Thanks everyone for your advice. Fit pics soon, promised ! It seems like on SuFu, lots of skinny (W28/29), barely used stuff comes up for great prices. I think people (mostly Asian dudes, it seems) guess too small and after a hot soak, the jeans end up too tight – and not returnable. This is particularly true when people order stuff from ratuken, 2nd or rebirth (via a proxy or directly). I've noticed that many SuFu members prefer to buy their Samurai from 2nd and ratuken because they get the beautiful arcs and tabs that way -- which BIG doesn't offer. So yeah...I need to try these on yet (tonight) but I'd be a fool not to take advantage of other people's mistakes on SuFu !

He has new flannels and such in his online store. This is his last month of biz, so be sure to check it before it's too late:

I do fucking love that IH bracelet, Seul. Have you weighed it? It must feel v.weighty.

[Guest]

Not quite sure if I remember correctly but I think Giles said it was either 6 or 9 ounces.

[Giles]

The wallet chain is 9oz, I can't remeber what the bracelet weighs and I don't have one here to weigh…G

Next time I'm at my local silver-and goldwear shop, I'll weigh it. Just came from there but forgot to do so.

Jus curious man, I've got an auto wrist watch that weighs in at about 250 grammes and this has a good heft to it.

I forgot I can weigh it at work - will do so tomorrow (if I don't forget).

250g for a wrist watch? Wow! What model is that? A massive gold submariner?

Its this one till: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=99.msg711#msg711

I had an aftermarket lumpy style bracelet put on it so it boosted the weight.

Happened to pick up this vintage 1960's Levis type III jacket this week. It's seen some life and could probably tell a good story (if it wasn't just a denim jacket!). Cheak out the combs on the arms 

It has the code 347 on the buttons, does that mean anything to anyone here?

[Giles]

Where the hell you get that Simon - not Gosport surely…G
