Fob Factory F198. I can’t find much information on these at all but I think they’re pre-2006. They were in a musty one-wash condition when I bought them and I’ve just given them another 40°C wash and will get them hemmed soon.

@Cold Summer @Double 0 Soul @julian-wolf truly the best fades come from hard work and frequent washing. I wear my stuff for work as a plumbing apprentice. Kneeling, crawling, crouching, climbing you name it. And it really is cool to push some of the higher end denim to the limits. Not cost effective at all. Wrangler 13MWZ last just as long and look great faded and only cost about $30 vs Freewheelers and Warehouse that are closer to $280 haha

Finally off the crutches. Ankle surgery went really well & I’m healing up quick! Devium USA Jac shirt Domestics selvedge Happy Hour shades

can't resist to get this leather aj1

Too scared to look at the price...at least a whole roll of denim in this pair.

Nicked this from Workwearyears on lg - l'm positive this is an early Lee 101J from the 30s or early 40s judging by the shape of the front pocket and some other details.

I have been on an extraneous journey to find the perfect jeans that fit my many personalities and styles. I remember have a pair dark blue tapered denim Levi’s and black slim fit true religion jeans that fit me perfect. Life took them away from and I have yet to find a pair like either, and it doesn’t help that I don’t remember the exact style of either now I’m back on the hunt. This journey has brought me me to Benzak’s B-01s and 02s and Momotaro’s wide straight. I have even venture back into time and found a pair of light washed Robin jeans.

I haven't had a chance to pick up any Tender gear yet, but this is my favorite thread on here, I love all the interesting behind the scenes action all very well explained by @rodeo bill

Yes, I believe the 2x1 was the $500 pair and the 3x1 was the $520 pair, but I may have that backwards. I’ll take a closer look to see which weave is which though.

It’s not that they feel restrictive or anything—besides the lower rise, they feel pretty similar to the SC ‘47, which have always fit me great as far as slim–straight (relative to my build) jeans go. I just generally prefer much wider and higher jeans, stylistically. After this contest, I wouldn’t be surprised if I spent a year wearing nothing but the M41027 and the M41058

say less

Anyone who is planning to go to Inspiration LA tomorrow and is in or near the OC area, I have two 2 day passes and don’t plan to attend tomorrow and am happy to give them away. Double denim waist overall pic for relevance

Fit pics with different ways of buttoning. The jacket feels smaller than the measurements suggest. But I don't plan to layer and wear denim jackets mostly in the warmer months with just a tshirt underneath.

Sorry for the multi post, forgot this one: Some nice light blue hues coming through in certain lights which is always hard to pick up on camera

Went to Scotland. Nothing to report

I was trying to hold out until the three month mark for a wash, but we went to a ren fest yesterday and got rained on. So the jeans were just too grungy. Jeans are out drying in the sun now, I'll get some post wash pictures this weekend.

The left one somehow stockX got a lower price, looks like no one want it ha ha https://sneakernews.com/2025/02/14/air-jordan-1-black-toe-reimagined-my-very-best/

Thank you! 🙂 Great photo!

$500 for the version with the machine finished button openings (labeled 1124), $520 for the hand finished ones (0425). I’m not sure which denim each was as the language barrier was something to navigate

The rest of the photos of the young lady in the WW2 jeans rolling a cigarette: And on stage wearing a type 2 style jacket:

^ that’s what the 611 was for! 😏 or maybe I just sized a bit generously? It’s funny how loose and free these feel compared to my usual pairs - aside from my sized up 132s, that is.

Thanks folks! Really pleased with how they’re wearing in so far. I do wish the cut was wider and higher, but the detailing is good and the denim is just lovely

Foreman pants Probably not really due for an update yet, but they’re the main thing I’ve been wearing when I’m not in my contest jeans and I’ve really been enjoying them Color truest in the first two shots, ‘51 601xx for reference

Lotta heat on this page. Everyone's lookin good 👍 Lee jacket Wrangler shirt DIY jeans Blundstones

After months of debating, I picked up a TCB No.2 blouse a few weeks ago. Really happy with it. Between these and my Fullcount 0105ss', I'm really loving ~11.5oz denim...it's so comfortable and wearable.

Another vintage repro, Bootleggers 1947 model from before 2005 l think? Anyway they were gifted to me by @Duke Mantee after the end of a yearly tour back in 2016 over on Denimbro. Lovely details and denim and without a doubt one of my favourite pairs out of everything denim that l own. Thanks to sufu for the photo rotation

Brooks Vantage Heritage, released in 2014 I think, although I bought this pair a couple of years later, from Brooks UK. Here’s a couple of links about them and the originals from 1976/77 here and here. I must get around to wearing these!

^ Yea I’m not gonna claim any moral high ground here. I have a pair of their skate shoes from 10 years ago or so I still kick around (I got them on clearance). But, as a company they are pretty damn odious, much like Levi’s. I don’t think, even if Levi’s made an actual perfect stitch for stitch reproduction of their vintage jeans I would be interested at this point. Maybe if they kick started White Oak to get up and running again and gave those people back their jobs I’d think about it? But probably not. But I really don’t like Nike personally because of what they did to skateboarding. Nike getting in was a big part of it changing a lot in ways that for me - drove the culture in an uninteresting direction. I appreciate some like the advancements and competitive and institutional nature their entry had a role in ushering in. I didn’t. Smaller skate shoes companies had a much better shot and even stayed somewhat solvent much more often before they entered. Basically, they had a major role in killing off or badly damaging a lot of the brands that would trigger that same nostalgia for me. Funny enough, in my teenage years, my other sport for a good while was distance running - I ran XC - but I always liked running in Asics better and set all my old (mediocre) PR’s in those. Japanese brand. Go figure.
