Imagine the odds on that - being in Bangkok and finding a pair of modern day chinos that are a direct copy of an American WWII pair from a specific month in 1942. You couldn't bet on that shit.
This world is full of small miracles everyday, you just have to keep your heart and eyes open.
Have a good one.
I got flat fronts, though, rather slim, but not skinny... don't like the material very much, but I thought it might be nice for dancing... I was just wearing the stuff I had worn at the office before....
that reminds me I once wanted to get a "Stihl" chainsaw ad, printed on a tee shirt ... saw that with Judah Bauer (from the Jon Spencer Blue Explosion)...
^ Very good proportions, Sir.
Today I'm in Brown Bass Boatshoes (Natural Shoe Store, Kings Road, when? 88?) & a Navy "J. Press" Blazer with some Khaki LL Bean Cord Chinos & a Loden Andover Shop Shetland. The usual White FOTL T. Shirt & Blue Brooks Oxford Cloth BD also feature...
It's funny I never get bored with all of this...

Good to see you here Sir, adding to the mix. What fabric is your jacket? Clearly it's a tailor made job.
Best,
