I picked up a book of porcelain enamel signs for signpainting reference material, and was surprised to see several denim / workwear brands represented! Interesting that many of them have been revived in Japan as well.

Inspiration 01s just arrived, will get some photos up comparing them to the 03s.

Saw the spectacular amazing and talented Sierra Ferrel this week and had to get my Y'all-ternative on. Barlesoni Homburg Lots of rings Cropped Levi's Western shirt Vintage 1984 Olympics tee (as worn by Val Kilmer in Real Genius) Painted leather belt Mister Feeedom Outlaw Vintage Justin's with tulip inlay and homemade bootstrap. This T shirt is one of my most prized vintage items and probably the rarest tee I own. Obviously no provenance but since it came from California you can't prove it's *not* the screen used shirt!

Honestly, I’m just seeing these exaggerated ‘machinist errors’ as a bit of a joke now. Every new effort seems to want to outdo the last one. I know I have a slightly different view to how this ‘poor quality’ might have manifested itself originally but these modern iterations just don’t convey the spirit of wartime efforts - more like they are ‘ripping the arse out of it’* *reproduced from The Dictionary of Modern Scottish Language (current edition)

I don’t think it was ever something I loved or hated, but those old discussions are old and that just reinforces my lack of enjoyment for what’s being made now. We’ve seen it done … and probably done better. It’s a tough one though, because every label just want to sell their product and if war denim and that era is the thing they want to push then who am I to complain? After all I make a mean 30s-40s belt 😉

the brand's name is Militora.

Saint James - Duke - SC1946 - Alfred Sargent

TL\DR - scam happened, I am upset, be aware of @dcl_max, his insta, ebay, https://www.reversible.com/user/dcl_max/listings Another rant, but on me getting screwed on Reversible(ish): Found this listing of p38 on reversible from user dcl_max . After contacting him, he asked for direct payment with Alipay. Due to all feedback that he had on reversible page + eBay link and that he also on Sufu forum, I agreed and transferd fund to this wallet (I am an idiot, I know ). He shipped, and even used acronym box to do so, but when we opened it, inside was some stinky rags that someday were grey sweatpants Idk why you did something like that, risking all your rep over some petty 2.3k usd, but still. After confronting him in the chat, he stated to act like he doesn't know anything, plead to his reviews, and after that trying to blame me in changing pants on delivery etc etc So yea, this is very stupid and bad situation for me and seems like there no way to get money back (or pants) and its my fault that I got myself into transferring fund to strangers on the internet, but this will be a lesson for someone else out there. Unless @dcl_max you willing to cooperate instead of blaming me, post and customs. If so - please contact me in our DM on reversible and let's figure our shit out. Otherwise DO NOT BUY ACR from or be aware of fraud from @dcl_max, his insta, ebay, https://www.reversible.com/user/dcl_max/listings

I’ve not spoken to Seiichiro so maybe that’s the case mate - I just remember seeing something in the catalog Regardless, in the matter of shrinkage, no matter what version of denim I’ve ever had (which is all of them except this - potentially) has ever experienced residual shrinkage of any concern. So that’s the question to follow up with Seiichiro.

I was lucky enough to grab 2 of the Ooe type 2 and they’re amazing! I can post pics here this weekend.

This deliberate shoddy manufacturing style has been discussed previously at great length either early on in the CSF thread or Denimbro (or both) and is a bit marmite - folks tend to love it or hate it. It’s not for me but each to their own.

Finally got my dappers x csf aftet 5 years of wIting

How fortunate am I that my new wife insisted I wear my old Cone Mills '44 501's on our wedding day.

Good info—know which S&S they were gonna be going to, by chance? I’m even closer than I used to be from the Oakland one, these days, and I think I have some store credit to burn…

No I didn't go to the event, Hudson Hill was helping them sell some pairs via Instagram. Not sure if they're all accounted for or not. Sounds like they'll have some jeans for sale at S&S this upcoming weekend. Hudson Hill told me they had these 01s and some 03s Interested to see what's available at S&S this weekend if anyone makes it out there!

I've bought from him twice (S27-AD + S27-PR) on reversible in 2022, and both were pretty positive experiences. I definitely feel sorry for your experience, buddy, but I would rather think something went wrong in the shipping process. Anyway, I hope this shit you are experiencing can be sorted out soon.

I agree. Trying to carefully reproduce the imperfection looks ridiculous at the very least.

Finally saw some real drama happen to this ridiculous guy...I am always wondering what he really keeps in his mind for making all his ridiculous price posts since the first time I saw him on Grailed..Hope you can get your money back asap

@MJF9 thanks! It’s the Tri-P coat, a little different than the ring, but similar in a lot of ways as well. I like it a lot, I think it will get a lot of wear 3 seasons of the year here. Perfect for layering.

@Duke Mantee @MJF9 yea I asked if the wwii denim for the 1942 is the same as the s601 and Hoosier said no it’s a different denim.

After I saw the listing about a week ago or so, i instantly reported to Grailed team - replied that they would sort it out asap. From grailed photos it was ez to spot a fake. Also send him a pm. Zero reaction.

Kapital, Sugar Cane (not visible), Ooe…and Blundstones which aren’t my fave but the default choice for shitkicking in the mud season here.

understanding very much discussions above; good luck with the socialisation; takes a village to raise the child... (or via Lev Vgotsky; it is through others we becomes ourselves...) 1960s finnish army surplus (m62) / lvc 1870s / pecos

comp or not, I have made my tux order: 46 jacket, 38w jeans (requested hemming to 80cm) cons: I need another jeans like holes in heads I need another jacket like a hole in wallet these jeans are not standard easy wear; slim-ish cut, yet thin material yes; one back pocket, no belt loop for keys etc. ultimate sloppy man baby diaper look pros; nostalgieeee: for those wanting 1990s jeans; this late 1800s models is reference from which Levis late 1990s twisted jeans was running (maybe more y2k refrance, but hey...) nostalgieeeeeeee 2: these were first model I got from lvc back in the late 90s; seeing as I run a trio of tcb, tender, lvc; wanna wee what tcb do with this original pair to build from having multiple lvc examples love of the meta; yes; no.2 as brand positioning... the first two Viktor's voice jackets don't look right (inc. lucky jeans): this is getting there more imo; mostly also tcb is obviously developing its own specific jacket pattern methodology of wide shoulders and sloppy fits: the numbers on this look squarer, even if not 'classic'... pockets looks excellent; both back pocket on jeans and front pocket on jacket yes to the styling in the shoot; not miner cosplay; more skatecore and sloppy old 'uns style: I appreciate that (definitely recommend not skating in any jeans with suspender buttons; had some nasty sk8 face-plants when wearing such jeans: they are placed to puncture skin in painful bony areas...); feeling this is a track suit more than anything... want to see how the fabric ages; every tcb pair I've had has been a journey; even the 10oz bib overalls have a lot to give: I expect these will be giving a lot given the status play of making an 1890s from an original; not had natural indigo from them b4 huge plus: ultimate sloppy man baby diaper look; goes well with pecos and converse... experience: said this in all comp. threads; every tcb jean I have owned has shrunk to tagged waist size; more ppl have dropped out from jeans being too small rather than too big... wearing big on these across time also allows layering needed in winter... yes; 31cm front rise seems small, but is in line with the last cone 1870s lvc offering (picture uploaded here is said w.36 l.34 pair - from raw soaked - line dried, not machine washed ) - the back rise is the core matter... can definitely understand hesitancy in uptake for a comp. - its not classic 5 pocket jawns, jacket has particular character; but it is what it is... a marmite model...
