I picked up the FN-D111. I really like the wider fit of these jeans and how they don’t run super small esp compared to flat head jeans a few years back. The denim is closer to the deep indigo color of the pioneer denim. It crocks a lot more than the jeans I’ve worn the last few years. I’ve only worn them a week but I’ll be washing them soon.

Ok peeps! I'll play Model 411 size 38 Can't pass a contest involving a fellow Italian craftsman!

Another one today. My buddy blew out the buttonhole on a pair of vintage 501s. I don't usually fix shit for people unless they're family/partner and/or it's simple or seems fun. This one seemed fun so I took him up on it. I decided the best solution was to cut off that section of waistband and sew on an extension in its place. Had to unpick a belt loop too so I re-bartacked it. I'm pleased with the results!

Really sad to read about the passing of Ande. I remember looking at his jeans and the fits here such a long time ago. Never bought a pair because of the price, but the pocket details were always so beautiful looking. Funny enough I moved from US to NZ a few years ago, I swing by thrift stores from time to time and there's a fun shop here that pulls items from the trash and resells. Recently found a pair of beautiful black faded Ande jeans which I've given to a friend.

ok, mind changed, deposit sent. Still not sure if I'm going 50's or 30's but I'll sort it eventually. Leaning 30's - I've got no indigo 30's (I do have TCB Black), and am feeling cinch + oversized. Will probably outsource the final call to my wife.

Found this t shirt washed up on the beach while at the San Juan islands a couple months ago… the sun bleached an amazing pattern onto it! worn with Duke belt and Stevensons

Such a solid group! Just like the old days, good to see everyone jumping on board 😆 Deposit paid!

Vintage 1922 Levi's 501XX on Marvin's. These are the earliest belt looped 501xx - so basically a c.1915-1921 501xx that still have the hand-tooled looking rivet heads, which between c1922 and c.1926 gradually changed to become the more standard round-topped rivet heads we all normally associate with 501's. They also have the first gen shorter belt loops made with shirt weight denim, which gradually lengthened over the decade plus concave suspender buttons and unbranded bullseye style fly buttons. These last two details disappeared around c.1926/27, the same year the redline was introduced. What strikes me most is the beautiful pattern of wear over time but also that someone went to the trouble of cutting out the centre part of the two horse patch, so that it didn't shrivel out in the sun or through shrinkage, and become uncomfortable for the wearer. I'm obviously guessing this last part but they are a thing of beauty in my eyes and to think they are roughly 100 years old. Not many wearable clothes that old. Off to get a lottery ticket 😁 Obviously a double cuffer too!

And stretched again out to 36"... I think not 3 weeks yet?!

I just bought the TCB Storm Cat Driver from Spiral, and it was very efficient and fast. Recommended.

Great Lakes x3 / Hollows / The Vanishing West / Frank’s

I was unsure cos the price is so close to the hard limit of €300 that I set myself, but it's shaping up to be a great competition so I'm in (DMed). I expect I'll go for the 5150.

Volvo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes! @volvo240thebest so good to have you on board!

@frank, yes, I am planning on the 5150. Sizing up to 36 to get the desired dimensions in rise, thigh and leg opening. They might end up an inch too big in the waist, but I'll either belt it or have the waist taken in. The 36 looks like it should shrink down pretty close to my Leroys which is the ideal if we're going for repro dimensions. The 0105 fit isn't in sight for these cuts even with oversizing the waist.

Welcome, @volvo240thebest! Good to see you again. Shaping up to be a lovely cast of Sufu characters on this journey.

Congratulations, b_F! And thank you @MJF9 for looking after the other children while papa's away.

That pair is definitely a top 10 for me. Hits all my favorite details. I think that the patch probably fell off voluntarily. The uniformity of color behind the patch makes me think that the patch was intact for most of the time the jeans were worn. The lack of any creasing, due to a shrunken patch pulling on the denim, means that they weren’t washed that often? All conjecture, I know.

Simone is getting his own buttons made in Japan, so yes it's WMJ = Word of Mouth Jeans No pics to share just yet... something to look forward to in due course

What are WMJ buttons?

It looks like Warehouse is producing two designs for JG for the upcoming season. Cool unique designs and the stuff under this line has been really top notch so far.

