evo update on the 1937ish: 5 month of almost everyday wear, 4 washes, no further significant shrinking... they come with red tab btw but its quite short, therefore almost invisible at least in the photos overall I am quite happy with em an consider buying another pair

Sun Surf, FW.

Struggling to wear any denim in the summer but had a go whilst visiting Painshill Park. UES, MF, IH

here's my 30s. Not sure how many times worn or washed. Very nice cut, love wearing these.

@Geeman I blame this slip on the giddy high of getting new shiny things in the post! I'll make sure not to repeat, or at least get both toes and bald pate covered more thoroughly... on another note; mis-clicked and went to my user profile: previous post hit my 1890-th post... a fortuitous sign for this tux...

more tcb 1890s vs lvc 1870s… (lighter blue is the lvc)

These came in the mail today, so y’all get a fit pic whitesville/ samurai S0510xxII/ birk Texas denim

I originally was planning on it but I haven’t heard any further details so maybe I slipped through the cracks. Not a big deal either way since I was only participating to track along. I have and had no illusions of seriously competing. Here are a few more fit pics of the jeans in natural light (way too hot for the jacket today). The lighting is still not ideal for fit pic details of the jeans but at least it was good for what I set out to take photos of. Like Bartleby showed, the pockets on both the jeans and jacket are nice and big on these. Maybe the biggest that I have seen. I can fit a small notebook into any of the pockets. The rise is very high for a size 32 as well. It must crack at least 12.5”. Still need to measure them myself.

and finally, as the jacket pocket is the star of the show: a comparison between the s40s and the 1890s… (sleeves have fairly equal monster armpit hole…)

greetings lovely people ma 1890s tux fit for reference… (jacket size 46, jeans w.38, hemmed to 80cm inseam…) just got ‘em so no experience or analysis just yet…

pinch punch first day of the month… good luck out there ppl tcb no.2 x2

Here are fit pics of my full No. 2 tux plus some without the jacket. Unfortunately the lighting has not been ideal in any of my usual spots recently but these should be good enough to get an idea of the fit. As I suspected, they fit and look differently on me than the TCB crew. In a way, the fit kind of reminds me of a well washed pair of 50s with a 0.5-1” higher rise and lighter weight denim. I really like the fit, details, and fabric on these. They should be easier to wear with my existing stuff than I had feared. I still hope to snap some detail shots at some point when I have the time to make the lighting more ideal. However, TCB’s photos of the details feel pretty true to life

Sedgwick bridle (but with the tallow buffed off this time), lambskin, hi-dome jewels and nickel plated steel hardware … a wee bit more old school

No, haven't seen a chart, sorry. Honestly, I'm not very interested in the myriads of models Warehouse is pumping out now for Denime.

People get so scared of marbling their jeans in the wash, but it always looks so cool when they do get marbled. Good shit.

thanks @smoothsailor! & gnuk gnuk! sliders ftw! fwiw sliders and crocs are one of current trainer forms of london uk (along with a tide of on and hoka) but yes; this is by the apartment block communal bins; the truth is out! my trash looks are taken in an appropriate context!

selvedge and unfinished seam check… (little vs large…)

Yes! I would love to give them a try but they are way out of my budget. I was actually searching for a suitable stand in for the Clinch boots when I found these. Luckily these were about 80% LESS than the retail cost of Clinch. But those Horned Moon boots are absolutley masterful. They are themselves based on a vintage pair. (Shown below underneath the Clinch boots) Clinch Horned Moon Vintage inspiration.

New MOTO in brown Horween's Latigo just arrived.

Vintage deadstock Frye boots. Seller said they were a sample on display in a flagship store. They smell like an old motorcycle jacket. Super Solid. Reminds me a little of the Clinch cowboy boots by Brass Show Co. A little sturdier and more structured with thicker soles and no toe embellishment. Tea core leather too. Should last forever.

I have a 30's jacket on pre-order and seeing how yours are fading brings me a lot of joy @Sympathy-For-The-Denim

rly rlly really nice @Sympathy-For-The-Denim been eyeballing 30s for so long but waiting for fades to get shared; top work; many thanks for sharing!

Ohhhhh right okay, I see. Sounds like a lot of unnecessary but very marketable nonsense! Do you happen to have seen a size chart for these 47's? Prior to release I was very keen on picking some up but looking at some of these product photos they look slim and tapered

No the 224 66 is an indigo version but uses denim where yarns were spun on the "Ishikawadai" ring spun machine (it's the current buzz word. Oni, SDA and other already mentioned denim made with it. I am sure it has been used several times before but marketing only picked it up now. Just like the G3 loom was communicated as something special some years ago).

The 224 66 (a new denim version) has also been released yesterday or so.

I purchased multiple times from junky via fromjapan and buyye

Think it's the first time I've seen your head!

Looking good @bartlebyyphonics i always presumed you take your pictures at a public space, but seeing you in slides

and some comparison pix to the lvc 1870s tux… (a last hurrah from cone, a 9oz fabric … haven’t worn jeans much yet still) back pocket size and stitching…

Deadstock Frye, a few days wear. Starting to break in a bit, getting creases and rolls. Definitely don't make them like they used to.

Barlesoni Vintage Mike Ness Painted belt Mister Freedom Outlaw in deadstock Cone 1949 Nocona Pee Wee

Vintage 1940s/50s Nocona Pee Wee cowboy boots with Sawtooth inlay in chocolate kangaroo. Made in Nocona Texas. They require little repairs every couple of wears but they're is nothing like them.

Picked up the lined DSB Type 1. Given it a warm wash and dry, looking a teensy bit larger than I would have liked but I got the lined as an autumn / winter / spring jacket and wanted to be able to fit a t shirt/shirt with a flannel/hoodie underneath so perhaps it’s perfect. One thing I am totally sure of is I have instantly caught the denim jacket bug. Oh dear.

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

Expensive fashion boots are nothing new Forget Clinch or Role Club, you’d probably get a better product from any of the standard brands in the $8–1200 range

@super-thermite nice! Your patch is nicer than mine. Mine is blank. I removed the suspender buttons after two years of struggle and never looked back. They’re really nice jeans. They evolve really good imo. I think it’s about time someone opened a Moto thread. side note - I don’t think freewheelers carry anything remotely similar in width. wearing said jeans, yesterday

I wouldn't say the handsewn is inherently higher quality. The resulting look is slightly different. I have a pair of Alden shell tassel loafers (from shoe mart factory seconds, with possibly fewer imperfections than my first quality models -- that's a tale for another time), and I like the machine stitch on the apron. It's a bit "neater" and that makes it a bit dressier than the handsewn, which works for what I wear them for. Of course, if you are going for something more casual, then that won't be an issue. I think there is a place for both.
