1942 506xx landing at stores now, featuring a nicely faded tab.

understanding very much discussions above; good luck with the socialisation; takes a village to raise the child... (or via Lev Vgotsky; it is through others we becomes ourselves...) 1960s finnish army surplus (m62) / lvc 1870s / pecos

comp or not, I have made my tux order: 46 jacket, 38w jeans (requested hemming to 80cm) cons: I need another jeans like holes in heads I need another jacket like a hole in wallet these jeans are not standard easy wear; slim-ish cut, yet thin material yes; one back pocket, no belt loop for keys etc. ultimate sloppy man baby diaper look pros; nostalgieeee: for those wanting 1990s jeans; this late 1800s models is reference from which Levis late 1990s twisted jeans was running (maybe more y2k refrance, but hey...) nostalgieeeeeeee 2: these were first model I got from lvc back in the late 90s; seeing as I run a trio of tcb, tender, lvc; wanna wee what tcb do with this original pair to build from having multiple lvc examples love of the meta; yes; no.2 as brand positioning... the first two Viktor's voice jackets don't look right (inc. lucky jeans): this is getting there more imo; mostly also tcb is obviously developing its own specific jacket pattern methodology of wide shoulders and sloppy fits: the numbers on this look squarer, even if not 'classic'... pockets looks excellent; both back pocket on jeans and front pocket on jacket yes to the styling in the shoot; not miner cosplay; more skatecore and sloppy old 'uns style: I appreciate that (definitely recommend not skating in any jeans with suspender buttons; had some nasty sk8 face-plants when wearing such jeans: they are placed to puncture skin in painful bony areas...); feeling this is a track suit more than anything... want to see how the fabric ages; every tcb pair I've had has been a journey; even the 10oz bib overalls have a lot to give: I expect these will be giving a lot given the status play of making an 1890s from an original; not had natural indigo from them b4 huge plus: ultimate sloppy man baby diaper look; goes well with pecos and converse... experience: said this in all comp. threads; every tcb jean I have owned has shrunk to tagged waist size; more ppl have dropped out from jeans being too small rather than too big... wearing big on these across time also allows layering needed in winter... yes; 31cm front rise seems small, but is in line with the last cone 1870s lvc offering (picture uploaded here is said w.36 l.34 pair - from raw soaked - line dried, not machine washed ) - the back rise is the core matter... can definitely understand hesitancy in uptake for a comp. - its not classic 5 pocket jawns, jacket has particular character; but it is what it is... a marmite model...

Kapital, Sugar Cane (not visible), Ooe…and Blundstones which aren’t my fave but the default choice for shitkicking in the mud season here.

Proper British springtime photo - grey skies, washing out on the line defying the weather, bonus dog's back end as well, unsure why I'm screwing my face up so much but there we have it. Toy's Mccoy // Denime 2nd fit: same + Cushman sweat, Altra trail runners & Yeti cap In truth it’s been a difficult day, first day of both my girls in childcare, it’s not something we ever wanted to do and the drop off was emotional. Maybe that’s why I was also screwing my face up in the first photo. Anyway, some suitably dad fits. PS the 220a’s are MEGA crispy, I did not expect that!

I was hoping for a RyoXRoy collaboration.

@beautiful_FrEaK yes they made a type 2, it was several years ago now (the post I found was from 2017). I think they made it for one of their Japanese retailers Commono Reproducts (which seems like is no longer in business), not many were available. Would love if they made a traditional type 1 / 2 someday. Some more photos here: http://livininparis.com/2017/03/23/ooe-yofukuten-co/

^ great action shots!! More sedate here today... Ooe x 2 (just washed Bandanna Almanac, Railroad jacket) / McCoys / Converse

Something completely out of left field. Swung by the new Self Edge Austin location last weekend for their opening day and picked up a pair of Rick Owens sneakers. If you would've asked me 5 years ago if I would wear Rick Owens I probably would've laughed at you.

