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!

He probably thinks the same too! 😆

@indigoeagle Any thoughts on the boots? They look good.

Those are great if you can find them: https://www.heddels.com/2015/07/samurai-sm610dx-p-herringbone-selvedge-denim-work-pant/ e2nd has them in sz 28 & 31 here. In fact, if you go through e2nd Samurai pants page here and search for "automobile", you'll get many options for work pants in a variety of patterns and fabrics.

I haven't looked at UES for quite a while. Forgot how much l liked their stuff... Thanks for the trigger @blooming....

They are great @Geeman, just a bit too tapered to work with the outfits I've been preferring. I got a pair of UES 400T back in January that fit the niche for a tapered cut a bit better. The 50s denim is so nice though, I'll be glad to have that option again.

I'm considering a second pair of 50s slims!

I broke down yesterday and ordered a pair of 50s from BEARS. I love my 50's Slim, but the fit isn't working as well for me these days.

Colimbo Full Count 0105 TwoMonkeys The Colimbo House of Richeld sweat shirt has a boxy and relatively short vintage fit. The sleeves crease nicely and it has the Spalding like cuffs (not sure, what the term for that is).

Loving these mega close-ups! These are looking great, I've found mine can take a real beating and show very little wear for it. Also kudos for getting anything like this done with a new baby around!!

Here are some close-ups of my TCB 50's that I've worn since last August in rotation with my WH 1001xx. They are relatively slow fading, but some electric blue highlights are showing through in the slubbier and higher wear areas especially in the sunlight. Like the WH pair, the color of these is beautiful in natural light. The color of the front pocket stitching and back pocket corner feel truest to real life - my son was starting to fuss during these so I had to compromise on finding proper exposure and white balance on a few.

I've been playing around with my macro lens to shoot close-ups of my son, so I thought that it would be fun to take some macro shots of my DD-1001xx 1947 out of the wash. I got these minimally worn secondhand last September. The color is really beautiful in the sunlight, although the crotch has seen better days after a couple quick repairs. Originally, I was a bit lukewarm on the pre-distressed leather patch and buttons, but they look pretty nice and fit in much better now with significant wear. Back pocket, front pocket, and belt loop shots feel closest to color in true life. \

Here is the 232 post wash and dry. Fabric is still very stiff and relatively smooth with a small amount of coarseness by hand. Color has a grey cast. Size is 42. Pit-to-pit: 21.8" (5% shrinkage) Shoulders: 19" (12% shrinkage) Sleeve (shoulder seam to cuff): 25.25" (7% shrinkage) Length (back collar to hem): 24.2" (8% shrinkage) Sleeve length here makes me question whether I could make the TCB No.2 jacket work with 1.5-2" shorter half shoulder + sleeve length

I blame my dislectic, they both have Lee in their name. And I’m sure @lee porter would have been a good model too.

I personally ask Hoosier to sharpen them for me. I like to have them draw blood for a while. Hahaha
