    I just received my CHUNKY Country Crew Sweater from OKW. I have never owned a chunky but I am super impressed with this jumper for the price. Size down since they run big. I purchased an XS. I am 5 10 15o lbs 32 waist.

    Blaumann looks interesting. Do you know if they ship to USA and if I can change the language to English ?

    I think Bangladesh is a long shot. I would rate it below India as far as quality of production goes for just about anything. Most of my Made in Bangladesh clothing goes into the trash. Also clothing Made in India and Bangladesh has a distinct cheap look to it. I can always tell the difference...

    Interesting. Thanks for this. I have been buying this model for maybe 2 years now and out of maybe 5 pairs this is the only one with any stretch to it. It's ok since the fit is great and I need lighter jeans for warm weather BUT the elastic creates a lot of white patches in the denim even at...

    Just a heads up for you Wrangler guys. My new 936 came in today. They are made in >>> NICARAGUA. 100% cotton but they look like a pair of counterfeit jeans you would see at a local mercado in Latin America. I've been too several of them. The difference between these and the old made in Mexico...

    A double ring leather patch wouldn't be a bad idea. The way it is now its either you do war paint or you don't !

    Momotaro has the horrible habit of adding 2 white branded rings in white paint to their clothing. It's a horrible look for an otherwise decent product. Why doesn't someone tell the designer ? :)

    A fine assessment of the Samurai product. I would just like to add that there is definitely a big difference between fabrics depending on the model. I 've got one pair of very slim Samurais that have a rugged pebble feel to the fabric never experienced anywhere before. I can actually double down...

    I don't see Samurai and L Artisan mentioned much on these forums. They are both excellent Japanese brands. A little cheaper than IH. Samurai denim reminds me of the vintage Levis 501.

    Don't forget to look into the Wrangler 936. They are a slimmer fit of the 13MWZ. They fit similar to an Ironheart Devil's Cut. $36

    I have the Roamer Pants in elephant skin. They are a little wide at the hips but not as much as 501 jeans are on me. I would definitely be interested in their 23oz denim version. Something that turns me off about PB jeans though is the bright yellow thread used. Hoping that is just how they...

    Would also like to mention that Wrangler has an even slimmer model to the 13MWZ Rigid. The 936 Slim Cut Rigid. Same jeans and fabric but a slimmer fit. This is what I buy. Great Quality.

    In general Bravestar offers rugged denim at a fair price. What you don't get though is the detailing like you would with the Japanese brands. The hardware is decent but not top notch quality. For $158 you cannot go wrong with this jacket as a knock around piece. I don't think you would wear...

    I don't know if this is the right thread for this post but I will give it a go : I just wanted to wish everyone on FL a Happy Holidays and best wishes for the year that approaches. We can all use a little inspiration right about now. Over the last few months FL has been a great source of...

    Thank You. Too cowboy looking for me but the Gustin recommendation is a winner and so is the idea to go for Japanese brands. This thread has been super helpful to me. Forever Grateful. My credit card thanks you too. :)

    Heavyweight Denim Shirts

    Received my first Gustin purchase today. The Japan Black Heavy Workshirt. First Impression : " WOW " Excellent beefy quality. No disappointment at all. One minor issue that I hope will be corrected after a soak. It tends to runa little long in the body and sleeves. The fabric is raw so I assume...
