my Denime 220A involved to IIY4 - 4 months

One for @Geeman Abbey England brass buckle - last foundry doing this in the UK now I think - and Walpier Buttero Rocky

Another update, sorry for double posting today. Got the fly pieces attached, did the crotch seam, and did the first pass on the inseam. I have to wait to serge and topstitch the inseam because I want to baste the outseam and have him try them on first. That way I can let out some seam allowance if I need to before actually finishing the inseam. This denim is really trying the limits of my 201-2. I had some troublesome spots on the last pair but nothing as difficult as some of these seams have been. Maybe this is a sign to start shopping for an industrial machine lol. I'm happy with how quick these have come along. It's cool to know that barring fit checks I can definitely knock a pair out in a weekend. If it weren't for other plans and wanting to triple check the fit of these thighs then I'd be wrapping up tonight instead of leaving it where its at right now.

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.

I think it’s one of the best denims out there, very smooth and built to last, it would be great for a competition. I really enjoyed my pair although I wish the SD-101s had a slightly higher rise (back and front).

SD-101 for my first pair of SDA jeans. I've always loved the brand and love my shirts/tees/sweatshirts, but never had any of their denim. I love the way these fit and the denim is really nice.

At last I can shake off the shame of poorly matching belt and shoes...😉 Thanks @Duke Mantee I appreciate the effort you put in to get to the finished piece, very much looking forward to receiving it.

I made a detailed review of the 3A-1-CR. I've wanted a 3A-1 for about a decade and since I own three interops jackets I knew I'd have to face that insane price point at some point in my life, so here I am!

If I'm not mistaken, Jerry Garcia preferred the Wrangler?

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

On the same page as the lads before me with the flagship denim really sturdy denim, can develop lots of character as well. Re rise: Even the 102s I had could have had more rise front and back, gets worse with the stiff denim... the 202s are the same cut, but it's less noticeable, because of the lacking stiffness of the denim.

Their standard 15oz denim is my favourite denim. With FC a close second.

I very much appreciate you asking and the trust you put in me - thank you very much

Not as much as you think - the earlier ones were catch up I hadn’t got ‘round to posting because of one thing or another

You've been quite busy @Duke Mantee

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

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

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.

Thanks, now I don't have to re-watch the film. I like Malick's films in general, but it takes too long to watch, and my ability to concentrate has diminished a lot with age. I'm not talking about joints mobility - if I try to put on a jacket like that, I'll end up in the ambulance.

@lobster_for_lunch I wonder if that’s from the set of my beautiful launderette, one of my favorite movies of all time!!

Not sure if it’s as iconic, but brilliant style in my opinion. Jeff Bridges at some point in time -
