The Japanese Repro Clothing Thread (Real McCoys, Freewheelers, Etc.)
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- Lorcan7

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...- Lorcan7

The Japanese Repro Clothing Thread (Real McCoys, Freewheelers, Etc.)
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...- Lorcan7

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.- Lorcan7

The Japanese Repro Clothing Thread (Real McCoys, Freewheelers, Etc.)
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"...- Lorcan7

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...- Lorcan7

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.- Lorcan7

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)- Lorcan7

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...- Lorcan7

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.- Lorcan7

My hot takes: Don't buy 25oz for a first pair. Unless you are the guy who must have the heaviest of everything (see also: Lost Worlds leather jackets). 15-17oz already feels plenty more substantial than mall brand/fashion brand denim. If you want to wear with a sport coat and not look bad this...- Lorcan7

This two part interview from Dieworkwear with Kiya from Self Edge is quite old at this point but maybe interesting if you're just getting into Japanese raw denim: https://putthison.com/should-i-really-wait-six-months-to-wash-my-jeans/...- Lorcan7

The Japanese Repro Clothing Thread (Real McCoys, Freewheelers, Etc.)
Welcome! I only have jeans not a jacket from TCB so can’t really comment. From what I understand the denim jacket sizing does run smaller than other Japanese brands. It’s a bit crazy. I would consider emailing TCB or Bears - I’ve had helpful size advice from TCB before- one of the guys there...- Lorcan7

1. Margiela paint splatter it 2. replace straps with Wicket & Craig leather ones for the Heritage dad angle 3. wear Yohji pants so wide no one can tell there's a leg brace under there (Good luck with the recovery though!)- Lorcan7

Only saw from behind, but jacket had a cinch-back so presumably type I rather than Lee style Century denim jacket (grey version of fabric) with matching jeans + some kind of yellow sneaker + dyed blond hair. Definitely a look- Lorcan7
