Freewheelers 1922 506 / Andersen Andersen boatsman / Codina x Rite Stuff belt / Sugar Cane 1946 / Nicks

First repair. The chainstitching of the crotch started to come apart. Had some spare denim scraps from some Imperials.

I can concur. I’m on my 3rd set of duke denim. Mine fit way more closer to the look book pic of the guy wearing the white 0105. This pic is the first line of duke denim they released. But I am following the stereotype skater dude vibe with hoodie 😂

We are currently on holiday in the Black Forest. This is the weather forecast so I'm not going to wear jeans anytime soon 😅

No denim today. H&M, vintage Tommy Hilfiger chinos & Cons

We are in Zell. Strasbourg is an option we considered. We had the other famous local cake already

Ebbets cap, Lone Flag tee, Hollows belt, Flat Head 3003xx, 70s Chucks. One of my trademark outfits, I guess.

Estate sale items of a 40+ year Levis exec https://www.ebay.com/usr/sfcitysales?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=1dyng4nzski&sssrc=4623447&ssuid=1dyng4nzski&stype=1&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

About 14 months at two or three wears a week. Not wearing them super hard but not babying them either. Deadstock 1960s Frye boots. Minus a few popped stitches at the inside ankle these are wearing like iron. And some shots when new...

The fact that you didn’t wait four more days, and reply exactly three years later annoys me so much! 😆

Reckon l'd need one of those hydration suits from Dune before l could go out in the sun in Texas! I'm melting if 25 degrees C or hotter as it is 😅

I think it's also just where the market is right now, though personally I've already trended in the opposite direction

I don't mind baggy ass at times, but the hoodie + sneakers + overall bagginess on a tired looking old dude is a weird collision with teenager skater vibes. Baggy pants on an older gentleman can be perfectly worn with like...a cardigan etc. First and third fits can work, the other two, I can't see it.

Psssh, those are rookie numbers.

@swiss-jeansfreak @Dr_Heech Much appreciated fellas!

Went to put on my jeans (LVC 1944) for work last Monday and noticed that the crotch stitching had begun failing (that famed Levi's quality ) I slipped into my Canes instead and after work I went and raided my dad's work bench; among the boxes of nuts, bolts, screws, and nails, there was of course a box of odds and ends. After a bit of sifting I found a few copper rivets in all different sizes, the smallest looking like it would work to shore up my crotch. I used an awl to make the hole, pushed the post through, put the head on, and used a pair of pliers and a hammer to secure it in place (couldn't find a setter so I made do.) A pair of snips removed the excess post, and I hammered it flat.

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.

^^ Augustus Gloop!

This is on my list of places to visit, lots of my family roots from here (like a million other Americans I guess).

The jacket is great and stiff as raw (it‘s one washed/rinsed). The denim is pretty hairy: I guess it‘ll be more hairy after washing or soaking. I'm thinking about cold soaking the jacket anyway since it's so stiff. What surprises me, however, is the way the pockets are finished inside: Or was it done that way in 1962? 😉 Anyway, fantastic jacket and besides that perfectly made. I love it!

Patented baggy ass too

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

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

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

JCrew Short Sleeve, Hollows belt, Flat Head key holder, Buzz Rickson Original Spec chinos, Wesco 7500 boots. I got sunburnted at a car show yesterday, so I look even goofier than usual, hopefully the wacky shirt distracts a bit.

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

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

Vintage (ish) Hakusan Megane T-Jerry's .. .. i think these were made for a period up to 2014? .. the version i wanted have this shaped hinge rivet ..the rivet was changed to (or from) a horizontal shaped rivet at some point after release.. There are far fewer examples with this^ shape so i'm inclined to think this was the first edition.. the person who i bought them from certainly thinks so and he has lots of At Last / Tenderloin goodies.. that said, there is conflicting infos online. Hakusan are one of the few who actually make their glasses by hand from start to finish at their shop in Shinjuku, they've been doing so since 1883. My pair had recently been returned to Hakusan for a polish and service. The difference between these and factory produced acetate frames is just night and day tiny Hakusan logo cast into the resin nose cushions, see what i mean about the level of craftsmanship ..beautifully made things @CSL .. sizes are below A- 142mm B- 120mm C- 12.5mm Frame Height- 46mm Lens Height- 39mm Lens Width- 49mm D- 140mm At Temples- 157mm E- 140mm
