Agree with @yannis, and was going to say the same: Samurai 511 is closest to the 777, but not particularly close. Nice cut though, and for a (somewhat) similar fit I'd suggest sizing up in the Samurai compared to the IH.

@SKT Looks perfect if you ask me.

Hemmed, 100% of the time. Don't like the extra mass/bulk/material of a cuff. Feels annoying/clumsy to me and gets on my nerves.
I often like how a cuff looks on other people though.

@Oaktavia Looking great!

@Mizmazzle Great looking jacket.

@Pinkpan Les Pauls and IH denim, damn hard to beat

Gotta be Munich, Marienplatz. Nice place, enjoy your stay!

Still absolutely love this jacket. Might just be my favourite piece of clothing ever.

@Mizmazzle One of the nicest patches for sure.
(And everyone needs at least one pair of SBGs)

@goosehd Just put on some Royal Oud inspired by your post, that is definitely a good one.

Another big favourite for me that I don't think I've seen mentioned here is Ormonde Jayne Montabaco Intensivo.

@Oaktavia All this overthinking is definitely part of the fun. And the 189-IND is looking great.

@denim-dawg That’s interesting, I would have expected some serious fading after 250 days. (And thank you for sticking it out that long in the name of denim science).

@Mizmazzle I had the same thought regarding the chambray lining.

@Pinkpan Thank you, appreciate the feedback, that is very useful information.
I'm a 9.5 in Wesco and Red Wing (two pairs of each). 43 might be the way to go in my case.
I'm in Europe, but far away from any La Botte Gardiane dealers, so would have to buy online.
I'll be sure to report back if/when I end up getting a pair.

@Pinkpan Nice boots! I've been wanting to try a pair of La Botte Gardiane, how did you end up sizing vs Wesco? (And other brands for that matter).

@Oaktavia Amazing.

@Chibs Gotta agree with @Twistlock looks spot on to me.

Very cool shirt by the way, have an unused one hanging in the closet waiting for the right occasion.

EDIT: If it doesn’t feel right that’s another matter and only you can answer that.

@northsouthdenimguy Just wear it open. (Evidence provided in the pic of Giuli a few posts back) Can’t really beat this shirt, open or glosed.

@jaasonmg Perfect.

@Lowlander Incredible fades, and I love the yearly updates!

@twin Absolutely amazing!