If you can make that happen, you'd be a Hiro

I have them in size W34. Measurements "Raw/after first wash in 30 degrees" are : Inseam : 84/83 cm Fr rise : 34/33 cm Back rise : 40/40 cm Thigh in crotch : 35/34 cm Knee : 29/27,5 cm Hem : 26/25 cm Inseam : 90/85 cm

Union Special / Tender Co. / Hollows / Cane’s / MOTO

an ooe tux flex of such caliber can never be called sedate; oh the bandanna... long may he flutter

I think this design is a lot more understated and not flashy at all. I used to exclusively think of Rick Owens from the goth-ninja perspective. Guys like this.

Another new to me pair of vintage Justin's boots.

@Alec Leamas I still have a hard time dropping off my son but more than a year in I am sure it has been the best thing for him. His socialization skills have wildly improved, his imagination has grown in ways it wouldn't have at home, and most of all, he's been able to learn from more people that are not his two parents and while we do our best and contain multitudes, we cannot show him everything. It gets easier, but it never gets easy. Everyone is different, but in general I think it's quite good for the kids and harder for the parents.

Just washed these Ooe x Bandanna Almanac Before After - not much difference to colour

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I like the rep system - very often I’ll use the green, regularly the yellow (gold?) and infrequently the red; but I almost never use the blue because I’m not sure what it represents so in many cases rather than liking or disliking a post a ‘blue’ post will more likely drive me to comment. Unfortunately comments can be misinterpreted … I suppose a bit like a blue rep

Feeling like a character in a Wes Anderson movie. All vintage except the hat and the Mister Freedom Outlaw in deadstock Cone Mills. Boots are Justin's.

Some fit pics on my Cats Drive pair, for illustration of the fit on a different body type. I put them on again today to find that actually, they're not so uncomfortable and maybe I will put some time into them - the fabric is already softening and I imagine will become very comfortable over time. I actually did the same thing, I compared the size charts beforehand to my DD-1001XX (1947) (essentially my North star fit-preference wise, granted the waist is a bit big for me, but overall as yet unbeatable) - and the comparison of the measurements I need to know about looks like this: DD1001XX (34) // TCB Cat's Drive (32) Waist (flat): 42cm // 40cm Front Rise: 31cm // 32cm Thigh (my KEY measurement): 31cm // 31cm Hem width (at unhemmed inseam length): 21.5cm // 20cm Given that, I imagined I was going to be in for a spacious pair - as you can see - I was indeed not! As mentioned above it was truly a lesson in a set of measurements not giving the full picture. It wasn't the fit I was after, but maybe I'll get along with it anyway! They certainly won't be getting my usual treatment of regular wash and dries.

Haven’t posted in a bit on this thread. Rocking some Stevenson Overall salt and pepper trousers I picked up recently from the Community Sale thread. Amazing fabric, sewing, details, fit. Gonna be wearing these a lot on days I feel like wearing not-jeans! Freenote flannel / Flat Head jacket / Equus belt / Flat Head wallet / Stevenson Overall trousers / Wesco Mister Lou

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:

Why nobody wants a 80s pair? Last redline

Here are the numbers on my size 34: Pre-wash: Waist: 18" / 46 cm Front rise: 13.5" / 34 cm Rear rise: 17.75" / 45 cm Hip (7.5 cm up from crotch seam): 24" / 61 cm Thigh: 13.5" / 34 cm Mid-thigh (10 cm below crotch seam): 11.75" / 30 cm Knee (34 cm below crotch seam): 10" / 25 cm Hem: 9.25" / 23.5 cm Inseam: 35.5 in / 90 cm Post-wash (40 °C, delicate cycle, no spin, no detergent, sun-dried outside) Waist: 17.5" / 44 cm Front rise: 13" / 33 cm Rear rise: 17" / 43 cm Hip (7.5 cm up from crotch seam): 23" / 58.5 cm Thigh: 12.75" / 32.5 cm Mid-thigh (10 cm below crotch seam): 11.25" / 28.5 cm Knee (34 cm below crotch seam): 9.5" / 24 cm Hem: 8.75" / 22.5 cm Inseam: 34.5" / 87 cm They shrank about 4% in most dimensions, which is less than I anticipated. However, they fit pretty well right now so I'll probably wear them as is for the time being. I feel sure they will shrink more in subsequent washes, particularly the inseam. Here are a few more pics for fun. Fit shot will have to wait till tomorrow when I have my tripod.
