@shredwin_206’s S601xx looking reallll good before a round of repairs

All done by our very own @Duke Mantee

Looked through this thread but couldn't find them, l had a whole set of pics of this pair so l must've posted them on denimbro back in the day. Sadly now l've only this pic stolen from lg to show you. Deadstock 1942 501XX sz 36x36 (click the image twice for more clarity) sold by Foremost some years back. Lovely two tone stitching. Hard to believe this pair and the WW2 pair l posted earlier could be produced just a few months apart, yet in some ways they are both world's apart in detail and design.

dr and maynard is too kind i will make sure i gives it a 100c hot wash before i shipout interesting to see a different replacement buttoms in this overall

the whole first year we spent thinking "there's no way we are doing this shit again. we've aged a million years and our body and spirit are beaten" and then somehow we forgot about all of that, had a second kid and during her first year where she had terrible sleep we kept going "was it this hard the first time around??". luckily my wife had taken good notes with figuring out schedules and we realized that our brains had buried that trauma deep down and tricked us into only remembering the cute moments.

^ that’s true enough, but the cool thing is that sleep deprivation just obliterates your short term memory, so you’ll probably forget that (and lots of other stuff) before you know you forgot it.

denim vanguard chinos. Love these.

I've had this Old Navy shirt for like 9 years now, longer than I've been interested in raw denim. It was just a cool shirt that fit me well, and has treated me well this whole time. The second to last picture shows what the fabric started out like where the placket has frayed and opened up. I've had to repair both elbows which I did with a fun floral fabric I had on hand.

WH 1001xx , size 34, fit pics I noticed denim neps (please ignore low quality picture taken using iPhone) Outside surface is rough, even inside I felt rough and scratchy. The silhouette feels lighter on the body.

Congrats! having kids is super easy. easiest thing I've done. you'll be back to normal life in no time.

runabout goods denim chinos. Actually the only chinos I own. Great cut and fade very nicely

Our youngest is 14 now and she’s doing her first babysitting job for a neighbour’s kids this evening! EDIT: and for the denim enthusiasts, she’s wearing a pair of faded wash, high-waisted ‘mom’ style jeans from H&M! 😂

Don't need any more denim @Broark but will browse your wares if posted here. My son was only a year old when l joined Sufu in 2009 now he's 17 and as tall as me, wears my old FW47'S and is taking driving lessons ! Enjoy every moment mate, it's a journey you'll never forget.

^ the same as yours?

@Broark Congratulations! As a new first time dad, the first night at home alone with the baby is truly terrifying for the unknown. The rest afterwards though is great

Oh yeah it's going to be a breeze, no doubt about that.

Too bad that i am too fat to fit in

What are your genes doing today? 😉 Congratulations Austin.

202s in the early morning. Got them 2017 hardly worn but second hand. Left knee torn, right back pocket as well, pocket entries have been repaired, crotch has been repaired. Have cut them off a few years ago because the original inseam was about 37" post shrink and I got tired of cuffing.

Love my country, but not the warzone of fireworks on the 4th. So we got out of the city and went to stay at the Fort Casey Inn on Whidbey Island, WA

Thanks for the well wishes everyone, we're excited and nervous. Going to be a huge life change. Unfortunately with my new job I won't qualify for 6 weeks of paid paternal leave until I've been there for a full year. But I can use that leave at any time within the a year of the birth which is nice. Started the job in May and the baby is due to arrive in January, but I think my org is pretty flexible and should let me work from home initially so I can make sure everyone is settling in as well as they possibly can. My wife should hopefully have about 12 weeks of unpaid () leave, but I think we'll manage. Needless to say I'll probably be selling some more stuff here soon.

Our situation was admittedly not the ideal, though I’ve learned it was not so atypical either. It was covid lockdown and we couldn’t get outside help. We lived in loft studio apartment with no separate rooms. Our kid had some reflux issues that prevented him from sleeping well until about 4 months old. I had to teach online in that same apartment and my partner got a whopping 6 weeks of leave after an emergency C section, having to go back to work in person every day. Everything was super chill. It didn’t give me any grey hairs.

Which ones are the 1930s ones? The original spec? Or is there another type besides the 42 and 45? And which colour?

So, we've got a pretty big life change headed our way soon.

Received my Alden loafers today, for factory seconds they seem to be pretty solid! There's some small cosmetic flaws but nothing that I'd think too much about for the price. It's surprising how comfortable they are right off the bat, no break in period needed. The moc stitching is a little disappointing since I've seen photos of the LHS versions, but given the price I paid I'm happy with these. Feel like I've officially reached peak menswear.

Here are a few pics of the 1943 jeans (size 34), received yesterday. As I mentioned to b_F, I feel pretty young and trim for an old dude, but look old and fat -- and, of course, the camera doesn't lie. I also have the jeans hiked up a bit, as I just put them on for the photo. I suspect they'll come in a little with a wash and I hope to come in a little too (i.e., lose a few pounds).

Caught in the act Ues + Cane’s

Far from the standard fare, here, but I can never resist a direct old vs. new comparison La Sporta Mythos Eco, old ones have seen around 3 years as training shoes, 2 front resoles (fourth photo), and enough hand stitching on the uppers (second photo) to call it a day

The racism makes that party fit only for the bin and never office imo...

I have to wonder where in the process this was seen as a good move. Especially since the brand already carries -ws products in stock on ms at the moment, there are many available substitutions at a lower price point. I get that ACR isnt supposed to care blah blah, but it feels like a poorly thought out release and like a project that will never break even. I dont see these selling. I agree with the gripes about the J100 title too, wasted opportunity.

Baja Shirt arrived. It's exactly what I wanted it to be.

Warehouse lot 4048 Buzz 1942’s Alden LHS

Display jeans came in

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.

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

Goonies never say die!

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.

Can't beat a nice pair of '47s.
