At my parents' place for a family birthday. Planted a persimon tree [1] as a birthday gift. Got the new dick carroll comics [2] Tried air layering on my parents yuzu [3]. Let's hope it works out. Fig tree we planted last fall at my grandparents' place is coming along pretty good [4], let's hope for good fruits. Stork's nest right around my parents' place [5]. They used to come back every year, nowadays they don't even leave anymore, since the winters are so mild

My ring coat is in ripstop cotton - one of the lightweight versions. I'm not sure what the production pattern is but the seasonal difference seems to be heavier and lighter fabrics, perhaps a few different bells and whistles per season but the general style is what you see. I took the largest size... and tbh even a larger size or a smaller would work I think. Though imo it's a go-large coat, not a fitted number. @chicote's intuition is spot on... they're amorphous... and the amorphousness needs to be embraced otherwise the romance will end in divorce . They can be set up in different ways as you'll have seen and that's where the fun is... those with OCD may become very consumed! The idea of throwing it on is a grand one and the right one... practically, imo you need to have the configuration you want to just throw on ready or have time to do that... and then you can. Where I run into head-scratching is it I want a different configuration and it's not set up and I'm going out right now. Just considerations, not insurmountable or reasons not to go with one btw. I'm a fan... a cool and unique coat A few pics that may shed a little light, though there are tonnes online that show it better...

Hi @Alec Leamas I have both the 11.5 and 13.7, and the difference is substantial. I've had the 13.7 for a few months and never "got it" with them. I couldn't find the cuff or the drape was weird to me. I think it's like @Signet says. They take time to settle. This is not the case with the 11.5 super smooth. The 11.5 arrived and showed me what the drape could become like on the stiffer 13.7s. The 11.5 started like they had been broken in. They feel like I'm wearing heavy linen. The hand is wild and so bumpy - but the bump is subtle enough that it is smooth. It feels coated with ultra fine, mildly crunchy polar fleece. It's really cool, light and probably as light as you can get. Because of the 11.5 I was able to figure out where to cuff the heavier pair, and now these 0105 are my favorite cut at the moment. Unbelievable comfort. The super smooth are almost too comfortable. I've handled a lot of fine denims and I think maybe they remind a little of Momotaro 14 Oz but the Momotaro do not stretch. Raleigh Denim, maybe something similar but the Full Count super smooth is not as tightly woven. It's not a terrible amount of stretch. It does happen in one wear, within the first two steps, and then it seems to plateau. Couple of snaps. Both have been washed twice now. I wanted to get some room out of the super smooth. Even though I sized down to the 29 in the super smooth, they feel looser than the 13.7. I measured them and the 29, after a couple of hot washes measures 30" and the waist 30 in 13.7 measure 31". The super smooth denim gives quite a bit though. I probably could have gone with a 28. The blue on the 11.5 is really deep and smokey. It's not gray smoke, but smoky navy blue. It appears to be deeply saturated. The 13.7 don't have the same depth to the dye, that's the only way I can explain it. From the surface, I can see far more white threads in the 13.7. (Left side is 11.5) (Right side is 13.7) (Left side is 11.5) (Right -top is 13.7) My two cents, get both pair if you can. Start with the 11.5 since it seems newer and maybe not as available soon. Awesome summer weight.

Some Levi's LVC cone 501zxx and hemp blend 501 Regular 501 stf and 501xx stf Selvedge 514 ^Back of the selvedge on the hemp pair that I thought was a little interesting Cone 501z are like 10 years old but haven't gotten around to them until recently. Hemp Pair is from October. STFs are a ~10' pair and a ~00' pair. 514 are probably like 12 years old and even with many, many washes the denim still looks raw in its darkest spots.

Thank you, funky hats are the rage

@smoothsailor superrep for the hat!!!! 💥

Awesome write-up thank you!! It might be 11.5 for warm summer days then! (not that we get a tonne of them here!!!)

Damn.. Im heading to chch next week and was going to see if he wanted to catch up for a beer been a couple of years since ive been down that way and im shit at staying in touch with people. Sad as, scrolling back through old messages, last one was me randomly checking in on him to see if he was ok just over a year ago. The guy he presented on line was pretty true to him IRL. He was a chill bogan that was always with his mates drinking and smoking and having good chats. Last time I saw him he was wearing fugly cargo shorts and the rest of us were wearing his jeans, he was stoked as to see so many pairs in one place all with decent wear on them. It was the middle of summer and he ended up going on a bender and having a violent hangover. Rest in bogan peace.

Frankly speaking, I hope E takes a long break. Anyway, he was legend in his stone age....

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

3 stacks of high society 1108 from 2020 for a bit over 2 years 1108xx from 22 for a year and a half 1108 wore occasionally since november i never bought the same pair of jeans twice, looking for a new favorite. love the slim straight look with a good rise and soft Zimbabwe cotton, need a little more room on the thighs. edit: very interesting to see the whiskers and knees are near identical on the two pair

Now I am in my new WH 1000XX DSB 11 days and I think that would be worthwhile to present how they stretch ten days after initial wash. Taged size W33/L32 raw/after initial wash/after 10 days (all in cm) waist 91/86/89 front rise 33,5/31/31,5 back rise 44,5/41,5/43 thigh 33/31/32 knee 25/24/24,5 inseam 89,5/82/83 hem 23/22/22,5 ??????

Today I returned home after 10 days and there was waiting for me package from Hinoya. Warehouse 1000XX DSB 25th anniversary. Pink tab, pink selvedge, vegetable deerskin label.Side belt loops are offset. Feeling of DSB is really very close to what I remember from my childhood and teens age.... Hinoya had 2 weeks ago couple of pieces on theirs on-line shop. Sold out in 24 hours... Has anybody clue to which historical pattern are those pairs related ? And what is difference between 1001 and 1000 ?

I’m not going to address this argument again. That chemo comment though, wowza.

WTS small P38-DS. Worn once. SOLD.
