Sorry for the late reply, thats Kapital Socks. Rare colder weather yesterday Jackman/SugarCane 45R RDT

Was literally in the car about to head off to the airport for holiday when FedEx arrived on my street. Looks like I'll be taking these with me. Hopefully they fit 🤞

I don’t use AI for my fades, actually I roll around in my backyard - don’t bother picking up after my dogs, or trash from my home-improvement projects because the fecal matter and debris help speed up the epic fades on my raw Japanese selvedge denim. Then when I’m ready for a wash I head to the aquatic park in Berkeley for a dip. Then 2,000 deep lunges to dry them off These fades were hard earned … 200 hashtags

You could have just looked at a pair from your own collection...... Oh no forget that

1990s version of the copper king jacket they reissued with the 1943 jeans https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/special/order/confirm/https%3A%2F%2Fjp.mercari.com%2Fitem%2Fm90085840817/13_1/

Yes, it works really well. I had read, that some, I think, sociologists had postulated, that a person's name is a not insignificant factor in a person's life, for example which career they're following and so on. I was travelling and talked to a fellow guest in a guest house about this. I asked him for his first name, it was Attila or Hannibal. And it turned out, that he was a history professor. So, in way, it seems that providence decided that Mr Ueki would go into the repro business. Not many names work so well on that tab. For many years I couldn't understand, why Warhouses tab says "GENUS".

I do enjoy how Ueki's on the red tab looks like it reads something else 😅

@Double 0 Soul @beautiful_FrEaK Funny timing, TCB just posted about this on Instagram today. Couldn’t hurt to reach out & see if they’re doing another run? I still wear my No Shampoo Club shirt from that run regularly—I’ve actually got it on today. Great tees.

From the outside, a lock stitch will look identical (as well as being stronger) and a chainstitched jacket cuff isn’t going to create roping like a hem on a pair of jeans anyway. Obviously it’s your choice but if that were me, I’d take the pragmatic approach and go to a local tailor. Good luck whatever you choose.

I was looking at this Jett Rink storm rider repro recently but didn’t know anything about them. Looks good https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/auction/yahoo/input/r1141693364/

Beware guys, AI fades are incoming: I asked ChatGPT to create a picture of a pair of 2 years worn raw denim jeans.

My employer buys and requires us all to wear Carhartt B11 pants, all cotton, made entirely in Nicaragua The carabiner I’ve used for a while shredded this belt loop in just a few weeks

Found some photos of the 22501xx on the Barnstormer blog: https://ameblo.jp/barnstormer-go/entry-12791149576.html

Meanwhile, patched over the opening to the left front pocket earlier this week with fabric from the cut off hem of one of my Tender Co. shirts, dyed w/ Prussian blue. I’ve stitched over a few seams, previously, but this is the first real repair—almost always is, for me. I really love how the pocket bag denim is fading; it’s a beautiful rich blue. Plus: photos before the upcoming wash, I think no. 5 or 6?

This weekend: baking pies, moving starts to pots (pictured: Mexican sour gherkins), watching older plants grow older, keeping an eye on the dogs and on the cricket that’s been hanging around our kitchen sink for the past few weeks

The (now) annual Dad and lad weekend away in the Peak District, infamous OO Soul country Quick pit stop en-route at Porter Coffee on Sharrow Vale road - £17 for 2 butties and £1 for parking - how much! Hardly a Sheffield accent to be heard, southern tones aplenty - gentrification of S-codes? Took the WoMs for a walk around Bamford Edge... totally staged pic looking out over the Hope Valley It's a strictly carnivorous weekend - we packed 4.4kg (yes I weighed it) of ribeye, T-bone, lamb... will we get through it all is the question And a sauna to finish the day off...

Why does warehouse's tab say "GENUS" ?

Any decent tailor could detach the cuffs, shorten the sleeves and reattach them. It’s a simple job and if the thread is matched, barely noticeable, if at all.

