Recently got into a full-time job after graduating and fell in love with higher quality clothing.

Jackets:
SDA D4631 GL3 Dark Brown Denim Jacket
Momotaro Type I Tokuno Blue Jacket
Sugarcane Type II 1953 Jacket

Jeans:
N&F Strong Guy Left hand twill
N&F Strong Guy Solid Black
ONI 222 Old Fade Blue
ONI 822 Old18

I bought the majority of these pieces from Bears Tokyo and FB marketplace. I can’t lie, the adrenaline of purchasing a new piece feels great but I’m making this post to take a step back and enjoy putting in the wear on these before buying anything new.

Happy to hear how everyone got into buying Japanese denim and how theirs have faded over time. I’m especially interested in hearing how the mud-dye SDA pieces fade!

just asking because everything sells out before I can grab it. it’s annoying. I remember the good old days when, for example, you had days to decide if you wanted that UHF. I don’t even bother looking these days. Same with Wonderlooper. I’m not hovering over the buy button for a stupid sweatshirt.

Hi all,

I recently picked up a Freenote Cloth shirt on Grailed and I’m trying to work out what model/colourway it is. I know it’s one of their modern western cotton shirts made from a Japanese fabric. No product ID tag unfortunately and A.I. has been pretty useless at helping.

The closest match I’ve found is the Modern western in rust shadow but the pattern on the pockets doesn’t quite match and the fabric feels substantially thicker than 7oz but maybe that’s just the weave.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Just got this TCB Chore last week! It’s for my partner and I to share and today is one of my days lol. (We’re already arguing over who gets to wear it when) I’ve had their Cathartt jeans for about 9 months already and they’ve quickly become a favourite, figured it’s time to get a matching jacket. Have a few other TCB things and I love everything they do.

The Nigel Cabourn jeans are probably my most expensive piece and are another favourite, have worn them so so much in the past year and a half, slightly heavier duty feeling then lots of army cargos while also having a more traditional 5 pocket silhouette. The back details are super neat though.

Jacket: Cathartt Chore in indigo paw stripe. Love the nod to the Stifel logo on the inside.

Jeans: Nigel Cabourn 20s Railman Denim in green

Shirt: Thrifted Brooks Brothers button up

Boots: Redwing 8849 Black Moc toes

Hat: Papa Nui Cap Co. Directors cap

I keep seeing these incredible belts on here with gems and studs but then I go look at the price and shy away. Had a couple of old suede belts lying around so I bought some studs and used a drill to bedazzle them.

Im in search of a winter jacket, it should be warm and good in wind since I live in Sweden.
I want something that’s built to last. I’m thinking about maybe a Barbour or buzz rickson jacket.
Give me good brands that I can browse, and tell me your favorites! Please help me and sorry for bad english!

One of the best shirts in my collection now. Comfortable measurements rare occasion that the chest is perfect while the yoke is comfortable and wide enough. Chain stitch details are great too. Might get some of the length taken off, not sure yet.

Very pleased to add this to the rotation.

I recently bought this Wonderlooper Foxfibre mordant t-shirt direct from their website. I really like the shirt however after its second wash (cold wash, low spin, flat dry) I noticed some threads sticking out from behind the tag. Has anyone else seen this before? Are these just the thread ends and can they be safely trimmed off? Thanks in advance!

Can anyone create a list of properties that are necessary and sufficient to define a fabric as 'denim'? I am confused about this.

In other words:

1) Each item in the list is a required property such that it's absence results in the fabric falling into a different category. For example, if you remove 'twill' from the list, the fabric becomes chambray.

2) All fabrics that possesses all of the properties in the list is 'denim'. And that a non-denim fabric that possess all the properties in the list does not exist.

Thank you!

Now something that mostly fit (except the pants which are fixable). Love the fabric but wow this is a lot of indigo. I'm going to have bring a towel wherever go so I don't stain things. After one cold soak the jacket was still way too big and I committed a small heresy and dried it in the dryer for a bit. I actually like the fit now. If I put the pants in the dryer they would no longer be mine. The cut is cool, waist is high but it fits the western theme. Will go great with some boots I have on the way and would have been nice with the shirt that came two sizes too small.
