Asian tailoring brands redux
Hey,
I made a thread awhile back looking for examples of these (thank you to those who contributed to it, I am sorry for not writing a response!)
@Shrimp my Ride and anyone else who may know: are there any brands I can proxy search for that make jackets with a low gorge and buttoning point? I know of course about the anthology. Additionally looking for full cut trousers as well as OCBDs with a 14 collar that are a full cut.
Thank you!

milsurp serge wool weight
Hi,
Does anyone have any experience with vintage US milsurp serge wool pants? I'd like to have an idea of the weight of the fabric and how scratchy it is. Specifically looking into pairs made by watauga apparel corp. as I quite like my tropical polywool (pair I'm looking at is entirely wool however) milsurp trousers made by them and would like a winter pair.
Thank you!

Hi,
What's the likely offer price an eBay seller would accept for a 70s storm rider (corduroy collar model) in the US? Want to set a max price for one being auctioned elsewhere.

Hi,
I'm curious about what's out there in terms of a split toe derby with a leather sole but in a chunky shape. I really like my Paraboot Chambords for example.
Thank you!

jeans questions
Hi,
Some stuff I'm curious on:
If vintage 550s and 560s are tapered, are there any relaxed fit vintage Levi's that aren't tapered (aside from silvertabs)?
Another q: how do vintage wrangler cowboy cuts fit? I saw one where the leg opening was 8" for sz 29. I'm assuming they have other models that are bootcuts?
Thank you!
