Hi guys! would you have an update on the upcoming restock? thanks!

Hi Giles, have you ever thought of maybe adding an inch or two in body length to this jacket? the current length is about the same as in the unmodified version. A slightly longer torso would make it perfect, in my opinion. Thanks!

Is there any sleeve twist to be expected with this denim? I believe there is a leg-twist warning at the IH shop for the jeans using this same denim and was wondering if it would happen the same to the jacket.
The left cuff on my overdyed type III came out from the overdye bath with a bit of twist and many times I wish it wasn't there…

Looking look, Zatem. Much better fit after that hot soak! how is it now around the upper arms, less billowy?

Giles, with the no-pocket version to be released later this spring, do you foresee another run of the pocketed version anytime this year? thanks,

Zatenm, did you experience much shrinkage with washing and drying?

Great looking jacket by the way!

Max, that is strange you got such a tight waist on a tag size 35. It should have been 36". I know I got 33" on my tag size 32. Hopefully you can get them to stretch.
What are your thoughts on the cut, is the leg opening what you were expecting? it was a surprise to me how full the cut is thinking at first it would be slimmer. I have not worn mine yet, debating still if these are keepers.
I note in your pictures your pants do have the same hip flare as mine do, should soften with a few wears I hope.

BIG measures are pretty accurate as far as I can tell comparing with my size 32 pants.

Just received by black samurais 710bkb. First impression, they seem a bit roomier than what I was hoping for a slim cut. I got a tag-size 32 an the leg opening at the hem is 8.25". Does anybody has any experience soaking/shrinking 17oz 710s? how much to expect in terms of width shrinkage?

Further shrinkage could be problematic, but if it stays as it is right now, that is perfect. To me, that is what the length of jacket and sleeves should be. You want your shirt cuff to show a bit under your jacket.

By the way, did you experience much indigo loss during your soak?

HI guys, I please need your help.
Does anybody know of any Japanese retailer where I can preorder the upcoming S710BKB black x black jean?
I tried Yuichi, Pirates, but he is sold out on preorders for my size, tag-size 32. And I tried 2nd, but it is ticking me off that they want to charge me the 8% sales tax even though this would be an international order. I would rather take my business elsewhere if at all possible.
Any other leads? thanks!
Oh, also tried with Mahoto, denimio, but he is yet to reply.

Giles, aside the SBG on the works, should we expect another run of the brown duck Type III at some point? thanks,

@Giles:

The re-run is complete and ready to ship from Hachioji, should be here in a week/10 days…

Please remind me again about sizing compared to the 02 model?  I've seen a mix of posts in both threads on whether or not people went with the same size as the raw model or sized down.

I took 31 in 555-02's and 30 in these. 555-02's were a little bit big after soak.

Miiks, on your SBG, did you experienced much stretch in the waist with wear? somebody mentioned this denim is tough to break in at first, I am just wondering if I should go true to size, or a bit tight at first and go through the pain until they stretch to perfect.
Thanks!

Giles, could you please provide an update on the Type III indigo/indigo canvas jacket you are wearing on page 14? when should we expect it? thanks,

Great info, thanks for the Wabash tutorial!

Looks good, great shirt!
Quick question, are those Wabash stripes are actually printed onto the fabric?  somehow I thought they would be woven, but from the close up pictures above seems the are printed? thanks!

Hi guys, first time poster here (long time lurker).
I wanted to ask about shrinkage post-washing on this duck canvas fabric. Is it notizeable? do you recommend sizing up if planning to machine wash? thanks!
