Hello again 👋 Simone is working on some more detailed description of all the models available for this contest so it will be easier for you guys to decide! Apart from the customisation listed earlier (e.g. hidden rivets on the 311 optional), there will be no customisation or non-period correct details, e.g. herringbone twill pockets bags on the 5150. Let's wait and see what he works out! Of course, it's an old-school Sufu contest and the action plays here. However, if you are active on Instagram and want to promote this contest and Simone's work, we suggest the following three hashtags: #massproductionsucks #notmadetolast #sufuwmjcontest

They also reproduced the quartermaster tag.

A number of years ago MASH CO reproduced the 1930's - 40's US Army denim dungarees that were also used by the CCC Civilian Conservation Corp. The raw denim was originally a beautiful dark indigo that's worn well over the years and fading nicely. The zinc US Army metal buttons are also beautifully reproduced.

S hooks for everything I’m at least currently kinda sorta using, active pair thrown on the ottoman next to my bed, the rest in bin in storage.

Thanks I always go overboard with the deets.. I over-engineer everything The cabinet under the sink was a redwood frame lined with 18mm marine ply which was coated in some kind of primer by the tiler to stop the ply absorbing the moisture from the grout and weakening the bond.. it went on red but dried clear.. i've since lined it out with WCB grade Scandi ply (which is what i used for the door because it's perfectly flat) and painted it with Zinsser mould resistant paint.. the push/release latch was from LAMP .. the ply + grout + tile had to work between 23mm and 32mm for the hinges to clear the reveal. The cabinet behind the toilet is double 18mm marine ply.. it was bent .. so i laminated 2x pieces together ..like this^ 2x equally bent pieces oppositely laminated together will counteract the tension in each and give you one flat piece.. The cabinet for the shower is the only part which comes into contact with water so it was fully tanked before it was tiled over Oh.. the steps i put into the cabinet behind the toilet are to account for the thickness of the tile + the grout.. i didn't want the wooden plinth under the sink to be stepped when it was tiled over so i stepped the cabinet to allow for the tiles.. if that makes sense

Definitely! No mandatory monthly check in. Post whenever you feel like doing it (best: daily).

