The Japanese Repro Clothing Thread (Real McCoys, Freewheelers, Etc.)

[Mghart]

Freewheelers seem like a mission impossible to get here in EU or it would be noticeably more expensive than Denime 220A or Japan Blue Jeans J501. I think I would prefer 220A but it seems that thigh measurements will be on the slimmer side so I will probably go with J501.

Would love to hear if anyone has any other recommendations.

Most shops that sell freewheelers will ship direct to other countries without the need for a proxy service. So if you like a specific model that's in stock that a shop has it's worth emailing them. I used to order quite a bit from Speedway, McFly and Genco for freewheelers items.

Is there a place to buy John Lofgren at tax-free JP Pricing and shipped from Japan?

Idk if its tax free or not but if I'm not mistaken isn't speedway owned by John Lofgren? Maybe mistaken.

Who is in for the Bay Area meet up? I do think we should get dinner reservations if we're 5+

We have 6 folks so far in the Google Spreadsheet. Anyone else joining? @jtorres94 I know you said that you might not be able to make it on the 28th, but in case things have changed.

I was thinking about Drake's Dealership for dinner & drinks post the S&S visit? It's about 2 miles away and has good food and lots of drink choices. Someone had suggested something in SF, but I thought this was simple and easy. Open to other suggestions.

Drake's Dealership would be perfect for me!

It is, hence why the prices are all in dollars.

DC-4 in Berlin recently started stocking Freewheelers... but yeah expensive.

Fullcount 0105 is a nice cut?

Jelado 301xx ? (might be more similar to the Denime's in cut than J105 though)

So I am searching new pair of raw denim. I want a relaxed fit with high waist. Thigh measurements minimally 33-35cm. So far the best I have found are these models:
- Japan Blue Jeans - J501 - https://bears-tokyo.myshopify.com/products/japan-blue-jeans-circle-j501-14-8oz-denim-loose-straight (These are close to perfect measurements in that state so I am wondering if I should expect these to shrink 5-6cm like most raw denim?)
- DENIME - by WAREHOUSE - Lot.220A - https://hinoya.shop/en/collections/jeans-all/products/220a-or
- FREEWHEELERS / Lot S601 XX 1944-45 - https://mcfly-store.com/collections...601-xx-1944-45-2312441-14oz-indigo-denim-wash (also these are close to perfect measurements and it says washed but they should shrink a little more after wash?)

Full Count 0105XX
Sugar Cane Hawaii

Good luck!

I tried on the Sugar Cane Hawaii at Self Edge a few weeks back. Really great pair of jeans.

Thanks will keep in mind that Freewheelers are available at DC-4, I am not willing to pay over 350€ for denim when I can get very similar stuff for a lot less. Fullcount rise is not high enough. Jelado 301xx will probably be too slim in the leg. I wish I could just try it and same goes for Warehouse. Unfortunately no stockist in my city.

Fullcount rise is not high enough. Sugar Cane Hawaii might be solid option but need to see if it is possible to find it without the stitching on the back pocket.

It's funny, I don't actually remember that pocket stitching on the pair I tried but it's possible I just didn't notice.

Drake's Dealership would be perfect for me!

I have made reservations for 6 (there are 5 of us for dinner and/or drinks). If anyone decides to join we should be okay. However, if you decide to drop out, please PM me. I gave them my credit card and they will charge me if we have a late cancellation.

The reservation details are in the spreadsheet.
