Warehouse 1003XX before hitting the bin due to multiple crotch and pocket bag blowouts. Outdoors in sunlight

Okinawas before hitting the bin due to too many ongoing repairs. I bought these in 2015 and had them tapered, which I came to regret as I think the tailor made them too narrow and didn’t do a great job, so they were relegated to dog walking duties, etc.

Warrens - hemmed and ready for action!

Back for the first time in a VERY long time.. A mix of some good shit and some bad shit over the past few days. Just getting back to it..

A better shot of the “Utility Pocket Denim Blouse”. I actually really like it. I’m not a fan of the extra fabric between the utility fabric and the hem but it is what it is. As much as I love Type I and Type II jackets, I do find the pockets very limiting. The modern addition of hand warmer pockets to Type I and II jackets is a travesty of form, fit, and function, so I like this middle ground that Sugar Cane found.

Quick outdoor snap in a sunny spot

For @beautiful_FrEaK - seems real enough to me 🐍

It's so lovely to see these again! I'll play, here is the pair I'm wearing today. It's actually a Frankenstein pair from pieces left over after a batch: blue fronts with black sides. They were all made by the same person, but the first few runs were made through a middleman, who eventually just introduced me to the maker and left us to it (complicated, small quantities, different priorities from normal customers haha)

Good to have you back @MasonAlexander, fits looking solid as ever Summer’s early here; it’s been in the 80s (closer to 90 today) and sunny Union Special / Feaw Handcraft / Bubo / Roy / MOTO

I bought them in early 2021 from Yahoo auctions, here they are new (after having arcs removed). They have the same cream/burgundy patch as the cotton/linen 800s.

A beautiful pair right here, Toyko model deadstock: https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/special/order/confirm/https%3A%2F%2Fjp.mercari.com%2Fitem%2Fm84829266843/13_1/

from the first batch with almost no ear clip. was it from a different maker (cmiiw) to the later batches @rodeo bill?

XX-post Lot DD-2001 (Banner Denim) • WH S1001XX(1946) (orange selvedge WWII Denim)

I grabbed this shirt a week or two ago. Really like it. Got a couple of older shirts from them like this and this season's have larger pockets, and really nicely placed. Pearlescent buttons are pretty sweet too. These shots were pre-wash - it has shrunk a bit after washing but I went gently with a 30 degree wash, should be okay I think. Lovely bit of sufu image flipping too! 😂

It was posted to their Instagram with no preview of the back. You can see from this denim shot that it is a cinch back. The denim looks very interesting.

Now the tapered jeans thing has passed, I bet there is a lot of ‘tapering regret’ out there.. like that Denimbro tattoo I had done.. it’s a shame because they look fabulous otherwise. Didn’t you have a pair of LVC done too? My python patch was def real, you could pick out individual scales with tweezers

1942 with the "old" WWII denim?

Golden Spike jacket from about 5 years ago On / off wear over the years... notably, I've worn it when I'm away with work... hence the backpack-shaped fading over the shoulders and on the lower back Never washed and I know the shrinkage is minimal at 30C as I've got the matching trousers that comprise the 'wabash tracksuit', as the kids named it. Might wash it this summer. As @Duke Mantee has said before, FW have got a bang on wabash game going on

Union Special / Feaw Handcraft / Tezomeya / Tender Co. x2 / Russell

Evolution of the 0105. New/unworn storage pair -> washed once, worn on/off for a year -> worn regularly, washed regularly.

This tracks. My build is similar but shorter (5'8", 40.5" chest, 30" waist) and smalls from western brands are the norm for me, and they're all more roomy than a medium and similar to a large from say, Two Moons. My prob is even most smalls are too long for wear with a denim jacket =(

I had some Momotaro 0901s tapered at the same time and place as those Okis and was much happier with them. I also had some LVC 37s done at the Levi’s store in Regent St, which were OK but I never really liked the denim so binned them in the end. But no more messin’ with nature! 🤣

Outstanding pair @Maynard Friedman! I still have my doubt the snakeskin patch on my pair is real as it looks so artificla.

Don’t normally pay attention to fashion YouTube but thought this one on women’s raw denim was very good and at the end lists most of the available options including the sufu approved TCB, Brycelands, etc.

Thanks @youngofthesoonest If you pause the video super-fast I've got one of those^ card holders Greenline selvedge, chambray lining. They're made by Sugarcane for Cool Begin the Japanese treasure hunt guide / good life bible They're released to celebrate the magazine anniversaries.. it was first published in 1988 so there has been few different ones over the years.. always the same denim wallet, with a different 'SC X Begin' patch.

I found IG pretty good for searching other people's denim. For example when i was deciding on Resolute few years back searching gave me a much better idea of how the denim fades and ages as there's so many examples from over the years on IG. There wasn't many examples on reddit and even on here obv the info is obv better but not as many photos and more tine consuming to use being the old style forum. I guess you can still search on Google image but it's not quite the same. But yeah not worth the mindless scrolling and if it's on my phone I'll go on it so removed completely. Old IG was great but then they tried to replicate Tikktok (which I've never used) and focus too much on video shorts. It's addictive enough to make you log on but 99% time not worth the time.

TCB 50s, vintage sweat, Uniqlo & Cons

I completely agree with this. The sole reason I still have IG is to message Japanese retailers and I have a Facebook account for marketplace. Both are very inactive aside from that. Feels like day one million of not browsing for clothes at different websites. Still finding myself reaching for my phone and laying it down a second later when realizing I don’t have a reason to pick it up. Wearing more of the same today. Punctuation/ tcb jeans/ Jim Green the jacket is battledress repro from some guy on IG that was called workandwar. I bought it like 6 years ago. I’ve never seen anyone else wearing it. The fabric is deadstock Japanese chambray from the 50s, and the fit is weird at times (being true to vintage) but I like it a lot anyways. I always wear it in March and April.

Mostly vintage other than Paraboot and custom made shirt from the early 90s. Jacket is Pendleton.

Lot 1002 DSB 47

For me yea. I had a size 29 in the 0105 SS, after wearing it for like, 3 hours, the waist was notably stretched out and the whole top block fit larger and a lot sloppier than my size 30 0105 in the regular denim. I like me some baggy saggy pants sometimes, but I want denim to have a little bit of shape. I ended up selling off all my FC though, that brand was biggest regret in my denim buying escapades personally. It's nice enough but none of it really clicked for me.

TCB 50s jacket has just arrived from Denimio. Took under a week to the UK so pretty chuffed. I've been looking to get myself a type 2 or 1 jacket for a while now and decided to go with TCB as they are my favourite brand. And having the 50s jeans already I knew I loved the fabric. Here's some photos of the jacket with my 50s jeans. Also took a photo of my other denim jacket GAP 20 years old now. Not sure why it took me so long to get a repro jacket. Probably my attachment to the GAP jacket and also just being more obsessed with jeans I guess. This is obviously the indigo dyed tab but I really like it. More low key and I actually went for a size 48 (usually a large) as I'll be wearing mostly with jumpers ect. The measurements are very similar to my old jacket apart from being more cropped.
