looks great! Would love to see it with an Oxford and colorful Shetland.

That sounds interesting - kind of like a less Ivy/Gorp version of a Rocky Mountain Featherbed vest

Perfect fit - the shoulder and upper chest areas are key

Yeah... though I won't have enough space under the chore... however the other way round I will... an unlikely combo though!

Does anyone know if the one pocket c1890s jeans are in the same denim?

Not sure, not a ton of info out there on them yet. They did mention that one pair was made with the same Amoskeag "Gold Medal" denim, which is the same as the vest I believe.
And your fit pics have been selling me on the vest! Maybe I'll be a vest , sorry, sleeveless outing coat guy yet.

[Broark]

Washed the WWII jeans last weekend, probably going to stash them away for a bit ahead of the WoM contest.
I've really enjoyed wearing this pair so far, might be my all time favorite cut from OA.

My OA01XX's bring a tear to my eye it's been so long since their last wash, so strong is their scent...I'll be sure to post them prior to storage (and of course a much needed wash) before the WoMcon!

[reallypeacedoff]

You mean "WoMBat" @aho?

[Word of Mouth Battle]

[LazyS]

SOA03XX with custom arcs from @Duke Mantee template! Thank you to @Broark for helping me track down a pair

[beautiful_FrEaK]

That came out great!

[wmb]

My first pair of 02XX  - I think purchase in ‘19

 

[MJF9]

Nearly there!

[fabes]

OA01s freshly washed and getting a rotation break for the WOM contest. 

[ATWM]

^ are these the xx4 denim? They look a good bit more crinkly/puckered than mine, which have been washed a solid 10-15 times now, but not tumble dried. Any tumbles on yours? 

Edited January 8, 2025 by ATWM

[fabes]

@ATWM yes the xx4 denim. I think I’m at 7 washes now, 4 with tumble dry. Roughly 6-7 months actual wear. 
 

This is the pair I ended up with after selling you the two sizes too small pair the vendor accidentally shipped me. 

[aho]

^Excellent progress! This is some seriously stubborn denim, at least compared to my other Ooe pairs. Will post mine once I receive the WOMCOM jeans. Mine have 4 washes at over two years of wear and they still have years of life ahead of them and still super dark.

Opposite - A bit fuller in the lower leg. If you want slimmer you want the 02 cut. But again, the difference is mostly in the lower leg. 

[Broark]

Yup, what @ATWM said is correct!

[aho]

Into storage with the start of #WOMCON:

OA01XX at 2.5 years, 5 washes, around 1-1.5hrs of dog walking wear per day only

Mostly shelving my 001’s for now, but still a lot of life left in the them. Probably close to a good year of wear at this point with quite a few washes and one or two tumble dries. The denim felt fairly crispy up until the first wash, at which point it just totally softened up and any honeycomb creases were essentially gone. Great jeans.  

[MJF9]

This lovely Ooe x Sunny Garden pre-war chore jacket landed yesterday (along with a few other items, it was a nice and busy day for post down my way 😉... a few more to come soon and then the intent is no denim buy for many years... honest gov)

Same pattern as the Railroad jackets Ooe did a few years ago i.e. "design is based on an old pre-war Chore Jacket; from the front, the sleeves are set-in sleeves; from the back, the raglan sleeves are split sleeves; A-line silhouette pattern with narrow shoulders and seamless hem, a fitting specific to a vintage jacket".  It's in the Amoskeag repro denim, the same as the vest, I mean Sleeveless Outing Coat.  Great jacket... I can see me wearing this a lot...

[Maynard Friedman]

Nice jacket @MJF9 but can you explain what a seamless hem is please? Sounds like an oxymoron to me!

[MJF9]

@Maynard Friedman no... but good Q Martin... I can say whatever it is, it's hanging together nicely ... the blurb in italics above was a quick cut and paste direct from IG translation of Sunny Garden's post here to add some words to the pics... but it's a good Q Martin so let's open the Q up to the Sufu massive... any insights folks?

[fabes]

I thought I read somewhere that there are no side seams, just the seam down the back. Could that be it and just lost in translation?

[srudy]

It’s just so good!
