I just grabbed the sz 28 FH310… i hope they dont pale TOO MUCH in comparison to IH..

too bad all denim i own now will just get burned by haraki's genius

^ Flat Head and Iron Heart is like comparing Sprite to Coke, ya just dont do it…

[cowsareforeating]

i guess that came off wrong… i just meant that my expectations are now so high due to IH it just seems hard for many other jean companies to match up whatsoever. but people seem to love flat head so i do have hope!

Long live Gilt!..

Long live Hide-san!.. Not as cheap as the eBay thing, but at least it comes from the right source (IH JP webstore)…

@simon626:

Beeswax coated Clarks.
They're my very first pair of Clarks.
Are any of you guys Clarks veterans and can tell me some useful information i should know about the shoes? Care and conditioning?

hello Simon,
i use sno seal with mine.
my tactic is :
a sunny day=let the clarks take sun and temperature.
apply the sno seal on the warm beeswax
2 or 3 coats.
and sun again!
and great result!
cheers!

Lando, is that a Canada Goose from BIG ? It's gorgeous ! Love it. You'll rock it beautifully and moreover, you'll NEED IT, in NYC wintertime.

No not from BiG. I grabbed this off ebay from some lay in Alaska. Half price and Brand New w/ Tags! Paid $350 Shipped!!!!!! INSANE DEAL. Thank you for the compliment shoobs!

Wow, Lando. You got a steal of a deal on that Canada Goose.

Like Lando, I got a fantastic deal on something. I purchased a pair of W29 Samurai 17-oz S5000BK from ajchen on SuFu. ajchen is in that "jumping" photo with LandoCal and Beatle – he's one of the 4 -- in front of SENY.

I got these for $220 shipped -- they've been hot soaked twice and worn never. They're pretty much brand new. I got them yesterday and tried them on...OMFG. Beautiful. Beautiful fucking jeans, that's all I can say. Got the tags, labels and price tags too. I don't think they were from BIG because they had Japanese prices on them. Not sure where he got them, but they're the real deal. Oh yeah -- these had shrunk to a 30.5" inseam...they're perfect on me. I'll be wearing these jeans without a cuff for a change. But, ajchen emailed me, told me that the denim on S5000BK is insanely nice....and Lordy Lordy -- is he ever right !

Tab and arcs?..

Congrats on your scores, Landon and Shubz!..

From my sis, got me  this from the  land downunder.

size M,

quite big for me. Tag says Made in Bangladesh.

Seul – indeed, got the tab and arcs !  Though 17-oz, these jeans feel extraordinarily crispety, crunchety -- and just as thick n' heavy as IH 21-oz IMHO. Though obviously I don't need new jeans (does anyone on this forum need new jeans ???), I long ago said to myself...if reasonably new Samurai S5000BK ever comes up in my size (Tagged 31, shrunk 29) on SuFu for a good price -- I'm grabbing. I've been waiting for 'em for a long time...I got them for $220  shipped and they're listed on BIG's website for $325 (taxes not included). Plus, they're already shrunk and have an inseam of 30.5" -- which are perfect for me and this time no cuffing. I guess ajchen must be a pretty short dude although I can't really tell in that jumping photo !

If you google around, a faded pair of S5000BK are just sick ! Though I love IH, I like Samurai and Sugar Cane (Oki and Hawaii) tons too. Those 3 are my go-to jeans.