..after all that^ hard work, i needed a break so we headed to Castellammare del Golfo in northern Sicily.. considered the jewel of the north-west, a bit like Barrow-in-Furness. I nearly missed the plane because security didn't like the look of my fishing tackle.. a small pouch filled with lead shot and scissors.. I picked up a Fiat Panda Hybrid in the airport..the driving in Sicily is just insanity, much like Mario Kart, the only way to get around is to drive like an Italian, never stop, never give an inch, push in at every opportunity, shouting shit and gesticulating wildly while throwing banana skins and tortoise shells at other road users.. they know you're a tourist if you're indicating so i stopped using my indicators on day 2 and pushed in at every opportunity they soon accepted me as one of their own Luckily, when they're not behind the wheel of a car, the people are lovely, we rented a house on a dirt track in the middle of nowhere, my sat-nav freaked out and couldn't locate the house, outside the capital, nobody speaks a word of English and my italian is considered 'offensive' at best but after 30 mins of driving around the dirt tracks i had to go to someone's house to ask directions.. i had a phone number but the guy who owned our house didn't speak english so i couldn't call him and explain where we were because i had no fkin clue where we were?!.. ..The guy who came to the door lived in Milan (originally from Sicily and spoke a little english) and was staying at his holiday home with his family, wearing nothing more than Speedos and flip-flops, he called the house owner who came to our rescue on his dirt bike. Our house, nestled between the sea and the mountains.. with my hire-car... it's been 37ºC and 30ºC at night ..down the dirt track ..to the sea ..this is where we spent our days snorkeling with the beach babes The food / restaurant culture is incredible, albeit.. very expensive.. there are no fast food outlets or burger chains.. even the supermarket was deli quality food but priced accordingly. Over here.. if you don't want to pay Waitrose prices, you go to Tesco but over there, you didn't have that option, we ate at some shitholes just to save money towards some of the most fasntastic restaurants i've ever eaten at, one place was serving €290 steaks, we had burgers .. but the most incredible burgers i've ever eaten, dripping with fatty parma-ham, we ate in a forest overlooking the sea and a walled courtyard in Scopello (Ssee last photo) The restaurants open 8.30 till 2am.. most folks come out to eat at 10.30, crowds of peeps queue for tables.. i'm not proud to say that we spent £1150 just on evening meals in one week Messina was the local brew.. it's far, far, far superior on draught ..kid caught a baby gekko Cactus fruit was growing by the side of the road The first night we drove into the local town for pizza, (8mins away) it looks beautiful ...but look how densely populated this place is.. it reminded me of the favellas in Brazil but these buildings are mostly ancient, pre-car so the streets were narrow with no footpaths, always one way and heading in the opposite direction to where i wanted to go.. restaurants would just drag tables and chairs out onto the street and put a metal barrier across the top of the street blocking your way ..trying to negotiate this madness was a pain (getting parked was a fkin nightmare) but 1000s of peeps were out in the streets, from babies to grandparents enjoying each others company instead of sitting in the house typing shit into the internet.. i mean, contributing to forums This was the local town during siesta.. ..my teenager on the rare occasion he wasn't eating gellato ..it seems even Sicilians have love for Yorkshires finest square tubed mountain bikes ..this was Scopello, just around the coast ..on the morning we left, the wind woke me up at 7.30am, blowing a sun shield outside the house.. i had to get up and take it down, odd? .. it started to rain .. hot rain, this wasn't forcast? wtf.. by the time i got to the airport, it was beautiful blue skies again, then i heard the news about the billionaires in the sunken yaught when we got back to the UK.. we were staying just to the left of Palermo, the yacht sank just to the right of Palermo.. half an hour around the coastal road ..anyway, nice to see you all again!

Get comfy.. i've got a long overdue photo-dump We moved into our house 5yrs ago and the bathroom was already fked! I've been bodging the electrics to keep shit working Being an 1880era terrace house, there was never a bathroom, toilet would have been at the end of the garden (now a bike shed) and washing facilities would have been a tin bath in front of the coal fire.. so our bathroom would have been a back bedroom.. It looked like this.. .. there was a false wall to house the electric shower but designed by fkin idiots so one would open the door onto the sink which you would shimmy around before you could close it *face palm* I chalked out my plans full scale on the floor at work ..and started building the cabinets ..bought a lovely hand made concrete basin ..and some wood from https://www.albiontimber.co.uk/ We're not posh enough to have en-suite so much to the families disgust.. i bought a camping toilet from Amazon and put it in the outside loo ..I started building the cabinets in ..took a break for Pakistani mango season ...droooool! ..i didn't do any of the plumbing or tiling, i just planned it all out to the nth degree and bought all the stuff (well you know what i'm like, i spent months doing this ).. turned out the tiler was some kind of tiling god! Now it looks like this.. ..had the shower tray imported from Ireland I wanted the windowsil to drain the water back to the shower tray so rather than taper the fluted pink tiles i made a wooden plinth and cast a silicone mould ..then made a concrete windowsil instead ..turned out pretty well I bought this mid-century Italian medicine cabinet from https://vintarama.com/en-gb in Germany These are the plinths i made from the Ash i bought from Albion ..bits and bobs from Ferm Living ..and Zone Denmark ..i've built a hidden cupboard into the cabinets ..push the door and it clicks open Stacey Solomen can fk off with her scatter cushions.. i've missed my vocation in life as a bathroom designer!

Still feel uncomfortable making a picture of my outfit. But found a way a bit better than my dirty mirror. papa nui, buzz, fullcount, gh bass

108°F ain't gonna stop me from rocking my SC '47s. Plus Kamakura and Lofgrens.

got to visit a local nursery legend today. Jerry is a bit of a godfather when it comes to carnivorous plants specifically Sarracenia/pitcher plants. It was amazing to see all of his greenhouses and hybrids he’s made.

