Waiting for mum last one has the truest colour (indoors)

Even though this is a SC denim thread, this isn’t denim, so please bear with me. (We don’t have a SC other stuff thread. I checked) But the development of this indigo madras from them too good not to share. It was quite dark blue when I bought it about a year ago.

Didn’t purchase much in recent times but this bucket hat in brown chambray is much more functional than I assumed it would be. And beautiful fabric. Looking forward to the puckering of the stitches in the future.

This really made me think of your adventures @Double 0 Soul . In a good way of course. That is to say - I’m jealous of the guy and of your biking/camping adventures 😊

Speaking of god grifters.. i watched Marjoe yesterday, this is a great docu, it was lost for years.. The story of Marjoe Gortner, born into an evangelical family and preaching prosperity gospel since the age of 4.. obviously trained by his parents, he always knew he was a false prophet (arn't they all) but felt he was offering therapy.. coming to a crossroads in his life after hooking up with the California counter culture.. the film is a little exploitative but it was the 70s Same old story.. even after folks find out he's fake.. most still believe he's the real deal (it's the devil playing tricks on us) like the cult of modern politics.. even when folks are proven to be corrupt.. few will leave, most will stay faithful to the cause.

You're here now.. that's the main thing! It's the transition i find interesting.. at some point we've all decided to start buying very nice pants for some reason?. I'm a little older so my skateboarding years were the mid 90s.. a little film here put out by our local skate store (no sound first 5mins) **It's lovely to see our city center back in the 90s^ .. Aw Sheffield ❤️ Around this period, i was dressed the same as these^ guys in baggy pants and hoody which nowadays is just another generic youth look but in the mid 90s, it was mainly skaters who dressed this way.. Walking through the city there would be a congregation of goths like a sea of black on the city hall steps.. the grunge kids in their misshapen knitwear and converse, the Indy / Leadmill kids, the club kids flyer-ing outside Warp or the normies shopping on the highstreet.. it wasn't difficult to see how folks aligned themselves. **nowadays the city center is a fucking disgrace, all the shops have closed down, the ones that are left open are swarming with security, it's mainly vape shops, phone shops, charity shops and Greggs.. nobody seems to be employed, begging, spice-zombies, god-grifters.. the end is nigh types, "repent your sins!" .. Deliveroo riders carelessly nailing it through pedestrianised areas while folks run for their lives.. half of all folks are not speaking English, there is no integration, piss-heads fighting or puking, waiting for Wetherspoons to open.. folks with clipboards accosting you for money, toothless meth-heads selling stolen dogs.. 1000s of homeless people, sleeping bags and cardboard stuffed into every doorway, the backstreets stink of shit and urine, i used to laugh at the level of deprivation when i would go to Goole or Castleford.. "what the fuck has happened here" but now Sheff is far worse.. even the Cash Converters closed down.. that's how deprived the city is. Sheffield city council are spending millions redeveloping it which seems pointless when nobody has any money to spend.. i'd rather see a response similar to The Return Of The Living Dead where they just fucking nuke it!

00-10 were my skateboarding years. Geoff Rowley was my idol. I had a pair some tight Levi’s and a blue Nike hoody and that’s about all I wore from I think 02 to 05 when they turned into dust. Also had some type of fake baggy jeans with a skater boy embroidered logo. I think they were called X Boy. Oh and canvas belt the length of an anaconda snake. Shoes were mostly Globe /Circa/ DC whichever skating brand was on sale at the skate shops at the time as they would become unwearable within 6-7 months. I miss non of that clothing if I’m being honest haha.

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.

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

Here are my pair of 555 (Valencia St) May 1999 20s 201a. Had them since new. Very well worn.

Some pics of my 50s as I mentioned them in the Denim Blunders thread and realised I hadn't shared before.

I’ve been curious about these for a while. Do these use the Original Madras Trading Company madras fabric? My understanding is that most all madras fabric in the market comes from them I’ve been on a madras kick lately. I would have more but I’m very particular about patterns and try to avoid the overtly 80s preppy colors. The SC ones are mostly to my taste.

"Don't drink anymore than 3/4s of a bottle" Jeeze.. I'd have to go get my stomach pumped

I first visited Sheffield in the late 80s and that’s how it seemed to me back then! 😆

Does anyone know what this release from PBJ is called? I know it's one of their AI hank dyed series, however I can't recall which one.

Can anyone help me track down a Warehouse 4104 “Crows Nest” short sleeve sweater. Im looking for the Cream colour or possibly Green. Size XL(42) I’ve exhausted my usual searches - Bears, Take off. Union etc. any help appreciated.

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

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

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

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.

@Double 0 Soul that’s some serious wear Here is a post-wash photo of my DSB 47 Color could never be captured by my cellphone It’s got a very mild green cast going on in natural light

Letting go of a pair of NWT Warehouse 1002 (WWII Lee Cowboy Pants) size 34 Picked up from S&S for $300 back in 2022, but haven’t gotten around to wearing. Raw measurements: Waist - 35” Rise - 13.65” Inseam - 34” Looking for $240 shipped in the US, overseas message me and we can work something out

Heres my 1953 LVC type II at about 8 months. still raw. Size XL. Marked 44 on the label. The Japanese denim is very similar to the fuzzy denim like my 1955 501 cone. The color and texture are very close to the 50s LVC Cone denim. I think Levis still has XXL (48) also.

Some Japanese made Japanese denim 1937 501s. New last Nov. A couple of cold soaks and a lot of wear. 36/34

Got up this morning and Leonard had made a new friend ..made some coffee WH 506 drying on the line after it's annual wash ..rode up to Burbage ..stopped for a drink, wearing Odd Future Vans ..rode to The Surprise View ..this is where Porsche drivers plummet to their deaths.. y'know, not paying attention, singing along to Maroon 5 on the radio.. just picked the wife up from her bi-monthly session of lip fillers and anal bleaching, rushing to get to the golf club for a Cinzano.. when all of a suden "Surprise!" and you're off the cliff.. and here's you thinking Sheffield's only contribution to society was steel and synth-pop ..it's actually just over the border in Derbyshire but that doesn't quite fit my narative. ..can you spot the chalked out routes? .. Empty Rubicon can came in handy / Keeping Britain Tidy ..Rode through Hathersage to Hope and stopped to drink my coffee at The Adventure Cafe.. my bike was far too cool and aloof to mix with the others. ..lovely oak gate on the way to Edale Edale ..in the foothills of Kinder Scout ..up the back of Mam Tor ..down t'other side ..broken road 😍 ..home pottery in Castleton selling hand made ceramics ..Lady Cannings on the way home ..and when i got home after a 5.5hr ride feeling absolutely exhaused, my wonderful offspring had bought me a big bottle of Lychee Mogu Mogu ..the worlds greatest non-alchoholic drink

Had to get dressed up fancy, recently, for the first time in years, and took it as an excuse to finally try out Django Atour. Picked up linen trousers & shirt and a lovely striped cotton vest. Also grabbed a matching jacket which ended up being quite a bit too small (oh well) and a pair of linen pajama pants that I’ve been wearing most evenings. All the pieces are super cool. Both pants were cut long and serged but left un-hemmed, which I really appreciated as a taller guy. The fabrics are great. The designs and patterns are really well considered, and a few of the details make it seem like they pulled out all the stops during construction (not a big surprise, at the price). Happy to take more photos or give more detailed descriptions on request, as always. Anyway, didn’t actually get any full body photos, but I’m sure I’ll put the outfit back on eventually for something or other and do a better photoshoot. Was paired with MOTO derbies in black shell, and a great vintage bolo. Here’s the one selfie I did take:
