machine wash and dry approach with these.  Blasphemy I know.

Whats your opinion on the evisu lazy s denim 13 0005

How is the sizing on Buzz Rickson made in USA tshirts (logo versions only, no blank tshirts)?

I've been looking for an all black converse style hi top sneaker that's not converse. I had a pair of the 70s but they just hurt my feet after a day of wearing. Anybody have any suggestions/recs?

[Geeman]

PF flyers sandlot?

I find these more comfortable than the 70s

Just placed an order with HebTroCo, in England. Will post some update when received.

[Maynard Friedman]

^ Looks like a good choice, I read this article on them ages ago:

those moleskine pants look great.. I might have to cop

[JDelage]

Only thing that worries me is the leg opening, which is small. We'll see.

All - is there an easy iPhone app to pixelate / hide a face on a picture?

I'm looking to get a new hoodie, preferably with a zipper that doesn't cost me a shitload like Iron Heart. I liked the McCoys one I tried on in Tokyo, but I'd like to hear about other solid choices before I bite the bullet.

What's your favorite hoodies? What should I check out?

 

[Geeman]

I have the ballpark hoody, real nice. I was also very impressed with the 3sixteen hoodie.  

[pudaspriest]

I have a barns zip hoodie and a mccoys one, like them both a lot but the rmc one is my favorite. One thing I don't like about the rmc is the pockets, but everything else about it is awesome. I haven't seen a deluxewear zip hoodie but from owning their crewnecks I would imagine they are pretty great.

long shot, any online retailers that carry Larry Smith but also ship to the US aside from Pancho and Lefty?

[Iron Horse]

Mr. Oldman through Rakuten?

I thought Larry Smith can take orders through email, though.

[gnu]

Thanks I'll check out Mr. Oldman. I'll email Larry Smith again too. When I emailed them a few months ago they were saying that they weren't shipping to US due to some distribution issue, but maybe thats changed.
