sonofa.... OK, now I am really jealous! BTW, I just noticed that the coin pocket on the Efelts matches the back pocket. Very cool.

Eltopo.... :eek:

We the people demand fit pics!!!! Immediately!!!

Fantastic pick-ups man!

[onehundy]

Any one here have any experience with julian boots?

[danomagazine]

These are my Rising Sun Standards after 5 months of (nearly) daily wear and one lukewarm soak.

I sized down 2 sizes, so the stress on the buttons created some interesting fading.

^ interesting stitching on the coin pocket.

I love the duck waist lining. That denim also looks really nice. I would love to see some pics of worn in black smiths. I saw plenty of nice ones at the book release party, but never could snap a pic of them.

Fit pics for all you chumps.

RNR, what's your opinion on the Lofgren vest. I was thinking about pickin' one up. With regard to size, I wear a 38 - do you say their sizing would put me at a S?

Thanks!

[danomagazine]

This is what I found on my computer, these were taken almost two months ago. They fit slimmer than they normally would since I sized down two from my size. I can take some better fit pics tomorrow morning when the light is nice.

whats the difference between their standard and black smiths regarding the denim?

I believe the vests come in regular chest sizes. I am about a 39 to 40in measured chest and I have the size 38 in the two vests that I own. Maybe you should go for a 36. Maybe email john and see what he has to say. He is usually pretty good with sizing.

[Rivet Head]

Most vests are measured lower on the torso than shirts or jackets...typically a few inches smaller. I normally wear a 44L suit jacket and I took the 42 Lofgren vest.

[marineabilly]

Right on, Matty - Thanks! What's your take on the vest?

Thanks RNR - the vest looks great...esp with the RS jeans, but what about the quality, etc? You have both colors?

Do you guys recommend it?

I'm trying to change my buying habits from quantity to quality, so I'm trying to figure out if i should get this or the duck/blue RS vests.

Thanks guys!!

I'm pretty sure they both use the same standard denim that RS typically uses on all of their cuts. I have seen both cuts also offered in organic denim in the past year, but all of those are gone now.

Ya for the most part they all use the same denim and they make small runs with something different, like that organic selvedge or a japanese denim.

I just checked out the Miner's Pants on the Orvis site. When I see the wear/fading in the photo and read that "these men's remarkable work pants are subjected to a heavy vintage wash for a thoroughly broken-in look and feel" I get the impression that they are pre-distressed. Anybody know what's up with these?

They are predistressed. I think you can get them raw through their store.

The Miner's Pants are predistressed. A lot of controversy with this pant...

This looks nice.

Duck Type 2 jacket.

[rnrswitch]

I saw that on their site as well... lovely. I don't think they are an exact type 2 replica. I believe they have a curved bottom front pockets (similar to the blacksmith backpockets) and they have a cinch as well.

[ihatebrianwilliams]

Just guessing the style name. Yeah looks nice. I have only been once. Didn't have the best experience. But they have a super expensive kids jacket that is nice. Ha.

sorry for the poor pics.

[eltopo]

Couple quick fit pics of the Neustadters

[crownzip]

Nice photos, but can't get past the fact those ducks sell for $500. Just can't justify that kind of jack for a pair or repros.

[dimpra]

superb fit on you, eltopo.

still cant justify the hefty price.

[SLAB]

great fit, ducks and pictures. unfortunately no such dineros laying around here to pick it up myself

[wahwho11]

if you don't buy them, you know the japanese will! they love his stuff

here's a cheaper alternative?
