Thanks guys and I agree. I bought the size 40 and will keep the one that fits best. Too bad post to Sweden is damn expensive.

Finally got a pair of fuller cut jeans that fit me well , I've been thinking about the 601xx for a while and I'm glad they worked out

Love the lighter colour or the denim

And some bad lighting fit pics

Nice pickings - Congrats!

… and a very cool patch at these Jeans ->

@Flash:

Great looking pair of jeans and it looks like they fit perfectly. The texture of the denim reminds me of my Fullcounts; is it pretty close? I imagine they will take some effort to fade, but they will be pretty amazing looking.

Btw, new Aviator Vest in a 40 today, cant wait.

Nice review and great fit. 51s are my favorite jeans thus far. Interesting though that you call them a fuller cut. I guess that is coming in comparison with another pair or with your body type? For me they don't really seem all that full at all…..

[Flash]

Thanks for the complements guys
@Anesthetist
I'd say they are more like warehouse 1001 denim but lighter in colour

@Chiba J.
I mostly wear slimish cuts and I find that most full cuts drown me so the 1951's give me the fuller fit I've been after

[Anesthetist]

Feels so much better. Sz 40:

[seanocono]

Yep. Nailed it this time around.

[Finkster]

Congrats! … good choice with the 'downgrade and excellent fit with the size 40

[davito]

@Flash great to see you with the 51ers looking good. the 601xx is a great pair of jeans

@Anesthetist yes nice vest looks superb, I always love seeing vests worn and loved

Deck Jacket arrived today! Duck outer is nice and crispy. It should break in great over the winter (if we have one).

[Jordan23]

What size did you go for? What's your typical IH size? Thx in advance!

Enjoy ya addiction!

[veloaudio]

I went with a 42. I'm typically a Large in IH. Plenty of room in the body, arms and shoulders are on the skinnier side. Not a problem for me but something to keep on mind for anyone thinking about the jacket.

[Jordan23]

Thx for quick reply and congrats to your fit!

Enjoy ya addiction!

[Chiba J.]

Glad you're happy with it VA. Same size as me. But yours is alpaca.

Indeed, arms are slender. And a touch on the short side, but not bad. With the slender arms but roomy body, I have found that a heavy filson vest or similar works very well underneath for cold temps.

[veloaudio]

Yes, my Buco Racing Vest works great underneath which was an unexpected surprise.

[Chiba J.]

I was actually just thinking the other day that that would probably work too.

Mine with a couple seasons wear.

And under the Air Crew Vest.

[bushmonkey]

OK, that vest looks like its right up my ally.  do you mind giving some sizing info @Chiba J. ?  ih size and what size is that vest?
The hunt begins

[Chiba J.]

I don't own any IH gear so can't really help there. But I seem to be similar size with Velo Audio and he says above he's an L in IH.

The air crew vests are sized large to wear over outerwear. My FW deck jacket above is sz 42 but I wear 40 in the air crew vest, obviously with room since I can still wear it over deck jacket as above. That said, it doesn't look huge over just a shirt or sweater.

You might have trouble finding this specific version. This is from two years ago when they first did this pattern in green and eggplant rip-stop. Last year they did the same pattern but with alpaca in khaki and navy jungle cloth. This year they changed it up and released a hoodless "aviators" version in brown and green.

dope fits, that vest is awesome & the wear on that denim is on the money.
