It feels cold back here in the UK so i wore a pair of jeans for the first time in ages.. Hakusan Orgueil Sack Coat Dapper's Indigo Dot Devi's TMC Railman

Can't wait for cooler weather to get these back in rotation.

DSB ‘47 I like that it’s very obvious the pocket flap was removed

Meanwhile, patched over the opening to the left front pocket earlier this week with fabric from the cut off hem of one of my Tender Co. shirts, dyed w/ Prussian blue. I’ve stitched over a few seams, previously, but this is the first real repair—almost always is, for me. I really love how the pocket bag denim is fading; it’s a beautiful rich blue. Plus: photos before the upcoming wash, I think no. 5 or 6?

earlier this week. Rick Owens copying Oakley, Helmut Lang copying Fred Perry from 1997 I think and Helmut copying Levi’s from the 00’s as well, but the wescos are real. Been recovering from surgery this summer and have only been fading a lovely pair of black warp/grey weft drkshdw jeans… I’ll have to make a post in Unknown Non-Japanese Brands when I get around to taking pics

A 7 hour round trip yesterday to Loughborough University athletics stadium for my lad to run for just over 2 minutes… a great experience and result so it was well worth it

I bought myself a house in a town in the blue ridge mountains. I’m happy.

Sorry for the late reply, thats Kapital Socks. Rare colder weather yesterday Jackman/SugarCane 45R RDT

Flat head, canes, lone wolf. I love this shirt!

We are currently on holiday in the Black Forest. This is the weather forecast so I'm not going to wear jeans anytime soon 😅

Thanks @MJF9! Hope to be added to the list of cancer survivors. I guess I'll make this a PSA (public service announcement) on the PSA (prostrate specific antigen). All men should know (eventually) about their PSA level. It is a possible indicator of prostate cancer. If your general physician doesn't do an annual test for this in your blood labs, have them add it. While it's not a 100% fool proof test, if it is rising (hence the annual check to keep tabs) and you also have other symptoms (which can be very vague) then an MRI may be warranted. My story is no drug use, no smoking, low alcohol use and only one person with cancer in my family background. But the symptoms can be very little things that add up over time and you may pass them off as "I'm getting older". Pay attention to your urinary function and your sexual function and give all details (even minor) to your doctor. It can add up to an aggressive tumor in your prostrate, which can also spread cancer to other regions (luckily, mine did not). I'm just putting this out there because it may help even one of you catch things early!! Stay healthy and listen to your body. Cheers

Thanks for the warm welcome, all! I tried to photograph all the details of this pair. Does anyone know what the various numbers on the hang tag indicate? I'm referring to 7750 00, No. 70-00-5047 and Col. 93. It seems like the barcode is actually a combination of No. + Size + Col + 4.

This weekend: baking pies, moving starts to pots (pictured: Mexican sour gherkins), watching older plants grow older, keeping an eye on the dogs and on the cricket that’s been hanging around our kitchen sink for the past few weeks

Just getting off work, variation on my outfit from a few days ago. 1960’s Gant shirt, Duke belt, 50’s Soviet watch, Cane’s M41150 and Lone Wolf Carpenters.

MASH M35 denim dungarees about eight years old now. These are reproductions of the dungarees worn by Civilian Conservation Corp workers and US Army enlisted soldier from the 1930's through the 40's. They started out as raw denim but are gradually fading nicely.

Washed my 1880s and 1890s. Obvs I've posted the 1880s a lot here - the last new Cone denim design, natural indigo grown in Nashville. Thye are fabulous. What we love with denim is now different jeans wear in differently. These crock a lot - but the areas without wear retain their colour. These have had a lot of wear, maybe 18 months of summers. Marbling at the back of the legs is lovely, I will post a pic when I can. The 1890s (left on the dual pic) are Kurabo, the jeans are posted as new right at the beginning of this thread. Kurabo's version of the early fabric is very green. I like that too but it doesn't have the micro texture of the Cone. These were really hard to wear in, almost no crocking with wear. THey are now my main summer jeans as I can't bear to retire my 1880s, which have now those little loose threads that signals that heavy repairs will soon be needed.

