About time, isn't it? I'm expecting the Marks and Spencer's WW2 cut in time for Christmas.

These past few pages are on fire. I love fall. Same old same old... Shrank the waist a bit on my sized up 501s to reduce the sag a bit but kept the legs dry. Much better.

It was recommended to me that I look into the 0105 cut and I'm pretty fired up about the fit. These are the lighter super smooth version and are ridiculously comfortable as advertised. I've normally been wearing a 34 in most jeans and went with a 33 in these. I could of probably sized down to a 32, but a little extra room isn't a bad thing. Tripled cuffed in these photos so I'll probably send these in for a hem at some point.

I have the ‘42s, I would say they’re pretty much in line with 601xx sizing of other models. Having worn a pair of OA’s for most of this year, coming back to the 601 feels a little oversized. But I wouldn’t size down I don’t think.

Warehouse vs Shins Type III Jacket. It took the Shins jacket about 17 years to fade that way. I'm sure the Warehouse will do it in less than year.

^ Blue Harbour or Autograph? 😂

@AlientoyWorkmachine I've seen yours so I have to say 'yes, fits your frame even better' I have to get used to the more cropped look.

@beautiful_FrEaK looking cool... happy it's found a good home 👍

It doesn't help that Kapital has a fairly tight limit on items produced, which I think is a good thing, but not when you are actually vying to get one.

Added some dark brown Vibram half soles to my 1960s Frye boots.

A variation of the tote bag I made for @srudy - leftovers of the same materials (CF Stead Repello suede for the main construction , with Horween CXL straps and edge binding and crust calfskin roughout for the lining); so it’s a little bit smaller and a simpler strap arrangement Hand sewing multiple layers of such soft materials isn’t a lot of fun, especially since the suede also camouflages/detracts from the work, but I think it’s still a good bag and probably worth in the end

Back to back days of fit pics! Temps dropped like 30 degrees overnight, happy to break out a jacket for the first time this year. Freewheelers S-8. YM Factory tee. Ooe Yofukuten OA03. Rick Owens.

Wearing old stuff today. Jacket is GAP 20 years old next year. Jeez that makes me feel old too... Jeans are vintage Lee made in US from I believe 1995 from care tag. Not worn these much since I got them last year. They have a kind of woolly texture. Best way I can explain it. Close up pic to show. Also pretty thick I'm guess at least 15oz but I'm no expert. Really like the back pockets placement. Hat - H&M Jumper - M&S Shoes - Cons

Evidently they were careless enough to do just that...peep the top left of the flasher.

The new Timber Cruiser Coat. Pretty special. Original 13oz Yarn-Dyed Duck

Super Denim Collectibles 1942 and s1945 jeans and the s1945 blouse are available for preorder from barnstormer. I’ve preordered from them before and was a very good experience. They mention expecting delivery in June 2025 (and that may be delayed)…

These Cushman special pocket tees also look quite nice. Sewn with the Union Specials 52800 and 39500 as well as the Singers 81 and 71. They also have these openings on the hem to hang them up for drying on a ship.

The MiUSA line is legit, I think they use the same factory as Mister Freedom for their jeans?

FC is about to release a new WW2 model in a few days

Only car i've owned which could be considered 'the latter day equivalent' would be my old 1954 Series 1 Landy, alas, I can't find a photo (i can sense @Dr_Heech disappointment from here) but even that was 8" narrower than the current Mini Seen here poking into shot in front of my old V-Dub I used to sub-let a council garage under a block of flats for £5/mth so i would garage the bug over the winter and use the Landy for chucking MTBs / BMXs and friends in the back, the bikes would be covered in mud but i could just hose it down.. come the spring, i would swap the Landy for the Bug and hit the festivals... then i became a responsible adult and bought a house I sold the Series 1 for £1200, it'd be worth £30k nowadays.. much like the Volvo, i bought them used, they only traveled a few 100 miles/yr and i sold them used so their carbon footprint was negligible.

