Speaking of black 50s

Yesterday i made a little insect house out of a spare bit of waney-edge oak.. it's like social housing for all the l'ill insects, they'll move in on a first come first served basis.. it'll elevate the neighbourhood with a more upwardly mobile class of owner occupier insect.. eventually they'll sell it on at a vastly inflated profit to a multi-occupancy household.. then due to apathy i'll fail to make anymore and the whole system will collapse, but hey, that's insecto-capitalism for ya! It had to be these sizes because 1) this was the only waney-oak i have left and 2) i'm trying to cover up a horrible bit of the neighbours wall Coated a piece of ply with mould release solution Cut some bamboo into 4" lengths .. mixed some resin ..poured it into the bottom of the insect house, using the ply to stop it running out ..dropped all the bits of bamboo into the resin and waited for it to cure Popped the ply off and they're set in resin, i didn't want to cover the bottom.. for 1) i didn't have anymore green oak and 2) the rain should run straight through.. ..ordered some long vine eyes to wire it to the wall along the same plane as my outside lights.. (which are also there to cover up the horrible bit of wall) but they were fkin garbage, they wouldn't hold an insect, ne'er mind an insect des-res so i made some out of marine grade landscaping screws, i'm holding it by hand like a proper foolhardy professional ..there we go, i'll screw them in with a hex driver and thread a keyring loop Ta-Daa! ..then today, i rode up to Stanage Edge ..up to the ridge ..had to do some rock hopping with bike on shoulder before i got back on track ..up to Stanage Pole ..down to the reservoirs at Redmires ..overflow ..to ride the loop home from here would hab]ve meant lots of boring road miles.. so i rode back up to Stanage ..around the ridge ..and stopped for a rest.. well it is Easter Sunday ..then home

Oh.. and a friend of mine had her art book published I've finally been recognised for my contribution to the arts

ACME inspired 1950s/1960s SEARS branded "Roy Rogers"? cowboy boots with decorative stitching and red white and blue "Thunderbird" inlays. A bit of a personal holy grail. Years ago in the middle of my previous vintage country/ rockabilly dive I starting seeing mid century ads for these ornate old cowboy boots from companies like Nacona, Miller, and ACME. Very common in the middle part of the 20th century due to the popularity of entertainers like Rogers and the ever present Westerns that Hollywood was churning out, these designs grabbed my attention immediately. After a few lost auctions on EvilBAY and after holding a few pairs of far too gone crumbly examples I had kinda given up hope. Good examples can go for hundreds and they were getting scarcer and scarcer. And then these fell into my lap. Showing some obvious signs of age but the leather is still robust and they are still very wearable. And the best part? They are in my exact size. 🖤 These will get a deep condition and a polish, a toppy for the soles and will only be brought out for special occasions and light duty.

You can only close the upper zipper and leave the inner zip open for easier air circulation. When wearing a bag in interops you also use the free floating part of the zip to put the strap underneath so that it stays in the correct position. It can be a bit finnicky but I like the functionality and the way it looks when closed.

They don’t need to be “sufficiently informed to know the kind of details that make such a product appeal,” they just need to be sufficiently well-off and sufficiently disinterested in clothes to see something with a big price tag and assume that since it’s expensive it must be nice

Ewwww it smells like TWC in here.

And some more pics with better lighting

Collectibles 1943 tux was waiting for me. Happy days. Bought raw so just put them both through a 40C wash. Jeans 34, jacket 46.

Of course you can also open up the jacket with the secondary torso zipper, but since that zipper is used for ventilation as well as liner access, I usually don't touch it so that the zipper head position isn't changed for when I need liner access. As such I mostly just use the collar zipper and leave the main zipper opened if I need more ventilation. Pretty handy.

Good job @Double 0 Soul - we have a few of those insect houses on one of our courses but on a grander scale - Several pallets stacked high scale, so think insect tower blocks!

acronym...

Of course. What surprises me is that there are enough people who are sufficiently informed to know the kind of details that make such a product appeal, but not sufficiently informed to know that they can get it for less than half that price elsewhere.

Try SC 1947 black. They are now available in stores (after couple of years) and I think cut is very similar...

Fading of black denim is slower than blue one. Think I will start to wear them next January. This year I am due to the Indigo invetional busy with Denime 220... I have also SC 1966. In size W33. Both cuts are completely different. 66 are generous in top block, while 47 are tighter in waist. 66 are tapered and 47 are loose straight....

They can do that as long as people will continue to pay those prices. I think they must have a private ‘most gullible customer’ contest running in conjunction with Sonofastag. Happy Easter everyone! 🐣

I sent you P45A-E invoices 3-4 times because you want to do partial payments. Who is being ridiculous here wanting to split the bill into 4. You bought the P38 after I sent you the invoice for SK30. Asking multiple images constantly. Requesting invoices and never pay for them. Dont mess up the timeline. you are a mega waste of time. Just a friendly reminder, time is precious for you as chemo doesn't always work for everyone

@MJF9 here are my 37s. Maybe I was a little too hard on them. Haha. multiple washes and trips in dryer as well as crotch reinforcement

1937 jeans... been wearing most weekdays for months... steady progress though I think reasonably stubborn (will take some pics of the 33 jacket and 22 jacket for comparison soon) Plan is to hang on until the summer then wash Really like both the fit and the denim

that's very nice of you. I'm still lurking about once a day. My life is a mess at the moment with way too much work and stress. I'm so fat that none of my old tcb jeans fit and the idea of surrender and realize I need a 38 makes me sad. I'm going to leave my job at the end of the year, move on something else more simple and get my life back. I thought I could resist with this job until I was 50, make some more good money and call it a day then. But I'm 43 now and I've been dead close to burnout for the last couple years. I may as well decide to join for the fun, as long as I like the cut. I have no time at the moment to work out details with Hajime and Ryo. Let's hope they cook up something that most will like, a Levi's based 5P model with a regular to loose fit. A copy of a specific Levi's pair they haven't covered yet from either 40s or 50s would be probably the most attractive project to stir interest in the contest. A 60's pair with a more friendly cut would be nice too. I loved it back in 2012 or whenever it was, but now I know more what I like, and that cut leaves much to be desired in terms of comfort and proportions (low rise, tight hip, tight thigh).

Right then before and after shots... raw v machine wash 40 C, line dry Both jacket and jeans are roomier than they look, in a good way Will post before and after measurements soon

lovely to see all these jeans @merzbot @irual @bartlebyyphonics, fading twisting and repairs all looking great. Really good to see a pair of hadal jeans wearing in, too- please keep us posted. Here are my 12oz Cross Weave 136s. I get such a kick out of seeing the right-hand twist on a left hand twill fabric cut sideways 🙂

Phigvel 302. These are my go to denim at the moment. Not too sure as I’m not familiar with the history Levi’s but believe these were based on late 40s 501xx?

That marbling doesn't go away. It's a feature not a bug though. Enjoy!

can you not drive people off sufu? that discord has so many reddit users anyway lol

Thought this is a buy/ sell thread and not grown man whining constantly…

WTS small P38-DS. Worn once. SOLD.