About 4 months of wear in my SOA03 with washes each month

On a little music tour, me and a drummer, staying in houses of folks involved with organizing the concerts. Meanwhile at home our valley is on fire again (The Gifford Fire), it's only been about a month since the last one. The fire crews are getting a lot of work this year...

Four-wash @ 30 degrees, spin 800 for 45min. I’ve mostly been wearing shorts since last - still, they were smelling musty so in they went but gently this time. Obviously not much change since last yet here’s some new photos:

Been meaning to get this thread started for a little while, was just waiting for my second pair to arrive. The first pair (which was previously posted in the Unknown JP brands thead), was produced in the later half of '23 using the LF44 denim. This second pair (which I just received over the weekend) are made using the SO02 denim and are similarly based on a '47. The one thing that I find very interesting and hard to describe with this jeans is the "three-dimensionality" that you can feel in all the folds where different layers of fabric intersect. He mentions it often on his blog and Instagram, but there's something about it in person that is very unique. And here's some comparison shots, I haven't washed the SO02 yet and I've been wearing the LF44 a bit.

The patch may be my favorite bit of evo on these jeans.

Probably a couple months behind most, but happy with the progress so far

Slash Overalls is a one man brand operating in Shizuoka Japan, and has been operating since around ~2021. Originally he started offering custom jeans, allowing his customers to pick various details: denim, pocket and yoke shape, pocket bag fabrics, cut, etc. Most of these jeans were loosely based on different historical eras that we all know and love. However they were not always marketed as strict reproductions, but more creative interpretations. Many of these had (quite distinct) arcs, which he has since moved away from. Below are a few examples of his earlier offerings ('37, '40s, late 1890s Miner Jeans). (*Photo credit: Slash Overalls Instagram) He also ran a series of "grunge models", which had more irregular sewing features. These might seem haphazard, but as mentioned in his blog post the irregular sewing details are intentional and quite difficult to reproduce. (*Photo credit: Slash Overalls blog) In his pursuit of creating a more accurate repro, he graduated to working directly with denim mills on developing his own fabrics to use. With this change in production mentality, he stopped offering custom made jeans and began releasing products in batches. I can't quite figure out the exact rhyme or reason to how each different batch aligns which the denim used, but they are all slight variations. One of the first offerings was the LF44, then NP01, SO02 (aka NP02,), and SL01 (developed in collaboration with Okamoto Textile Co.). LF44: LF44, aged: NP01: NP01, 1 year of wear: SO02: SL01: (*Photo credit: Slash Overalls blog and Instagram) The last two are more recent releases (late '24), and thus I don't think I've seen any faded photos yet. As seen above, he also makes a few variations of denim jackets, mostly inspired by WWII models and late 40's type I's. One interesting aspect of the way he sizes and grades the patterns for his denim jackets is that he does not adjust the body or sleeve length for larger sizes. He doesn't list the body or sleeve length on product pages, and says that one should be able to size his jackets based on chest and shoulder measurements. I've seen an Instagram post where he states this is how Levi's used to pattern and size their jackets, but I personally am not sure if this is 100% accurate. I haven't gotten one of the jackets yet, but I'm hoping to add one in the future. (*Photo credit: Slash Overalls Instagram and IG user oto_ten) Alongside his mainline jeans, his most recent undertaking is the XX Grade project. Focusing on reproducing jeans in the most accurate way possible, down to the materials used. These have only just started to be released, but my understanding is that he has been working with different machinists to recreate the machinery used in creating vintage two prong buttons. This line carries a steep price tag, but I haven't been able to track down a pair myself...yet. (*Photo credit: Slash Overalls blog) He also has been working on a line of "vintage aged" denim, assuming this is a similar oxidation process that we've seen from some other makers previously. This line has yet to be released, but I'm interested in the results once he is ready to release the finished product. (*Photo credit: Slash Overalls blog)

Enjoying first day off work Bonus shot

Pre and post wash I can’t bring myself to holding out on washing anymore - if my wife doesn’t want shoes on our hardwood floor I’ll bet she definitely doesn’t want grease on our couch.
