@indigoeagle kinda made my buying this pair. And I'm not even mad about it. 601XX 1951 in W34. Same size as the 1947 I tried but wasn't so happy with the fit. These 1951 have a lower back rise and overall slimmer top block which I prefer (especially the lower rise). With the upcoming Word of Mouth contest these will see less wear but they are also a reason I listed some of my too slim fitting Denime jeans (221, 224 and 66) for sale.

Surprise delivery of the new late 40s jeans today. This is a straightforward straight leg, high rise fit that's going to check a lot of people's boxes. I took a size 36 on these which is 1 size up from my typical TCB size, I'd say these come up slim relative to the tag size.

Warehouse x3, Oak Street.

The '51 cut suits you well b_F, I swear one of these days I'll get around to trying out the core '47 and '51. But it just gets more and more difficult when they keep releasing seasonal pairs. (collection previews from Komori-san's IG)

Kamakura Cushman ~25 layers of undergarments keeping the cold out!!! Denime 220XX-47 Alden

One for my hem roping nerds out there! Hems on the 220XX-47.

Cleaned up my trusty Rag & Bone Indy clones. Did a little digging and found that Grenson had a factory in Brooklyn around the time these were made and along with a few other clues it seems my long running mystery of who made these amazing boots is finally solved.

Happy with the shrinkage. They are very stiff at the moment so look a bit weird but I believe they soften up quickly from what I've read here. I washed at 40 low spin but think I should get some more shrinkage in leg next wash. Waist is perfect. These feel like cardboard right now compared to my fullcounts

A couple of lovely outfits from an old friend of the brand, with an octave mandolin, in his 916 1-1/2 breasted Common Coat in Khaki dyed Herdwick Check Casement and 122 hadal brown Pleat Back Trousers in corresponding Herdwick Stripe Casement. Then below with a Weaver's Stock shirt home-dyed green and an 886 Stock in Barge Blue Flannel. I love how the herdwick yarn pulls the cotton casement in after dyeing, giving a quilted effect.

'51 have become my favorite of any jeans I've owned since I got into this whole mess years ago. If I could only keep one pair it would be them.

I’ll try and get around to taking better pics but here are my 47’s after about a year and a half of wear.

@Maynard Friedman after all these years mate... it's so good to see the real you ^... with a big beaming smile too 😊

Simone’s cinched it!

They'll run out of jeans to repro... eventually!!!

Had a similar situation, I booked a campsite for two nights I thought. My boy and I on our annual biketrip. came back from a day out, there was a big ass tent squeezed on “our” spot. i was like I don’t care , but the big ass tent family were waving their booking. so when they didn’t pay attention I checked my reservation. Turns out I made a wrong booking. put the tail between my legs and moved our tent. me and my boy swapped clothes , to try and confuse Mrs smooth sailor. his oversized clothing fit me fine. my clothes fit him better than on me. next generation their turn

I can see why! I thought found this 'one' jeans before. But then sometimes tastes change. Or something else happened 😅 Edit: I'd like to add that also a body can change...

Ah, the latter half 1942s with the crotch rivet and the denim pocket bags.

Picked up a couple of Warehouse sweats from Grailed but this grey one just doesn't look good on me, color wise. Lot 404. Label size 42. Fits true to size. Freedom sleeve. Measurements are: Chest 23.5", Length 25", Sleeve 29" (from collar edge to end of sleeve along the top of the arm). Condition is very good More info here:https://jamesdant.com/collections/warehouse-co/products/lot-404-freedom-sleeve-sweatshirt-heather-grey Looking for $70 shipped to anywhere in the CONUS. Would very happily also ship to the UK and do my best to keep postage costs to an absolute minimum if its worth it for anyone, given import duties.

Thank you! Yes indeed this is Levant Red in the foreground (bright red Shetland and a natural white yarn), and the background is Agate Blue (dark blue and natural black yarn): For reference size 3 chest is 21" not including the gussets, and the full length is 27". Please just email me if you'd like full measurements.

Stunning photos! and jeans are looking beautiful. I got bitten by a big dog once (not sure what kind), hurt like hell and drew blood but just kind of mangled the fabric, didn't make as nice of a tear as yours. I hope you've recovered well. It's been a long time since some in depth factory photos, here's some from a woollen spinning factory, in preparation for the yarn that went into AW24 Tacuinum Pullovers and Cardigans, and Paper Boat hats. These photos are of "woollen" spinning, as opposed to "worsted" spinning. Worsted spinning is a more refined process where the fibres are made to lie more smoothly, and is typically used for worsted suit fabrics, where as woollen spinning (two Ls!) gives a fluffier yarn more normally used for knitwear or coarser tweed woven fabrics. For these Shetland-type yarns a slightly uneven colour is preferable, so a blend of different coloured fibres are used. The wool fibre is dyed under pressure, which could also damage finished yarn, so it's better to do the dyeing right at the beginning. The yarn designer has a library of colours: what was going through during my visit was a greenish tweed yarn with flecks of other colours. Even though the yarn will end up looking pretty classic, seeing the fibre mix is an eyeopener: The yarn is all mixed together in a big barrow, so that the colours are randomly dispersed. They're then fed up into the long carding process: the wool fluff is pulled through a succession of spiked rollers, in a stream, and as they go through the fibres start to lay inline with each other: until eventually the stream of fibre has enough body to be pulled off the carding rollers into a sort of loose scarf called a sliver: here's a closeup: the sliver gets pulled around a corner and flattened out again, which continues to straighten the fibres through another length of the room, until it's ready to be separated, like this: the stream of fibres is run through slightly tacky, static-charged rubber belts, which pull between sharply defined metal grooves, cutting the stream into ~1" wide sections. In the picture above, my guide has pulled out on of these sections- you can see that it's only barely holding together. however: Spinning itself will happen later. For now the narrow slivers are gently wound up onto cones, so that they can be put into the spinning process. Here are a couple more pictures- at this stage what looks like yarn is still just sliver under very slight tension. The brown rollers are also slightly tacky, which helps everything move through, but these run quite slow and at very carefully controlled tension to avoid snapping. At this point we'll switch over to a blend of natural undyed British wool, which is actually much closer to what I ended up using, but is less dramatic in the blending: these wrapped slivers are moved over into the spinning room, where they are set up over vertical spinning cones, to put twist into the slivers, under a higher tension, and create usable yarn: this is ringspun yarn, and that little loop in the wire over the pink cone top is the ring which the yarn is spun through, bouncing it around and giving it surface character. Now I'd originally enquired about spinning a blended natural grey with a blended blue- these yarns with this result: But while it's a beautiful thing it seemed a bit anticlimactic and subdued, so in the end I made a 2-ply yarn combined of a pure bright colour and a pure natural colour. Here are the results:

