1937s are looking so killer lately. Love the selvedge popping through the hem!

Been swapping out used toilets all week at work. So tossed the OOE in a wash to get the nasty shit off literally. This person was blind and living in filth. That’s blood and shit in the toilet. Quite depressing and eye opening.

Pardon the quality of the photos. They are screenshots from video. So yesterday around noon my dogs started freaking out. I thought a coyote perhaps, but when I looked out the window here's what I saw... After a moment of disbelief, thinking where did they come from & how did they get here, I went outside to take a look. Apparently I seemed untrustworthy & they wandered off to the far end of our property. Luckily our fences are decent, but they really didn't seem like they wanted to get out. So after making some calls 911, & getting a referral to Animal Control, someone came around & checked the ear tags. Not long after the owner showed up. He asked if I would mind driving his truck & trailer while he went in on horseback to bring them out. Would I mind?? I've been waiting all my life for an adventure like this!! Here's the rancher guiding the cows out to the road. Initially I had thought the plan would be to load them in the trailer right there but apparently cow behaviour requires a more complicated procedure. This consisted of getting the cows onto a neighboring property where there is a corral. The white car contained Mrs CSL, coming home from work btw. On first attempt rather than going to the right, the cows veered off to the left into the wrong gateway which luckily was closed. After this I was instructed to bring the truck ahead of the desired entryway & park in a position that would guide the cows in. The second attempt was successful the three cows were herded a ways back on to that property to a corral. The next operation was to get the cows into a smaller corral & back the trailer up to that gate, accurately so they animals couldn't get tangled in any gaps around the trailer. Once this was done, the rancher shoo'd the cows into the trailer, and then loaded his horse. Then back to Chez CSL to drop me off & we were done. Kinda blew my day but it was a fun adventure & I learned a few things about cows.... And I came home to find my Fullcount 30th anniversary jacket had arrived, so a good day all around.

I might have a boot problem... New to me Vintage late 1940s/ early 1950s Nocona "Pee Wee" cowboy boots with hearts and wings inlays in dark chocolate brown. Possibly Kangaroo. Vamps are impossibly soft and relatively unblemished given the age. See the ad below. The shaft has a few tears that will need repair but otherwise these are built like tanks. Nearly 75 years old! They definitely don't make them like they used to. Obsessed with the elegant profile of these. The unique shapes of the vintage lasts they used to use on boots were much more interesting and elegant than the generic modern ones. Like a vintage Coca-cola bottle compared to modern can. Curves all day. Look at that waist! The taller underslung riding heels certainly help. Big shout out to Jane and Taylor @theshopoutpost for going above and beyond the call of duty.

Props to @Deadassb for being down for a last-minute in-person meetup audible. Now I know he is both a trustworthy seller AND a cool guy. Would trade again anytime!!

As of today: One: TCB 50’s

Small update on my 03s, a little over three months of wear so far. Aiming for a little more contrast, at least initially. Will likely wear them another month or so before washing.

I use my coin pocket, for coin people in line behind me at the cash register, don’t like it, nor the cassiere. Especially when the pocket is real small. but that’s why there are self scan registers

I like the fatigue shirt jacket I have from them! Good fabric and construction. I imagine their other items are solid too.

^ I remember seeing a pair of these where the pocket patch stitching had come undone. From the outside it's blank rough-out leather, but underneath it was a standard Evisu Godhead patch, turned over and cut in half! I liked the make-do attitude. Lovely jeans, in any case

IIRC, BEARS did this already 2 years ago or so (just check this thread) and also because of FC not wanting them to undercut the overseas retailers. But the prices went back. We will see what happens.

i vouch for @Deadassb too

In case anyone is interested, I stumbled across what seems to be a very good condition for a pretty good price for a pair of size 33 2101 Leepros https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/auction/yahoo/input/h1104414259/

@beautiful_FrEaK yup pretty stubborn, three months total being the main pair that I’ve been wearing. I’ll throw a different pair into the mix every now and then, but that’s been infrequent. So maybe realistically two months of actual wear.

RMC Buco Engineers bought at RMC in Tokyo circa 2019! I haven't worn them an insane amount but adds up over the years especially with east coast weather. Gotta clean 'em up soon but thought I'd post them with all their patina before that. Jeans are RJB D105-14FW

@Hopethisoneisnttaken that’s true enough, but it’s a lot more visible.

I prefer the first pair although that thigh pocket on the painters is useful if you can fit a mobile phone in there - and obviously I don’t mean one of those stupid ones that are almost as big as an iPad!

New Warehouse tee, plus first time wearing sneakers in like 2+ years Union Special / Warehouse / Tightly Stitched / The Vanishing West / The Flat Head

Type 410 three pocket square tail shirt in Achilles' Heel indigo dyed 10oz cross weave denim... now close your eyes and say that again I ummed and ahhed over sizes and could have gone larger but opted for a shirt fit rather than shirt/jacket fit. I'd happily have another one in another fabric (top selection of fabrics kicking around) but would go a size up for layering. This fabric is definitely special, lovely 3D texture and wonderful colour. I gave it a couple of washes before wearing just to be sure to take off any excess dye (safety measure on my part; the shirt has actually had a wash after dyeing, and I understand that the dye is more firmly fixed than in a standard denim). The pics below are pre-wash, taken indoors with the light on...

@Cold Summer l've been in it too long, like well before the internet. Between 1986 and 2002 l thought there was just me who was into denim (culture) - l was so stoked to discover Sufu c.2007 (and for some years, Denimbro) that my perspective has been broadened immensely. Between 1986 and 1996 l probably owned a dozen pairs of vintage (40s-70s) 501's, and Between 1997 and 1998 l was down to 2 pairs. A pair of 505 and a pair of 501XX. Then in 1999 l bought my first pair of repro/heritage denims - Lvc 201xx Funnily enough, l think back in 2003 l had 15 pairs of repro levis and by 2005 l had double that and by 40 pairs l had to have a serious talk with myself. Now down to 12 active pairs. Just realised l've been into it now for nearly 40 years 😮

Work hat/WWII CPO/engineered garments/denime/RLPL

eh he's basically a denim consultant for a bunch of brands who's very into himself. the article quotes him several times bragging about how he walks around and sees people wear stuff that he "made" which is really irritating to read. He does seem like he has a lot of knowledge about what makes a jean fit a certain way and what kind of traits in a denim will make the jean drape well so I'll give him that but otherwise, the world he operates in is mostly of little interest to me and he seems pretty insufferable. I imagine him to be the kind of person that overcomplicates things just for the sake of making himself seem like an expert.
