Could also be the contrast. Black/Black would lend more contrast to lighter things like dirt, pet hair, etc., as opposed to black/white or blue/white fabric itself having some variation in color. This probably helps obscure dirt and anything else on the surface since it's already visually broken up, but I could be wrong

I have always wanted to do a minitruck build inspired by denim. Natural leather for upholstery, ages with wear. Denim for the door cards. Contrast stitching. Copper steering wheel and shift nob. Maybe a deep metallic indigo blue paint with white rims and red brake calipers.

Does anyone else find black denim (as in black/black, non-fade) a magnet to pet hairs? Not talking about visibility either. All my black denim is like velcro to our dog; yet indigo, very much less noticeable. I was thinking it was more down to the fact that most of my indigo denim gets worn way more than my black denim thus, dirt, grime and wear makes the denim smoother and less susceptible to the hair clinging on but pure speculation.

60s jeans (one-washed) with probably ~6-8 months’ worth of total wear. I picked these up in 2019 but totally miscalculated the rise at the time, and really only started wearing them the last year now that they fit me better. I love the watch pocket “lightning bolt” that I remember @501XX4EVER pointing out about 1960s Levi’s.

On the contrary, I’m getting them hemmed. They fit great but the length is too long based on that last fit pic. Probably take an inch or two off the length.

Another Ben Hur reference? (That movie has been on my mind since Double O's chariot races comment.) PS. Still running slow for me.

At last, you've been at it long enough 😉

Flat Head hickory stripe shirt, Hollows belt, Flat Head 3003xx jeans, Viberg Service Boots. The jeans are about 5 months of real wear time and just had their first wash since I started wearing them. Also, the yellow Porsche Cayman is my dad's car, and of course my MX73 Cressida is on the right.

And some more damages

I’ll also note it’s been really slow for me, though I figure we probably have enough data points by now 😛

Yes, it's been super slow for me, I think for a few days to be honest. I thought it was an issue with my internet. Interestingly, another forum I'm on that uses the same software (but is way more active with more users) is also notably slower.

Same here

I've just got back from a week around Albuquerque New Mexico, which was totally made by extremely kind recommendations from @chicote. We're so grateful- thank you! Most of my photos are of family, but here are a some solo/landscape highlights, some including Working slack jeans: landscape just outside Corrales, where we were staying, on the way to a site of hundreds of Native American petroglyphs: which appear on rocks where black 'glaze' of oxidised iron is scratched away to make a lighter mark of the rock beneath: they were not easy to spot, here's a close up: we also saw a coyote clambering over the rocks, and the rest of my family saw a thorny devil (aka hornytoad, squirts blood out of its eyes), and we saw lots of anole lizards and 5-line skinks. Throwing a rock across the Rio Grande: the riverbed is almost totally dry at this time of year, where we were: best meals we had (we returned!) were at Itality in Albuquerque, on a plaza for indigenous-owned businesses, serving entirely vegetable local Native American food. It was fantastic, this photo doesn't really do the food justice but the stew was great (lentils, green chiles, summer squash), as were the 'pueblo tacos', and fry bread, which has a problematic history (devised from US-provided rations during enforced relocation), but seems to be a part of the NM culture now and tastes really good: up nearer Santa Fe the altitude is seriously high, and the clarity of light is spectacular. It's also a lot less hot, and a lot greener: Just outside the Jemez pueblo there's a calcium carbonate (chalk right?) 'frozen' waterfall: inside we found a crystal clear pool of water coming from a drip in the ceiling. Don't judge me, I tasted it, tasted like Topo Chico no lie Fenton lake, at the end of the same drive up into the mountains: the best bit for me was our visit to Sky City, the Acoma people's Pueblo- it's a long drive through pretty much desert to get there, but the landscape changes so radically with the geology that the drive itself was one of the best bits. It's at the top of a mesa (flat top mountain) and we got a bus up, and a tour by a woman whose family have a home there. Here's the view from the top: and the streets: a stairway to the skies (the top horizontal is a cloud, the verticals are rain) bread oven: the walk down is on very steep steps cut into the rock, with scooped hand holds: on our last day we went to Tinkertown, halfway up to Sandia Peak, which is the mountain that looks over Albuquerque. It's barely describable, but it's a gallery/workshop/home of Ross Ward, who was a sign painter and model maker. There are thousands of carved figures and scenes, a lot of them automata, mostly in the circus/fairground vernacular. Plus a boat that his brother built and sailed around the world, plus vast collections of pretty much anything you can imagine, all jammed into tight wooden corridors and rooms built out of concrete with thousands of glass bottles set into them, which act as windows, like this: bonus picture, I thought it was really cool that construction workers had hard hats with clip-on wide brims and sun/insect nets: Again, @chicote I'm just so grateful for all the time you took putting this itinerary for us together, I think we did all but one thing you suggested, which was too far of a drive. Best trip in ages.
