    The Japanese Repro Clothing Thread (Real McCoys, Freewheelers, Etc.)

    Would avoid LVC. Freewheelers type I’s are really nice. Nice enough I actually own two of them (1946-47 and 1922). Personally prefer their denim to McCoys.

    I don’t remember seeing any. unless they were hidden in the big glass case or something and I missed them. Mostly just new season spring/summer stuff

    Yeah Ive not been to the Tokyo one, assumed it would be bigger than Osaka. Im over there next week but working and probably no time to stop by.

    The Japanese Repro Clothing Thread (Real McCoys, Freewheelers, Etc.)

    In Kyoto atm, went to Hoosier which was dope. It’s a bit out of the way but worth heading over. Dude is super chill and speaks good English. Bought a few things and he threw in some Freewheelers socks free lol. Have a real treasure trove of old season FW stuff piled up. Went to Timeworn in...

    wow 800 Euros seems kinda lot for that? Even just compared to the brand's other jackets... seems random. I also find it amusing them using the picture of Paul Newman wearing an N-1 to advertise a summer jacket that quite tenuously resembles one lol

    Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

    I mean probably but who cares. I see a fair number of people wearing them but that might be location specific (UK). Merchant Fox have some tweed ones I could see working for you https://www.themerchantfox.co.uk/products/charcoal-and-black-herringbone-oversized-30s-8-panel-cap I have a...

    Buzz Rickson have made one before that's literally an N-1 style deck jacket without the pile lining and with a corduroy collar https://hinoya.shop/en/products/br15346 Freewheelers made a version of the deck worker jacket without the hood too. Not currently available but you might find one...

    RMC’s Mitchell camo M-65 is prob easier to justify as originals are really rare and expensive. Standard version I’d rather get vintage or Buzz.

    Mine still do this a bit even after 3.5yrs of wear lol. I don't think it looks too bad in person when you're actually moving around in them vs static photo. The amount of leg twist they get might also contribute to it? I dunno. I just put an order in for Sugar Cane "super denim collectibles"...

    Takahiro Miyashita - Number (N)ine, The Soloist

    I have and very occasionally wear some stuff from that era (and a poncho shirt from 2015). It's still dope and fun to wear. However I would say that -sizing was obviously very small/slim and sometimes short. I am pretty skinny (around 143lb @ 5'10-11ish right now, about the same as I was when I...

    Agree. I do like the new version of the roughout type III - boxier fit and colour looks truer to vintage ones. I could see some people preferring the older version though.

    DC-4 in Berlin recently started stocking Freewheelers... but yeah expensive. Fullcount 0105 is a nice cut? Jelado 301xx ? (might be more similar to the Denime's in cut than J105 though)

    The Japanese Repro Clothing Thread (Real McCoys, Freewheelers, Etc.)

    Freewheelers one wash have most of the shrink taken out, I wouldn't worry about them changing much. I have more experience buying raw but from them - hot soak plus a couple of machine washes to get raw Freewheelers down to the one wash measurements IME. Warehouse x Denime look good too I've...

    I'll be in Osaka for a work trip May 2024 (with some holiday days there while someone else is paying for the flight) if you're around then. Am planning a trip to Hoosier in Kyoto for the Freewheelers.
