Bump indeed... posted this before... MF RBs plus SC Okinawa denim have been in my mind lately... Bought Nov 2017... wore it a lot for a few years... snugger than I wear most jackets these days (or have I grown?!)... lots of life left though

Experiencing an unexpected lull during a product launch, here is an office mugshot. S506XX 44-45 and a new pair of 601RB. The hip flare is a bit much but I’m sure will settle down

The DHL gods were good to me this week. Apple’s built in translation app has been actually pretty good with converting War Denim into English.

Been struggling to find something that I’m happy with fit wise recently, but am very pleased with the 1944 DD-S1003XX. Mostly because they’re not DSB which I’ve decided I don’t really like all that much. I’m turning into @Alec Leamas though and am very upset that I have to get rid of this lovely factory chain stitch…

Just received the Warehouse 1082 Chino in non-wash from Takeoff-clothing Lovely Blue-Grey Colour. Good fit in this state but quite long. They threw in the Warehouse catalogue too. Just to tempt me further.

I don’t know what wash number this was (perhaps 5 or 6) but couldn’t resist a few shots in the breezy back garden seeing as it’s so spring-like out today. Varying light conditions but tried to capture the colour as realistically as I could, the real colour lies somewhere between the light and dark ones ha. I love these jeans.

Ever since watching To Live and Die in LA a few weeks ago and traveling to New Orleans, my interest in cowboy boots was piqued. I ended up finding a pair of 1984 Lucchese San Antonio’s in black Cherry (miraculously in my size - 13B) and in good condition for a good price. The color is most accurate in the outdoor pics

Denime is openinga flagship store in Tokyo. A little interview: https://web.hh-online.jp/hankyu-mens/contents/news/007652/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaYgjZBx8U-IPTCRulWg9hLhIAbU0hFPA2Z42cbO9PAOQv9xIE_DxzoTU1Y_aem_3TE390Jlx2kVI-U80tcpOw

Hmm.. if it was me, i'd scan each page individually, crop them for neatness, enhance the images and post them into their own thread... just sayin'

And the jackets are already hitting the stores

66B (Orizzonti-era), size 33, deadstock w/ tags. The pocket tag doesn't say Orizzonti on it like my Kyoto's, but the retail tags had it. I gave it a hot soak/hot wash/air dry. The pre-wash waist measured 87cm and shrunk to 81cm. I can see what you mean @beautiful_FrEaK- the 224 denim is definitely aiming to replicate this fabric. The fit is nice, as if I just sized up 1 or 2 on my 224, which is no surprise. I'll try to get a fit pic at some point.

Stevenson, Sugar Cane, Barbour, 3sixteen, Georgia Boot. Probably could’ve ditched one of the jackets today, but I’m not ready to give up any layers just yet..

Did a rough count and we're up to 40 Power Wear items. No, I don't have a problem.

@JMS I pre-ordered through him (that pair are mine :)). Not sure if he's getting extra stock but definitely worth giving him a shout mate

Friends, break out the NEW STANDARDs, we're stacking again 🫡 https://www.instagram.com/p/DG5YrZHyBpc/

I'm editing my shed! Anybody want these for price of postage? Makes more sense if you're in the uk obvs. I'm in London. THey are, obviously, really useful for establishing what year LVC products date from. I will check in but it might be quickest to email me via trynka.com

The 220A is the basic model. The 1947 and 1954 are using the XX denim (the 1930s Banner Denim created by Kurabo). It is indeed all very confusing but that's just how Warehouse works

I bought 2 pairs 2 years ago. Looks like that’s the best investment I’ve ever made.

Trumps tariffs have gone wild!

Nothing much to show on my end. These are nights and weekends only so not much heavy wear. I really like the fit and fabric though. The way I oversized them has left me with a lot of room in the hip and seat making for very comfortable cycle commuting, but being a true '50s cut they are still pretty straight through the hip which I like. I'm going longer between washes right now because of the light wear. I haven't washed at all since the start and likely won't until late March or April. We'll see how that changes as the weather warms up and it gets into motorcycle season.

Need extra wool this morning so out came the Curious Yak jumper with Tender shirt and Ooe jeans.

Been lacking on updates, but I snapped a couple of photos this weekend. Enjoying the jeans a lot so far, just not getting much sleep these days.

Before wash #2 Pocket bags are fading even faster than the denim itself!

Thanks. She’s our first dog, 20 months old now. Full size, and acting like a disobedient adolescent recently, hence the lead. But, overall she’s a very sweet girl.