Same, "S" hooks. These are 3D-printed. My OCD wants to color code them somehow. So far, my laziness has won out.

Ah ok that helps!

I wear Red Wings in 10, Alden Barrie in 10.5. I got some Quodys (Grizzly boots) in 10. But they are tight. 10.5 would be better.

Deluxeware does a “3L (US M)” and a 4L (US L)”. Their standard XL fits similar to a true (but slim) US L, so depending on what you’re looking for those might be good options

I would check out the John Gluckow sweats for this as well. They are produced by Warehouse but the top size on the JG line is at least a full size larger than the largest Warehouse branded sweat, maybe a size and a half. Also true of Dubbleworks, runs a lot larger than regular Warehouse stuff at the top end.

^ I keep them in a Corby trouser press

I'm leaning towards the 311. I'm thinking 38 for myself. It's close to my Denime 220a in 36, which is a fit that I dig a lot.

More fall weather in Ohio today. Same ol hat Vintage vest again Vintage Oshkosh flannel DIY Blundstones

no while both are essentially straight cuts, they do fit differently. It's most noticeable in the top block where the 47 feels trimmer with more tapered waist. the 46 is a little more anti-fit in shape and has the obvious design quirks. the 46 fabric feels noticeably rougher and uneven than the 47 which is more uniform and has a smoother hand. I'm no expert in vintage but from what I've read and heard from sugar cane, the wartime fabrics were a little lighter in weight than the post war fabrics.

^ and that makes me think of my "photographers'" journey from discomfort to a way of life

Here are the detail shots of my pair of Kyotos that I promised a while ago. I wanted to get them done before they start to faded too much. I’ve worn them off and on for the summer (probably 10-15 times) but I see them getting some more use now that it’s getting cooler

These were my old Silverstone 47s before Doc_H turned them into sexy hot-pants Non of the wear is down to me.. they looked like this when i bought them from Yahoo sometime around 2013

Sorry for the slow response @rbeck.. it's been at least 6mths since my last confession Sure, the frame is a Mid-90s Pace RC200, They were made in Yorkshire, very light, very rigid, very quick The forks are Pace RC31, Flight saddle and Syncros post It's been through a series of incarnations but i think i'm finally done tinkering with it.. It's got Pace Renthal bars, Pauls levers, Pauls Thumbies (with Dura-Ace shifters) Pauls Klampers and Onza grips X-Lite L168 with Ringle Slamma Cooks Bros Racing crank (which @beautiful_FrEaK proxied for me) Pace rings, Syncros Ti BB, Suntour XC Pros, XTR M952 front and rear, CK hubs and Ultradynamicos

^ We sure are. But we find comfort here

My take is basically at that temperature you're going to be hot no matter what, might as well wear what you want 😂

Cross-post ish from WAYWT. New to me Butcher products lovely lightweight open collar sport shirt doing great in this last summer hurrah, and At Last & co Lot 203 WW2 jeans.

Hey l've got a few pics l screenshotted from his Facebook page, mind you - he's only wearing denim budgie smugglers 🤮

From "rough day on the range" to "rough day in the tub".

Smoking in a denim tux in a tiny bath… what a hobby! 😂

Continued... Cable car up Mount Trebevic, site of the 1984 Winter Olympics in Bosnia… and the abandoned bobsled Watched FK Sarajevo win 3-1, more than my own club could muster It was the 30th Sarajevo Film Festival so we watched a few films, documentaries actually… recommending The Sky Above Zenica and a striking short documentary called Pain (intense) We were back row, the projector was behind me and Junior MJF9... perfect for casting shadows at the credits!! Then onto the next stop (Mostar) via Sarajevo’s beautifully brutal railway station

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.
