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.

What i write her seems to be verging on sacrilege BUT is anyone else not that impressed by how their 714 / 711s are fading? Basically I thought my wife had my 714s but turned out it was her M&S mom jeans (made in Egypt 1% elastine). They look VERY similar in colour and fading right now. I was kind of feeling a bit meh about the texture and colour anyway and when I saw they looked almost identical to standard high street pair that go for £25 I'm kind of like 'huh?!' Maybe my 714s are in that awkward phase and need to fade more. Just an observation. Lol absolutely no shade thrown at M&S jeans or elastine whatever but just didn't expect them to look very similar to a much higher quality pair. Maybe says more about M&S denim. Aware as well there is more to the pair than the colour and fading and the craftsmanship ect is still on another level. Anyway here's a couple of comparison photos 😂

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.

I’d like to see a few extra rivets dotted around in places they shouldn’t be - and maybe an additional pocket randomly located. Those amateur wartime seamstresses! 😡

Do you have to pay the whole price now? With the low Yen this could be in your favour, who knows how the Yen is in 8 months... Now I only wait for Sugar Cane to also make a 1941 and 1944 model in 2026 so they have all years covered

I feel like this take on WWII models is starting to get a little lazy. "Boss, how are we going to make our WWII jeans stand out from the competition?" Miki-san: "Oh I've got it, just leave about 3 inches of runoff at every possible sewing point!"

The jacket looks like someone went a bit mad with the silly string 😅

Looks like someone has thrown a plate of spaghetti at the model!

@coleslawyum Looking forward to that one mate! This will probably end up more pricey but maybe someone can get these for a low price: https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/auction/yahoo/input/r1155548982/

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.

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.

With my jackets I do turn them inside out, but don't button up. I'm afraid that might cause odd creases/pulling. I could be completely mistaken about that but I don't want to find out the hard way. I use the 'delicates' setting with no spin.

I read the subsequent comments first and still had a good chuckle when I opened the link. I honestly can't decide if they're a winking self-parody or taking wonky self-seriousness to its extreme.

Pull a few threads out here and there and you've got them!

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.

Just arrived, deadstock one-wash condition. Pictures aren’t great due to poor light.

Kinda been my uniform lately, nothing but t-shirts during these long summers. Makes for pretty boring fit pics! YM Factory tee. Ooe Yofukuten. Rick Owens.

helleaux! I thought I should introduce myself now that I've finally joined. I think I've been lurking since 2021 (!) but in late 2022 suffered a stroke which paralyzed me. however, I've been working to recover ever since, and this year started wearing my old clothes again. can't really work on fading jeans right now (I like pre-lawsuit "fake" levi's repros with the arcs) but I also love jackets so I'm committed to this t-back FW 46-47 for now. the rest is very old polo.

Here we go. SC1966 New pair (34x 34) vs old pair (33 x 34). Same tags and both should be one washed (even though the seller said raw for the new pair).

Busy, busy at the shop. Lil sweaty and knackered. All denim Games Suit.

Very long time no post, but loving these cinch back 1003XXs a lot! Excuse the lifted shirt but just wanted to show the rise. Closest fit I’ve found to my old Warehouse Montgomery Ward 1939s from 2014 or so. These are a 1941ish. Very pleased. Size 38". Shrank down a good inch and a half in the waist and a couple of inches in length. Still required a hem and chain stitch to 29”…

Bunch of pics of my SC1946 after another wash

The only pic of me wearing said silverstone jorts. Paired with lvc duck vest (nice big pockets for screws etc) whilst building my shed in 2018.

Another wash on my home/lounging pants. Really love the blue on these, I should wear them more. The buttons started out all black and have patinated over time. Despite the lack of wear, they fade super fast, fastest of any Cone fabric I’ve experienced.
