Nice restoration. There is a guy near use who specializes in acquiring and restoring mid century furniture. We’ve gotten a few things from him in the last couple of years. Something that I enjoy collecting are vintage pulp paperbacks. I especially like ones with Robert McGuinness or McGuiness-inspired cover art. When we find ourselves in a bigger city, we make a point to stop at a local used bookstore to browse the mystery and Sci-fi section. Most of our collection has been had at a couple bookstores in Twin Cities as well as Ann Arbor/Detroit. We have nearly the entire Travis McGee series and most Lew Archer series paperbacks now. Some of my favorites are below.

These are fun. I’ll add these: • Five Pocket Prize Fight • Five Pocket Fade-off • Shinya Showdown

A Collective Word of Mouth Pants Wearing Experience I always wanted to be in a lightly serious cult.

That sunlight in the back is almost too much for my old phone's relatively shitty sensor, but anyways. The Warehouse jacket shrunk up pretty nicely, still a little roomy but knowing Warehouse there's a bit more shrink to be had.. Ooe jeans/ Oak Street boots.

My TCB 30s just arrived @blooming You’re gunna love them. Super roomy and comfortable right off the bat, exactly the kind of wider fit I was hoping for. Couldn’t be happier with how they sit on me! Rocking a big cuff for now until I give these a wash in a month or so. My only (small) gripe is that clever web shop chainstitched hemmed these bad boys with copper thread instead of the original yellow, making the hem the only copper thread used on the pair. I have access to a local chainstitch service that could re-do it yellow (especially if I want a smaller cuff after washing) but the thing is despite between copper it’s a REALLY clean union special chainstitch that looks like it will rope very nicely. What would you guys do?

Tracking also just showed up for me. I drew up this calendar based on a triangulation of potential alternate pizza pant start dates.

Barker Black Archdale wingtip in antique chestnut calf. I've wanted these for about a decade but they were ridiculously priced. This used pair was a Christmas gift from my son and his husband. Love the crowned skull and crossbones motif on the toe, outsole, and insole. The design on the sole was made by hand with dozens of tiny brass nails. Amazing craftsmanship.

@yung_flynn if you don't get an answer beforehand, I can measure up if you give me a few days - my XL S101-00 is sitting washed in the wardrobe. They changed the cut late 2020 - https://ameblo.jp/deluxeware/entry-12637752743.html - though I am fairly sure mine is the newer shape. The larger US.M I have in the S102 (thought I was ordering a 'P' but instead received an '00' ...) is only wider in the width - blog post about that here; https://ameblo.jp/deluxeware/entry-12354134912.html

bump and price drop to 1650!

Opposite - A bit fuller in the lower leg. If you want slimmer you want the 02 cut. But again, the difference is mostly in the lower leg.

Got my tracking number a couple of days ago, looking forward to the pair!

WoMageddon

Keep it coming guys! Official abbreviation is WMJ though...anyway

tracking received hoping those in LA area stay unmolested by fire!

These look great! I think mine should be here on Monday, so I'll grab some pics if I can. Also- I'd leave the hem stitching as is. The more you mess with it, the more likely you'll end up with some subpar roping as I've learned from experience.

When Simone emailed my tracking number, I told him I would be wearing them when I volunteer to help clean up this mess. I'm excited to start and show everyone how good WOMJ are!

A personal message from Simone himself: So please tell us when you haven't received a tracking info!

I'm a bit of a coffee nerd. I brew mostly with a Hario V60 but sometimes Chemex, using a Fellow Stagg kettle and a 1ZPresso K-Max grinder. It's a pretty simple setup, but gets tasty results without much effort. Thank goodness I've never been particularly into espresso. My go-to roasters here on the east coast US are George Howell (Boston) and Black And White (North Carolina.) Currently drinking Howell's Dota, a Costa Rican light roast I've gone back to over and over. I tend to prefer washed or natural process coffees with some combination of chocolatey, berry, or wine flavor notes. I'm not a big fan of the various wacky and weird anaerobic process flavors that are in vogue for the last few years, to me this is like the coffee equivalent of 25 oz hyper-slub rainbow weft gimmick denim.

Regular Sunday morning beach outing with the doggo...

I ordered this Celluloid/Warehouse anniversary jacket - the WW2 Tailor jacket - in early 2024 and it finally came. It’s a coarse/rough/chunky feeling denim, quite dark, unwashed. AFAIK They call it their WW2 denim. When I ordered I somehow missed the bit about the delivery date and thought it was in stock, only to find out it was going to be the better part of a year. Color is most accurate in the close up picture of the placket and the sleeve. https://www.celluloid1984.com/?pid=180239828 It’s sort of combination of Duck Digger and Dead Stock Blue. Apparently they only made 60 of them. I’m a little nervous about the shrunk fit in the shoulders, but everywhere else definitely needs the shrink. This one really was sort of a shot in the dark but it was too unique a piece for me to pass up when it came out. It’s funny how tastes slowly change - I’m not sure I would order it now if it popped up, but I’m not mad that it’s finally here. This doesn’t count as a 2025 buy! If it doesn’t shrink up to a good fit throughout I will probably let it go, but I’m hoping it does!

