Sorry for the lack of posts lately, things are very busy personally and with Tender- it feels like forever, but we've still only been in the US five months! Thank you so much @julian-wolf @chicote and @clawbytes for fantastic photos. More things coming, but in case it's of interest to anyone, I'm doing a project with students at University of Wisconsin-Madison, and will be doing a public talk on Tuesday Feb 4th at 3.30 Central Time. It'll be livestreamed and there's a signup here: https://cdmc.wisc.edu/event/understandable-design-and-perfect-imperfections-with-william-kroll-of-tender-co/ I'm putting together a bunch of Tender garments and my own things, which I'll show and discuss. Hopefully it'll be interesting!8 points

I've noticed a bit of this, it's coming more alive for sure! I whacked mine through another warm wash to get an extra bit off the inseam, which worked well, I now don't need to cuff which is what I was wanting. Patch detail has 99.9% gone though! I'll post a renewed couple of fit pics next week5 points

Yes. Same on mine (as yet unwashed). Noticed it in the sunlight this morning.2 points

@Thicolas Rage A small run of them was made by TCB for Kiriyama Works, an auto shop with whom they have a long-standing relationship (I’m sure you’ve seen photos of the shop on TCB’s blog / shop / social media). Ryo was very helpful in coordinating with them to get me one. It’s the same denim and lining as the recent late-WWII jacket. More photos to come!2 points

Apologies in advance for the crappy pictures, my lighting isn't so good and the sun isn't as plentiful as it was in LA . I got these last Wednesday and was really impressed with the little details, mainly the patch and the Pizza red tab. I was initially worried that they would be too small post soak, however, they ended up fitting pretty nicely! They were given a soak and were then machine dried (couldn't wait on the air dry) to avoid any further shrinkage. Simo really got all the post soak shrinkage right, especailly with the inseam! I'll try to post more pictures as I get more wear in, I just tend to forget to take pictures 😅 Patch got pretty faded post wash.2 points

Checking in with pre/post and initial thoughts. I really like these jeans and cut. The roping is top notch. I’m still tripping out on the denim pockets bags It’s a weird feeling, but will only get better with wear. I didn’t get as much shrink in the waist as I wanted with the first wash, so I ran them through again as well as a trip through the dryer. Think we’re fully shrunk now - waist snug, but has loosened to what I was wanting and inseam hit requested post-shrink exactly. I ended up with some marbling with the initial soak/wash/hang dry that was probably intensified with the second wash/dryer. My typical machine wash/dry usually doesn’t marble like this, but it did this time. No worries - I’m choosing to see the squiggles as ‘freshly grated mozzarella’ for my pizza pants. Pre Post initial wash, hang dry2 points

This lovely Ooe x Sunny Garden pre-war chore jacket landed yesterday (along with a few other items, it was a nice and busy day for post down my way 😉... a few more to come soon and then the intent is no denim buy for many years... honest gov) Same pattern as the Railroad jackets Ooe did a few years ago i.e. "design is based on an old pre-war Chore Jacket; from the front, the sleeves are set-in sleeves; from the back, the raglan sleeves are split sleeves; A-line silhouette pattern with narrow shoulders and seamless hem, a fitting specific to a vintage jacket". It's in the Amoskeag repro denim, the same as the vest, I mean Sleeveless Outing Coat. Great jacket... I can see me wearing this a lot...2 points

Mostly shelving my 001’s for now, but still a lot of life left in the them. Probably close to a good year of wear at this point with quite a few washes and one or two tumble dries. The denim felt fairly crispy up until the first wash, at which point it just totally softened up and any honeycomb creases were essentially gone. Great jeans.2 points

My 311s arrived the day after I left the country for a few days so I didn't get them till Tuesday. Soaked and then washed at 30 degrees on Wednesday. Raw fit in first pic, post-wash in second (obviously). Fit is slightly slimmer than I anticipated in the leg but not too slim (I hope - thighs might get bigger again once I get over my patellar tendinitis). And I bought them to be a slim pair anyway. I think the waist will be spot on. If it stretches further than I'd like it won't matter too much cos I also went for a shortish inseam. Long term I see these as jeans for the summer.1 point

Hi all, For those that don't know me, I spent the last 3.5 years or so working at Son of a Stag/Soldier blue in London, UK. If any of you had any repairs done by them during that period, it's very likely to have done by me. I've now left SoaS and have moved down to the Kent coast where I'm going to spend more time making bags and leather accessories (wallets, keyrings & the like) I'm also set up to take on jeans repairs. So, if any of you want anything done, please do get In touch. Will be very happy to give you a price. Below are a couple of before and afters I did. Sadly l can't justify the cost of a chain stitcher so I unable to offer shortening. Apologies for the blatant promotional post 🙂 Martin1 point

Joining in on the Texas snow, we didn't get it nearly as bad as Houston. Thinking I might actually end up wearing these uncuffed.1 point