^ The left sleeve after ~ 10 hrs. That is fast creasing 👍🏼 A little bit of „natural tailoring“ happens. I'm thinking about adding a second button to each cuff to tighten them more (similar to the waist buttons). I'll see if FOB can send me some buttons. And man, there's a lot of indigo in there. My fingers are blue 😉

Where it's really going to get weird is people taking photos of their actual jeans and then telling "AI" to enhance the fade. I could see this breaking fade competitions like Indigo Invitational (which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.) The "top fades" already look pretty fake, so it could cause some real chaos if it's hard/impossible to tell if it's "AI" enhanced or not.

Looks better than the lvc distressed stuff

@Lorcan that's a very fair price considering the blanket lining and all And the official homepage: http://www.ezcompany.jp/jettrink.html

Considering how many varieties there are^.. i'm surprised Jett Rink has slipped us by I know, it's only a matter of time before the hosting becomes unsupported.. i'm tempted to start backing it up for posterity It's too good to lose..

^ They'll come in a little bit probably, but not much. Sleeves that are a little too long are always more welcome than ones that are too short, IMO. Chances are with the factory wash and the one you did most if not all of the notable shrinkage is out. You can always roll up the sleeve a little. It's pretty rare these things are perfect compared to a tailored piece, it's sort of the charm of them for some people.

Looks wonderful MJ! It's not gentrification.. it's always been a fancy-pants neighbourhood.. back in the late Victorian period, wealthy steel barons (the finance-bros of their era) fled the pollution of the east-end seeking out the fresh air of the Peak District.. building their houses in the S10 / S11 districts.. Old photos show kids walking to school nr Sharrow Vale in top hat and tails.. even 20yrs ago, S10 was still considered one of the most affluent postcodes outside Kensington and Chelsea. Regarding the accent.. My immediate neighbours are from Hackney, Lowestoft, Belper, Devon, Sydney, Taiwan and Holland.. so not many earthy Sheffield accents there .. the lead singer of the Arctic Monkeys lived just a stones throw from where you're eating your sandwiches.. so entirely faux-Sheffield accent Sadly i'm not one of the winners from all this postcode-prosperity.. when i bought my first house.. i desperately wanted to get out of Sheff.. it was just depressing, most of my old friends had either died, been incarcerated or sectioned due to the heroin boom of the post rave years.. We could have bought the tiny house we live in now for less money than the massive barn conversion we bought out in the sticks.. When our boy came along.. he would walk to his junior school through the farm across the street, stroking lambs enroute, it was idyllic but having been to a god-awful secondary school myself, i was determined to send my kid to a great secondary.. which meant moving back into Sheff and into S10 / S11.. but after the austerity of the Cameron / Osborne years a lot of house prices stagnated, ours included.. it took us 4yrs to sell it, we had 8 viewing during that time, ..i had to drop the price by £70k to secure a sale.. Austerity had no effect on the middle-class folks of S11 which meant the house we bought had 130 viewings in the first week and i had to pay £17k over the asking price.. so i was already £87k down before we moved in .. with Sarah's health issues, she wouldn't have been able to get a mortgage so i had to use my savings to pay off the old mortgage and start a new one from scratch under my name.. which is why i'm currently at work on a Saturday afternoon.. i'm overpaying like a mofo tho!.. i'm equally determined to pay it off while i'm in my 50s ..

Check in 7.22.25. Now the heat's on I'm not wearing them as much as I'd like, but I think some evolution is evident.

No big action, just fit pics

Wash no 4 (by hand) and drying in the heat & brilliant Sun. Still wet here.

We needed some sea air and Saltburn-by-the-Sea is about the closest coastal 'resort' near us at an 80 minute drive The funicular was open again Fish n Chips (killer calorie and gut overload I now regret!) WoM 5150, FW 1937, Tezomeya, Duke belt, MiJ Cons from Gee, Mrs MJF9's Topo bag

I just couldn’t let these 30s contest jeans sit! @theguywhoknewthatguy had these listed in the sale section for a few months and thought someone else would join us, so I waited patiently. No one snapped them up! So I guess I have a 2nd pair of contest jeans-hope I’m not doing anything illegal! Cant imagine wearing them as much as my original pair, but we’ll see. #192
