They had two different models of Warehouse jeans. One was a western cut and the other was a wider cut WWII or pre-war style jean. I didn't try on the western cut and the other pair was just too relaxed for my taste with way too much room in the seat.

I really liked the slim straight fit Fullcount model that looked like it was based on a Levis 501, but there were only 3 pairs. None of which were close to my waist size. The FC's were by far my preference as far as the brands that they carried in-store.

The Orslow 107's fit really well. Just a touch too baggy in the seat. I honestly didn't think their quality was significantly better than the Bronson 1969 selvedge jeans that are $200 less though. That's what kept me from purchasing a pair of 107's.

The two employees that helped me (both were wonderful and one was wearing an original USN A-2 BTW), weren't sure on the M-43 sizing. I think they'd have both 9.5's and 10's shipped to the store. I have in-laws approximately 1 hour SW of Santa Fe, so I'll likely do that the next time that we visit.

Warehouse, Fullcount, OOE, Real McCoy's and other Japanese made denim can be outstanding, but IMHO nothing compares to the old White Oak plant, Cone Mills denim made from American cotton. FWIW, S&S NYC had a limited supply of Mr Freedom 50's cut jeans made from dead stock White Oak denim that looked really good but given the rarity of the denim were out of my price range.

Micro heat wave, well 18° so its perfect for my GW RW 42-141-P skin crave. Staring at the Triumph and wondering if I should take her out for a spin...

FWIW, @coolhandluke, S&S has those Mister Freedom jeans in stock in everything but 33. If you’re comfortable ordering online, they are available.

Sorry, not a great photo, but here's my two purchases from the last couple days of shopping in Santa Fe. A Freenote RJ-1 waxed canvas riders jacket from Standard & Strange and a Stetson Stratoliner from Santa Fe Hat Co. I overpaid for the Stratoliner out of ignorance (it's my first real hat of any decent quality), but I'll chalk it up as part of the experience.

Freenote RJ-1 Jacket - Rust Waxed Canvas (2022 Edition)

The RJ-1 is one of the OG Freenote pieces, returning year-after-year with slight revisions and tweaks as the brand has continued to grow and develop. Made from a 10oz Martexin waxed cotton canvas, they're as close as you can get to a leather jacket without wearing any actual leather, featuring a...

Stratoliner Fedora

An icon of the Stetson brand since 1940, the Stratoliner fedora takes its inspiration—and its name—from an aircraft that helped kickstart the golden age of innovation. The same year, Boeing introduced the first-ever commercial airplane with a pressurized cabin. Called the Stratoliner, it was...

For real Danny, this is one of the coolest photo's I've ever seen on the forum. The outfit, the stance, the look, the jacket - everything. If I may ask, what hide is the A-2?

I have yards and yards of original cone denim if you want to have a pair made.

Thank you for the kind words man, appreciated.

I acquired the jacket second hand and my understanding is it could be shinki, veg tanned, but no info in the finish.
