Unknown Japanese Brands

No updates—I’ve been told to sit tight while he “sketches”

[MJF9]

Y. M. Factory - not unknown any more but seems the best thread

Jumped on these t-shirts as I like the neck particularly and tried to buy before but failed

Too eager to pull the trigger - they're too big - in fact a little bigger than the chart

Anyone interested in them lemme know...

While I try to work out how I could use them (oversized summer t-shirt for good airflow???)... all ideas welcomed!

@MJF9 I'd be interested in real world measurements if you have the time, I've wanted to try these out but was concerned that the 42 might wind up a little small.

Is any shrinkage expected?

Anyone has experience with @woods_mountain(on IG)/ tatsunosuke? 
seems like a very small maker. He has an interesting interpretation of the military trousers I’m really considering. Supposedly they should be available again pretty soon.

@Hopethisoneisnttaken been following him for a little while, I like the Army trouser. Might try a pair out sometime.

Not off a 30C wash. In fact they come up a touch bigger than the chart. Not sure if a dryer would shrink them?

If interested, let me know mate and I can give actual measurements.

Thanks, MJF9 but the chart measurements would be a bit too loose on me.

Looking forward to those!

Has anyone tried out the Slash Overalls brand that Barnstormers recently started carrying? Their jackets look really appealing—the skewing & wrinkling is just about perfect

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I'm following him on IG. Agreed, it looks nice.

Just picked up a black denim wide pair from Phigvel.

^unsanforized Denim? lookin good

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Anybody else following Rockets on IG?

He seems to be doing a lots of repairs, offers his own jeans line and also does distressing (from what I gather).

Yep, they’re unsanforized.  Wore them yesterday for the first time.   Not too oversized. It’ll be interesting to see the shrinkage once I wash them.  It’s been years since I’ve worn unsanforized denim.

Any particular reason you’re not washing right away? Or are they washed already and I misinterpreted the whole situation

[mlwdp]

Nope they’re not washed.  That’s the thing, I’m debating on washing them now to get the shrink out or wearing them a few weeks and then wash to see what happens.  It’s been years since I’ve worn raw hence why I normally buy one wash.

[Jared_Lee]

@mlwdpraw, unsanforized only makes sense worn after wash. Properly sized for shrink, they shouldn't really fit right raw.

[Hopethisoneisnttaken]

^ I very much agree with that.

@beautiful_FrEaK did you buy Rockets yet? Been eyeing them for a while and realized you already posted about them earlier in this thread  Always impressed by his fades on IG, hard to tell even which is vintage vs. Rockets many times!

Anyone have experience with Unique Garments? (Not sure if this is the correct thread to post in, as they're an Australia-Japan brand...)

They’re on their way!!

[Lazerr]

@julian-wolf Those look neat! It’s a bummer that he’s not taking any orders right now. How was the ordering process for you? 

[julian-wolf]

@Lazerr It was very smooth. He was mostly responsive and helpful throughout the process, and seemed happy to take any suggestions for special details / customization (although I declined, for these). Sizing will be a bit of a toss-up, as he doesn't seem to have a realistic idea of how much the denim will shrink, and in stead suggested that the jeans would shrink uniformly by 10% in all dimensions. All the same, after some back and forth, I'm hoping that they should be a good fit.

@julian-wolf Appreciate the info! Looking forward to seeing how the measurements and denim look once they arrive.
