It feels cold back here in the UK so i wore a pair of jeans for the first time in ages.. Hakusan Orgueil Sack Coat Dapper's Indigo Dot Devi's TMC Railman

Can't wait for cooler weather to get these back in rotation.

DSB ‘47 I like that it’s very obvious the pocket flap was removed

Meanwhile, patched over the opening to the left front pocket earlier this week with fabric from the cut off hem of one of my Tender Co. shirts, dyed w/ Prussian blue. I’ve stitched over a few seams, previously, but this is the first real repair—almost always is, for me. I really love how the pocket bag denim is fading; it’s a beautiful rich blue. Plus: photos before the upcoming wash, I think no. 5 or 6?

got hands on the free land 1920s chore: raw deetz (pretty starchy tough for a lighterweight denim) then fit (post 40c short wash n line dry)

The (now) annual Dad and lad weekend away in the Peak District, infamous OO Soul country Quick pit stop en-route at Porter Coffee on Sharrow Vale road - £17 for 2 butties and £1 for parking - how much! Hardly a Sheffield accent to be heard, southern tones aplenty - gentrification of S-codes? Took the WoMs for a walk around Bamford Edge... totally staged pic looking out over the Hope Valley It's a strictly carnivorous weekend - we packed 4.4kg (yes I weighed it) of ribeye, T-bone, lamb... will we get through it all is the question And a sauna to finish the day off...

earlier this week. Rick Owens copying Oakley, Helmut Lang copying Fred Perry from 1997 I think and Helmut copying Levi’s from the 00’s as well, but the wescos are real. Been recovering from surgery this summer and have only been fading a lovely pair of black warp/grey weft drkshdw jeans… I’ll have to make a post in Unknown Non-Japanese Brands when I get around to taking pics

A 7 hour round trip yesterday to Loughborough University athletics stadium for my lad to run for just over 2 minutes… a great experience and result so it was well worth it

I bought myself a house in a town in the blue ridge mountains. I’m happy.

chopper pants en route. I told Seichiro I was hesitant because I love everything but the plastic buttons on the fly. I’ve had other pieces where the buttons crack and break over time due to the washing and drying. He said he can replace them for me. He always goes above and beyond.

Thanks for the warm welcome, all! I tried to photograph all the details of this pair. Does anyone know what the various numbers on the hang tag indicate? I'm referring to 7750 00, No. 70-00-5047 and Col. 93. It seems like the barcode is actually a combination of No. + Size + Col + 4.

Earlier this week Mrs. CSL and I decided to escape the heat and head to the California Coast for a few days. We had no definite plan other than to stop wherever seemed interesting and fun. Half Moon Bay was our first stop. After a night in a very smoky hotel room (from a fireplace apparently without adequate venting) we found a nice row of horticultural shops. Lot's of nice orchids here. We bought a few. Then we headed to San Carlos to visit Brogueshop (I lied when I said there was no definite plan...).It's a beautiful store and perhaps the only place in the US that stocks Freewheelers? Definitely the only one that stocks Timeworn/AtLast Co. It was great to see their products in person. A cap and glasses that I didn't buy. I did snag some things however, and Mrs. CSL got a sweater (already put away). I really didn't need another FW flannel shirt but as I've now become fond of saying, "Sometimes even when you don't need it, you need it..." We headed back to Miramar Beach, had dinner and searched for lodgings, finding a nice B&B by the ocean. Obligatory seagull pic His tracks and mine (Paraboot as usual). I think these structures are some kind of an art gallery made to look like a viking stave church I think. The next day we headed south planning to stop somewhere around Monterey. Encountered what I'm told is an authentic British pub along the way😉. 1st wear for the new FW shirt. Now it'll be in the closet until November probably. After this we encountered some LA grade traffic around Santa Cruz. After driving round in circles trying to get to a Starbucks, mainly for the bathroom we took a random road and pulled into a parking lot to regroup. By a complete coincidence we were at the Universal Audio facility. Those involved with music and recording will no doubt be familiar with the brand. Braving the road again we started our search for the night's accommodations. We found a place in Pacific Grove which worked fine as we weren't bothered about being in Monterey proper. (I visit there every year for a music festival). We enjoyed the neighborhood. A good selection of restaurants, record shops (one with a bar), and an art museum focused on local artists of the Steinbeck era, most or all being associated of his. I was very keen on this guy's work, of which I was previously unaware. After that we had lunch and visited an antique mall. I didn't buy these books but thought them cool enough to photo. Then it was back to the 101, and gradually rising temperatures, before arriving home at sunset. Since I can't figure out how to delete these extras let's call them bonus pics.

About 4 months of wear in my SOA03 with washes each month

Thanks @MJF9! Hope to be added to the list of cancer survivors. I guess I'll make this a PSA (public service announcement) on the PSA (prostrate specific antigen). All men should know (eventually) about their PSA level. It is a possible indicator of prostate cancer. If your general physician doesn't do an annual test for this in your blood labs, have them add it. While it's not a 100% fool proof test, if it is rising (hence the annual check to keep tabs) and you also have other symptoms (which can be very vague) then an MRI may be warranted. My story is no drug use, no smoking, low alcohol use and only one person with cancer in my family background. But the symptoms can be very little things that add up over time and you may pass them off as "I'm getting older". Pay attention to your urinary function and your sexual function and give all details (even minor) to your doctor. It can add up to an aggressive tumor in your prostrate, which can also spread cancer to other regions (luckily, mine did not). I'm just putting this out there because it may help even one of you catch things early!! Stay healthy and listen to your body. Cheers

On a little music tour, me and a drummer, staying in houses of folks involved with organizing the concerts. Meanwhile at home our valley is on fire again (The Gifford Fire), it's only been about a month since the last one. The fire crews are getting a lot of work this year...

Flat head, canes, lone wolf. I love this shirt!

Washed my 1880s and 1890s. Obvs I've posted the 1880s a lot here - the last new Cone denim design, natural indigo grown in Nashville. Thye are fabulous. What we love with denim is now different jeans wear in differently. These crock a lot - but the areas without wear retain their colour. These have had a lot of wear, maybe 18 months of summers. Marbling at the back of the legs is lovely, I will post a pic when I can. The 1890s (left on the dual pic) are Kurabo, the jeans are posted as new right at the beginning of this thread. Kurabo's version of the early fabric is very green. I like that too but it doesn't have the micro texture of the Cone. These were really hard to wear in, almost no crocking with wear. THey are now my main summer jeans as I can't bear to retire my 1880s, which have now those little loose threads that signals that heavy repairs will soon be needed.

Four-wash @ 30 degrees, spin 800 for 45min. I’ve mostly been wearing shorts since last - still, they were smelling musty so in they went but gently this time. Obviously not much change since last yet here’s some new photos:

Been meaning to get this thread started for a little while, was just waiting for my second pair to arrive. The first pair (which was previously posted in the Unknown JP brands thead), was produced in the later half of '23 using the LF44 denim. This second pair (which I just received over the weekend) are made using the SO02 denim and are similarly based on a '47. The one thing that I find very interesting and hard to describe with this jeans is the "three-dimensionality" that you can feel in all the folds where different layers of fabric intersect. He mentions it often on his blog and Instagram, but there's something about it in person that is very unique. And here's some comparison shots, I haven't washed the SO02 yet and I've been wearing the LF44 a bit.
