Just contemplating the definition of madness over here… 😆

Well, I wasn’t quite thinking that! It’s reasonable for any non denim head to consider leg twist a flaw - it’s presumably one reason it’s eliminated in modern denim. Perhaps it’s on LVC - selling vintage repros to a mass audience - to let them know such things like leg twist are considered a part of the charm for many.

Post cold wash fit. Legs are nice and roomy, top is ever so slightly snug, but is already stretching out. Might do one more hot wash just to get whatever shrink is left out (lost an inch in the inseam with the first cold wash) but feeling like the sizing worked out pretty well!

Good eye @Talan they are Dynaudio. Not glued down, but they are the powered/active monitors and thus they weigh ~20lbs/9kg each and are quite stable even with the records against them. Though I did put some back on the shelf after your comment I should post them in the “Nice Things” thread. I’ve had these speakers since ~1998 and they’ve held up really well and still sound great! Thank you! @MJF9 My better half chose the seating and I love the colors. It’s fun having a green couch and yellow chairs. And like @Maynard Friedman pointed out, they are album covers that I swap out occasionally.

Mepse is releasing a great looking 1954 XX cut and a type II jacket https://mepse.base.shop/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAab5-ngxbl2KorrB7LPEWKLvdWuZzp7f0kXnP86LLEER1RHnkORBu0Gqg8c_aem_kr9szfe6odr3a2W4SwzsnQ

^ I think they’re framed album covers

Soda does tend to do that. I'm sure someone told him he's an idiot before. Sadly this doesn't seem to stop them from being stupider and even worse they just have to call attention to it.

these boss of the road repros look awesome.

Lee Storm Rider 101 LJ jacket original from 60s/70s. Dating these jackets seems to be a bit up in the air. This jacket does have the M.R. (Marca Registrada) on the inside label and the black pocket flap tag. The inside label is an embroidered version. There are two holes in the forearm area of the left arm. One button is missing from the left adjustment strap on the back. Wonderful condition. Just worn in the right amount. Size 44 regular. I'm a 44 in a suit jacket. The Storm Rider cut is slim. I can wear a lightweight long sleeve shirt underneath, but it's most comfortable with a t-shirt. If you are a 42 or smaller, you could layer depending on your build. Listing here for a couple of days before I put it on ebay. Asking $300.00. Plus shipping. Price will go up on ebay. Forgot measurements: Pit to pit: 24 1/2" (remember jacket is lined, don't want this to be deceiving) Shoulders: 22" Sleeve from seam: 24" Waist: 21"

Someone on the Levis website isn't happy with the leg twist on their (3rd pair) of LVC 66 lol.

No hat, wild hair Same vest, old stussy shirt, black canes

The '51 does yield some nice fades, posting some various shots from Hoosier.

Washed the WWII jeans last weekend, probably going to stash them away for a bit ahead of the WoM contest. I've really enjoyed wearing this pair so far, might be my all time favorite cut from OA.

@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.

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:

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

What happened to your orders @Alec Leamas? Did they arrive unhemmed?

Hello contestants, Great news… Simone is on track to finish sewing all the jeans by the end of the coming week 👏 👏 👏… he will then sort out the patches… and over the past few days, Simone, @beautiful_FrEaK and I have been discussing exactly that... To date, Simone’s patches have been made using a rubber stamp. We think it looks cool, though the graphics are less sharp than on patches made using a foil stamp. So now Simone’s having a foil new stamp made for his standard (non-competition) jeans. See pic. Our current competition default is a rubber stamped patch. I asked if a foil stamp was an option. It is. However, there’s a one-off cost of 190 Euros which we can’t expect Simone to cover... noting we’re already getting a good deal. Therefore, if we want a foil stamped patch, we could split this cost 26 ways, which would mean an extra 7 Euros a person. @beautiful_FrEaK and I agree that it’s best to put this out there for a good ole Sufu vote… what could possibly go wrong 😉 ??!!! We could have stayed quietly rubber lipped, but imagine the guilt we’d have had to carry for the rest of our lives… To avoid production delays, we must make a decision by Tuesday 26th November. Polls will close at 18:00 GMT (UK time). OK… below are 3 options and proposed guidelines / rules… Options 1. The Sufu WoM contest patch, rubber stamp version – our current plan No extra cost Cool image, but less sharp than with a foil stamp. Perhaps this will look cooler 2. The Sufu WoM contest patch, foil stamp version Pay an extra 7 Euros each = about $7 = about £6. 190 Euros in total. Same cool image. We do not have a foil stamped patch example available to compare the difference v the rubber stamp. Only your imagination. Expected sharper resolution. 3. The WoM standard non-contest patch, foil stamp version (see below NEW VERSION) No extra cost Sharper resolution It’s not exclusive to the competition Let’s keep the decision making process simple i.e. All contest jeans will have the same patch One vote per contestant (non contestants, no vote... we'll know 😉) Contestants vote for either option 1, 2 or 3 If contestants miss the deadline, then they lose their vote unfortunately. We want to avoid delays to Simone’s schedule. The winner is the option with the most votes by the deadline time i.e. 18:00 GMT (UK time) on Tuesday 26th November In the event of a tie, I’ll ask our lead judge Maynard to toss a coin to pick the winner If option 2 wins, and someone can’t make the extra cost, then please let me and Tilmann know by DM and we’ll discuss what to do If I’ve forgotten an important clause or condition... tough sh!t And if you’re still reading this and haven’t fallen asleep… you’re already a winner in my eyes Now I'm going to set up a poll and keep my fingers crossed it works... if it fails, we'll use DMs... let's see!

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)

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

https://freewheelers.co.jp/about/brand/great_lakes.html This is (briefly) what the Great Lakes sub brand is about. It’s a fairly wide ranging idea, but if you dig a little you’ll start to understand the concepts and even the garment construction which is often quite different (this is something each sub brand will demonstrate).
