I would also like to try a pair but agree the cuts seem to be made for Peter Pan. Funny the indigo shrimp review a while back showed some decent measurements for the RR1 but whenever I look closer they seem to also be cut for pre adolescents

Pretty f!@king price even for MIUSA. That red shirt in allegedly NOS fabric is fantastic but that's a car payment price so hard to tell if it's the manufacturing and supply chain or marketing hype. link

Double blac arrived today. They are lightweight but crispy. BS was,worth the wait Brave Star was just getting going when I went down this selvedge denim path in June 2013. It was either them or Gustin and I could not find enough info on Brave Star to make me feel comfortable with them. Their website and credibility has evolved quite well over the years and this might just push me over the edge...one of these days. The brown weft has always got me curious...I just checked that they compare their straight fit to a Levi's 504. according to Levi's that is a"modern straight fit with a lower rise and a bit more room in the seat and thigh." Not sure if that is good, but low rise and I don't get get along very well. Eh, if I don't like them, I can put them in the pile of denims I don't wear. I just checked Gustin to compare fit guides and that 16oz cone mills natural indigo is looking good at $79. Good thing I don't need them...and I know I don't need them. If it helps in my size I found the straight gustin rise to be shorter than the straight bravestar. But yes the thighs are abit larger. This is somewhat alleviated because the hips are not wide. Unless the gustin fit is better by a wide margin I would go with BS EVERYTIME. Even with a slight taper and I add that my new pair of black slim straights are a tad narrower in the thighs so I put BS OVER gustin easily. Particularly if you like buttons to stay on

Double black arrived today. They are lightweight but crispy. BS was,worth the wait. Quality is great and always surprising given the price point. These may have quenched my desire of a pair of Black Marias

Yeah, I know, I can't buy one either. I am now awaiting my 3rd "cut" of their jeans, previous 2 being "slim". Their slim has a cut across the hips so tight it pancakes your ass. And I really don't have a big ass. So now I'm onto the Straight Taper. Fingers crossed...... I feel ya. Their most generous cut is too small in the thighs, as it really is not a true straight fit. Its to bad, because they have really good pricing, but I'm done wearing jeans that constrict blood flow. Funny. I buy their straight cut for the rise and hips but taper because the thighs are too large on me I'm anxiously awaiting delivery of the double black version scheduled for now. Never had a black pair of denim

Just got a Eudae tee from these guys and it is very nice. Soft and good fitting. Color was off from the website photos, but I still like it. Worth the dough ?

I love my Ciano miner fits. But the wait times seems abnormal even for a small outfit.

Great looking colors. How in the world could you order without knowing the sizing. I honestly don't think I've ever seen a MIJ shirt that would fit me other than IH, or BR. Agree- love the barnes japeanese t-shirts...but their Xl is like a USa M-L

Trying to thin the herd for some stuff that does not fit anymore. So here is a beautiful dark pair of LVCS Worn about ten times. One cold wash no detergent. Still super dark and perfect condition. Just a slight bit a wear showing on the front pockets and rear (in a good way). I've done the hard work. Originally raw and now measure: 17.5 Front rise 12 Rear rise 15.5 Length 33 Asking $75 Here a few lousy cell pics

Got to add wife beater undershirts. I can't fathom any reason they exist.

I have to say, flying buttons aside that the concrete sky stretch and blue moleskin is tempting....

I have often wondered about buying a telleson product but the fit guide is like a mousetrap or treasure map forcing you to interpret what you are looking at and applying the guides...is it too hard to link measurements or list them on the product page for each product...and their are no measurements for the stock items at all
just took a look at the chinos...but the above rube goldberg approach applies again...fail...ill keep with bravestar....

Its super tiny - which I can't wrap my head around. It says "roomy" in the description, and it should be bigger than the standard. I tried the standard and it was snug i the thigh for me, when I went with the waist - sizing up maybe I had a chance. But comparing shockoe/division road, its a 2 inch difference, seems little off. Yeah. The thigh for a 34 inch waist is 11 according to their sizing tool. That's insane. No rise measurements on the chart either

I've been curious about them for awhile because have heard good things on redditt and they offer both stretch and non cone options .how do you find the rise? The standards look a wee bit short in the front....but the back is higher then most so could be a good balance... Same here. I'd really like to try a pair but the longest rise was a straight cut. And I do t even see that on the site anymore. I'll bet they would make something up if you asked though
