All Activity

Progress from the last couple days. Yokes are attached, backs are sewn, and rear pockets are attached. Front pockets are done too. I've had this gingham canvas for ages and I'm glad it's getting put to use now. My brother's name is Evan, so he wanted a lowercase e on the back pockets. He also wanted a purple tab (and purple serging and inseam topstitching to match later). Added a closeup of the bartacks which came out better than I expected.

Mine should deliver to me next week along with the 11.5 oz Type I. I'll try to post once I have them, though I guess you have already seen that fit...

Thanks Paul … I just buy the coins ready made - I don’t have your metal work skills

Beautiful work Duke, do make the Japanese coin into the stud?

Not sure about that but the other day l saw some reel introducing 'pee stained jeans' so even if you're not incontinent, you can certainly have the look of some dude who's been caught short.

I heard Freewheelers are thinking of doing a line in incontinent trousers for the ageing population... calling them underalls, like overalls only different

Nice picture

Got these OOE Saddle pants from @scooby! @julian-wolf these are the jeans I grabbed. Damn near perfect fit. Very cool texture and color to the denim

I hope it's going to reappear on Sufu! The wabash I mean (as well as the model... WAYWT is calling you out mate 😉) The cardigan is another beauty... what's up... has global warming reached Scotland??

It’s a secret 🤫 … but any interest in this beauty? …. noooo not the model, the snappily named cardigan thing

Who copped this beauty?

I bought them a year or so ago. When I first saw them I wasn't so sure about this moc toe combo with dressier boots leather and sole. But like it does, it somehow grew on me. Luckily the size fit perfectly. And the boots with very nice calf leather have been very comfortable from the beginning as the Two Monkeys guys had said. I find them to be really a unique pair of boots.

More vintage Justin boots. These are a narrow build but not too snug. Love the heel height. Pretty fresh Vibram soles too.

I got so much satisfaction out of making that last pair of jeans that I told my brother I wanted to make a pair for him for his birthday. Been drafting the pattern the last couple weeks and finally got it where he wanted it. He's got a little bit more weight in his gut and thighs than I do so it was a good exercise in modifying patterns. Also bought this 1960s New Home (Janome) 532 zig zag machine off Marketplace for $50. It could hardly turn when I got it, so over a few days I doused it in kerosene a few times a day to de-gunk it. That did the trick so I oiled it up, put belt on it, and now I can do bartacks. It doesn't love going through belt loops but if you floor it it will get enough momentum to power through. Also some (admittedly poor) pictures of the denim my brother selected. He wanted a crosshatch slub so I found this stuff on Big Z. More updates to follow!
