It’s like getting access to the best denim museum in the world.

You should also visit the discussion thread on the Superfuture – Superdenim forum. I think that Michael Allen Harris has been posting numerous updates and additional pictures to the discussion thread.

Recently got this USN Denim Jacket from Real McCoys.  10 oz denim.

It was no-wash, and shrank a lot.  You can see a lot of shrinkage in the chain-stitching across the top of the pocket in the below pic.

Even after the wash the sleeves were very long…  so I decided to do a home-style stitching.

The coat buttons are listed as iron.  They are a flat black, but I’m expecting that they will burnish over time to something more like the Buzz Rickson’s version of this jacket.
