Haven't posted in a while , give these a wash the other week No idea how long I've worn them , maybe like 3 years ? Past few summers I'm mainly in shorts

More Tender

Went into Self Edge today looking for a Hawaiian shirt fully expecting to buy something from Sun Surf and walked out with this instead. Love the print and the fit is really nice, will be bringing it on vacation next week. Plus it was my wife's favorite, so had to get it.

Old school pattern - not often I’m asked to make these (much as you might think you’ve seen it before - you probably haven’t) Wickett & Craig Bridle, Lambskin overlays, Nickel plated Steel hardware and hi-domes

#45 sack duck jeans (iPhone photos, color more saturated in person)

Walpier Buttero Rocky, Nickel Plated Brass Buckle and Double Cap Rivets

Roy’s jubilee gets, very happy! The rivets on the sack jeans are so oxidized! The chambray is so lovely, faded but not thin.

My natural indigo 1880s were a bit grubby so I gave them a handwash. For those who haven't seen them before, this was pretty much LVC's last model and, more significantly, Cone's last new fabric, an 1880s nautral indigo repro, using indigo grown in the US. It's a bit dark and my hands are a bit shaky (hangover) but this gives something of an impression. My previous natirual indigo jeans included the early Levi's Nevada/Kurabo, the SDA, Sugarcane; this is easily the nicest fabric. Crocks quite a lot but doesn't wash out, lots of crinkling. These are close to the perfect place, so for the summer I've switched to my old 1890s single pocket pair, which are Kaihara fabric I think - nice, but the slubbing is far more regular, Cone really mastered a more random slub on what would be their last new Levi's style fabric. The other pic is the field that supplied the indigo, harvested at dawn.

^thank you so much for this @JDelage, I'd love to visit the Pacific NW, looking forward to seeing a lot more of the States all over. To answer various people's kind questions, all my UK suppliers are going strong and happy to keep working with me so at least initially production will remain unchanged and I'll be back regularly to keep on top of things. I am looking forward to seeing what new opportunities arise, however, so I hope I’ll be in the nice position of only making positive changes, as and when I can. In the meantime, I had another nice email in response to the most recent newsletter that went out, about Butterfly shirts and the new Weaver's Stock version of this design. The question was: "what’s the difference between a true cuff and a false cuff? I’ve heard that term elsewhere, but am not sure what it means. Here's my response, which might be of interest here too? Not sure if this is what other people mean by a false cuff, but I mean a cuff that is actually just a facing laid on top of the end of the sleeve panels. It’s what’s on all the Tender shirts you’ve had: A classic cuff, however, is added onto the end of the sleeve panels, and it’s this that I’ve done for the first time with the new Weaver’s Stock shirts: The true cuff just feels a bit more formal and elegant, while the false cuff is more workwear-inspired and a lot more idiosyncratic. I especially like how the fabric direction of the cuff (warp side-to-side) pulls against the sleeve (warp up and down), when the garment is dyed or washed.

my 220A involved in IIY4

Dope. Details seem very close to the Foreman pants though and through, with patch pockets

Tender non-anniversary tux, Tilley cap, Tezo tee, Russell mocs

A few Freewheelers (Ironalls chambray and Lot 102, Chopper Builder shorts) and a Star of Hollywood arrived today from our man Seiichiro

Gave my 507RB a wash the other day. This jacket gets some good wear as a gardening layer and has seen its fair share of spills at the skatepark. Don’t see this specific jacket posted much so thought I’d share.

visiting the incredible Oregon Coast. Nothing quite like it!

Nice that’s a cool shirt

@Broark a nice play on Hokusai's The Great Wave Off Kanagawa

Did you give them money @srudy? If so I hope you field a charge back, I've heard some weird things about that shop in the past if I recall correctly...

Just ordered the 0105BLK from Rodeo. This is the right cut for me in FC.

Very cool scores. Would be interested in seeing some more detail shots of the sack jeans, since they never made the rounds

@csl, you know, I'm not sure. I went and looked and couldn't find any kind of dated sticker or plaque on it. It was my wife's ex-husbands tractor. All I know is I don't know what I'd do without it.

6 months... (but shorts won in June)

@shredwin_206 only very quickly tried them on and they're a good 'proper' length. Nice shorts... happy with them. Double pockets each side so plenty of places to lose stuff!! The sizing is a bit smaller than normal - I'm usually W34 but picked a W36 as I prefer shorts bigger anyhow, plus they have fastener buttons to bring them in. Here's a link with some deets and pics mate. I'll try get some photos up soon - though how much leg I show is not clear at this stage . Oh and I saw Hoosier posted measurements on IG too so check that out too pal.

Tender anniversary tux, FW sweat

@MJF9 what’s the specs on the shorts? I’ve been hunting for a good pair of proper shorter length shorts…

Goonies never say die!

Currently my most comfortable pair. 1947
