^ fantastic find. This is one of my favorite items that I have. If I ever found another in my size I’d get it again just for backup.

Got lucky a couple weeks ago and found this CR07. It was listed without measurements on mercari, but I couldn't pass it up; the first and only one I've seen in months of regular searching, and it's got almost no wear to boot.

It’s a lovely jacket and the fact it used to belong to Ronaldo makes it even more special!

Thanks guys, it is indeed handsome. @ATWM I owe you special thanks, your comparison to the cut of the sugar cane 1953 gave me confidence in buying despite the lack of measurements. You were spot on, the shoulders are sloped and the armholes are a bit small, it feels like its one size bigger than my SC, which is a 38. 

@Maynard Friedman As an american who has no interest in soccer, you're lucky that didn't go right over my head 🤣   

If you mentioned the price to a, uh, "layman" they might believe you!

OA has some interesting info on this upcoming denim on their blog as well: link here.
I think this was recently being discussed in the vintage jeans thread, but they're using the linear yard measurement to calculate the weight of the fabric.
Might try these out, not sure at the moment. I'd like to see some better quality photos first.

Yes, interesting fact.
They're writing, that 9oz in the old linear yard standard equals 11.6oz in loomstate and 12.75oz once sanforized.
So the 10oz that is on the Levi's labels would translate to 12.9oz and 14.17oz resp..
