Finally got my gf to take some better photos, these are postsoak!

 

50's - love this cut, probably #1 of all my jeans so far.

60's - need to stretch a little, or maybe it's just me.. not used to slimmer cuts lol, what do you guys think?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[big truck]

Not that much slimmer, maybe a bit tighter in the top block and on the ass? 50s looking good though.

[redragon]

 

Like the first cut better, red tab on the 2nd pair seems abit excessive no?

[rustygoose]

60's are tight around hips, legs are fine.. i hope they will stretch to a good fit.

 

& i agree, red tab stands out a bit too much, but it doesn't bother me.

 

Wear & washes will change the tab to look better hehe

The 60's look fine and will stretch out nicely, the 50's look just about perfect right now, kudos.

Just wondering if anybody has any experience with the brand Sassafras? Do they have a website or storefront in Japan?

[ranonranonarat]

i've been watching sassafras for a while now but have a bit of trouble locating an official store of sorts. they make some nice pants but seem to sell out real quick if anything.

[rustygoose]

Just wanted to say 60's stretched out nicely, took it too the extremes today..

 

managed to get the jeans to 92cm/36.2in waist, looks/feels much better now !

Picked up TCB Seamen Jumper, been on the back of my mind for sometime....

 

 

Quite surprised by the denim bag it comes in with. Classy stuff! 

 

Fabric is very nep-py, irregular but soft and light (12oz I think) , Great character.

 

Favorite details: Button and the hand-painted sizing.

 

Fits quite large for a 36 (usually size 38).

 

Overall very satisfied with the purchased! 

[Double 0 Soul]

Looks marvelous, fits great, any chance of some sizes?

[redragon]

 

^

It comes in size 34, 36, 38 and 40.

Do you mean the sizing chart?

[Double 0 Soul]

I would probably go for a 38,  if i can have the pit to pit, collar to hem, shoulders and sleeve. For the 36?

No rush when you get 5.

[redragon]

No problem.

Here you go:

Pit to pit - 49

Collar to hem - 65 (not sure if I measure this correctly though)

Shoulders - 44.5

Sleeve - 62

Ya, seems like a cryptic brand (I read a story about the brand on a stockists website)...even searched Yahoo Japan and didn't find anything.

So out of interest I had a look in the local denim place and there looking at me was a pair of Nylon in my size. After seeing Capsicums pair I just had to get them. Thankfully my manly charm worked and she was open to bartering, so walked away with an unexpected purchase that I was happy with. I'm assuming that they are WWII's, but fit quite slim but with a stretch in the thigh/groin they'll be perfect.

They need a hem, but as they're in the queue no rush.

[schmallo15]

^^ Congrats on a great pickup!  Terrific pair to have in the collection. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yes, definitely some WWII jeans. At least from all those details I'm seeing

New denim vest by TCB:

[Sugar Mountain]

What really makes that picture is the model's grimace.

"Nnnnnnnnngggghh! I can't hold this invisible anvil for much longer..."

[aho]

^re: TCB, it might be worth it to save your money if you've also been in the market for a Type 2 in the next month....

 

[volvo240thebest]

Here's our favorite Japanese model sporting the above mentioned type II (and a milder facial expression, unfortunately!)

Sweet looking jacket!

[Megatron1505]

Clearly the model is a "sleeves on" kinda guy.
