Some detail shots and a fit pic of the linen jeans. These things are so comfortable it almost feels wrong. Fabric has few, but significant neps. In general it’s a bit more irregular than the denim I’m used to wearing but nothing like those brands that make it a point. Looks like it was a bit tough to weave. Linen pocket bags are a nice touch. Worn about 4 days and like linen does the creases set quickly. Raised pocket seams are interesting. Happy with this pick up. Jacket pictures later, I don’t have it with me on this trip.

2 weeks in the 1890. Really like these so far.

Pulling out the 50s on a cooler day. Color most accurate in the closeups. Love the crinkling and marbling of this denim even with countless washes

Another 1890s tux photo. This denim is really crinkling quickly. TCB/J Press shirt/Rancourt loafers Because I love the jacket so much here is a bonus that I forgot to post earlier TCB/Wythe tencel shirt/Buzz chinos/ Hollows belt/Franks boots

^ Probably those or Sugar Cane 47s.

I recently picked up a cheap iPod (4th Gen Classic Mono) and installed a new battery. The nostalgia is real (was my first ever iPod after coming from MiniDisc), but on a recent trip to the UK and Portugal, it was nice to only have music and not have other distractions from apps on an iDevice. Planning on picking up some of the other ones I owned throughout the years as well. I'm also planning on finding my old MD player, too; resurgence in all these devices is starting to pick up. Denimes make a nice contrast though.

I like how these pants age. And in the heat, they are much more comfortable than jeans.

Listing some things on ebay. Everything is in good condition, they are for sale because I'm not satisfied with the fit or I've replaced them with other items. I think all listings have measurements. You can view everything here: https://www.ebay.com/usr/prof_wpwilber You can make me an offer by direct message here. Happy to answer any questions or just chat about my impressions of the item. I will deduct ebay's middle man fee from the price and work with you on shipping (as long as you don't make it a pain in the ass.) I ship from the USA and I don't know anything about international shipping so you have to make it dummy proof for me.

Reluctantly admitted I got too fat for my beloved 0105 so they’re up for sale and I bought a bigger pair. Pocket needs repairing (or not) and a fair bit of twist from the 12 or so washes but still loads of life left. Currently at about £12 and knowing eBay will probably go for a song. Grab a bargain! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276585905466?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=s1tcXJG_Q7W&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=s1tcXJG_Q7W&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@HGS Sweet fades. Makes me wonder if the TCB 50s is the best bang-for-your-buck overall standard repro jean out there? Pattern is spot on and the fabric is lovely.

Gen 4 is easy! A battery costs around $10. You just need to make sure to calibrate it a few times once it's installed. It charges a lot faster on a Firewire brick, which I found an old Foxconn testing cable for cheap on eBay. As far as Gen 2, a lot harder to find parts. You also need to have a computer that has Firewire to sync the music, which rules most people out unless you have an old iBook lying around. I really want a Gen 1 (same as Gen 2 basically) but it just has that old Apple Garamound iPod logo text on the back. They might not be "nice things" per se, as far as moneywise, but if I had a dollar for every time someone commented or stopped me after having this for 2 weeks, it would have paid for itself 😂

We just happened to turn down the right street and was wondering what people were looking at. On my way to Son of a Stag no less.

Back from a Portugal trip…

^ 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.

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

Picked these up for $30 this week, I’m really happy with them! Can’t tell how much they’ve faded but they don’t seem too worn.

^ I've seen the Clutch guys handwashing a rayon Sun Surf and seemingly promoting this. Personally I'm aligned to tooth and wouldn't risk it. Dry clean all the way

I got a new old car recently and I am loving it. Very low mileage, in excellent condition. 1996 Oldsmobile Ciera wagon.
