About 4 months of wear in my SOA03 with washes each month

It feels cold back here in the UK so i wore a pair of jeans for the first time in ages.. Hakusan Orgueil Sack Coat Dapper's Indigo Dot Devi's TMC Railman

I’m around 2017–2018, I had some pretty bad experiences with a pair (actually, with two pairs) of the RARE R008 jeans that left me with a nasty taste in my mouth, but I always really wanted to like Big John and to believe that I’d just gotten unlucky. Anyway, I’m finally giving them another try. They recently released a slew of things in a duck and a chino both made fully from Sally Fox’s naturally colored cotton. I’ve probably posted about it before, but: Although I’ve never actually met Sally, her main plot of land is right next to the farm that I worked for through a lot of my 20s, in a great Northern California Valley that I hold close to home—so, even beyond its intrinsic coolness factor, I’ve always been really drawn to everything I see that’s made from her cotton. These are the XX801S (41) “XX EXTRA CHINOS TROUSER CLASSIC”. I bought them from joenet.co.jp, which I’d never heard of before, but who were very helpful over email and were quick to ship. (The Big John web store does offer direct international shipping, but with an egregious markup.) They’re a true wide–straight fit, and I’m expecting to need to take around 2” off the hems unless they shrink quite a bit—they’re in the wash now, so we’ll see soon. Here’s the initial fit, feat. Tezomeya tee + Town View mocs

Washed my 1880s and 1890s. Obvs I've posted the 1880s a lot here - the last new Cone denim design, natural indigo grown in Nashville. Thye are fabulous. What we love with denim is now different jeans wear in differently. These crock a lot - but the areas without wear retain their colour. These have had a lot of wear, maybe 18 months of summers. Marbling at the back of the legs is lovely, I will post a pic when I can. The 1890s (left on the dual pic) are Kurabo, the jeans are posted as new right at the beginning of this thread. Kurabo's version of the early fabric is very green. I like that too but it doesn't have the micro texture of the Cone. These were really hard to wear in, almost no crocking with wear. THey are now my main summer jeans as I can't bear to retire my 1880s, which have now those little loose threads that signals that heavy repairs will soon be needed.

Really love these fits put out by Fullcount recently. Particularly the Type 1 and 0105 worn together both in super smooth

Sold the FOB jacket…I wasn't happy with the fit, even though I think the jacket and its quality are great. I bought a Sugar Cane 1962 instead and couldn't be happier with it! Fits like tailored 🙂

SCSC 1942 jeans... sized up at w36, maximum cinch applied, with big f-off cuff!!

i Just cop the SDA102CB one-wash. Been asking on indonesian forum some say it shrinks a lot (even calling it “unlimited shrinkage”), while the store keeper said it won’t shrink much. A few even suggested to up 2 size from your true size. For me personally size 31 fits perfectly on the waist, while size 32 got spaces about 3 fingers. I ended up grabbing the 32 since they didn’t have a 33. Now I’m wondering… will it shrink a lot, or am I safe? What do you guys think about the shrinkage on this model?

My partner inherited my lot 501 Edo Ai a while ago, but never ended up wearing them much, I guess because of how loud they were—mostly the streaky dye job. Recently, they bleached them and overdyed with indigo, hoping to end up with a more consistent color. I’m really pleased with how they turned out: hopefully they’ll end up seeing some more wear again

How did the hakusan hold up in the Greece heat? @Double 0 Soul great fit too. Looks like a throwback a few yrs

Size down. Unless you have wide feet perhaps. I’m a 41 in Birkenstocks and I have Tender boots in 7 and 8 UK. The size 7 fits me much better.

M41057 update Planning on transitioning these from mostly climbing use to regular wear and switching in the M41059 for climbing Love the shade of blue this fabric gets to

l-j11 large great shape for its age, some signs of wear. Cool trades are welcome – LP stuff, Stotz stuff, GTB stuff, more formal pieces, or items of similar rarity/value. I am an L/XL in Tops and pants, depending on cut. I’m not ready to let it go unless it’s a truly top-tier offer. located in Germany for the sake of BIN price 3k€

OA has some interesting info on this upcoming denim on their blog as well: link here. I think this was recently being discussed in the vintage jeans thread, but they're using the linear yard measurement to calculate the weight of the fabric. Might try these out, not sure at the moment. I'd like to see some better quality photos first.

On a little music tour, me and a drummer, staying in houses of folks involved with organizing the concerts. Meanwhile at home our valley is on fire again (The Gifford Fire), it's only been about a month since the last one. The fire crews are getting a lot of work this year...

