^ cool, let me know sir!

If I didn't have so many jackets‚ I would def buy one….I'm trying to get a friend to buy one‚ but he is anti denim tux..the jacket looks a no-brainer to me.....

deadendpro

^ exactly, dont think…

pull the trigger

i found a link with fitpics…

http://www.rakuten.ne.jp/gold/rebirth/FBJ-101NEW.html

dont really know how old that is, but damn, looks good!
14700 yen doesnt seem that bad tho, does that convert to 350?

Giles

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.

some detail shots available here. http://repeattofade.blogspot.com/2006/07/fbj-101.html

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

deadendpro

^ 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.

Giles

Get this then:

^ 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?

Giles

The last one I have is on hold for a guy in Wichita. His brother has just taken an XXL, once that arrives with him (Thurs/Fri prob) he will confirm whether he needs an XL or an XXL. I have one indigo left in XL. G

deadendpro

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. lol

let me know if that XL in black doesnt get picked up?

Will do. And just so you know. As a general rule, I am more than happy to pop stuff aside for customers on the promise that they will eventually buy it. G

deadendpro

Awesome, good to know! i'll be using that feature in the future perhaps, haha, or even sooner depending on the exact cost of this jacket. lol… and the IHSH-17.

and i just posted a question for you over there giles, thanks.

I have used this "feature" of Giles. It works !

lol

Dead, I plead guilty. But truth be told, I'm so small that it probably is not necessary. G doesn't have people knocking down his door for W28/29 jeans and XS shirts. I'm a teeny, weeny gal.

deadendpro

lol, well i have just employed it to my advantage for the IHSH-17 in black, just like the one you have. but i am waiting for the FBJ-101 jacket to arrive before i purchase them both. i try to save giles a little bit in shipping.. lol
