Denim looks real nice, what was the weight again?

13-13.5 oz.

[Broark]

Another type II just popped up, this time in a larger size (44).
The body length would never work for me, but I'd love if someone here was able to make it work.

Looks good @Broark and sizing looks good for me but must resist!!

Deffo on the shorter size for a 44 @ 58.5cm - can see it won't work for you extra tall folk though Austin

[MJF9]

^^ what year are the jackets from? Were they when Ooe went direct? Apologies if it's been said above!

I believe this run was in 2017, they made them specifically for commonori products, which is defunct. I got lucky and swapped my 38 for a gently worn 40. It is a shorter body jacket for sure but I love it. Would recommend if the measurements track. It runs a bit small but not as small as their jeans. The chest feels closer to true to size but shoulders, arm opening and body length are all on the small end of expected.

@AlientoyWorkmachine thanks for the intell... and you know this now calls for fit pics if you have any to hand they would be welcomed

I’ll try to get one soon. Now that I think of it, since you have a ranch jacket I’d compare the fit to the ranch jacket one size down. Ie my 38 ranch feels pretty similar to the 40 OA, but the OA sleeves are narrower.

That didn't last too long. So who bought it?

Hit me up if it doesn't work out might need to clear some closet space

[ATWM]

@MJF9 here - it’s sweltering right now so not actually wearing this now, but hopefully again soon. FC0105 super smooth on the bottom, the best summer jeans I’ve found.

Rare Ooe Yofukuten wabash railroad, so glad I was able to get this. It’s lightweight and so easy to wear.

[scooby]

Whose got some worn XX4 denim to show off?

[ATWM]

^working on it, but it's gonna take awhile due to both my life and the denim itself. 

[blomstr]

Mine are at the tailor getting hemmed. I plan on putting them back into my rotation once they are home.

It's the "dull" version though.

[super-thermite]

@AlientoyWorkmachine aren't the SS the best summer jeans though?! 😉 Love mine too.

[olmecasteve]

Nothing crazy on my pair yet. 

[sgs]

Hi all excited to join the OOE with a pair of 03s I just in from Tokyo Denim! Wondering if all of these lose threads are normal for this pair, I’ve never seen this on other jeans. Thanks! 

[shredwin_206]

@sgs yea that’s part of the wwii repro. They even went as far as to repro some of the qc issues of the war time era. 

[sgs]

@shredwin_206 thanks I had a suspicion that might be the case. Now I just need to get these bad boys hemmed and wear the crap out of them. Hope to have some progress shots in a few months!

Alas the Ooe type 2 did not work out

The measurements on the actual jacket were significantly less those quoted by the seller - hence it doesn't fit me.  Yahoo seller said shoulder 53.5 cm - it's 4cm less.  And chest is 2cm less than quoted. Annoying but you pay your money and take your chances.

Lovely jacket though!!!  And it is now up for grabs.  I'll post it on the sales thread and it's up on Grailed - however do DM me to discuss costs!!  There is a write up on it here

Actual sizing (it looks like it's been washed already, tagged as 44)

• Pit to Pit - 59.5cm
• Shoulders to seams - 49.5cm
• Arm outside - 59.5cm
• Length 58.6cm

Would fit me based on the numbers but who needs another Type 2 jacket?! 

[ATWM]

Having found one that fits me I’d say it’s a worthy redundancy! It’s a shorter cut than any of my others, that alone differentiates it.

Slept on it and thought about the jacket all day lol, I just dm'd you.

Will get around to proper photos some day, but wanted to mark my 2 years with this pair. About one hour of wear per day, around 4 washes
