@FlannelnBooze you might prefer the 888 over the 1955 anyway, since like the 777 it also has a taper from the knee

Looks sick!
Is this different than the forthcoming fw24 IHM-35-BLK or did that shift to an exclusive?

I stitched this patch onto a Stetson trucker cap while waiting in the queue for oasis tickets

@DeeDee85 I havent worn it a ton but so far its a slow fader, its aging more like one of my darker chambray shirts than a 12oz denim shirt for example. The blue is starting to pop out a little more with a couple washes.

This or the work shirt at their outlet price are a great deal. Its a versatile shirt, more like a midcentury workwear fabric that happens to look like denim.

Yeah to add on to what others have said, don’t think of the weights like the tog number on a duvet. They are used as short hand but often secondary to the more interesting features of the denim

@yannis thank you, I have the same routine so that is helpful to know

I see these are sanforized but has anyone noticed any shrinkage in the inseam after washing?

How late did things go last time? I’d like to come but I’ll probably just train back to Brighton Saturday night

@motojobobo it’s software / “portrait mode” adding depth of field

There’s not a lot of chatter on this so I’ll just say I got mine and it is a quite beautiful shirt! Lightweight with an ineffable feeling of old world quality to the fabric. Reminds me a bit of some of my favorite fabrics from mister freedom / sugar cane or vintage navy trousers. Could see layering it over a sweatshirt or turtleneck well into autumn.

Is this still coming in Black as well? It’s in the lookbook but not on the web anywhere.

Ok my first waywt

@neph93:

Also, same deal but with a Kersey outer layer and that blanket lining.

That would be amazing!

I was poking around further back in this thread and saw mention of a black warp white weft denim and that while there is excess stock it isnt very popular-

has there ever been any thought to overdying it black? Obviously that may seem like overkill but I can picture it with a cool matte finish and unique fade potential, perhaps as a cpo or m65.

I lost some weight since getting the XXL so I gave mine a good soak and washed it on hot - it tightened up exactly how I wanted taking it in a bit on the sleeves and shoulders and bringing it in a smidge on the sides restoring the taper through the torso. No marbling either. It feels a lot firmer now and bunches a little bit in the arm pits but I think that will sort itself out as it breaks in and softens with wear. I didn’t measure before though so I can’t provide exact numbers but the vibe is good.

Hello all!

What is the typical default/ sample pattern size for a new cut of jeans? Is it 32 or something else?

I’m an XXL and I went all the way down to L for this one, it fits great. I may not be able to layer as much  which shouldn’t be an issue with how warm the jacket it is but it belled out too much at the bottom and middle for my taste otherwise.
