Through a second proper wash. They're doing what jeans do. I was surprised when people initially said these were fast faders. I certainly haven't experienced that. Interesting to see how that opinion has shifted. I'd put them in the neither fast nor slow, but just normal jeans in that regard. In fact, that's what I love about this pair so much. It's just a standard, no frills '50s straight that I oversized for fit. They're fading that way too. We're about to head out to Vegas, Zion, Grand Canyon, Route 66 and back to Vegas on a motorcycle trip next week. Should be fun to see how the road wear through the desert affects them. For now, here's some post-wash photos in the best light I've been able to get lately, admittedly not good. Haha.

Long time no post.. I’ve had these jeans for five years now. Just done their first repair. LVC 1955 Cone denim. The repair is almost invisible 570 wears. 16 washes. First wash at 175 wears.

@Maynard Friedman It seems you’ve got the gist of it Seafood*, sausage, potatoes, and veggies go in a pot on a propane burner and boil for a while with heavy seasoning, then get dumped out on a big table (often on butcher paper, as here) where everyone gathers and eats with their hands * In the South, shellfish is common, usually prawns and crawfish (crab if you’ve got good friends); the sausage is hot links or andouille; the seasoning is Zatarain’s Crab Boil or Old Bay, or a mix. I know that folks in the Midwest do seafood boils with whitefish. This was the Southern kind. The foreground looks light on seafood ‘cause the pot got dumped from one end of the table to the other, and I guess shrimp is less dense than potatoes

I'm not Julian but I'm pretty familiar with crawfish / seafood boils, essentially everything gets thrown into a big pot (usually outdoors) and boiled for a few hours. When everything is done they'll pour it out on a table covered in butcher paper (or news paper) and you can just come by and fill up a plate. It's definitely a southern thing (to my knowledge) and usually used as a good excuse to stand around and drink for a few hours while you hang out.

Weather was just too nice to pass up.. Traveling light so strapped a rollmat to my bike.. using one SimWorks strap and one vintage 70s Snakebelt because someone (who will remain nameless) only bought one strap Not great for the knees but i was only going a couple of miles up the road.. Sun setting over the Burbage valley Looks like a nice spot.. last time i camped here, it was during the beast from the east.. Only had space for a couple of beers but i had a few mushrooms i picked in the autumn S&M Bikes, Chucks, Vintage Champion, Supreme Work Shorts and PHD down vest which doubled as my pillow Goodnight bike.. goodnight denim people..

Been after these for some time now, finally caught the restock. Timeworn Clothing / Butcher Products deck sneakers, compared to the terrible US Rubber Co. ones I got a few years back these feel great. I really like the sneakers from TWC and appreciate that they make them up to size US12! I like their clothes too but sometimes it's a little too cosplay for me.

Thanks for the info gents, sounds like a good idea to me. There are some green things in there that look like cabbages and I’m sure there’s a banana too!

I've got the Birmingham Half Marathon tomorrow and today was the Kids mini marathon event at Alexander Stadium. My youngest first running event. Obviously in a Darth Vader onesie cuz its May the 4th..

Picked up a pair of 992s, seems like New Balance is going heavier on this model this year. Quite comfy, might get the core grey model eventually as well.

Of course, I see now, had the scale completely wrong! 😑

The cabbages are Brussels sprouts (not standard, but delicious); the bananas are lemon halves (absolutely essential)

Well done @Geeman! Did you specifically request your year of birth as your race number?

I use Express VPN for some time now, overall great experience.

@CSLthank you for the kind words

I’m not ‘bike packing’ as such so I have no bike luggage, just this small 13l hike/bike daypack.. https://www.sim.works/products/chips-bag-13l?srsltid=AfmBOopyy3VLlLzF2XprK4U4iw-ztV_B6TUMqUlMNYm3FXSO_gfst_wH It’s only just big enough to hold a single season down bag, tarp and the pole ..which is all I need for a single nights camp without food.. my rides are usually 60% road, 30% trail and 10% climbing up rocks with the bike on my shoulder, thankfully the bike is light af.. but it would be impossible to shoulder the bike laden down with luggage. If I sized up to something large enough to carry the mat, it would be a 40- 50l alpine pack.. way too big for a single nights camp but I might try using the bungees on the Chips Bag to hold the mat if I go further afield.

Quick trip to Paso Robles and Santa Barbara. Crappy pic due to the sun being in my eyes.

Enjoying a rest and a brew at work, uh oh looks like a hole is going to form on my front pocket Only washed these the other day And back down stairs to graft a few hours more…

I feel the same about them. Doing 1:1 repros is nothing new and TCB for example made their WW2 models apparently very close to the originals they had their hands on. Still I vastly prefer these SCSC models. Something just feels more right.

Recently I checked out the Denime 220XX-47 in person to get a feel for this new direction Denime/warehouse is going. They are fine jeans, I'll give them that and I don't want to discredit them. But they are not really Denime anymore. All the designs, the denim and everything just feels like Warehouse. It's just the patch, tab and hardware saying Denime and that's it. I like Warehouse as a brand, don't get me wrong. They just don't create the "I wanna buy them"-feel. This strengthens my initial opinion to let go of the new Denime. I will probably continue to look for some vintega/deadstock old Denime but that's it then.

Thank you so much, both! Actually, I'm going to continue making jeans in the UK for the foreseeable future- it's the seasonal things that will be coming through made in the US. I have a lot of denim fabric in stock in England, and this way I can keep repeat orders of jeans going there while doing the more hands-on stuff here. It's all still shaking out, but I really appreciate the enthusiasm. Michael, best of luck with the move, and AlienToy indeed! I'm very excited to be starting up with Today- they seem to be lovely people and it's a great store. I mentioned this in the newsletter too, but how's this for a beautiful colour?! purple logwood on very fine yarn cotton Mackintosh:

We're getting some mild Spring-like weather which can be a rarity around here, so I'm taking the opportunity to do a few chores around our patch. Trees were long overdue for a trim so I've had to be ruthless. That's hard for me as I'm one of those hippies that feels the trimming causes pain to the tree. I've used the tractor to push away the trimmings, and do a bit of mowing too as the foxtails are starting to sprout. Met a gopher snake soaking up the heat from the pebbles.
