  1. Past hour
  2. An end-of-the-winter wear updates on this one. It has become my favorite jacket yet. Perfect fit and the denim is lightweight so I can layer for mild weather. I ended up wearing this jacket daily. The color and texture is so hard to capture on this denim. Looks almost unbleached with a warm but gray tone.
  3. Today
  4. The vests were nice, both the duck and the denim. 10 pockets, if I recall. Enough to completely lose track of where something is 😉
  5. Yesterday
  6. Yes sir!! 300 lunges a day! 175 days straight now. leg growers for sure
  7. ^ especially with all the squats you've been doing pal!
  8. @MJF9 yea the s601xx I find crazy slIm through the top block compared to the other cuts.
  9. ^ I found the WW2 felt slim too after wearing wide jeans... however, as you said Julian, it didn't take long to swing around and get used to them. I tend to now flip in and out wearing them and all's good, especially as the denim has softened up lots
  10. WTS J33-E black size M, no bag/sheet, but blank tape included. worn sparingly, in great condition - $1000 shipped worldwide PP f&f (g&s welcome, you cover fees)
  11. They def. feel like they taper more through the lower leg than the ‘51 or the 601rb
  12. @julian-wolfI get it. I go back and forth. Some days I am wearing oversized 132’s or fullcount 0105, some days still on my 601xx 51’s (which feel like the perfect cut for me in some ways, if we’re speaking more fitted). I like the wider fits a lot but the variety is good too. The 44/45 didn’t strike me as having a smaller hem from what I remember but I won’t find out for awhile I guess.
  13. https://lcking.com/collections/mens-jeans-pants/products/lc-king-fisher-stripe-carpenter-pants?variant=14499294019651 not exactly hbt I think, but the closest I managed to find.
  14. Anyone know of any good hbt work pants? Really after these vintage sweet-orrs on eBay but they’re size 32
  15. The vests are intriguing, never really been a vest guy but seeing them wear them they look cool. A 507xx would be awesome.
  16. @Broark They just had maybe 10 pairs of jeans for sale leftover from Inspiration; most sold in the first few minutes I guess. There were also a couple of the canvas hunting vests on display (not for sale), and one in a lightweight denim that they said they were gonna be starting production on soon (!). Incidentally, Ryo was wearing his 507XX and I asked if they were planning on making more at some point; he said hopefully yeah
  17. I've been eyeing the new bandana but I've held off due to the larger size. I usually carry one of the Two Ears ones around in a back pocket during the summer to wipe away sweat. Curious what jeans they had available for sale this past weekend @JohnM / @julian-wolf?
  18. Really like the new bandanas, but they’re too big to feel practical, for me. I have a couple in that format from Two Ears Brand, and they’re super cool designs & well executed prints but they just don’t see that much use in practice
  19. Sad news out of Japan as Toshikiyo Hirata, founder of Kapital, has died. One of the highlights of my trip to Japan was visiting Kapital shops across the Golden Route. I admired the brand’s aesthetic, but didn’t think it would fit with my personal style. While a lot of the stuff they produce is too wild for me, most everything they make is high quality. My wife and I had a blast trying stuff on and purchased a few of their tamer, more basic pieces. The man had a vision and his contributions to denim and fashion are undeniable. RIP Hirata-san
  20. @JohnM ah, already thought it was you in their IG story
  21. Update on some 51s I’ve had for awhile and a fresh pair of 51s I picked up not that long ago a size down. Particularly enjoying the fades on the button fly. Almost have a back pocket rivet poking through. A few more spills skateboarding and I should be able to send out some sparks!
  22. ^ Nice Broark. Love Ooe. Saw Ryo and Hiro yesterday at S&S Oakland. Picked up a new turkey red bandana (larger than their last run). Will probably give it to my wife as men pushing 70 can look like turkeys wearing red bandanas.
  23. They’re really cool jeans, & I like the cut a lot through the whole top block, but I’m having trouble with how much they taper. I’m not sure how close the measurements would line up on paper, but in practice they feel really close to the R01, which was a favorite cut of mine for a long time, before my current wider-jeans kick. I’m sure I’ll swing back around eventually.
  24. I’m gonna buck trend and say I had Seiichiro round over the rivets on my last denim purchase and I absolutely loved it. I don’t hate the sharp rivets, but I haven’t drawn blood on the smooth rivets yet. I wished I had the rivets at the cinch on my type 1 rounded over for the sake of my car seat. It’s not damaged, but I sure think carefully every time before sitting down.
  25. Last week
  26. I also like the sharp rivets. One of my pieces - my 1922 jacket (that I otherwise really enjoy) I had to buy from Speedway and the rivets were pounded down - which I did not ask for - and every time I put it on I’m just a little bummed about it. But of course I think I just grew to like them and would not miss them or care if I’d never known the difference.
  27. Nice. I’ve got that same pair, but it’s still raw and tucked away, probably for a good while.
  28. @AlientoyWorkmachine S601XX with the herringbone pocket bags
  29. @olmecasteve I don’t typically go this route, I’ve grown to like the sharp rivets. And they tend to dull a little over time, not as much as having them machined down but more subtly. I’ve got quite a few bits headed my way from Seiichro, should post some photos here in the next couple days.
