I keep forgetting to check in here. A healthy sign perhaps? Quick little update on my jacket I got from Double 00 some years ago. Still going strong.

Phigvel wide officer trousers. Fit is pretty good but I wouldn’t be surprised that they’ll shrink with wash. Price wise, I was very reluctant to pay 30000 yen plus for some chinos so these had to be worth it. The quality is very good and the attention to detail such as the cloth garbidine pockets, hidden key pocket in right pocket, stitching etc made this a go for me.

It's been a while since I posted but I thought people might be interested in how some of my leather goods are ageing Star of the show is my messenger bag - can't remember how old but must have been close to the first season. Also a wallet of similar vintage and a pair of boots. All mellowing very nicely. I am a desk jockey in terms of work so pretty gentle use compared to some.

Care packages from Hoosier have arrived. 🙇‍♂️ Yellowstone. Urbanite. (These came out a bit overexposed.) Henley and Motor Cyclone tee, Hoosier special version. Derrickman in duck.

Love my wabash workshirt. Stubborn as hell, keeps the indigo so well. Guess I’ve had it for 10 years now? Highly recommend it

it is in China..😄. he uses Japanese made UJ cotton threads and had trimed my hems with 2 color threads(orange outside, yellow inside) as well! After one wash, the cotton chain stitch will shrink and the roping effect will come out.

just had my new 0105w's red tab done and back by a good tailor, pure cotton thread sewn.

And over 13 years later a pair shows up on Ebay and I didn't even hesitate. These jeans have lived in my head for over a decade and now they are finally mine. I wish they were a little darker but this still feels like a miracle.

Saw this good offer. Wabash shirt, 12 oz, work and western. This is an older version, I think. Work shirt https://item.rakuten.co.jp/myu-clothing/7014w/ Western: https://item.rakuten.co.jp/myu-clothing/fds10/

Received J117 in M from drop A, holy shiiiit sizing is screwed up lol. Im 5’8, 163lb and have perfected fitting J97 and P39 PR + T-shirts all in medium that fit perfectly. J117 looks and feels like fucking xxl, how is it possible to make the sizing so inconsistent for ACR brand. I hope someone is reading this and taking notes at ACR. Damn lol.

Some old Studio D’Artisan 15oz. Wore these from about 2018 - 2020. Working on some Samurai S3000VX25oz-MB right now (on / off).

Hehe yeah, could be. Miss all the banter.

The "A" never meant removable cuffs. You can check out these styles that use a similar naming scheme without having removable cuffs. P10 - P10 A P23 - P23A P24 - P24A

Seriously, a legendary piece of denim history. I've been looking for a pair ever since. Seen lots of speckled denim since but none quite nailed this. I'm pretty stoked. Also found the Left Field x Blueblack Greasers in the Collect Mills midnight denim in my size and those are gorgeous too.

The 30's could be an option, but those are much wider in the thigh than I'd like. Really, I'd just like for TCB to redo the black 50's, I have two pairs both the black and the standard, and by far they are my favorite cut out of all the pants I own... I might just wait to see what TCB comes out with this year and go from there. Just for reference, here are my black 50's and black Sugar Canes: TCB 50's 3 years of wear: Sugar Canes 7 years of wear off and on?

a couple photos from the 1940's .

3009’s

I’ve been really tempted by the vest version The jacket would be a lot more appealing to me if not for the pen pocket and the other small pocket right below it—I have trouble imagining what I’d ever use either of those for in practice

I was joking lee.. RMC have been the kiss of death for quite a few retailers in recent years. ..or was I?

@MJF9 I'll work on some fit pics, I've been slacking on those lately. I'm a big fan of it, little bits of selvedge everywhere. If you look at the full resolution photos you can see them along the placket, pocket flaps, etc. It's an A-shaped jacket, so slimmer shoulders up top and plenty of room at the bottom. Also not super heavy, so should be nice for layering.

@Broark nice!! That Yellowstone was calling my name but couldn't justify it after the TCB duck coat from last year. Interested in your thoughts and fit pics if you get chance... vicarious living!!

@Bobbo sick jacket... perhaps unhealthy not to check in more often mate

In the meanwhile, 1 week after the purchase and still nothing has been shipped.

They are a hard brand to defend /support over the last few years but I still have a spot for them. Never owned a pair of their jeans but have always considered a pair just to scratch the itch. Their sweats, ts and jackets are great IMO. I'm popping into R&H in a week or so , might close my eyes really tight and ignore the fact everyone has warned against the jeans and try a pair on!🙈

Not smart to post the address that is registered to your family’s healthcare solutions business, and also searchable and publicly available lol.

