Lofgren of Japan (Speedway)

You could just contact john through his eBay account.

^^^ thank you, I went with this route.

[flatpattern]

Thanks for the info guys, ordering was a breeze.

I really like the cut of his vest, the length is just right. May have to consider one of those down the road, tough to choose with all the great fabric choices.

how did people size their hats? my head is reading 58 cm so I got the 59 cm hat. are they pretty true to size? with the adjustability wondering if I should have chose 61 cm.

Which hat? I would just send John your measurements and he will figure out the size for you. That is what I did and it worked out well. I think you could get a little smaller hat than your head because it will stretch.

[flatpattern]

thanks rnr, I thought the same thing as soon as I hit post, "I should just email him", I got the lofgren brown corduroy.

Wow! Five days shipping from Japan and two amazing pieces!! John Lofgren loves what he does.

I love these denim chinos so much that I immediately contacted him for my size in the black denim chinos.

Incredible gear and fantastic customer service. Thanks for the help, ordering was a breeze, I'll be getting more from this shop soon.

[marineabilly]

John Lofgren has a great new product coming out soon

[Mich]

They look very nice, any specs on these?

[marineabilly]

Nothin' yet. anxiously waiting, though.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

ordered a shirt from him. hopefully it will arrive next week. those engineers look good. can we count on your review soon?

[marineabilly]

^you might get the shirt sooner than you think...he ships perty darned quick. There's no doubt I will be the owner of one, so I will definitely have a review. Will be giving my two cents on them once more images are made available. So far, though, I'm definitely sold on 'em.

Edit: These will be made with Horween Chromexcel, BTW.

Them are nice boots~

What's the RW soles on the other pair about?

[SLAB]

welt stitching and soles look similar to the beck/buco reproductions. any idea if these are produced by the same manufacturer?

[deluxestyling]

takeshi okuyama may well be involved. he resoled these.

im like 99% sure i know this dude. back then he went by "johnny lofgren". i was in the JET program with him and as soon as we shot out of that plane ride from sfo, took a look around at all the other assholes in the program, i turned to him and said "hey man im ditching orientation tomorrow". he was 5 steps ahead of me. dude was well versed in the ways of tokiokan nampa-do and i was getting my ume popped so he offered to show me around town. i just had to tag along to some of his "business" meetings. turns out he was scheming to open up a vintage clothes and jeans thing out there and he had to hook up with contacts and flip levis and shit. i never knew fools were buying assy levis for yenzillions like that. he schooled me on all that redline pocket pet copper tittie minutiae. he was a meganerd in that department. all this fancy jean skirt details is exactly this dudes bag. i mean, if this aint dude, he's got a serious doppleganger evil twin brother singing his songs and bangin his wifey out there in nifonia. in any case, the stuff looks tasty, yatta homie!

[jichan]

ps

i dont really no shit about jeans. i came here because of that rustler walmart jeans thing on account of me wanting to know the high standards of such a substantial purchase.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

my Lofgren scallop work shirt came today. it is bigger than i thought. it's a size 42 (i wear 44 in flathead shirts and they are smaller)

i took better pictures with my cam but I can't find the cable...so these cell phone pics have to do

[Maynard Friedman]

I'm going to try this with Google translate. What language is it in?

Is that the black one? Can't tell from my screen. If it is, I have the same one and it shrank close to a full size with a hot wash.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yes it is! wow, that sounds good. then I'll gonna wash it first before really wearing it. thanks!

John just sent me some updated Engineer Boots pics. Posted on my blog.

[hollowsleather]

Instantly the best-made and best-fitting shirt I've ever owned.

[rayw44]

I have the same. Couldn't agree with you more.

Went ahead and preordered one of the wabash shirts because of how much I loved that one (and since I missed them on the first release).

[shanks59]

Pre-ordered the Polka Dot Wabash shirt. John is a pleasure to communicate with.