SOA03XX with custom arcs from @Duke Mantee template! Thank you to @Broark for helping me track down a pair

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.

In August 2021, I put a pair of Roy Peanut Pants on ice as they fit too relaxed for my liking. Some of you might remember I debated between selling them or even sending them off to experts like Indigo Proof for significant alterations. At the time, virtually all of you said to move them along or keep but leave them as is. Even Rain advised that recreating some details in the same exact manner that Roy did, might not be possible. Turns out that all of you are right. I went away for 3 years and put on 5 kilograms with food and drink, and now they fit me a little better. Still, they're long in the rise and can slip down during the day and look dumpy in the crotch and butt, but I'm much, much happier with this fit, and have a refreshed appreciation for Roy's work. It is a shame to not have a piece from Roy, but it is an even greater shame to have owned, but never actually tried, something from Roy. With that I'm gonna dump a bunch of photos here. Nothing unexpected for most folk, but I hope it does show why this hobby continues to fascinate us. Front and back photos demonstrate the rather full "relax-tapered" cut, show a glimpse of the internal cloth Peanuts®️ patch, the rounded back pockets and a vintage-looking Big Bro cloth patch with green lettering. That coin pocket is shaped exactly like the back pockets, and it is very deep and wide for an accessory pocket. The back pocket rivets are exposed but done in a manner that it does not scratch furniture. This is a 31" inseam, and combined with the very high rise (these should sit at the navel for me, and even a little above, if I were being honest about being a Super Short King) means I need quite a big double cuff to keep them like high-waters, which is how I prefer my looser jeans to sit. Right away, you might notice the fabric does have a myriad of shades and quite interesting texture. These are very sparingly worn and they are already crinkling in many parts, especially near the front pocket openings and the waistband. The roping at the hems is impeccable. Roy uses all silver buttons for this release. Despite the long rise and rather long fly placard, it only has a total of 4 buttons. I wish it had 5, but who am I to question Roy about his work? A closeup of the narrow, raised and tucked belt loops along with the kind of rivets Roy chose for this release. Check out that tightly sewn bartack for the belt loop, done in a different shade of indigo. Another closeup showing the rivets and one of the exposed corners of the coin pocket. Notice the all-white stitching used for this release. I've seen photos of some pairs of Peanut pants with a different comic strip, but here's the one that came with mine. I'm a little sad thinking the patch will probably wear off to white (or just simply tear eventually) at the top where it sits on the waistband. The shell stitching detail that loads of people love about Roy jeans. Those rivet backs look like brass. Another well-loved detail, Roy's embroidered name and size tag on the back of the front pocket bag. From what I've read, these pocket bags are cut and sewn from an unsanforized canvas material. I'm just a simpleton, so I'll tell you that these heavy duty pocket bags are extremely reassuring to have in daily use. I am positive they will put up with a lot of abuse and still feel comfortable against the thigh. There's two kinds of Rivet backs here. The ones on the fly are one, and the rest are another kind. Now this. I get very excited when I talk about this...excited as a child in a candy store. I tried hard to show it here but it isn't clear. That back pocket patch has a plumpness to it that makes it obviously sit proud to the back pocket. It appears to be sewn in a manner that would become plump as the unsanforized denim around it shrinks with washing.Yet the stitching does not cause the denim to crinkle or appear untidy. Both the back pockets and the coin pocket are entirely lined with the same off-white unsanforized canvas fabric that's used for the front pocket bags. The canvas fabric was chosen, and sewn in a manner that it shrinks with the outer denim, perhaps shrinking at almost the same rate, so that neither the denim nor the canvas forms ripples. I put my hand in those pockets and the inner canvas lies unbelievably flat against the denim. The details really do matter. Selvedge line and Roy's own pink thread being used in his very own black seed denim co-developed with the famed Cone factory. That same thread that's used for the belt loop bartacks shows itself again here. A closeup of the fabric. This is at the outseam of one leg, Don't quote me on this, but I wouldn't be surprised if the selvedge line weave and texture was done in such a manner that it would produce more pronounced train tracks with use. Again you can see this is a really sparingly used pair and we are already getting some bulging of the outside of fabric in the area. The warp threads feel quite plump and that contributes to the texture. There really isn't any pronounced slub or nep, but a constrained level of hairiness is present. Another close up of the fabric, the chainstitch at the hem and the roping. Couple of fit pics, which I put up because they're surely mandatory if I were to claim that they fit better. Notice the leg twist in equal amounts in both legs. On my frame, they are still very relaxed in the thigh with some hip flare. They generally look more flattering when worn higher at the navel but they don't always stay at that level unless I pull them up occasionally during the day. Pardon the unfashionable T-shirt hike up in the back photo, I did that just to give an idea of how those back pockets sit and what the back pocket patch actually looks like on the body. Anyway, that's enough indulgence I'll allow myself for one day, and more than enough to bore most of you. But for sure, Roy jeans are good.