@PrettyBoyTony go with your gut. From the outside, it seems like you think you should like these jeans, but maybe you don’t - and that’s ok. You may end up wearing them regularly, but never feel comfortable in them. Don’t waste your time, just move them on and move on to and try something else. I’ve bought jeans based on how they look on someone else, and I’ve hated them. I’ve bought jeans based solely on fabric and they sat/sit in my closet. I’ve spent years wearing jeans as I liked how they faded (based on someone else’s wear) and not based around fit; they didn’t turn out great (IMO) because ultimately they didn’t fit great. So much of this is trial and error, and ultimately you’re the one wearing the jeans and you’ll know when you find a pair you want to spend time wearing - not what you think you should be spending time wearing and not looking to be convinced as to what you should be wearing. ‘Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, my opinion, man.’

I sized down two sizes for my SS's. I originally bought a 33 and then sized down once more to a 32 after the saggy butt and bunched up crotch became more apparent. As others have mentioned...if you're a shirt tucker I think the high back rise can look a little odd. I think sizing down two lost a little bit of the roominess in the legs I was looking for, but I still like the fit. If I could have the 32 waist with the 33 legs that would of been ideal for me.

This is how mine end up looking most of the time. The front sags a bit (to the point) and the back is super high. Doesn’t bother me too much when I don’t have a shirt tucked or am wearing a sweater but feels off sometimes when I tuck my shirt in. I’m also 6’1 which probably makes it more apparent. Definitely not the end of the world and still a nice fit in general but yeah, would love a more balanced rise.

Gardener outside

MRs and Junior MJF9 grew this avocado plant from seed during lockdown, making it about 5 years old. I read they can take 10 years to bear fruit. However, in the north of Engerland it might be a stretch... we'll find out in 5 years... watch this space ... (I'm no gardener but think it needs a bigger pot)

Happened to be wearing my edgiest t shirt myself yesterday. Mostly indoor house day because wildfire smoke from Canada made the outdoors not too great. pants are de bonne facture linen denim trousers, which I quite enjoy. don’t mind the slippers.

I think this is my picture spot now. Since it's hot, I don't tuck my t-shirts anymore. Gildan, buzz, boa

Started wearing these 03s more consistently. These are coming along nicely. Buttons are starting to show some rust. Pocket bags have lightening up a bit.

thanks @Le Clown Bleu- you can find some things at Goodies Oxford, Peggs & Son Brighton, and The Bureau Belfast. A couple of images of these went out in the newsletter I just sent out, but here are some more details. The best-worn pair of Weaver's Blanket Denim trews I've seen, very kindly brought in by a long-time customer and great friend of the brand. Note the twill switching at various points:

I bought these 5-6 years ago. They stayed in a drawer and rarely got worn until a year ago, where they’ve since been my daily drivers. I’d buy these again if I could.

Big enough to hold two quarts of ice cream with room to spare, and wooly enough to keep them mostly cool 😎

Thank you for this @merzbot! I want to do a superfuture-level rundown on the Working SKEWed jeans in the next week or so, but actually I just came on to show some details of the 900 Bull Denim, so good timing. This fabric is woven with a 100% cotton warp and a 50/50 wool/hemp weft. Generally speaking, dyes react differently with cellulose fibres (eg cotton, linen) and protein fibres (eg wool, silk), and even more generally speaking dyes stick better to protein than to cellulose. This can be quite subtle, for example with woad, where the blue is relatively deep across all the fibres in the fabric (with the original undyed fabric below): the khaki, particularly, took to the wool much more readily than to the cotton or hemp, creating a sort of turquoise wool fuzz over the top of a paler green cotton/hemp ground: lastly, though, here's a version which is a little more subtle, but which I'm really excited by. This is dyed hadal blue with a formula that reacts only with wool, so that the cotton and hemp remain completely undyed. It gives the effect of a fabric woven with an undyed warp and a melange fibre dyed warp, where dyed wool is spun with undyed hemp, but all with a single garment dye. The jacket reads as denim, but with the softness and lightness of the bull denim cloth.

WORKING has been landing at stockists the last few weeks. SKEWed x WORKINGWORKING PULLOVER JACKET（PINK） - The Tastemakers & Co. ONLINE SHOP TENDER STORES | WORKING SLACK JEAN This project really excites me. It's neat to the see the influence of Rob's time at Stone Island and CP Company showing in the designs. My introduction to this world came while trawling the internet in the early 2000s for 'British streetwear' and discovering Jeff Griffin Studio 😄 Of the recent Type 900 Jackets, the Turquoise and Prussian Blue are my picks. The way the olivewood buttons contrast with each shade is gorgeous!
