Excellent stuff everyone Photos got SuFu'd as well 2001XX DSB 1947 My Conners jacket is approaching bum territory so this'll be my main jacket from now on. Denim is really nice, fit is perfect, pretty stoked. Paired with FW 47s

Under the weather and stupid hot out for May. Indoors working in my version of a leisure suit. Tender / Fullcount (11 oz denim)

Rockets 0001xx wwii

My warehouse 1915 belt loop model (aka 1922 model) which l have been wearing on and off for the last year. Only had one wash since its initial soak. Love the cut details and denim but boy they do seem to fade quick. Phone pics have been 'sufu'd' so click on for a better quality version.

Been rough and toughing some FW 47 the past couple of months Fit is great. Super baby soft abrasion resistant denim Edit: here's a photo of the front

‘Borrowed’ from someone I ‘know’ from IG A really nice pic of a pair of FW beside another brand

Here are a couple of my pairs: CSF M-46 and CSF x Dappers

My Csf WW2 got a regular wash and made the jerky patch fall to pieces so l removed the rest. Nice roping thanks to @Mr Black skills at hemming on the old Union special. Been wearing these and my WH 1922s for a while but now it seems like shorts weather until September so my Csf will get put away until then. (Edit) sorry about the crap pic quality, not my intention. Click on them to get sharper image.

Long time no post... So on the topic of those Ukrainian Ande's on eBay, like everybody else i suspected the seller's measurements were off and did my own calculations. I took a (semi) drunken punt and low balled an offer which was accepted. I can happily report the inseam is a 30" not a 26", and as such fit me perfectly. The jeans themselves i'd say have probably only seen a months wear perhaps? Not even that....The only thing the seller neglected to mention was that this was the rainbow nep edition that Ande did, but it's fairly subtle & i actually kind of like it. Feels like a 13oz. Pretty stoked with them to be honest...

Wickett & Craig harness and Japanese hardware except the brass saddlers rivets … amazing how much harder brass is than the traditional copper

Some of you will think this is the most illegal thing to do but i think they turned out great. Long story short, i rarely ever wore these tcb 50s since they are too big and i have another pair of raw's that i'm fading. Since there are no light wash selvedge jeans i tought why not try with these since i dont use them. I tried 4 cups of bleach in a bathtub for 3h and it did absolutely nothing so i ended up pouring 2L of bleach in there and did that two times. Time will tell how much damage that did. But i will wear these more now.

at apprenticeship school this week. Filson denim vest. Here’s my FW 1927 @MJF9 OOE 01 from @olmecasteve

The irony is that surely they were supposed to be cautious with materials during WW2 and yet these repros seem to be using twice as much thread as necessary 🤷‍♂️

Encinitas after wash. Really nice subtle texture to this fabric, and the green caste is a nice change from the purple & red hues we see more often.

I have the '43 tux... beautifully wonky it is too... makes a refreshing change from all that straight stitching that has saturated the market 😜 I've worn it down the local supermarket before and Mavis on checkout never batted an eyelid... but that may be because I stood ever so slightly on a slant to make it appear that the box pleats were straight... actually it's probably because there is only us 20 Sufu'ers who ruminate (in a good way :)) on these things While we're chatting... I was at my lad's football semi-final a few weeks ago wearing a FW wabash jacket. One of the parents said 'I'm a bit superstitious... you're not wearing your lucky denim jacket'... I asked him which one... and his response proved to me he thought I only had one and they were therefore all the same WTF 🤯. The sad ending to that story is the lads lost their first competitive game in 2 years that day 😭... the key message I took from it is that, irrespective of the model, all denim jackets can be lucky!! I'll put some '43 tux pics up soon so you can throw tomatoes at it

"And now for something completely different" Feeling nostalgic. Couldn't afford these back in high school. Now I can. 80's Guess jeans. Always thought they nailed the gray/black color. RRL shirt Buck Mason Field-spec heavy tee (highly recommend!) Nike 79 Tailwind

A few nice days of sun, now soggy. At least it cooled off enough for me to throw on a jacket. MF, Trophy, Nudie

broke the 1927 type 1 out of retirement

Thought I would post an aging photo of my sling bag @Duke Mantee made me. I love this thing and it’s starting to get beaten up, people stop me and ask me questions about it all the time. Thank you Duke! 🫅

Todd Snyder blazer/Brooks Brothers shirt/Sugarcane 1947 black/Birkenstocks. Black tassel loafers would have been ideal if I had a pair

Nailed it

SC47s are the bomb.

