FBJ-101 Free Bee Type I Jacket

[deadendpro]

^ glad it cheered you up man. I am still wondering and worrying. And seeing as that it is 5pm where giles is and 1 or 2 am where Haraki-San lives, I am gonna have to just keep waiting and keep hoping.

[deadendpro]

This waiting, it really makes me hope i gets me some good news soon.
and i dont mean good news like

I mean good news like awesome news. Something that tops

perhaps…

except with the FBJ-101 in size L for meeeeee

[Giles]

Dead, Haraki can't find any L I am afraid.  Sorry to the bearer of such devastating news…G

[deadendpro]

although it is very disheartening to hear, thank you for all of your efforts to find me one. I really appreciate it. 

[hectic]

Jonesing for ya, Deads.

[deadendpro]

yeah, it hurt, but i live to fade another day.

@Giles:

I have a lot of enquiries as to the availability of the FBJ-101 since I posted pics of mine recently.  Free Bee is one of the 3 brands under the umbrella of Works Inc, Iron Heart and Triple Works being the other 2.

So, I hounded Haraki, and he has found a few hiding in a cupboard somewhere.  He will let me have a list of availability shortly.  Here are some images:

Mine, 3 years wear, 3 washes.  I only wear this in the summer, so does not get serious wear.

its coming up on a year last i was hoping to get this jacket….

o well. but i thought i would bump for the new members to get a glance at a beautiful piece of history!

[madmonday]

did any one pick up any of the smalls or mediums on these?????

[Giles]

Well, I sold a few…...

[elclintor]

Would anyone have interest in my FBJ-101?

It's the one that G owned that is pictured above.

I love the jacket, I'm just a little too tall for it.

Back again…

The (in)famous red tab… which is just a red tab

The (or one of) patch that caused Levi's to foam at the mouth

non branded buttons

non branded rivets (riveted cuffs!!  :-*)

cinch back (fully cinched, because yes it doesn't really fit but that won't stop me  ;))

[Giles]

I simply adore this jacket.  Wore one for years despite it being at least one size too small….

[Morose_Penguin]

Well it's a least one size too big for me, unless I pad it out  8). It's amazing, not only as a part of Works Inc history but as a jacket in and of itself. Now I just need a Type II

[joesaintjohn]

I really think there should be an IH-ZB collab. If nothing else for old times rhyming namesake.

@Giles:

Height, weight and chest please

@deadendpro:

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

This was not only years ago, it was also 25 pounds ago! 

Truly a beautiful jacket. Still upset that I never got to experience it, but there will be an experience to be had with that selvedge riders jacket