Took a little vacation to Mexico and tried to wear them as much as possible even though it pushed 90 degrees Fahrenheit. But so dang glad to be home, the smog was really bad, my wife got sick, plus I was mugged by our “taxi driver”. Ugh. I sometimes forget how lovely where I live is, good clean air, good nature and nice people. Some highlights though were the whales, both humpbacks and orcas, dolphins, tasty food, good weather, nice place to stay with great sunsets, beautiful dancing, nightly fireworks and really good margaritas! word of mouth contest jeans 411S warehouse shirt duke mantee belt 3sixteen x crescent down works vest nike trail running shoes

S1003XX hemmed, washed again, and tried on. Yeah, I like these. Still mystery around what the fabric is - even wondered whether it was the same as the Signet x Warehouse contest jeans fabric. That was said to be a WW2 fabric, and had the same mustard selvedge id.

Length of what? He’s only wearing jeans in the second and fourth photos!

I was the same after Too Many Broken Hearts by Jason Donovan..

Just received the Warehouse 1082 Chino in non-wash. hate to be that guy….How much will these shrink? Lovely Blue-Grey Colour. Good fit in this state but quite long.

RIP to one of the greats

Between (graphic and blank) tees, thermals and sweats it's hard to put a number on it...I'll try to get a count for you though.

I love seeing everyone's updates! I've been lagging on posting an update on these but today was a nice day and I attached some photos. I've been wearing them pretty consistently since the start date. Not only are the jeans flattering; they're super comfortable! Probably my most comofrtable pair honestly. I always have found that achieving both hasn't been the easiest but I am loving this fit from Simone. I love the weight of them as well, especially heading into an unforgiving Texan summer. They're quite breathable and shouldn't be a pain as I power through the Texas sun. My only regret is that I wish that I had asked for a shorter inseam; I'd prefer either no cuff or a small one but that's my own fault. The cuff works fine though. Loving all the details such as the hidden selvedge IDs in the belt loop, the rivets, and all in all just the fabric itself. No washes yet.

Amazing sky this morning on my ride to work.. Last part... .. i got the runner system and the pattern finished, this is the top half, the exothermic sleeves will fit over these locators, all of the flanges have a machined outer face, so the heads can be cut off and the remnants will be machined away, the only head which needs a bit of grinding / shaping will be the small pad over the body junction.. but better safe than sorry. I've put some padding behind the flange so the head can feed through the flange and into the body, there is no reason why this bit of padding can't be part of the finished cast part.. ..there are fancy equations to calculate the modulus but in layman's (is layman an anogram of maynard?) terms, you're fitting imagined spheres into what will become the casting.. so something like this (it's actually more like a compressed tennis ball shape) the center of the largest sphere will remain hot / be the last part to cool, so this will feed the casting, the neck has a similar volume to the flange, the sphere in the exo sleeve is smaller but the sleeve should keep it equally hot.. this boring ass mofo explains it a bit better.. Thanks for the interest everyone.. so who's next to explain what they do between sufu posts..?

Haha that's a good shout... linguini laces to go with my pizza jeans

Not as exciting as Double0's story, which actually got me thinking about learning a craft at almost 30, but still fun nonetheless. Last year my wife & I built a greenhouse for our balcony. We only keep citrus in it, at the moment, might put our pomegranate in there as well one day. Since we got a share in a garden plot end of last year I got into grafting fruit trees & trimming them to keep them healthy, so this is the greenhouse with it's post winter haircut. From back left to front right: Citrumelo, Nasho-Daidai, Yuzu, Sanguinello Blood Orange, Satsuma/Mandarin hybrid (2x), Ichang-Orange & Yuzu (4x, seed-grown). This was after the harvest of our last "bloody" oranges from the big Sanguinello plant, beginning of february, seen here. Those were great, especially considering we are in a newly classified zone 8a, as of December 2024, and not 7b anymore, which get's a bit colder. Usually these are grown in zones 9b upwards, but the greenhouse & mild winter did a great job. Just had to heat it on 3-4 nights, when it got below -7 °C. With all of this, I pulled the trigger on a few rootstocks for propagating of my collection, maybe even put one in the garden plot. I got some trifoliate orange rootstock, put it near the window for a few weeks and waited for the leaves to sprout, meaning it got out of it's winter hibernation. Then yesterday after work I got out my grafting tools and tried my hand at grafting, let's hope it works out. Tried my hand at grafting 1 Citrange & 2 Yuzus, maybe I will try a cocktail-tree in the future.

Been lurking for a bit but first time posting here. Hopefully I did this right. Cheers TCB 50s / Samurai Heavy Chinos / Blundstone

My 6002W jacket at something like 4-6 months of wear. The other day I washed it for the first time since I started wearing it.