Hemmed these myself today. Don’t really care that it isn’t chain stitched haha. also comparison shot of the lightly worn 01 compared to the new wwii 03

Last two days. Today: vintage Crested Butte merchandise, diy jeans, etnies. Additional closeup of the diy jeans, I like how they're coming along. Yesterday: straight edge tee, Eddie Bauer (started off as pants but never liked the way they fit so I turned them into shorts), etnies.

Yet everybody (?!) on here loves and favours the more irregular denim which just replicates the imperfections of vintage denim. So we all justify to ourselves what we prefer (and that's what counts I guess). Is it because to sew badly is easy and to replicate imperfect denim is hard? We had this topic of the wonky stitching some weeks back but I didn't take part but here is my (obviously) biased view. When I started with raw denim and repros I favoured the perfect and neat stitching. I would have been disappointed to see sloppy sewing for the price I paid. The first model I really noticed which featured the more wonky stitchwork where the Real McCoys 003 and I didn't like it. Mainly because every pair was the same and the design of the errors wasn't very nice. I admit CSF started my interest in the badly sewn jeans. Everything was done on period correct machines and the errors were more natural and every pair was kinda different (if I see his newer stuff it's often pretty exaggerated and looks like a bad copy of his early work). From this point though I looked a bit different on sloppy sewing. I've got some old Denime stuff where the sewing is kinda sloppy but not on purpose and I am sure I would have been disappointed when I would have bought those in 2014 or so. Nowadays, I find it pretty neat and it's kinda my favourite part Denime in the Orizzonti era as well had their WW2 pair with sloppy sewing (and thus it predates the Real McCoys pair I mentioned earlier) but here again: all errors are the same. Hayashi-san even went so far to replicate the same errors on his Resolute 714. And this feature I still don't like very much. Why do I make an exception for Sugar Cane (and here is the justification part)? Because like I wrote earlier it's a 1:1 copy of an existing pair so kinda a perfect repro. Not a fantasy pair copied into oblivion like Denime, Resolute, Real McCoys, SDA or Full Count did in the past and do now.

First time I'm posting pictures of my 8301 sbg's I got a couple of years back. Third wash on these. Two years of wear on these, I only see one spot on these where they need some repairs but these have held up really good. I've lost a considerable amount of weight since I got these so I might hang these up for awhile and get another cut, not sure what I want to get right now.

When the IIY4 jeans are drying, I have been switching between the Denime and SC47 (pictured).

Black ‘50s, don’t remember if / when I’ve posted these in the past Color truest in the all-the-way-zoomed-out photos, and I’m the angled shots up the lengths of the legs

Chippewas, worn frequently for 8 years or so.

Had this pair with me during our recent vacation so it needed another wash.

For sure @JDelage and @rodeo bill! Here are some quick smudges :-) I picked it up from the kind lads at BlkBlu. I'd normally go for a size 5 but I went for a 6. I didn't notice much difference in the body between the two and the 6 gave me a little more length in the sleeves and body. I'm really loving it. It's going to provide a nice layer of protection over a jumper this autumn and winter!

And now it's official, the 15th anniversary denim will be: Black x white https://www.instagram.com/p/C7F-XNTvp7M/?igsh=MWthZXc2MnNjaWRwdA==

Papa nui, sun surf, RMC, vans

OOE 01. Solid fit

I think the level of slop was predominantly worse for Levis products for some of the reasons described earlier - re new factories, whereas Lee already had a number of factories. Only ever seen a few pairs of images of WW2 made cowboy pants and jackets and the only slightly sloppy stitching was on the pleat stitches, even then it's bearly visible. As for Bluebell's Wrangler brand, that wasn't introduced until 1947.

Will do! I recently started working on a hadal brown reefer jacket.