Yeah for sure. I appreciate you guinea pigging and providing feedback on the fit. Personally couldnt do it because of the split rib collar where the zipper doesnt go all the way down.

I get it and did check the measurements haha. Just wasn’t expecting to drown in it. Also, in my humble opinion it’s not worth the price tag

No, SS23 was the last Shadow season after it was passed from Errolson’s team and handed over to J.Schneider then that was it - now dead and gone. Shame but it went slowly downhill especially after 2011, nevermind.

WTS: LA6B-DS (2017) black in size L, 550 EUR + shipping (and paypal fees if not ff), located in Germany

Unfortunate. Let it be known that when buying anything online * Always Paypal Goods and Services * When trading, both should send to a trusted 3rd party to facilitate even if it costs more.

WTS J46-S RAF XL 8/10 apart from cuffs which are worn. (Shown in pics) No logotape but does have jacketsling. £850 + Postage depending on where you are. More pics - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/vsdkyy0avp57rig23hldr/h?rlkey=2wvqwsqqzcrgkfs0x86yttjpi&dl=0

Yes, I am! Hello. Sorry guys for being off topic. I'm posting here because I haven't even gotten a reply to my DM. I have been waiting for over a month now. Please return the jacket I sent you or give me the one you were supposed to trade.

Orizzonti-era XX pair. Both @JohnM and me had our takes on a deadstock pair but either the seller didn't want to sell to a proxy service or someone else was quicker...

Tcb seaman Warehouse 1004 Birks + socks

WTT: 3a-1 3a-5ts 3a-mk1 3a-mk3 x2 all peeled L1 As my wardrobe is changing to all black again I am unfortunately not seeing me wear this setup anymore. It took me quite a time to get all this matching stuff togehter, it’s too nice to not wear it. It goes super well with RAF or alpha. I would like to trade for, in best case, the same setup in any black version. An black 3a-6ts would be interesting too! X

U-tip shoes 23AW restock Been looking for similar shoes as the ad above for a while, and those hit the mark perfectly. Same sizing as the many heritage shoe brands on the market(9.5D). Despite the bulky appearance the footbed are actually very narrow, the arches are only about three fingers wide and the front foot are definitely tighter than the standard D width.

and some pictures

Here we are at 9 months, and finally in stock! New type 122 Pleat Back Jeans, based on 132s but with pleats into the waistband instead of a yoke, and no back pockets: I'll sort out some fit pics soon, but I've really been enjoying wearing them- I rarely use the back pockets of jeans which have them, and I've found the lack of yoke and pocket bulk to be really comfortable to wear.

Gave the 221 another warm soak, air dry and got a bit more shrinkage but not overly noticeable. I'm typically a 33 in most Japanese denim but opted for a 34 in this cut just to not have something too snug on my waist. Overall, this cut fucking rules.

Couple of shots of my Warehouse jeans + cat

Been a minute since I've been on here... Had to rebuy one of my favorite pairs of jeans as they were literally starting to fall apart after three years of on and off use. Don't really see myself getting any other kind of jeans., these are a perfect fit for me and material quality is unmatched. IH-777-XHS

Today I returned home after 10 days and there was waiting for me package from Hinoya. Warehouse 1000XX DSB 25th anniversary. Pink tab, pink selvedge, vegetable deerskin label.Side belt loops are offset. Feeling of DSB is really very close to what I remember from my childhood and teens age.... Hinoya had 2 weeks ago couple of pieces on theirs on-line shop. Sold out in 24 hours... Has anybody clue to which historical pattern are those pairs related ? And what is difference between 1001 and 1000 ?

Yours look great Edwin. I’ve worn my TCB Seamens over summer so not much to report. Here’s how they’re looking these days:

checkin in with a much needed update on these. @unders how’s your pair coming along?

my DD 1003XX just after 2nd wash

Warehouse 1003XX, 2-3 summers of wear on a light-ish weight denim (feels like 12.5-13oz but I’m not sure). Real colour is quite a bright blue, in between the darker full length photos and the lighter close-ups.

Another sunglasses case - this time for @srudy … I’m making a fancy ass tote bag from the mud cloth and the shrunken horse (I used on the little post bag) and I think I’m getting obsessed about not having any waste from a hide (or at least as little as possible so I’ve made this and some other small goods to add into the bag package The great thing about these hides I used is the flesh side is sueded and soft as butter so absolutely ideal for things like glasses. And again I’ve stiffened up the snap side with some texon between two layers of the leather.
