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

1st Pat-rn is a really cool brand. I had their Anders blazer for a hot minute last year, trying to go for the casual look similar to @whorishconsumer's RRL venture. Unfortunately it was a bit small on me so I unloaded it but I think the quality is their for the price. It had these really cool herringbone pockets on the inside that gave it the militaria vibe that works well with Ivy looks. The second image has the more accurate color, which was a deeper gray that was very versatile and looked great with jeans and cords. If they remade this particular jacket I'd probably pull the trigger.

Does anyone have a favorite pair of chinos from these types of brands? I don’t want anything too wide, more of a modern cut.

Burgus Plus makes some fairly slim lower-rise chinos in a variety of colors. They're Hinoya's house brand. 401z is very modern, others are a bit wider and more traditional.

There is this brand which I just discovered (although they have been in the game for quite some time, apparently). They are called Connection Knitwear. As the name implies, I think they started out with knitwear but they are now fully into the repro game.
They are from Italy, quality is top notch and they do MTM. Communication is awful (https://www.connectionknitwear.com/product/manx/) but the quality is really good.

Marrkt has a deadstock sale on these.

Not to sound contrarian, but I found them really helpful and the suede jacket I purchased was great (and well priced) despite not working out size-wise. I found they usually used Facebook messenger to communicate which was a bit weird.

I have an Anders in my line-up as well, and it's just like, the perfect casual blazer. No weird tech fabrics, soft, easy, lots of pockets for stuff.

Hi! I didn't explain myself clearly. I meant the "visual communication", which is really DIY

1st Pat-RN is killing it. Love that you carry the line. Their jackets are a nice progression from the Engineered Garments stuff that I bought so many years ago.

I have two pair of the Reco trousers that I bought at S&S 3-4 years ago that I love. They'e seen a ton of wear but are sadly a bit big on me now. I've corresponded with Cristiano a few times and he's so passionate about fabrics and design and was a joy with chat with.

I picked up a couple of the covid masks directly from their web store before S&S carried them and I get so many comments/questions about them.

I'll second Burgus Plus. The 401 is a good fit; IME it's more of a "regular" fit than slim, although like a lot of Japanese brands the rise is on the lowish side of medium. They are very good value via Denimio. I think my 33w measure 8.5" at the hem. Not sure if Z means zipper like Lee, but the ones I have are button fly.

I saw that and almost stocked up but I have way too many pants right now. Also with UK customs and shipping I don't think there was much of a savings over Denimio IIRC.
