Shame on me, this is my first update! I *LOVE* these jeans, they're flattering and comfortable. I have missed one single day since the beginning, I was sick and stayed in bed most of that day. Here's a little photo dump from the last few days. We shot a couple promo videos in a great venue in Genova, Castello Mackenzie.

Hey all. Here are my Warehouse 1101, worn regularly for about 18 months I think. Gotta love how the Banner denim evolves. I began wearing them a little before my eldest son was born in 2017 and discovered a whole new world of knee fades upon his arrival 😌… Jumping forward a few years, I’ve started wearing them again recently so will aim to get better shots of them on here later down the line.

We took our daughter out to the local wildflower center near our house yesterday, hard to believe she's already 3 months old. I've had a hard time documenting much lately, but I'm working on it! Before and after one of our pups got a (long overdue) haircut. Keeping watching during playtime. I've got a bunch of fancy sneakers but somehow I always end up back in these ones from Catchball. Seen a guy at one of our local coffee shops wearing some wide FH's and Paraboots.

MF cap and shirt Julian belt WOM Whites

Bump indeed... posted this before... MF RBs plus SC Okinawa denim have been in my mind lately... Bought Nov 2017... wore it a lot for a few years... snugger than I wear most jackets these days (or have I grown?!)... lots of life left though

1946-47 506xx new vs 2 years, 9 months. Wear pattern partly backpack related I think. Also RIP my hair 🥲

Took a little vacation to Mexico and tried to wear them as much as possible even though it pushed 90 degrees Fahrenheit. But so dang glad to be home, the smog was really bad, my wife got sick, plus I was mugged by our “taxi driver”. Ugh. I sometimes forget how lovely where I live is, good clean air, good nature and nice people. Some highlights though were the whales, both humpbacks and orcas, dolphins, tasty food, good weather, nice place to stay with great sunsets, beautiful dancing, nightly fireworks and really good margaritas! word of mouth contest jeans 411S warehouse shirt duke mantee belt 3sixteen x crescent down works vest nike trail running shoes

Some of my favorite Union Special shirts: Got the first two (Neal Cassidy plus Foreman) from Seiichiro around 2020. Both have aged really well; I love the puckering on the Foreman, although the color on that one’s faded a little fast for my liking. Both are 50/50ish cotton/linen blends. The Neal is a little small on me now, but the Foreman still fits perfect. The contrast & colors are truest on the collar shots. Got this salt & peppery chambray Hammersmith off Yahoo in 2019 or 2020 I think. It’s probably my most-worn cotton chambray shirt from Freewheelers, although I did just pick up a lighter S&P Neal shirt (prob. the exact same one our own Neal’s got on, above) from Yahoo a few weeks ago that I’m looking forward to. Very comfortable fabric. My very favorite shirt—maybe ever—is this Rivet Gunner (the red one) that I picked up in 2022 or so. No photos that I’ve taken manage to do the fabric justice. I was ecstatic to find a second one recently (the green), not too heavily used. It just arrived in the same shipment as the S&P Neal; I still haven’t even worn it out. Bonus shot of all of the above crumpled on the table, for color reference:

I don’t know what wash number this was (perhaps 5 or 6) but couldn’t resist a few shots in the breezy back garden seeing as it’s so spring-like out today. Varying light conditions but tried to capture the colour as realistically as I could, the real colour lies somewhere between the light and dark ones ha. I love these jeans.

SInce there are plenty of models available (or were at one point) and we already have some discussions in various threads, I thought, it would be fun to have a dedicated thread to the 30s cinch back models to share fit pics, fades and the different models of the various makers. According to TCB it is differentiated roughly between the early, mid and late 1937 models. These are the main difference of the models as our resident scholar on this matter Dr Heech had written before here: "Lvc 1937 at the bottom, Csf 1941 in the middle and FW42's at the top. Both the repro 37 and 42 models have the standard yoke set up, whereas the pair in the middle do not. The standard yoke set up is what we are used to seeing on 501's made from August 1942 up until the present day which sees the bottom panels overlap the top ones, like on the lvc 37's and FW42's shown." So the yoke: 1937- right over left 1941- top over bottom 1942- back to standard from then on bottom over top and left over right.

Sunday morning coffee dog walks in the 311

Here's one for the collectors.. ..bonus Lenny photo ..it's a 35yr old deadstock Silverstone 506xx repro from 1990 ..according to 'denim legend'.. Silverstone (and subsequently Ground-Alls) went out of business because of the exacting standards of the perfectionist owners.. i don't know if this is true or denim-lore but they did go bankrupt producing an incredible repro during the golden age / largest denim-boom on the planet ..the very first cowhorn patch which has been oiled annually so it doesn't crack shirt weight denim as we would expect ..you'll not see another one of these this week, month, year.. probably ever

Been lacking on updates, but I snapped a couple of photos this weekend. Enjoying the jeans a lot so far, just not getting much sleep these days.

Dropped by my long-time favorite pub yesterday—Schmidt’s, in Albany, for anyone in the area—for a couple pints, plus a pizza (not pictured) from another favorite joint over on that side of town. Always a great feel to the place, which doubles as a tobacconist (or maybe it doubles as a pub). They keep fresh Old Speckled Hen on tap, my consistent go-to—but also usually have one or two good Belgians, often from my old favorite Quebecois brewery Unibroue. The pictured table is incidentally where I wrote a good chunk of my thesis, a couple of years ago now.

…& After

S516xx. Probably gonna get a wash soon. Can’t remember the last time it had one, maybe even 2023. I have a lot of jackets so none of them develop too quickly but this gets a lot of use in the colder months. It’s a really soft denim these days but started out quite stiff. My favorite part so far is probably the puckering on the hem.