About time too! 🙄

Some before and after shots of some more bag repairs for my girlfriend. She's in a wheelchair so she hangs them off the back and they get caught on things regularly. Since it's a power chair she sometimes doesn't realize a bag is caught till it's torn. The leather bag was super quick, just popped a couple rivets. Had to add a third to reposition an interior pocket since it was too many layers for the rivets I had on hand. The green canvas one has leather straps which had torn at three places. I had to be careful while sewing the straps back in place to make sure the needle went into the pre-poked holes. Added a box stitch too for added security, and popped in some more rivets to complete the look. Hopefully if I have to stitch this one back up again it's the fourth strap end that wasn't already torn that fails. The black canvas one had a huge tear which I darned. Had to unpick the stitches holding the strap down to be able to darn underneath, then sewed the strap back.

haul from Osaka. will be doing more tomorrow, as well as when I get to Tokyo

16 years is a bloody good innings for a sweater!! Hoping mine will last that long! I have every intention of picking up another colour or two in the freedom sleeve, which I believe is slightly shorter collar to waistband than the set-in?

Real special thing, those Ooe's...FW's real nice as well of course, but that Ooe stitching and details really gets me going! Sad I missed out on that pair, though I'm happy to own the Mechanics Overalls

Hey everyone! leaving for south america in the next few weeks so going thru my closet a bit, selling a lot of shirts, jackets (sz 36) and pants (29-30). Let me know if you want any closer photos, just wanted to get a couple quick ones to not stuff up the thread. Happy to take any reasonable offers. Thank you! Freewheelers Union Special Overalls, 30x34 - bought these new and wore them a couple of times to work, but never really found the stripe pattern worked for me. Inseam hemmed to 30". Beautiful details including one-piece fly, painted suspender buttons and lined cinch. $140 Waist 77cm Front Rise 33cm Back Rise 38cm Thigh 31cm Knee 24cm Hem 21.5cm Inseam 76cm Denime Wego/McCoys era jeans, W30 - i got these from roomtemplacroix a couple of years ago and never wore them, doesn't look like he did either. Nice, tightly woven denim that i'd guess at around 14oz, and a 60's-ish cut. There might be more info about them online but I'm not sure where to find it. $90 Waist 72cm Front Rise 28cm Back Rise 34cm Thigh 29cm Knee 23cm Hem 19.5cm Inseam 77cm Belafonte Herringbone Twill Linen/Cotton Workshirt sz 36 - bought this new a couple of years ago, wore maybe a dozen times and then washed and put away. This fabric is lovely, 62% cotton, 38% linen, really soft and dense, feels almost like brushed flannel, but I have a pair of pants in the same material and decided I need to keep one or the other lol. $150 Length 70cm Shoulder 41cm Sleeve length 62cm Chest 50cm Stevenson Overall Mechanic's Workshirt sz 36 - really lovely shirt featuring an indigo-dyed herringbone twill with contrasting indigo-dyed collar and cuffs. Just not planning on bringing it with me on the bike, so it's gonna go. Worn only a handful of times, still looks new and only slightly faded. $100 Length 67cm Shoulder 42cm Sleeve length 60cm Chest 46.5cm

Hi there, First post but been lurking a while. Loved scrolling through this thread and have decided to buy my first loopwheeled sweatshirt (I do already own a Warehouse 484 Hoodie which I adore but the hood is VERY pointy). As such, I have come to ask some advice from those much more experienced and knowledgeable on the topic than me. Currently having choice paralysis between the standard Deluxeware sweatshirt (s101) and the Warehouse Lot 401. I really like the boxier fit and faded colourways of the Warehouse 401 sweat but also know that Deluxeware makes very unique fabrics with a heavier weight that would provide lots of function/utility. My main concern with the Warehouse sweat is it may not end up feeling very different from any of my regular sweatshirts due to its lighter weight (but perhaps someone who owns one could correct that statement), whereas I am fairly certain a Deluxeware sweat would stand out and feel quite substantial. Both are the same price, and both would be worn with the same purpose -- on their own (over t-shirts and oxfords) as well as under jackets in the winter. Anyone here own either (or both) that can help me finally make a decision? Thanks! EDIT: Would also consider Two Moon if they are a better option than both!

220XX-47 fit At the very slimmest of the spectrum of fits for me, but comfortable nonetheless. Wearing the FC 0105’s immediately prior to this pair probably emphasised that!

Three more of these lovely Tezonmeya t-shirts landed recently I went with 2x long-sleeved in the 185cm size (roughly XL) and one short-sleeved in the 175cm (L) I'm a big fan of the fantastic, warm, dull and deep (almost oxymoronic but true) plant based colours... and how well they wear (I see them as casual with many uses) Julian shared his lovely faded t-shirts above which spurred me into action +++ I have to say that the service from Tezomeya was excellent... great communication with much appreciated flexibility that has set me up for summer - very pleased Nibi-iro... delicate gray from green alder cones + iron mordant Miru-iro... khaki green from bayberry tree bark Kenbourguro-iro... deep black from indigo + Bayberry tree bark + iron mordant Plus here's the full colour range for those interested...
