Huh, that’s interesting. I’ve never payed much mind to seller feedback on Mercari unless something seems too good to be true—it’s never felt like there’s much shadiness to need to watch out for—but now I’ve got my fingers crossed that the seller’s not just making fake listings. Worse comes to worst, I’ll get to see how good Buyee’s insurance / guarantee policy is in practice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

I don't think you've got anything to worry about in that respect.. their other 'sold' listing is a ¥3000 BR tee, it's too random and too low value to be (japanese) shady.

The previous seller had immaculate feedback, i can't figure out a reason why the sale has been passed over to a different seller but i'm 100% certain that it has.. there is a strong possibility that both sellers are the same person, with a different user name.. which is why i suggest keeping an eye out for the goodies which could be about to get listed.

I never paid much attention either.. it was just that i revisited a pair of green tab Hawaii i'd seen listed and when i checked the (low feedback) seller for a second time it was like early 2000s Toyo heavan!

What i thought was the most interesting.. was a random person has access to 80+ units of 25yr old stock, they must have owned a store because there was a lot of duplicates and the sizing was random so it wasn't a personal collection up for sale.

I think that you're right. That seller had a new listing appear this morning for the green tab Hawaii in w33.

Wow!

I'm either

1) Right

2) Derek Acorah

or

3) They're watching us..

[exaptavist]

Well, under that identity they now at least have '1' feedback!

and "Approval Identification" it appears too, holding fingers crossed!

[Ciabatta]

Any idea when these will be released?

[tooth]

@Ciabatta according to Toyo, spring 2025… Barnstormer has them available for preorder currently and states arrival as June 2025. Who knows if there will be delays, though.

^ Do we know anything about the 1945 jeans cut compared to the 1943 or 1946?

^ Couching my post as someone here may have more accurate and informed info than me… below is my own visual comparison between the s43 and 46 that I own / have been wearing for the past year and comparing that to the fit pics of the s45 at Toyo.

I haven’t seen measurements for the s45 posted anywhere. A few months ago I reached out to Barnstormer re: measurements and asked if they had any idea and they said they didn’t.

With that, and I could be way off here, but judging by the fit at the Toyo link below it looks like the s1945 are full in the top block and thighs with a slight taper from the knee down. The s43 is pretty straight and full throughout and the 46 has slimmer top block and thighs with slight taper from knee down.

I have both the s43 and 46 and looking at the pics the s45 appears to merge those 2 cuts, but again, that’s just me making a visual comparison based on the fit pics at Toyo along with how the 43 and 46 fit me…

In any case, I’m looking forward to seeing actual measurements and since I haven’t that what’s really been keeping me from preordering.

Thanks tooth.  Good description of the 1943 and 1946, which I also have.  Makes sense that the 1945 would be a blend of the two, but we'll have to wait to see.

[Maynard Friedman]

I think I’ll wait for the 1944…

Re the new SCSC 1945 jacket v 1943 jacket

S1945 jacket will be little slimmer than S1943 that is in the pit to pit.

S1945 sleeves are little shorter than S1943.

But S1945 shoulder is little wider than S1943

[MJF9]

There's also the '42 jeans coming up @JohnM @tooth 😉 oh and @Maynard Friedman 😁

I stay with the same size. Don't think they would vastly differ from the both other models

First half of '44 or second half?

^ June hopefully Maynard.  Quality slipped slightly by July.

This is funny. Model years aside, the denim they created for the s43 and 46 are vastly different from each other. I'm looking forward to seeing how the denim on the s45 and whatever other models they come out with is like and hope it's equally as good and interesting. Overall, the 46 has become one of my favorite pairs that I've ever worn.

[MJF9]

@tooth how are your '43s looking now? I've been wearing mine recently... really like 'em... get the impression they'd fade reasonably quickly...interested in hearing your experience 

[tooth]

@MJF9 they've probably seen 30 days of wear, so not too much happening. My 46 on the other hand are really coming along (in my opinion anyway... I'm a loyal member of the slow-fades club). The 43 may become my daily pair after the 46. We'll see, there are some other pairs in my closet that are in the running for the daily pair, so the 43 may just continue to be in the weekend rotation, but I really enjoy wearing them.

Okay so I caved and set up a stock notification on the S1945 jeans - I'm clearly craving a war model at the moment.

Laughing to myself about me being so certain on not buying other jeans this year 😂

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I think you would be safer to buy from the stores offering a pre-order. 

Also Sugarcane won't sell directly to you. You would need a proxy which makes the whole buying slower

[Alec Leamas]

Great info thank you, I’ve bought from Toyo before via proxy but hadn’t factored in the limited run issues!

Dare I ask who offers pre-orders on this line?

I used BEARS but Barnstormers had a pre-order page open. Dunno if all spots are taken though
