My "WabiSabi Watchman" drying after the first coat of kakishibu.

Edit: I wss drinking and didn't realize that I failed to attach a pic, lol. Since then, I've done a second coat and worn it out once, but failed to do any fit pics. I haven't put it out to tan, and I'm currently mulling over if I should do a 3rd coat of kakishibu. Either way, here's what I have so far:

Agreed.  Well done.

[organisys]

Yeah, works….

[UnTucked]

Thanks all! I'll get in some fit pics before I go any further with it… It did shrink, so the sleeves are a bit shorter than I like, but... When I wore it out, I felt like a million bucks!

Imagine, like if rock stars were also crab fishermen... THIS is the jacket they'd wear, lol

I bought this okinawa patrol cpo (XL) a while back from SE and it's a bit to big on me.  As much as I've considered moving it, I don't think I could really ever part with it.  The denim is just amazing.

Enjoy ya addiction!

@johnny5799, seconded and IMO a great fit

I have the same shirt and I'm pretty sure that's how it's supposed to fit! It looks really good on you, I wouldn't sell it.

Fit is great - KEEPER.

^ not a fan of the wax or the sizing, chinos look like they fit you great

Ditto! Def looks a tad short!

Does look a tad short, roll down the sleeve a roll? The scruffier up wax effect looks great though.

[Finkster]

Yep - short sleeves .. but the jacket looks awesome!

Kakishibu, not wax. And, it's definitely a tad bit short after drying, but I flipped the cuffs 1x also because I'd rather it look purposely short, lol. It looks better when I'm actually wearing it, but I just threw it on over a lazy, ill-fitted and badly cut Left Field t-shirt.

And, the pants are a great pair of IH816.

I think it looks great. Length, rolled sleeves, Kakishibu (whatever the hell that is); the lot.

[madmonday]

what does "Kakishibu" do?

If you comfortable with her rock out, @UnTucked  personal style is always a great thing.

Let me see a fit when you all done up if you don't mind, I would like to like it

It's a natural pigment dye.

Japanese have used it for centuries for dying and water-proofing. I could try to explain, but I'll just post a link to a more knowledgeable persons words, lol
