JOHNG MUNG DENIM

No idea what jacket it is, i also liked the look of the one pocket. It's probably a Maverick jeans jacket, here is some more info on the brand.

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

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

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

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

I posted this ^ a while back, I spotted it in Black Ivy (the book). Posting here led me to finding it’s from a whole set of photos from Life magazine, all with a similar level of style of course!

No 3D collar. No bueno

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.

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.

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

thanks! I'm wearing the exact same cut jeans as these but made by yamane industries and in no.0 denim. In 16 months i should have comparison photos lol

^ 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.

I got these about 36 hours after the shipping notice was sent. In Michigan. From Japan. I’m not much one for write ups or anything but I will say these are highly competitive with the fullcount super smooth denim for maybe the best breezy feeling summer jeans. Actually, they probably feel better. I sized up one - to a 31 -and I’m glad I did because the seat is slightly trim even if the waist isn’t. If I’d gone 30, I think they’d have fit more like my FW 51’s, which is fine, but for linen pants I wanted more of a roomy anti-fit. My 31 fits about the same, slightly trimmer leg - than my FC’s at 29. No clue how these things will fade but pants that feel like linen and look like jeans - I’m sold! The jacket is nice too - but (and I knew this going in) is longer than a typical type 1 both in torso and in the arms. In a way I think this is more versatile, but maybe not what some people would want. I think it will wear nicely - it’s like a French worker’s jacket in cut with type 1 detailing and the drape of linen. I’ll try to get pics up next week but I’m headed out of town today for a bit.

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.

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.

Went to get an x-ray today and someone in the wait room was wearing a shirt I'd recognize anywhere....

More rock n roll - heading to Germany Walpier Buttero Rocky, nickel plated hardware and rubies

7 months, but to be honest due to the hotness I wore them in July only 2 weeks...

No. 2 tux fit pics. Cross-post from main TCB thread

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

Jim Moir aka Vic Reeves (on Celebrity Masterchef).

Little medley of new TCB releases from the summer. Number 2 jeans are very easy to wear at your regular waist size. Surprisingly a more understated and modern fit than other TCB models. Really pleased with them. EDIT: I wear the same size in all TCB models (34, my actual waist size) except for 50s which I size up to a 36 for additional room in the seat. These are a perfect fit for me, not oversized or tight at all.

And some fit pics. Quite a high rise and wide leg. And with t-shirt tucked in I got mine from Mercari but I saw that Naoki also has some old stock of these: https://pants-shop-avenue.com/item/De178-79506/

If you look closely, you can see the fingerprints of early Evis in these: Similar stitching: and hardware:

0105 , I think it’s the 15oz 1 year of wear, several washes

Continuing from the above post, A big thank you to whom ever it was that sent me these photos via lg a couple of days ago. Looking at the rest of the set of pics here it look like they have all the hallmarks of the 1942 501XX except in this case the buckle looks silver as opposed to the black one we'd normally expect or it could be the lighting putting a shine on it? Also this pair has alot of dual orange and yellow stitching, unlike Larry's deadstock pair on the previous page which in King of Vintage Vol.4 has mostly yellow. Rounded hidden rivets post-1940 and copper coated fly button backs, which l've not seen before on a pair of 1941 or 1942 501's.

0105 fit

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...

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

Pair of Momo's that I turned into rollups.

Dolph Lundgren, Ice T and Van Damme, peak 90's

My recent trip to Japan yielded an obscene amount of jeans, at least enough to weather a 15-year storm, so I figured I needed to repurpose some pairs for summer so that I could still wear most of them, giving them the attention they deserve. I have always wanted a pair of Momo's, so I decided to cuff a wide-leg pair (originally 21" outseam but now running about 18" or so with cuff). I stitched them up, and after Boncoura's post, I'm planning on washing these pretty regularly to achieve similar results (more likely two years or several to achieve the same result).
