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

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

post soak fit on the WWII OOE

Vintage Chippewa with homemade bootstrap and some wide leg LEE jeans.

now he wears a lot of Rick Owens so it's likely that he wears these sneakers too.

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/

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 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!

found those on Ebay:

feels like 90s Thom Yorke would have worn Nose.. anyone remember those? I recall a written interview where he was described as having "stepped into a pair of small hovercraft"

The market will bear what it can. 1,986 EUR for DrySkin and it sold out in a day? We go up

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

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

those look really great!!

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.

I think this design is a lot more understated and not flashy at all. I used to exclusively think of Rick Owens from the goth-ninja perspective. Guys like this.

Another new to me pair of vintage Justin's boots.

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)

Made a new friend

ACME inspired 1950s/1960s SEARS branded "Roy Rogers"? cowboy boots with decorative stitching and red white and blue "Thunderbird" inlays. A bit of a personal holy grail. Years ago in the middle of my previous vintage country/ rockabilly dive I starting seeing mid century ads for these ornate old cowboy boots from companies like Nacona, Miller, and ACME. Very common in the middle part of the 20th century due to the popularity of entertainers like Rogers and the ever present Westerns that Hollywood was churning out, these designs grabbed my attention immediately. After a few lost auctions on EvilBAY and after holding a few pairs of far too gone crumbly examples I had kinda given up hope. Good examples can go for hundreds and they were getting scarcer and scarcer. And then these fell into my lap. Showing some obvious signs of age but the leather is still robust and they are still very wearable. And the best part? They are in my exact size. 🖤 These will get a deep condition and a polish, a toppy for the soles and will only be brought out for special occasions and light duty.

Bit of a change for me. Crocket and Jones Chelsea number 5 in dark roughout on a danite sole. Need to get a dark leather or rough out belt to go with them.
