Some 16 month updates on my jeans. These are looking too faded so I will wear another pair.

last one b4 actual wear kicks in, but fer good measure a presentation with suspenders and closed toes… tcb 1890s tux (crinklin’) / redwing

Only half of it was done in jeans and the rest was done in sweatpants or else, also not done today but moreso over the last 9 months. I finished a sweater over the weekend. Raglan top down construction, seamless and knit on the round, 100% wool, and a turtleneck-ish collar. Took inspiration from arans on the braids, but not as complex as your typical aran knit. Really proud since it's my first piece with braiding and any break from simple right or left right patterns. The pattern on the sleeves came natural as a help for sizing them down for the cuffs, same for the sides.

b_F, congrats on your career change. I’ll take two pairs. You have my measurements 😉

Maybe not the right thread but still a place to discuss. A little teaser, soon more to see

I am always jealous of folks that can get 18 months and many washes without major repairs. By the time my jeans start getting toward that super soft, bright two year mark, they're so fragile that I can't wear them more than a few weeks without needing more repair. I love the look of all of these jeans, but I always prefer that bright, powder blue most.

Trust me, you don't want anything I've sewn

All I can say for now, it's from a one-man-brand. So that rules out Resolute Maybe still interesting for you @aho ?

Tender / Denime 1937s / Tezomeya / @Duke Mantee / TSPTR x S&S It's since occurred to me today's set-up is fully Sufu-enabled!!! I'll stop short of a full shout-out... for fear of coming over all Instagrammmmm... but many thanks!!

My boy and I tried to mess with mom/wife while she waited for us , we swapped clothes and walked back to her like nothing is happening. We had a good laugh( I guess you had to be there) me, him, yellow hat, cheap tee, fullcount, vans. him, me, obey, big boys, nike have to say that it all fits him better

I've been going through my archives lately with an eye towards photographs of workers. In 2016 I got - as my digital records indicate - 30 minutes on the famed White Oak facility floor. 8:35 - 9:05 AM. It was before I knew much about denim, and to be honest - visiting this spot was what led me to this place on the forum. When I was there, I was focused on the people and what they were doing. Not the looms, nor the displays of vintage denim. I wouldn't have even known to look at what was interesting from a technical perspective. I look back on the archive of this job and hope these folks landed on their feet but I don't know. I'm still sore that this place shut down, even though my connection to it was just this short visit. I'm grateful the workers gave me a few seconds of their time while they were juggling the multiple machines that made the floor shake. What I mostly remember was just lamenting I only had thirty minutes on the floor, it seemed that this place warranted so much more time if I wanted to due the least bit of justice to photographing the people and the space. Unfortunately I can't find my notebook from the time, which gave me the information of these people's names and more. Anyways, here are a few pictures to share from one of the later months that this facility was in operation. These are some of the awesome people that made some of the best denim that I hope a few of you are wearing. I figured starting a thread here for anything White Oak related could be suitable?

Great video on different approaches to wearing/washing. That 3 year old pair is my ideal 🙏

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

^ The way the pattern is cut makes all the difference. This is why some brands’ jeans (like Sugar Cane or Warehouse) seem to fit almost everyone pretty well and some brands’ jeans (like ONI or N&F) manage to fit almost no one: patterning and grading are really not straightforward. It’s not possible to tell how jeans (a 3D object) will fit—or how two pairs of jeans will compare to each other—based on a few 1D measurements any more than it’s possible to look at a few measurements and use that to produce a functioning pattern for a pair of jeans. That said, if you’re just looking at how the legs fit, you’re at a pretty big advantage here since both pairs are cut with straight outseams to accommodate the edges of the denim. If they hit your crotch at the same point (which, admittedly, is a pretty big if), you should be able to tell everything about how they’ll fit your legs by separately measuring the widths of the front and back panels at a few places. My bet would be that one pair has an inseam that sits appreciably farther forward than the other’s, towards the crotch—and that they’re probably cut with fairly different curves through the crotch and seat.

That’s amazing!! Great work!

I missed those in my size! Hence the Denime 47's instead 🙃

Perfect execution 🙇🏻

Always interested! 😆 Considering Warehouse 1001XX(1000XX) 1947's which were recently restocked on the WH website as well

Come on @AlientoyWorkmachine, you can't leave us here without any pictures!

@julian-wolf30! also, now that I’ve worn these for a few hours these things have got some drape. I might have to take back that assessment of the trim seat ha. I definitely could have gone 30, but I’m happy taking the loose path here. Also fwiw my other 0105 pairs are 30, I just find the super smooth to run large.

I'm aiming for a late 30s pair to be released by Denime/Warehouse. 😔

Denime 10th anniversary 1937 pics (from c1998) Just back from a hem-job... big thank you for a top job and service from @Mr Black With nicely patina-ing belt from @Duke Mantee Interestingly, the belt loops are very lightweight denim compared to the jeans themselves... similar to the TCB 20s but even lighter Spot the difference!

1947s after a little over a year

Freewheelers 1922 jacket, 1937 jeans (same denim, different wear) / Anatomica Big Yank / @Duke Mantee / Russell Moccasins

Another wash on my home/lounging pants. Really love the blue on these, I should wear them more. The buttons started out all black and have patinated over time. Despite the lack of wear, they fade super fast, fastest of any Cone fabric I’ve experienced.

My old San Antonio, TX made 1933 LVC 501's patched and repaired and still going strong. Cone Mills White Oak denim never disappoints.

the banner denim is definitely lighter than the tcb denim some photos for comparison

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

Here is a fit pic with the lot 2000 no.2 denim For reference I’m 5’10” and 175lbs.

Haven’t been on here for a long time. Just wanted to share some pics of my lot 2000 no.2. If I can find my other pair of lot 2000 no.1 denim I’ll post them side by side just for fun.

Did an overnighter gravel event. A bit of rain and a lot of mud. last picture, same but different

Also not today but over the last week & weekend: Since the temperatures rose a bit in germany the citrus project on the balcony is growing along. Seen here are: 1 x trifoliate orange 1 x citrumelo (hybrid of trifoliate orange & grapefruit) lots of yuzus (the small ones are seed grown), the big one I got last winter at half its size right now 2 x volkamer lemons 1 ichang orange and maybe in the background a sanguinello blood orange Also visible an olive we got a few years ago bearing fruit nowadays The other pictures are from the weekend, foraging for berries and mushrooms in the black forest. Friends of ours moved there recently and we visited over the weekend. Since it's been crazy rainy and wet, but not really cold chanterelle mushrooms have been growing pretty early in the season. Usually they are ripe in august/september, rather than beginning of july.

Not today but recent trip to Johannesburg... A few pics of the Anglo American (think gold, diamonds, precious metals, De Beers) buildings in Main Street, Johannesburg centre of the old CBD... now minor part last century corporate colonial splendour, major part modern run down inner city depravation. The Stampede or The Impala Fountain by Herman Wald, in bronze, stands out... "The Stampede was my first impression in this country, nature’s most graceful charge that competes with any man-made efforts, unconditionally acclaimed by child or adult, by amateur or connoisseur, unbound by time, fashion or ‘isms’." Fascinating country that gets more fascinating over time as stories unfold And the Jo'burg winter sky never disappoints...
