@ton312 that length looks pretty good from here but I can see why with those jeans on you feel like it's shorter than acceptable. Since the jacket was cheap (relatively) why not go the extra mile and splash out on some 50s style jeans that will sit higher up and marry better with the jacket? If...
@dan_t yep that does look the tits no doubt about it though I imagine it must weigh a ton. As an aside, you're looking in good nick yourself too. Have you been at in the gym or on an atkins diet or something? Whatever it is, you should stick at it
given the current 4+ year queue time I suppose the value of second hand GWs in good condish must be at an all time high..
hmm.. wonder what my arcadia might fetch in today's market? @Carlos et al would 2k seem unreasonable? ;);)
I was thinking more along the lines of that guy who repros Monarchs, is it Dave Sheeley? I may be mistaken, but I think this model is a Monarch design. Perhaps @tmitchell59 can confirm whether I am getting warm here or if I'm wide of the mark. If I'm right and that bloke is the Monarch's guy...
well Carlos, to be fair, gauging by his queue and ability to shift stuff from the sales page it would appear he can do exactly that!

Wabash jeans are the thing I most urgently need for this autumn/winter
I'd like some high waisted wide legged ones, in a 30s cut ideally, but 40s or 50s could work too. Best case scenario for me would be for SJC to bring out wabash brakemans (i love that cut) but failing this outcome are there...
@HoosierDaddy if you do order that Thedi in 40 be great if you can post up any sizing info you run into. I'm eyeing that same model for my next too, also in 40. I can see that they're short, but I'm still wondering just how short
Fantastic write up
But looking at the fit pics it strikes me as a terrible shame that this vintage classic has been made to accommodate modern trousers, though I fully get why he would do that. With it zipped can your hands access your trousers pockets unimpeded?
I have two pairs of these. Photographed are the ones I wear. For sale are the backups, which have never been out of their box.
Payment by PayPal friends and family please. Asking price is £80 shipped for the UK. Overseas customers better ask for a shipping quote, more expensive for you I'm...
