Selling a brand new pair of TCB 20s size 34 with TCB leather braces. I still have the tags but they are unattached. Never washed or worn. Simply tried on. The braces have a couple of extra custom holes to allow for different heights.
Bought direct from Japan. $210 with free US shipping (F&F).
One of the things I most like about this hobby is reading / watching / listening to stuff about heritage wear. Can anyone recommend any good websites, youtube channels, or podcasts? These are the ones I know about:
Websites / social media
Reddit (obvs)
Facebook raw denim page
Superfuture
Denimhunters*
Japanalogue *
Stridewise
Heddels
Podcasts
Iron Cast
Denimhunters
Youtube

I'm most interested in good podcasts and websites with interviews, reviews, etc. like denimhunters and Japanalogue (my two personal favorites).
Thanks all!

Hey team,
I'm looking for some summer pants that meet the following criteria:
I have some Mister Freedoms and they're great but expensive. Most Orslow seem to be high rise. but maybe I'm missing something(??)
EDIT: THE JEANS SUGGESTIONS ARE GREAT, BUT I'M REALLY LOOKING FOR WORK PANTS. SORRY!! SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE CLEAR!
Thanks for any suggestions!

Perfect summer weight pants, run a bit big so see measurements. Yours for $205 with free US shipping if you order direct here before any bids (F&F).
Anyone tried TCB 20s jeans yet? I really want a pair I can wear suspenders with, and these look glorious. I love TCB jackets so it's really time I tried their jeans again.
Apologies again for the quality of the pics, as well as the lurking background toilet. But I just wanted to sing the praises of Mister Freedom linen-cotton pants (again!). They are light and airy yet still drape really well. These are the Topsiders in crosshatch denim, 70% cotton, 30% linen. They come in at 11oz but somehow feel much lighter. They're higher rise than I usually wear, but the cut is so lovely that I don't care. If they weren't so damned pricey I'd buy multiple pairs and live in them.
(Worn here with a Quince 100% linen shirt and suede Astorflex Bitflex chelsea boots).
When posting pics of your wonderful heritage clothes, please, when you can, post some fit pics. It's really helpful to see how clothes fit and drape on real people in real life, as well as on the product website (which generally features some sort of handsome hunk staring out to sea in soft golden lighting, accompanied by his adoring girlfriend `and / or an interchangeable trusty Labrador).
I don't tend to find pictures of someone's new jeans / jacket laid flat on the table very helpful -- I can usually see those sort of pics on the seller's website. But in addition to fit pics, it's also great to see different angles and close-ups of fabrics. Thanks so much to everyone who shares their stuff on here!

Amazing jeans in superb condition. See pics!! (The first two pictures probably capture the color best. There's a rich indigo depth below the black which you can see in the close-ups.) Incredible texture. Incredible jeans!

Far East Manufacturing is a fairly new brand, built by Mr.Hayashi, the mastermind behind Resolute. I have a couple of their chambray shirts and the fit and fabric are immaculate. I just noticed Bears (my favorite Japanese store) is promoting a pre-order for some new products from them, which look really lovely. The herringbone shirt above is a must for me. The pre-order details are at the bottom of Bear's front page: https://bears-tokyo.myshopify.com/
I'm not a huge fan of the tricotine overshirt, but this new (I think??) version looks very good. It's basically a chore coat, which seems like the perfect silhouette for this fabric. If I didn't already own way too many jackets this would be high on my list.
Ordered Sunday 5/17 from China. Delivered east coast of US 5/25 (Memorial Day!)
I'm generally pretty rigid in only wanting to buy US or Japan-made denim, but I was looking for a heavy, slubby type 2 with handwarmers, and a wonderful fellow redditor recommended this. It came in at just under $200 including delivery. I expected delivery to take much longer, especially as they use GoFo for the US part, which I've heard really bad things about. But as you'll see from the timeline above, it was pretty darn fast and smooth.
Okay, on to the jacket. Basically, it's a thing of beauty. Heavy slub and gorgeous texture. A deep indigo with a green cast for added depth. The stitching and construction are as good as anything I've seen. I was not sure about the buttons, but the oxidized copper is actually kinda cool.
The fit reflects the measurements listed on the website. I was looking for something I can wear over a hoodie in winter, but still wanted it to be fitted. The jacket felt a bit too loose when it arrived, but I gave it a warm soak and then wore it while still wet (warm day here). This helped it set and conform to my body shape. The sleeve length could be an issue for some western body types.
Overall a truly great experience start to finish with Sauce Zhan, and I love the jacket. I expect I'll be wearing it much of the winter. I probably won't buy any more denim from the company, but that is no reflection on the jacket. It's just because I'm too old a dog to learn many new tricks at this point. I like my denim to come from Japan. But I would absolutely recommend SZ to anyone looking for quality clothing at a very reasonable price.

I did a Very Bad Thing and bought a TCB Fat Cats Faded S40s jacket. It comes already faded / distressed, and I love it. I have a couple of type 2 jackets I'm working on fading myself, but really wanted a type 1 to go with my Samurai Year of the Dragon (pictured), which I've been wearing non-stop for 5 months now. I got the jacket new(!) from a seller in Japan, for less than $200 including shipping, so a good deal.
This is a ludicrously beautiful shirt, hardly worn and in excellent condition. Indigo warp, persimmon weft. Built like a tank. Yours for $175 with free US shipping if you order direct here before any ebay bids.
Hey friends, can anyone recommend a slubby type 1 or 2 jacket that has the following:
I tried the Omoto slub-nep type 2 (pictured), and it's a gorgeous jacket, but the armholes were too wide for my skinny arms. I have a TCB type 2 and that cut is excellent for me, but they don't do a properly slubby version.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
This is a crazily beautiful, massively textured jacket from Japan, which retails for $365. Note this jacket has hand warmer pockets!
My sizing notes: If you are a US Medium / Large this should fit you perfectly if you just wear a t-shirt with it. If you are a US small / medium you should be able to layer a hoodie comfortably. But most importantly, see pics for measurements!
$240 with free US shipping if bought direct with Paypal or Venmo F&F
If possible I'd like to buy the camera on ebay, as I have a credit on there. I like the retro prettiness of the fujimax cameras, but have no idea which models would work for me. Any other suggestions very gratefully received! Thanks again!
