pre-ramadan visit to dad's grave while nursing a hangover. wearing 13-year-old fc 1108, band tee, karhu ikoni trail. the band

Received my pair of Russell Fishing Oxfords last week, these were done in collaboration with Stitchdown. I now understand why people say that these are some of the most comfortable shoes/boots that they own.

Okay, last time I’ll spam this thread until these get some significant wear. I did a second wash and got a touch more shrink as hoped for: Waist: 17" / 43 cm Front rise: 13" / 33 cm Rear rise: 16.5" / 42 cm Hip (7.5 cm up from crotch seam): 22.5" / 57 cm Thigh: 12.5" / 31.5 cm Mid-thigh (10 cm below crotch seam): 11.25" / 28 cm Knee (34 cm below crotch seam): 9.25" / 23.5 cm Hem: 8.5" / 22 cm Inseam: 33.75" / 85.5 cm Final pics: I’m a sucker for good leg twist: And a couple of not great fit pics: Parting shot:

Damasko, SDA shirt, Tender cross weave denim pants…

Why nobody wants a 80s pair? Last redline

As promised: I've since jumped in head-first and did this: I think the fit is pretty good and I'm happy with it, and I'm stoked to start to work these into the rotation.

Hopefully not getting too off-topic with a couple of non-denim outfits. RH photo RRL shirt, MF jacket, Paraboot, pants & tie vintage. LH photo vintage suit, hat, tie. Paraboot again, shirt is Thomas Pink.

wh, tender, tender

@Alec Leamas theres an entire photoshoot of these guys. I think it’s taken from Life? Black Ivy will probably have better references.

New chinos to replace my Dickies. Phigvel Officer pants in regular.

Haha I deffo would because it looks great but it's too snug for me!!! That's the only reason I sold it

^ Are you thinking of buying it back @MJF9? 😆

A small amount of heel slippage, but I feel like they're settling in with wear.

@Broark They look very comfy and well made. No heel slippage?

bump + price drop

Thanks! I think there's about a year and a half's worth of solid wear in it, maybe a bit more

I have a pair of JMM glasses that I want to unload since I don't really wear them. Comes with original box, inserts, cleaning cloth, case, and lenses. These are originally glasses so the lenses are clear. BIN: $400 shipped

Selling my At Last & Co lot 147 jacket. Originally bought from @MJF9. Love this jacket, but I've transitioned out of the vintage cuts for now... Great condition. a few of the threads in the pleads have gone, as seen in the photos. measurements: 59 cm p2p 58 cm back length 50 cm in shoulders 60 cm shoulder to cuff Tagged 44. Feel free to enquire. Asking 225 Eur. Ships out of Denmark

No mystery. The reason is that by 1980, for most vintage denim enthusiasts, the denim and details on vintage examples (which are then repro'd) are pretty much 'meh'. And the lvc version is a good example of why: bland and boring at best.

Tut tut young man, Bruce is wearing s pair of Big E's in this iconic shot 😁

i'm in if it's a cut that isn't slim

Lot 224 on my business partner, he's 6'1 about 160lbs. Post soak size 32.

They are comparable to P14 with the higher rise and overall fit and P9 with the pockets. The cargo pockets are helpful for small/flat items, but you trade capacity and comfort while loaded for a cleaner silhouette. They are nice to have as back-up storage though.

SOLD J46-S, Black, M, heavy patina but no structural issues, comes with forcelock but no logo tape or bag/spec, $470++

How can they be tight if they’re baggy? Extreme sizing down?

Before my initial soak/wash I decided to pull out the SLR and grab some photos. Trying to photograph the character of the denim is hard! Warehouse S10001XX(1000XX) DSB 1946 model. I'll post post wash pics and pre/post measurements when they dry... and we'll see if I work up the nerve to pick the arcs or not...

Our landlord sent me a text to deal with the tall grass in our yard. He never mentioned how.

thank you; good to be back! haven’t been posting as been lured by the call of the actually water proof and effecient warmth-to-weight ratio: charity shopped musto and folk wool-fleece as evidence… (gorpxyachtcore) back to spring back to denims: think have found a good partner to the tcb 40s jacket: tender 125 (‘achilles’ over-dye: natural indigo not woad methinks)

Denime - Denime - Denime - Duke Mantee - Chucks

I think, the confustion stems from the following. One assumes, that 66 model refers to Levis 501XX made in the year 1966 as a blue print. Howeve it seems, that the definition is that the 501s produced from 1973 to 1980 are referred to as “66”. The name comes from the fact that “© 1966” was printed on the flasher. The 66 model is again subdivided into first half and second half models. Same same, but different is the Big E- model. This refers to the 501s produced from the late 1960s to 1973. After the Big E the red tab showed “LeVI’S”. Also the lot number was changed from “501XX” to “501”. According to this Japanese Denim somelier "mtk0058" among others the v stitch at the top button was used until 1969 and the parallel stitch from 1969/1970 onwards. There were also changes in the arcuate stitch colours and a switch from from back pocket hidden rivets to bartacking. So, I guess, when a 66 model is offered it can be one with Big E, first half 66 and second half 66 characteristics. And the cuts were probably also changing over the years. Clearest would probably be the following three models: 1. Big E with parallel stitches 1969-1973 2. 66 first half model and 3. 66 second half model There are probably other theories about this. But this is the info I had found on the insta of mtk0058 and in this article.

The thunderbird design is getting popular - albeit each has been subtly different (jewels, studs and layout) - so Tyler Bryant (of the Shakedown fame) has another: Wickett & Craig harness with nickel plated brass and antique brass hardware; His wife Rebecca (along with her sister) is one half of Larkin Poe who won a Grammy for their album Blood Harmony, so a belt for her: Wickett & Craig bridle with a big ol’ western buckle set and antique nickel hardware;

What about the lovechild of Sean Penn and Gary Oldman in the 3rd photo? Is he an LVC model, a late 19th century futurist or a mid-20th century dude in an old jacket?

..a little 003 update low res crappy old phone shots tho ..cor, grimey ..they were coated in clay and soil from the garden, i gave them a 40°C wash which still left them with brown streaks so i gave them another 60°C wash to 'clean' them which has improved the patch ..being McCoy's i can hear stitches popping eveytime i sit down or bend over to pick something up.. ..the only thing holding the pockets on is the repairs i did when they were a few months old.. RMC stitching has long since disintegrated ..hems
