How much would you expect these to stretch in the waist? I have a pair of jeans that I like the fit of with similar proportions. They measure 12.25" front rise, 31.5" across waist (Worn plenty so this is post stretch). I was thinking a size 30 would do?

They'll stretch about 1" in the waist after a month or two of wear. The size 30 may work for you, you'll have a fairly snug waist while you wait for it stretch out over the first few weeks of wear.

Thanks for the quick reply. I also have a pair of Warehouse 800xx in a size 31 which fit very snug in the waist initially and now have stretched quite a bit with about 2-3 weeks of wear (almost 32" now) which work well (could use another quarter inch or so), but the rise is .75" lower than the MF. So wasn't sure if the 30 or 31 would be best

@kiya, do you happen to know if you'll ever be receiving a stock of FCL Raymond model jackets in the future?

Fine Creek has no plans to make the Raymond model again as a in-line stock model. Many of the jackets they produce they only make for a single season.

Maybe it's just a U.S. thing? According to this, they are taking preorders for more coming between April and September 2022. That's why I asked.

I should have been more clear... The Raymond is available as only a pre-order buy jacket.
I generally shy away from trying to get clients to order a jacket as a pre-book if we've never carried the model before as each model's sizing is slightly different and we'd hate to have a for a client to pay for a jacket, wait a year, then have it not fit.

With that said... they haven't shown the entire SS22 line yet, so we have no idea what in-line models will be offered next year.

Pure Blue Japan Extra Slub Denim Jeans

New Pure Blue Japan! The EX-019 Extra Slub denim jeans are here. This is the straight tapered version of the EX-013 jeans we received last month. This 17.5 denim is woven at a very low tension with a super short staple cotton, giving the fabric extreme character. These have a slightly higher slub level than their previous “Super Rough” series and with bit more waviness to the denim.

You can find these along with the slim tapered version now at all stores.

Iron Heart Thermals, Shirts, Jeans & Everything Else

We've got a large shipment this week from Iron Heart containing jeans, sneakers, jackets, belts, and new thermals and shirts.

For Iron Heart's new denim shirt they've taken a pure indigo dyed warp and a black sulfur dyed weft and woven them together to create a beautiful 14oz denim. The shade on this denim is unique and will look wild once it’s lightened up with some wear.

The new thermals from Iron Heart are great for layering or just to wear alone. They’ve got some very cool 4-needle flat seam construction and chainstitch run-off from the sleeves and hem; get em now in black or gray.

We've also got loads of new production runs of jeans, belts, sneakers, and denim, corduroy, and horsehide jackets. You can find all these items now across all stores.