^^^^ love the ceremonial gloves and gasps as the 42 and 45 models were unveiled on the video... good job I wasn't there as I'd have been tempted to whip 'em on given the jeans and jacket look like my perfect sizing 😉 I take it they'll replicate the vintage pattern for the golden sizes which make the set even more tempting Looking forward to more teasers over the next 4-6 months!

For the guys Stateside l can empathise to a point as lve been fortunate enough to spend time there, albeit 70's until late 90's so not necessarily relevant today, but the vastness of the country plus the size of the other vehicles on the road would certainly have pushed me to buy something safer (and probably bigger) than the ford focus l drive here ( think it was called the Taurus?) but the other crucial thing is that there was still a massive gap between the smaller Japanese and European vehicles and the 'smaller' vehicles produced in the US. I remember that spectrum of small cars available back then in the UK dwarfed the so called small cars available in the US and imo it hasn't changed a great deal. As an aside @Double 0 Soul here's my addition to really cheap motoring, the fun years of my 20's mostly driving these. They were cheap to buy, bought my first 2CV for 40 quid and my forth for 200. Great fun to drive, a convertible that also had removable seats for picnicking, crazy leaning into corners and ran on lemonade! (..well 50-60 mpg in reality). (Lake district. Check out the case of Directors in the boot lol) One time when we all couldn't fit into the car l removed out all but the drivers seat, opened the roof and took seven people standing up through the roof, whilst drinking and smoking, 12 miles through back roads to a pub and back no bother. Looking back the cars were fun but the inevitability of death by driving in such circumstances with a car essentially made out of tin foil was not well thought through. Saying that, with my son now learning to drive l want something a little more substantial for him with the volume of traffic on the back roads compared to when l was a young'un. And let's not forget our chocked up motorways. Born again boy racer pic incoming... @julian-wolf this is the best l can do to match your 240/260(?) - a 1981Renault Fuego 1.7 GTX l owned in 1999. The thing was 250 quid with a years MOT and that's as long as it lasted due to excessive rust underneath. Both front seats were broken and didn't fold forward so it was a squeeze for peeps trying to access the rear seats. To me it was a poor man's Porsche 924 and went like a rocket! The only sports type car l will ever own. Here's the only pic of it and of note the jacket is a pre lvc type 2.

isn't Volvo 240 is the best?

That flasher... Lol Levi and 501XX on it? come on you guys

Been wearing the 1890s most days since the end of July. Washed twice. Not giving much up yet.

I have sold off a couple pairs recently but this is most of my current rotation and/or what I have out to sell. Probably another dozen boots floating around in various places ( car, work, storage etc). Tony Lama roper*, Rag&Bone Alden clone, 1949 Nocona Kangaroo Pee Wee, NOS 1960 Frye (current favorites) Vtg Texas Boot, 1950s Justin Pee Wee, 1960s ACME/SEARS Phoenix inlay, No name tan zip boots, 1960s ACME Phonenix overlay 1970s Nocona*, Unknown Harness zip boots, Cheap black Laredo beaters, Justin Boots Vintage w Tulip inlay reissue, Justin Boots w Stars and Hearts inlay vtg reissue *for sale Still looking for a nice pair of tall heeled engineers with a flatter/slimmer toe.

Thought I'd post an updated fit of my 0105w seeing as I got the 32. I've washed and dried on high to shrink the inseam a couple of times but think at most I lost half an inch. Was thinking about getting them hemmed but the double cuff is growing on me. Loving the colour of the indigo now. Looks very saturated. It's great being able to wash and dry as normal and not worry that they will get too slim. The waist stretches back to the point i need a belt. Very comfortable. I'm stoked!

A good friend of mine helped restore The Viking, the Nordic ship that crashed Chicago's Columbian Exposition in 1893 so I got a private tour of the ship and it's archives. Amazing that this crossed the Atlantic from Norway. Chilly day meant early sweater vest and wool trousers.
