All vintage. About to get on the tractor

Black ‘50s, don’t remember if / when I’ve posted these in the past Color truest in the all-the-way-zoomed-out photos, and I’m the angled shots up the lengths of the legs

Thanks to my constant weight gain, these fit slimmer than I expected the 03 cut from Ooe. SOA03XXD, size 36

Picked this up on Yahoo for my partner and I’m mega jealous No idea when it’s from; I don’t recognize the buttons from any of my M-series Lee’pro jeans. Thoughts / references? I don’t recognize the denim itself, either, but that’s no surprise. The liner feels like cotton / poly (oh well), and it’s done proper, built as it’s own almost-jacket and just connected to the denim at the waist, collar, front plackets, cuffs—no shared seams on the body or sleeves

I had talked myself out of getting these and then I tried a pair on.

On my now annual May visit to Seattle. My daughters and son in law got me Tender 130s Wattle dye, at Blue Owl. Good birthday!! Love them. My family and the jeans. With vintage STP shirt.

Had this pair with me during our recent vacation so it needed another wash.

Aaaaannnndddd they're done. Still gotta wash them to get rid of anything from the mill, but they're done. The waistband went much easier this time around. Decided to baste it in place and that made a world of difference (last two pics). I had far less problems getting the needle to grab the inside edge. Went with tucked loops again. Also pleased with how easily my zig zag machine did bartacks on the loops. I think this Janome might run smoother than my 201. He also wanted 7 loops instead of the standard 5 because he likes how it keeps his belt in place better. I'll update with fit pics in a couple weeks after his birthday. Things went really well on this pair though. I wasn't able to use my compensating foot because I realized the needle bar nicks it slightly and I don't want to mess anything up on my Singer. So I had to do most of the topstitching by lining the edge up with the presser foot toe. It was a good lesson in sewing straight and patience, but I think it made me a better sewist because of it.

MF shirt, Warehouse DD jeans and UES cap

The '42 jeans are coming through... living vicariously on these... look forward to the reviews

Picked up a nice pair of vintage lace-to-toes. The cat seems to approve.

Encinitas after wash. Really nice subtle texture to this fabric, and the green caste is a nice change from the purple & red hues we see more often.

Long time no post... So on the topic of those Ukrainian Ande's on eBay, like everybody else i suspected the seller's measurements were off and did my own calculations. I took a (semi) drunken punt and low balled an offer which was accepted. I can happily report the inseam is a 30" not a 26", and as such fit me perfectly. The jeans themselves i'd say have probably only seen a months wear perhaps? Not even that....The only thing the seller neglected to mention was that this was the rainbow nep edition that Ande did, but it's fairly subtle & i actually kind of like it. Feels like a 13oz. Pretty stoked with them to be honest...

Bootleggers 213 from about 20 years ago - you all know it’s rare as hen’s teeth and it’s actually the only one I’ve ever seen. Size 40 The leather patch is gone, and the fading is heavier in some areas but there’s a ton of life in it yet - the denim is in great condition, it’s not getting thin or frayed in any area Happy to listen to any fair offer

Wickett & Craig harness and Japanese hardware except the brass saddlers rivets … amazing how much harder brass is than the traditional copper

400T. 5 months of wear, 2 washes, first wash wasn't until after 3 months and felt necessary after 2 weeks of daily wear travelling throughout SE Asia. These get 3-4 days of wear per week at least, and were the only pair of jeans I wore from mid-January until maybe a month ago. Other than my Warehouse 800xx, these are the quickest fading pair I've worn, and the surprising amount of vertical fading is a nice addition. Excited to see how they'll look after I hit the 1-year mark.

WWII OOE arrived. Almost need to go up three sizes for a proper looser fit

Freewheelers Goldminer in Vintage 9oz Cotton (60%) / Linen (40%) Indigo Denim It’s been washed once and worn a few times but it’s not unfair to say it is near new condition Size 40 As ever, any fair offer will be considered

Very late to the party... Didn't really got the info these Nike Killshot 2 became available outside of J Crew and would be available in Germany. They were even on sale. they will replace my Veja soon, as those are pretty hammered. Also same colorway.

I bought a version of this jacket a few years back from Yahoo Auctions. I don’t get to wear it much, and I’ve genuinely debated cutting out the lining so I can wear it more.

Just want to say that since joining this forum I've had a lot more enjoyable discussions about denim than I've ever had over on reddit. Those weirdos get so sensitive lol.

Yeah I still frequent the sub and try to help out as much as I can in the daily questions threads. I see @beautiful_FrEaK and @julian-wolf in the dq thread all the time too. I like that the wash/don't wash divide leans towards wash these days though. People post their jeans that haven't touched water in over a year and there's always (deserved) comments about stench. But you'll still have people show up accusing you of not showering enough if you suggest that washing monthly or so is the best way to prevent stinky jeans.

It's just very different interests, IMO. I used to lurk there years ago and almost all interest was in N+F and other cheapish stuff (take that word in various meanings) like BraveStar and Gustin. I checked it out again not long ago and a pair of absurdly stacked N+F jeans seemed to be a hit. Cool for the people into that stuff, but it's an entirely different world than what I'm drawn to.

@fabes can't skate anymore (⁠｡⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠｡⁠) will give it a try soon.

E's excel OG

The realest vintage I’ve seen by a long shot. Your 1880s aren’t even old yet by comparison. Too bad it only exists in art now, but maybe it’s better that way. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/when-were-blue-jeans-invented-these-paintings-suggest-fashion-trend-dates-back-1600s-180984315/

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!

Now that the sun has finally started to break through the perma-cloud cover over London, I thought I'd throw away my old, worn-out green/orange Delphins and replace them with this orange/aqua pair. Hopefully they’ll put a spring in my step for Spring!

Something completely out of left field. Swung by the new Self Edge Austin location last weekend for their opening day and picked up a pair of Rick Owens sneakers. If you would've asked me 5 years ago if I would wear Rick Owens I probably would've laughed at you.

And some Vintage Justins. Obsessed. And another pair is on the way (last shot)

Been a couple days since I've had a busy week. Last night I serged and topstitched the inseam and sewed the outseams as well. My brother wanted purple topstitching down the inseam, but I got in a groove last night and used yellow. Didn't catch my mistake till after I got the outseams and the topstitching on the hips, so I had a lot of backtracking to do. I was afraid things would end up sloppy but everything stitched up nicely imo.
