My kid keeps destroying pants. I’ll have to sew in double knees at some point. Some 80s Levi’s with some serious leg twist, nippers that prob shouldn’t be worn much anymore, wranglers and some modern carhartt that didn’t hold up nearly as well as the other pants. I used some flat head and roy denim scraps as well as some canvas and flannel fabric swatches from Seuvas.

FW 1927 type 1. FW 504xx Denim Pullover. FW 1922 jeans

@Cocoa_Lapin I think I can chime in, I previously owned the Mister Freedom Blouson de Quart and replaced it with the Freewheelers N-1 last year. I had both jackets in size 44 and I find the FW one fits a little smaller mainly due to the thicker pile lining, but the MF jacket was a bit too big to begin with. I'm not sure I would go two sizes up from your MF jacket, I think 1 should likely be sufficient if you want a bit more room. Even with the FW jacket feeling a little smaller I was able to comfortably layer sweatshirts / flannels underneath it. Let me know if you want any measurements or have any other specific questions. And while it's not the Taildragger, this should be out in the next couple of months. I think it looks great but I'm on a jacket buying moratorium.

I don’t wear these 1947 jeans as much anymore but they’re looking great. I’ve the last round of repairs on the fabric and stitching fixes, i leave them as only occasional wear so they don’t get too messed up.

Wore the new Boncouras for a week, decided to give them a wash just to see if there was any additional shrink left. They felt pretty starchy and there wasn't much puckering / roping, so expected to see a bit of shrink with our older washing machine. Pre-wash measurements (o/w) after a week of wear: Waist: 38 in. Front rise: 12.5 in. Back rise: 18 in. Thigh: 14 in. Knee: 10.5 in. Hem: 9.75 in. Inseam: 32 in. And post warm wash, only shrunk back up in the waist and some additional inseam shrink which I was looking for: Waist: 36.5 Front rise: 12.5 in. Back rise: 18 in. Thigh: 14 in. Knee: 10.5 in. Hem: 9.75 in. Inseam: 31 in.

Rubs hands...

Had some photos taken by John Watson of the Radavist of some of my bikes while wearing my DD-1004XX. Side note, I'm still on the look out for hand me down denim for my son...

504xx arrived and fit is spot on for me in a 40. paired with the 1927 type 1 and 1922 jeans

Another wash before going into temporary storage. 1946 model

Edit: I wasn’t feeling it. Been leaning more into the 70s vibes lately, and going to a show later in Richmond, so decided to reall lean into it today. Also did some fresh repairs to my Korean War M-52 with some Samurai scraps I had laying around. vintage/amanda shires/full count/red wing

I get my hat repairs done at Joyride Vintage/ Garrahan Hat Co. in Orange, CA. Last time I was there I bought this latest addition to my collection. It's a Knox. I didn't yet have a hat with a turned up brim & this one filled the need.

I've had a gin & tonic, but have to admit that this thread is entertaining. Penis balcony -- a phrase to hang onto.

@Broark@MJF9 Thank you both for the info, appreciated! That new upcoming jacket does look really cool…

@Cocoa_Lapin I dropped you a quick dm earlier with a few of my measurements so you can compare and guage your fit against the size 44 FW N-1

^ b_F, you're already Famous here, are you going Naked too, before the WOM contest jeans arrive?

Bottom half same as the last few posts. Newly acquired John Gluckow shirt (from S&S, first time in the new Berkeley store). RMC undershirt. Vintage hat also recently acquired.

Great buckle edwin

@blooming, I don't think this patch was very shriveled to begin with. If anything, it's a little tighter at the edges now than when new. But yes, lovely leather aging on the patch.

@indigoeagle here is a YouTube video of the forthcoming SC42 model and they discuss the differences between the Levi's 37, 41 and 42 models.

@cheapmuthafukr that fit is making me consider if I should get some flares. Dig the jacket too, nice repairs!

^ I think @Flash sold all his Nippers to Tony at https://www.fulmine.co.uk/collections/nippers and looks like there's still some available. Top kids jeans - Ryan knows his stuff and his lad looked super cool in them.

Sorry for the late reply.. missed this Absolutely, but you've also got to appreciate that people can make a style look bad.. ie- a cheap suit can look amazing on a sexy M&S model and an expensive suit can look terrible on a silicone valley tech-bro, buying an expensive item, isn't enough to make it look good.. i'd see this all the time in the MF thread over on DB, folks would spend a kings ransom on an ill fitting CPO shirt.. then turn the cuffs back so they'd have these massive mermaid cuffs flapping in the wind like Paul Hollywood from The Great British Bake Off.. whereas other forum peeps with a bit more style made them look dope! JJs grandma (previous pg) looks like a middle aged Primark shopper (i'd guess at Susan or Deborah) Friday night, Dove & Rainbow, couple of pints of Carling and blackcurrant, bit of Whitesnake on the jukebox.. flirt with the kebab vendor.. i'm not sure this is the image he was trying to project when he was spending £1000s on his RO outfit.. Tragic really.. yet someone with a bit of style could make it look good... Same story with the oiversized RO boots and tucked jeans which you previously mentioned.

Stop trying to win me over, you!

it's that high priced Rick Owens type of humor.

Brilliant! I thought this discussion was sunk.. but you've managed to save it with a lifebuoy of a post Well done sir! 👏

any employee who speaks poorly of Rick Owens publicly or privately is made to sit on a metal uncomfortable chair in a dark chamber listening to music that alternates between romantic era classical music and abrasive industrial music until they come out looking like a ninja alien. we do a similar thing if someone speaks ill of Toyo except they're made to sit in an almost period correct 1950s bedroom complete with asbestos in the drywall and made to listen to rockabilly until they come out wearing a full denim tux. we take things very seriously.

Really puts it into perspective that none of this really matters.

Putting on 1000 dollars of heritage workwear today to work from home and shitpost about rick owens.

Penis balcony pants is the first bit of lightheartedness I’ve seen in the RO collection. Still not for me, but laughter is good medicine any way it comes. Perhaps I need to reconsider my assessment!

Still mostly same. Inis meain, Ooe Tux, Kapital, red wing

Antique Cowboy Boots Pre 1930? Unknown maker. Seller said 1910s based on pattern, lack of toe bug stitch, construction, and rubber-less heels but I think they are probably a little later. Something about them just says 1920s or 30s. Heavy vintage leather is still flexible and supple, heels have bare leather and nail bottoms since this pair seems to predates the use of rubber on cowboy boots. Love the curves and last shape. The pattern is also a bit unique with a higher vamp like an engineer boot, and very similar to the Clinch cowboy boots made by @brasstokyo that I'm obsessed with. A similar vintage pair that clearly inspired Brass is included at the end. Love the evidence of the maker like crease running down the middle of the vamp where the leather was centered for lasting. And the best part? They are exactly my size and in perfectly wearable condition. Infrequently of course. Any info or educated guesses as to age or maker are very welcome and appreciated.

So THAT’s how it’s done! I wondered why I was getting strange looks with my dazzling pearlescent white skin and orange teeth 🤔

^ Leeds you say? It’s funny how we never see him and @MJF9 in the same room…

Jeans being waist overalls until the 60s Finding the perfect fit now basically results in buying denims with such particular dimensions it nullifies the cut / pattern