50 shades of indigo. A new RAW film. Hahahhaha

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

Oh they’re lovely! Do you have any comparison to other Alden lasts sizing wise? It appears the common wisdom is to go the same as your Barrie last size.. There’s a nice pair of the Kafka Mercantile make up of the military derby going for a great price on eBay.. I’m virtually there I was just gathering a few more notes on the sizing! Ha

Would any kind Americans with a Discogs account be prepared to buy 4 or 5 CDs on my behalf, bundle them into a single package and ship them over to the UK?

Seems like a question for @Flash??

Does anyone know where these trainees can be bought? It's a request from our man Simone. Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this is appropriate but a heads up that James Dant has 20% off most things with code SECRETSALE24 including some lesser seen in the U.S. Warehouse pieces. I've been wanting the Lot 2202 hunting jacket for quite some time and 20% off with no tax to California pushed me over the edge.

Agreed, looks like a good fit, and yes once they soften up they'll feel a lot better I'm sure!

Looks ace @PrettyBoyTony! Will soften up quick, easy to stretch out for a 15.7oz denim too.

Yes @willi they look awesome! Didn't need the reminder that I wanted a pair though! Still never really nailed down my ideal WW2 era pair

Wow that’s a great fit. Looks better than their old 40s fit imo, less flat in the butt

I unstitched the tab on my 25th anniversary pair and after a few washes the tab was trashed.

^ Mine didn’t. When I first unpicked the stitching the tab felt quite weak and flimsy but over time and washes, it somehow seems to have tightened up and become more resilient.

Simone needs to work on his Photoshop skills. 😂

The aspiration for Dec start remains though not committed as it's a one man show and there's quite a bit to get through... I made the point to Simone we all should be ok for jeans in any case 😉... fingers crossed though eh!!

BiGxFullcount Contest Jeans

I rode up to the old Ski Village yesterday from Kelham Island It was built on the land which used to be Parkwood Springs where folks would live next door to the heavy industry where they worked .. you'd pop out your front door and into the foundry next door.. "see'ya toinght love" kids would play on the slag heaps, you'd be lucky to live to 40.. ..the land was flattened in a slum clearance and folks were relocated to places like Park Hill or Kelvin Flats, it's still toxic af and constantly monitored. When i was a school kid, i did a 24hr ski- (well snowboard) -athon at the Ski Village for Comic Relief.. i say 'did' we just got stoned and fked around for charity. It was the largest artificial ski resort in Europe at that time.. our freestyle Olympians trained here.. when the business hit hard times, it was torched.. by 2016 it had suffered a further 50+ arson attacks.. you'd often see the hillside in flames. In the early 2000s it was just wasteland.. i used to go to allnighters here, namely NY Sushi or Phonetics, watching the sun rise over the city while the ground shook with base was a sight to behold Last time i was here in 2015 it looked like this.. Then a traveling community moved in for a few years (unofficial trailer park) till the council evicted them.. the gates are missing now, i think they got weighed in for scrap... just massive boulders keeping vehicles out ..and now, it's been given back to nature.. a 2km urban MTB trail has been dug around the perimeter.. zero help from council funding, just goodwill of the peeps.. local boy Steve Pete shows us how it sould be ridden ..and us mere mortals ..looking down the last remaining bit of dry ski slope, keeping it on theme.. sleeve of a Full Count sweatshirt ..iphone 4 pano over the city ..

@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.

Stills from a documentary about the early days of mountain biking. I think late 70s pretty suave dudes and girls

Is anyone knowledgeable on the black Red Wing leathers? For engineers the main ones seem to be RW Chrome and Klondike. The fades look a bit different. 2268 from the 90s with Chrome leather The 2966 with Klondike leather. The 9060 is a flat toe Beckmans, also with Klondike. It was recently offered in US stores and last year in some European shops in relation with the Munich store anniversary. But it's mostly sold out now. It has been available in Japan for many years. I think, it was also RW Japan, that had developed it. Mr Suzuki of Two Monkeys and Ol Shanks amongs other had a hand in it, if I remember correctly. Perhaps we'll see it in the European shops next year. Not sure, how popular it would be. It also looks nice worn.

All this pizza talk had me hungry for lunch. Just went with a classic pepperoni and basil.
