First wash after roughly 2 months. I admit I have neglected them after getting the Denime 101

Denime/Brooks Brothers/TCB/Alden

Proper British springtime photo - grey skies, washing out on the line defying the weather, bonus dog's back end as well, unsure why I'm screwing my face up so much but there we have it. Toy's Mccoy // Denime 2nd fit: same + Cushman sweat, Altra trail runners & Yeti cap In truth it’s been a difficult day, first day of both my girls in childcare, it’s not something we ever wanted to do and the drop off was emotional. Maybe that’s why I was also screwing my face up in the first photo. Anyway, some suitably dad fits. PS the 220a’s are MEGA crispy, I did not expect that!

All vintage. About to get on the tractor

Bought the super smooth fullcount wide jeans. On sale too. first time wearing them, I like them papa nui, RMC, fullcount, vans

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

Top to bottom - MF, SC, Ooe, FW, Lofgren

Vacation in the Bavarian Forest

Papa nui, sun surf, RMC, vans

Another version of my most common uniform Companion / OA / Birks

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).

SuFu messing up the formatting Hope the sleeve isn't stained, it's in the washer right now

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

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.

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.

Update on some 51s I’ve had for awhile and a fresh pair of 51s I picked up not that long ago a size down. Particularly enjoying the fades on the button fly. Almost have a back pocket rivet poking through. A few more spills skateboarding and I should be able to send out some sparks!

Union Special / Bubo / Vanishing West / Russell Really not used to wearing jeans this slim, these days

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.

Just washed these Ooe x Bandanna Almanac Before After - not much difference to colour

Looking for UFOs. MF Buzz Ooe FW 44s Oak St.

my Denime 220A involved to IIY4 - 4 months

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. \

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

Union Special / Tender Co. / Hollows / Cane’s / MOTO

Got this today

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.

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

MF shirt, Warehouse DD jeans and UES cap

Very simple and lazy fit today. I've probably had this tee on for three days. Phone is ready to give up the ghost. Future Monsters x Ebbets field wool cap Vintage "Highlander" flannel Vintage iron on tee Tooled belt with silver buckle Turquoise and Coral pin Cotton/hemp Levi's 501 Justin's packer boots

1933 / 37 set up Jacket hanging around in Malham after a walk Jeans getting some fresh air after a day on my legs - I'm holding on hopefully until mid-summer before they get a wash, see what happens

Ok, so here they are, washed a time or 2, the one on the right has been worn more by me. Labeled CR07, paper tag. The fit is just perfect, and it’s my favorite type 2 I have. I believe it’s the xx2 denim, but correct me if I’m wrong.

the brand's name is Militora.

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...

Freewheelers 1927 type 1 Freewheelers 1937 jeans Nicks boots

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.

Solid black Buffalos. I’ve had these since 2016 but wore them sparingly as I kept them for slightly smarter wear. More recently I’ve started wearing them regularly to the point where they need a crotch repair. They’re a bit darker and less grey in real life than my iPhone photos show. You can also see how Ande’s lockstitch hemming technique enables strong roping.

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.
