Couldn’t get the lighting right… Hansen / Andersen / Sugar Canesen/ Flower Mountainsen

I was 14 in 2000 and I was all about the widest jeans possible. I think the photo is roughly then. Seeing kids these day with the same jeans feels truly bizarre. 2004-5 though I was all about basketball jerseys, timberland boots but jeans were definitely more a regular fit though probably a touch wide compared to today. I wore a raw GAP type 3 denim jacket for a lot of my university days and still have it. Has some great fades. For some reason mid 2000s I wore very tight tshirts and chunky scarfs. No idea why I thought I looked cool. Definitely did not. Trainers were always converse or Jordan 1s. Outside of the GAP jacket I wore a green addidas tracksuit jacket a lot.

Looking smart and youthfull (before parenthood) in the mid 2000s wearing an Oliver Spencer shirt (and looking at the texture, these are either) SC Okinawa's or Hawaii's

Remember a few pages back.. i was going on about when i first started my apprenticeship around 1990.. and the patternmakers / master craftsmen would arrive at work wearing a shirt and tie with a waistcoat and a jacket.. their sandwiches in a breifcase, they would take off their jacket, roll up their sleeves and pull on a smock to keep their clothing clean.. they was the last of the gentlemen master pattern makers. I just wore a check flannel and jeans.. much like i do now ..anywho, one of the last surviving master craftsmen of this generation is still alive, i haven't seen him for years because he's been caring for his wife who had dementia, he called in for a coffee on the way to a hospital appointment (i didn't really recognise him at first) i said to him.. next time you're passing, can you drop some old photos in.. which he did yesterday. He's the guy on the far left in the glasses.. this was English Steel in 1954, he was 23yrs old having just left the RAF and he's now 93.. so when i started my apprnticship in 1990 he would have been 59.. i also worked with the young chap in the middle with the dark hair.. he was 19yrs old when this was taken and still an apprentice himself, he died not long after i finished my apprenticeship.

Im blending 2 different conversations here From the year 2000.. Sarah's, Silas & Maria stylised deck jacket, it's grosgrain, alpaca linned (alpaca / acrylic blend) and made in the Eu.. It's even pleated for a 506 x N1 kinda lean.. It was bought down the lanes in Brighton for £280 in the year 2000

It’s all silver suits, bubble helmets and hoverboards around my way. 50s/60s retrofuturism is BIG. Think The Jetsons.

That hat/scarf/t-shirt look lingered on for a few years. I’d see paunchy men with beards wearing that get-up with a thin, semi-translucent white t-shirt (often with a gratuitously deep v-neck) hanging down to mid-thigh, like a minidress and their lower halves stuffed into skintight jeans (in a completely unbalanced manner). They’d usually be in a cafe with a MacBook, nursing a soy latte.

Early 2000s revival?! I thought we were all here because it’s sometime between 1920 (or 1890) and the early 1960s all day every day, and we prefer it that way. but I don’t think it works like that in recycling decades anymore, it’s more like time has collapsed and everything from all times is always happening - a fashion plurality, if you will. Thanks internet. &nbsp Yes the 90s has been a bit of the stronger thread but - at least if the kids on massive college campus near me are anything to go by - the 60s, 70s and 80s are still in style. Skinny jeans still abound even, but seem to be stuck more on professors and grad students.

He did, the SF01. One of the pairs I've been after for years!

2003 era Hawaii's Green tab, No wash, W35, £150 https://zenmarket.jp/mercariproduct.aspx?itemCode=m93793753732

Confusing. @indigoeagle Which one is the armpit to armpit measurement and which is the shoulder to shoulder measurement? thanks Here, for shits and giggles, are the visual measurements of my Og early 1960s Lee Stormrider in a size 46 Regular.

Cuffed 501 and black chucks, t shirt, hoody, blue ma1 or some type of varsity jacket. i was mostly working, in bars, clubs, restaurants, kitchens, and tattoo shop. so I wanted to look a certain way and it wouldn’t matter if things got dirty. mix of hip hop, rockabilly. Always like the rockabilly look, but it bores fast, to stuck with unwritten tools it seems to me. i notice nowadays the kids are free again to wear whatever, a few yrs back it was way more uptight

@Well27 Lots of Danish sounding brands - even SC has been Danishified

Ha yep UK. I'm really not too sure what make they were honestly but it was the one brand that I could get in Scotland that was wide enough. I would dye them black for school as they only had the light blue stonewash available. I was thinking for the scarf tshirt combo back in 2006 it was a indie band thing. Great times. Though not great fashion times...

