How do the new jackets fit? 

 

From the measurements, they seem to run a little large?

[Left Field]

def not large, but not JP sizing. Jackets up. 54 pieces in both colors. 

@spork Jonny says 2" 3 times, have to fold nice and clean though to keep them tight.

Hi @LeftField,

A few years ago you had some rainbow speckled jeans.

Will they be reproduced in the future.

Thanks

I saw your post on Instagram (http://instagram.com/leftfieldnyc) about the break in.  Do you guys have any updates?  Seems like they were super determined since it looks like they literally broke through a wall to get in.

Darn, was hoping they might run a bit large for a bigger guy like me. I wear a 46R suit coat but my other jackets might measure closer to 48". Not sure the XL would work ...

@kc  nothing, I put a reward notice outside on the dumpster. Detectives showed up and didn't even bother to look behind the bent sheetrock to notice that the came thru the mailbox hole next door. NYPD's finest.  We thought originally it was one of the landlords workers and they had the key to get in. They ripped out the internet cables on the wall and thought they might have opened the wall looking to find the box. 

@pchoden def do one bigger size next run. Not sure if we are doing unlined,  or new linings yet though. 

@Sigur those were a Cone denim experiment that wasn't ever suppose to hit the market they thought the fill was too rough on the skin. They had tweed looking colored slubs in the weft. They had enough of the weft yarns(yarn mill went under during the recession) to make 800 yards and when the recession hit they sold off all the experimental fabrics cleaned out the warehouse and tossed the yarns. I wasn't a happy camper!

I got my Mule Skinner Denim Jacket earlier this week. Tough decision about which size to get, the Large felt a lil bit too big but I could easily layer my hoodie underneath but I decided to go with the Medium to have a tighter more classic look. The lining on this is amazing, super thick and soft and in my picture looks really white but actually more of a light cream, a vintage dead stock look. No plans on soaking as the Nihon Menpu denim is already sansforized. I plan on taking measurements after a week or so more of wear to see how it streches out.

 

 

 

 

 

and here is a teaser of my Kaiharas

And because no one has posted pictures yet of their hoodies, heres a quick snap and my favorite zipper I have seen in awhile.

Great pics, Not Too Tight!

 

What are your measurements? I ordered the indigo skinner in medium after spending a while debating between that and a small, so I'm hoping I dig the fit.

[Left Field]

@notto tight great picts thanks for sharing. 

Just wanted to wish everyone a prosperous and healthy New Year and as always thanks for your support we wouldn't be here without you! Christian

We're doing a fade contest over at /r/goodyearwelt and I entered my Kuroki Greasers - thought I'd post my pics here, too.  At the same time, we're also doing a wear contest for suede/roughout footwear, so I entered my suede Tricker's.  ALBUM.

 

@LF - I saw the terrible news about the break-in - what a bunch of scumbags!  Hopefully, insurance will make things whole again, soon!  I'm also looking to cop a pair of the 2nds Caramel Miner Chinos.  My 36 Kuroki Greasers fit great - think a 34 in the Caramel Miners would be appropriate, since they're running +2?  Thanks!

[satchelbmoore]

^^ Greasers look great. If i had a contest of all my jeans, my kuroki chelseas would win hands-down! good luck!

Thanks!  My Kuroki Greasers are my best fitting jeans, and I'll gladly violate my office's BC dress code to wear them during the week.

The first and third photo are definitely the most accurate, other 2 are a little washed out.

for those who own the sweats and have washed them - do they shrink back to their original size? i really dig these pants, but they have stretched a bit more than i would have liked. haven't washed them yet, but plan to soon.

[guthriegking]

I always throw mine inside out in the wash and wash them on hot then throw them in the dryer on hot as well and they seem to shrink back to the original size, but they do stretch back out within the day basically. I honestly wouldn't worry about them shrinking too much. Not really sure how anyone else has been washing their pairs but thats my 2 cents.

[altoclefchris]

Damn, that really sucks about the break in! I hope everything turns out alright for you guys.

[Left Field]

The waist band is a rib so it will stretch, hot dry should return them back to the original size. One thing to note is when you're taking a piss don't pull them down tied in the front, make sure you untie so it doesn't stretch them out going over the hips. I took out about 4" this season in the waist from last season to note as well. C

too true. I've noticed mine stretch in the waist the most just from untying them to go to the bathroom and not so much from extraneous activity. 

@konadog i would consider these a stretch to fit. At least that's my experience with the previous run that I have. I dig the more classic fit I have with my mediums right now, but i definitely could have done a small. They shrink a noticeable amount, but stretch back out in a day or even a couple hours, depending on your activity.

It's been ages since I updated for the sweats contest, and I intend to do a rather annoyingly long update pretty soon, but for now I figured I'd share my excitement over my Christmas present to myself; the Indigo crew neck sweatshirt. Now I have a full indigo sweat suit a la @Jyoni and @satchelbmoore . Now I just need to dive into choctaw ridge and I can have a full suit of indigo everything from head to toe...underwear included.

Anyways, here are some pics of my old sweats vs new crew neck!

Nice, Formula!

 

Does anyone have any experience with sizing the Flight Jacket? Do they fit true to size? The measurements on the website lead me to believe that they may run a little large. For reference I'm 5'10, 150lbs with about a 37" chest. I fluctuate between a small and a medium for most stuff, but my shoulders sometimes push me up into the medium range.

 

I'd like to be able to fit a hoodie or something underneath for super cold days.

 

 

Also, I received the new indigo denim mule skinner jacket in the mail today. I love it -- not too stiff, fits great, solid construction, and the twill lining is super soft. It's really a beautiful jacket, and It'll be awesome to see how it fades.

[Automated Response]

Anyone know if the waist on the selvedge duck miners, or any of their chinos, may be taken in? Assuming that since they don't have a split waistband, this is a no-go. 

[pkwd]

Hi guys, happy holidays. I'm selling a pair of never worn Kuroki Mills size 32 Greasers. Andrew himself hemmed them to a 34 length.

 

see link here for more info. 

 

Sorry for clogging up the forum, but figured I would give you all a heads up about this, considering these aren't available anymore. 

 

[pudaspriest]

some fit pics of the mule skinner jacket. Really digging the jacket! Especially love the lining, it has an amazing texture to it.

Those are some serious butt fades @Formula Pfaff. I still can't believe you kind of have whiskers forming.

 

I really need to update as well. I keep meaning to do it on weekends and things get in the way. I had a bunch of pics of me wearing them in both my moves across country but seem to have lost them. Oh well

Dig the fit - how did you size the jacket?

[pudaspriest]

went for the xl, I am 6'2" and about 200lbs. Sleeves are a bit long but it fits very nice everywhere else.

[Left Field]

@Formula nice picts, where'd you find the Indigo crew? Getting close to the final stretch on the sweatpant contest so everyone involved bust them out, perfect timing it's fucking freezing in NYC. 

 

@pudas fits you well! the lining is a heavyweight JP tartan twill. Similar to what they used to make the old work shirts out of like 5 brothers. The majority of new tartans or flannels are plain weave running straight up vs a twill more  running on a diagonal which is much stronger like denim.
