FBJ-101 Free Bee Type I Jacket
-
the numbers on my jacket are a tad bit bigger
length-25
shoulders-19.5
chest-22(44)
bottom(guessing hem, it was called bottom on the IH-526J)-21(42)
arm- 27But that said, this jacket was a tad bit big when i bought it so a Large will be the ticket for the freebee. would you agree giles?

5'10-11", 175, 42
i tend to ALWAYS layer my dbtype3, meaning undershirt, tee, and often hoody. but without it has plenty of space. haha
-
awesomeness. thats what i was also thinking. and the chest of the dbt-3 has some room, as in, i can pull at where you measure the chest and it can come out a bit, you know, so its not super tight. sounds great though. what are we potentially looking at as far as estimated/exact cost of this beautiful garment?
-
^ cool, let me know sir!
-
^ exactly, dont think…
pull the trigger -
i found a link with fitpics…

dont really know how old that is, but damn, looks good!
14700 yen doesnt seem that bad tho, does that convert to 350? -
It's the same thing. And no, 14700 does not equate to 350. I need to speak to Haraki to get a cost and then I can calculate the price. It may come in at lower than 350, it depends upon what he decides I need to pay, then taxes, shipping etc have to be factored into the equation…G

^ ok giles, cool, good to know. now its time to play the waiting game. lol
edit: i cannot stop looking at this gorgeous jacket. i feel like i am psyching myself into a frenzy for it. but i will say, i need that thing BAD! i like how the red tab is literally just a red tab, take that levis! lol.

The more i see it, the more i look for info on it, the more i want it, the more it appeals to me.

Type I is one of the best jean jackets out there. Plus - still finding one with red tab…priceless.
We can do anything

^ Yup! i was suprised as hell to have found those links so easily. its really a great looking jacket and as i already have a type 3 i really wanted a type 1 or 2. looks like i'm gonna only have a type 2 to concern myself with in the future.

^ lol, what a salesperson! hahaha.
I have put in a ton of time to my type 3 and once i gets me that FBJ-101 you so kindly put into the path of my destiny, i will be destroying it as best i can. lol. if i do decide to get the TWHR2, i will probably be getting it in a year or so, because while i really am now waiting to see when that jacket is gonna be available to us, i'm probably gonna order a quilted chambray at the same time. any clue on how many black XL's you have left G-man? plenty, few, enough?
-
ahhhh man….
well i will just have to wait out the storm and see how it plays out. the L was too tight when i tried it on at SE, and the XL fit really well. so thats why i wanted to place the order together, hopefully to save you some moneys on shipping too, not to mention it'd be super bitchin (does anyone even say that anymore???) to recieve a denim stocked box of heaven! ...well, bag too. lollet me know if that XL in black doesnt get picked up?