This contingent seems to be an international phenomenon - or at least very widespread- at least in my limited experience. It exists where I live and in many places I’ve seen. For better or worse I wasn’t much different from right now. I wore the same Birkenstock Bostons or more low profile/understated skate shoes. I never wore runners casually - probably because I ran competitively and they were shoes for a specific purpose for me, always. Main difference now is I much more often wear nicer leather boots or shoes. As far as the rest of it, still jeans and a t shirt/sweatshirt most of the time - similar cuts even. I never went into the skinny thing, always hate stretch in my pants even before I knew what raw denim was. I had some corduroy Sherpa lined type 3 off by a skate brand called Matix and a twill chore from a cheap mall brand. Main differences now is the jeans are nicer, I have more jackets which are mostly denim not corduroy and (on some days) the sweats are nicer loopwheeled versions, but on many days no - and both of them have logos or designs on them much less often than used to be the case. Oh, and in the winter more wool pullovers, for sure. But again, just sort of a nicer version of what I wore 25 years ago.

Now the 90s revival is well and truly over and we move into the year 2000, fwiw... according to my DB post in the What's Next? thread . . i first noticed signs of the 80s giving way to the 90s in June 2017, so we've had a good 15yrs of this continuing rehashed nostalgia.. So.. What are you looking forward to from the coming decade?.. I know i'm keen for my vast collection of Von Dutch caps which i bought from Hip in Leeds to become fashionable again I got some spam from End last week regarding their exciting restock of terrible 2000 era sneax.. i'm sure as shit i wasn't wearing these^ in the 2000s!.. the only folks who currently do are either fucked up spice-heads who haven't bought any new shoes for 20yrs because of their battles with addiction, folks fresh outta prison or clueless 'comfort at all cost' dad types. But as the 2000s revival inevitable comes to an end in 8yrs time, and us 2009 era guys have our moment in the sun... how will this play out, will we look cool-retro, strutting our stuff with the teenagers or will we look more, land that time forgot?.. like those middleaged men you would see in 2012 wearing skintight stretch denimz.. maybe our extensive knowledge will redeem us.. "check out my rugged, heritage, denim-steeze i saw on an alarmist YouTube thumbnail" .. Well i was dressing like an urban lumberjack before you were even born.. "corse you were pops!" .. With the death of creativity and the onslaught of AI.. will this nostalgia loop ever end? .. so what's going to come after the 2010 revival.. will it be the 80s again?

Here you go https://zenmarket.jp/en/auction.aspx?itemCode=u1118749452

Because of a sick kid, we nearly cancelled our trip. Driving through whole Germany to reach the Dutch coast today. Now staying in this "tiny house" for a week.

Hm, let me remember. In the 90s it was at a time similar to now: Lee/Levis corduroy type 3s LVC jeans bought in Japan 501s, Lee jeans chinos Also Stüssy t-shirts, RL oxford and rugby shirts, Doc Martens chelsea boots, Komodo in the 2000s it was at one time lots of stuff from Energie, some Diesel shirts and jeans, Bikkemberg boots, Puma trainers, at a time also G Star and Camper boots, Massimo Osti jacket I think one jeans brand called JetSet

^ interesting that you studied that look so intently Maynard... anything you want to confess? We won't tell anyone

Seems to be the case for me, though I hang dry over night and pop them in the drier on low for 5-10 minutes in the morning for residual moisture in order to wear that day. Was hoping for more even fades, but regardless it's reflective of my lifestyle choices 😅

90s Boom! Two Heorse Brand I think these have been posted before.. Great patch tho!

Use value vs exchange value: one of the foundations of capitalism! The hyperinflated price of high fashion clothing is one of the best illustrations of this principle, I think.

plus action shot for speed drape jollies: been trying it with type 1s or surplus army: seems to be friendliest with the good ol chore…

Broke out my Encinitas after a long dormancy and just gave them a wash after working on my truck. Owned about two years I think, worn a fraction of that:

My source was not totally sure but probably he left in good terms and is probably getting the denim from Collect Mills.

Haha the loose fitting beanie hat came a few years later for me. I remember once getting into a 'fight' with this guy in a nightclub and for most of it I was trying to get my scarf off for fear of it being used to choke me! So yeah wore that daft combo in the club too. Probably deserved a punch for it

I used to see people wearing that combo with a loose fitting beanie, pushed back, flopping behind their head and would think if it’s so cold that you need a hat and big scarf, why are you only wearing a t-shirt?!

I remember it being a scarf doubled over then worn around the neck with the dangly ends threaded through the loop.. so quite a chunky arrangement under the chin.. then a tee for balance.. i suppose??

Ha! brilliant.. The best photo i've seen posted on the forum for ages 👏 I remember seeing the t-shirt and scarf look, it made it over here too, do you remember where it came from, was it worn by any bands you was listening to?.. i was always baffled by it.

