  1. 2 months in the 611. These are a little contrasty due to the direct sun, but I wanted to see where the fading was coming in. Also, after a Michigan winter you stand directly in the sun when you can. Coin pocket fade is my favorite so far.

  2. I was just in Michigan for two weeks. The snowdrift on the frozen lake looks like waves of the sea, very surreal.

  3. I wanted to make myself a new bag, inspired by super fancy Ortus models. I've been using a self made ripoff of the Mimosa model, but figured I could made something less completely stolen. So I set to work. Lots of making of pictures here.

  6. My gyro fell apart yesterday and got on my pants, so it was time to give my 50s their second wash. Probably been about 3-4 months since the last one. Lap and thigh fades are really starting to pop.

  7. Where in Michigan were you? This is honestly one of my favorite times along the lake, for this very reason. I’ve been making pictures of it whenever I can the last few years. I couldn’t get there this year and was really gutted about it.

  11. Been wearing these Russell Zephyrs lots for maybe 4 months now; the lightweight nubuck / faux chamois leather picks up grease and indigo like crazy so they look a lot older (to me at least) Never thought I’d find slip-on boots to be this comfortable / useful. When I picked them up I really just wanted something fast to put on and off that had high enough shafts to be good for gardening / cold-weather car washing / whatever chores, but they stay put well enough when walking that I’ve probably ended up wearing them as my main shoes more than half the days that I’ve had them. A++ would strongly recommend

  12. Some of my favorite Union Special shirts: Got the first two (Neal Cassidy plus Foreman) from Seiichiro around 2020. Both have aged really well; I love the puckering on the Foreman, although the color on that one’s faded a little fast for my liking. Both are 50/50ish cotton/linen blends. The Neal is a little small on me now, but the Foreman still fits perfect. The contrast & colors are truest on the collar shots. Got this salt & peppery chambray Hammersmith off Yahoo in 2019 or 2020 I think. It’s probably my most-worn cotton chambray shirt from Freewheelers, although I did just pick up a lighter S&P Neal shirt (prob. the exact same one our own Neal’s got on, above) from Yahoo a few weeks ago that I’m looking forward to. Very comfortable fabric. My very favorite shirt—maybe ever—is this Rivet Gunner (the red one) that I picked up in 2022 or so. No photos that I’ve taken manage to do the fabric justice. I was ecstatic to find a second one recently (the green), not too heavily used. It just arrived in the same shipment as the S&P Neal; I still haven’t even worn it out. Bonus shot of all of the above crumpled on the table, for color reference:

  13. Sorry for the dusty mirror, I'm lazy. 1001xx in banner denim, size 31. Happy with the fit. Been realizing that I comfortably sit between a few sizes for 501 type cuts, so I've enjoyed picking up different pairs to play with that, i.e. sizing up on 66-type cuts, sizing down on 47-55 type cuts etc.

  17. Here's one for the collectors.. ..bonus Lenny photo ..it's a 35yr old deadstock Silverstone 506xx repro from 1990 ..according to 'denim legend'.. Silverstone (and subsequently Ground-Alls) went out of business because of the exacting standards of the perfectionist owners.. i don't know if this is true or denim-lore but they did go bankrupt producing an incredible repro during the golden age / largest denim-boom on the planet ..the very first cowhorn patch which has been oiled annually so it doesn't crack shirt weight denim as we would expect ..you'll not see another one of these this week, month, year.. probably ever

  27. @ASTRO I have a well-worn pair of the Duck Digger 1947 version of the 1001xx in size 31, also in Banner Denim I believe. They've been through many machine washes and dries now. I took some measurements using the Bears method (except for thigh at crotch which they don't report). I feel like they fit slimmer through the thigh and slightly wider in the waist in my experience with them than usual. I'd say that the size 31 though is roughly in the same sizing ballpark as a size 31 from Sugar Cane or a 32 from TCB. Waist (laid flat): 16.2” Thigh at crotch: 11.75” Thigh 10 cm down from crotch: 10.5” Front Rise: 11.75” Knee (eyeballed based on knee bay): 9” Leg opening: 8.25” Inseam: 31” The inseam stayed at 32" for a long time as long as I was careful to hang dry and gently tug on the hems. Once I had a baby, I lost patience for that and they shrunk to their present length (sadly much shorter than I prefer since 32" was even pushing it). They're a great pair of jeans though in great denim. Pulling them out to measure them made me want to put them on again despite their length.

  31. Rare 42 inseam 501SXX. S stood for 'Special length' in the 1940s and 1950s, later changed to 501XX SP in the early 60s, then later again to the 1501/2501 and 3501 prefixes. I've seen a 40" inseam before but never a 42. These pics courtesy of Mushroom vintage

  34. After 3 months of searching high and low for my next jacket, I finally settled on the Freewheelers 506XX 46-47. I had no qualms about sizing, thanks to the wealth of information available in the FW thread, and went with a 42. Upon arrival, I was dismayed at the fit. It felt huge ( no pre-wash fit pics, apologies😅) so I immediately threw it in the machine for a hot wash (heavy agitation) and dry, and it came out just about perfect in my opinion. According to my measurements there wasn't drastic shrinkage anywhere, but the fit feels like night and day, it's perfect now; I think I just have denim dysmorphia or something. This is without a doubt the nicest denim I own, it really puts my jeans to shame. It's so textured and lively, whereas the 3sixteen denim just looks flat and lifeless in comparison, I'm not sure if I'll be able to wear them together. I guess I may be in the market for a new pair of jeans soon.... Measurements taken with a sewing tape, garment laying flat, all pleats folded, not stretched. Note: I gave the sleeves a real good stretch before throwing it in the dryer, which could explain the lack of shrinkage compared to the body.

  36. Shame on me, this is my first update! I *LOVE* these jeans, they're flattering and comfortable. I have missed one single day since the beginning, I was sick and stayed in bed most of that day. Here's a little photo dump from the last few days. We shot a couple promo videos in a great venue in Genova, Castello Mackenzie. Rehearsals always start with coffee Our mimosa tree in full bloom right in time for international woman's day Mini hike today

  37. Lovely fades Ben, I’ve found that my best fades come over a long stretch of time. Speaking of which… I’ll take more pics soon, but here’s a peek at my Flat Head 7002W shirt, ten years after I bought it.

  40. A variation of the tote bag I made for @srudy - leftovers of the same materials (CF Stead Repello suede for the main construction , with Horween CXL straps and edge binding and crust calfskin roughout for the lining); so it’s a little bit smaller and a simpler strap arrangement Hand sewing multiple layers of such soft materials isn’t a lot of fun, especially since the suede also camouflages/detracts from the work, but I think it’s still a good bag and probably worth in the end

  41. Guess a new journey begins for me as my FW1942 tux landed a couple of days ago, although mine will remain on ice for now. All l can say about the quality of the workmanship in the products is that they surpass expectations. And the communication, service and extras (including attention to detail) from Hoosier was top notch.