I was 7 at the millennium, so I'm sure all my clothes were from Walmart and/or hand-me-downs. By the end of the 2000s, however, I had quite an impressive collection of mall-brand t-shirts in every color of the rainbow and emblazoned with giant logos, and Pumas in almost as many colors.

Dr, what a beautifully preserved 101-LJ! Thanks for posting the photos and measurements.

I notice early 90s edit, reading (or writing) not my strong point, that’s why I like pictures. in the early 90s there was a bit of a hippy revival. Maybe 90s does sixty/senty revival, mixed with 2025 silhouette.

going through the jeans I have - organizing etc and realized that these things will be around long after I am gone. I have some Levis that are 30 years old. I may last another thirty but probably not!

It was a shite ride last Sunday.. it was windy as hell so i thought i'd just do a quick loop and only took basic provisions.. because of the wind, there weren't many folks out so i was f'kin nailing it.. approaching a loose rocky section in the center of the trail, i tried to ride up the bermed edges towards the outside lip where folks have walked over the years rather than walking over stones.. these sections are only 8-10" wide, you can nail it if you stay on these sections.. but if you go too fast over this slalom course .. your brain can't figure out your route in time for you to react.. my tyre lost traction and slid down the berm into the stones which threw me off the bike.. Ouch! The younger me would have been fine but i think your brain has a better ability to compute quickly incoming trail info when you're younger and give you those crucial miliseconds you need to figure out what you're going to do. I scrapped my frame, my rear derailleur, my knee is all cut up.. somehow my phone in my pocket managed to survive.. i've done more damage to this frame in the last week than the previous owner did over 25yrs The worse was yet to come when i realised i had a front tyre puncture.. like all bike-nerds i always register the tyre branding centrally to the valve but the impact and loss of air was such that it's dragged the tyre around the rim.. ut-oh.. this doesn't look good .. the innertube was toast so i had to push home from Fox House.. back up through Burbage.. walking the section from Burbage all the way to Ringinglow village without any footpath .. it was just f'kin hideous.. culvert on one side.. walking for miles through waist high mother-die and nettles.. cars zooming past within inches.. all the time pushing my bike and trying to elevate the front wheel... it took me 2.5hrs! Today was a little better, albeit..he weather was changable to say the least.. Set off in the sunshine.. f'kin soaked before i even got to Burbage S&M Bikes / Woolpower Pan0rama (click on it) This is a charming little hamlet just outside Hope.. I was looking for the 'Intrepid Brewing Company' Chocolate boxy ..staying out of the rain in Edale Ominous Mam Tor ..had to hide in Odin's Cave to avoid the rain ..back to Hope.. arse wet af because of the spray Up Fiddler's Elbow.. the very worst climb at the end of a very long day.. even by Peak District standards i had to push up the mid section.. i may or may not have shed a tear, it was hard to tell in the rain.. the only thing that saved me was 'Believe Soldiers of Twilight the Martin Solveig Vocal Dub'.. was this one of yours @Maynard Friedman ?.. my god what a fkin tune!.. it got me back peddaling with nothing in the tank ..I'm just having a well deserved beer.. featuring PE beer mat

Bumping this down to $200 shipped! Also letting go of a YM Factory Closed Front Jumper size 42, from 2020. Looking for $120 shipped Based on original Levi’s model, a 10oz denim with natural beige weft and produced entirely on vintage sewing equipment Cold washed once and worn a handful of times but been in storage last few years. Very soft denim, and no real fading to start other than as pictured on cuff and one random slub on the sleeve

Room 402 & Co. There’s a WW2 Type 2 available too.

silhouette, pocket layout, 3d collar and fabric choice. most of all i’d say no design changes that dilute it compared to the gt version. no stupid silver zips like on the j1we, not to mention its j47a and not j47w.

Love this 🤣

My pair of 1937s. Denim is very irregular. Patch is way different from the fake one

Warehouse 800xx in 32, I believe they were about 81-82cm in the waist and shrunk down to 74 stretched back out to 80 in one day. I wore many slim straight pairs, Fullcount 1108, iron heart 666, flathead 3009, pbj, momotaro etc, they all stretched and sagged below my hips. These are really nice because the high rise allows my belt to sit above my hips and prevents any sagging. the denim is very rough and uncomfortable compared to the nice Zimbabwe cotton in other brands, I’m eager to break these things in hard like my flatheads. I’m going to avoid putting my cell phone and wallet in the rear pockets as it seems to promote too much stretching in the seat of the jeans.

Got these wide straight Oni's 200ZR back in 2023, made from 21oz secret denim with that special green cast. they already were soft from the start and became softer even more after one or two washes. I wore em through winter almost everyday until now and love the fact that they still evolve beautiful honeycombs though being already washed and super comfy.

One of my favs

Probably my favorite pair along with the warehouse 800. Seriously considering getting another just to stockpile.

Another wash
