The little satchel / purse from a few years ago remains one of my all-time favorite items of any category (likely above most of my clothes and boots, even); it’s with me all the time Had to do a first round of repairs, recently. Some holes were forming around the bottom so I patched it up with some of the canvas leftover from hemming my older pair of Roy’s Foreman pants There was some really nice lighting today so I took a few photos. I love how many different colors are present in different areas of the bag from different sorts of wear (sun, abrasion, indigo crocking…)

Progress on my DD-1001XX 1947. Just an unbelievably good fit and feel on these, soon to be unseated by the DSB 1000XX possibly but these are very special, and only getting better. Unsurprisingly, in need of a preventative crotch stitch repair, but they’re looking great I think!

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

Drove down to see the eclipse in totality in Salem, Indiana last week before adventuring in the Great Smoky Mountains for a few days. Any pictures you have seen do not do this celestial event justice. If you ever get the chance to see it take it. My camera could not capture it at all but my gods it was fucking spectacular. But I did manage to get a few fit pics. *Big hat *Thrashed bandana bolo *Orphan vest *Levi's LVC "What are Stars" tee *Vintage tea core belt *Turquoise pin *Mister Freedom Outlaw double black *Vintage Sears/ACME Thunderbird Cowboy boots Best I could do with my shite phone. The below shots were taken just minutes apart. Animals got weird. Temperature dropped. Street lights came on. The stars came out. You could hear a pin drop among the people crying and whispering. Her face says it all. Not my photos but this is pretty close to what we saw. Mind blown.

Update on Libra Pondus (LB 40s) after one week. It so happened that I received the latest Ooe-Yofukuten's, Sugar Cane 1946 and LB in a short period of a few weeks. Comparisons are begging to be made. Three very good products, each with its own exciting features, I like each. Nevertheless, if I had to keep one jean only out of the three, it would be the LB. I just fell in love with them, I like literally everything about them. Also a very simple and true indicator. Of the three items mentioned, I wear LB most often. Almost every day with very few exceptions.

Works like a charm! Before After Tried on my old 66 pair.

Something a bit different today. The bright sun blew out the highlights some unfortunately. Vintage Patagonia hemp workshirt/Jungmaven hemp t shirt/ Buzz 1942 chinos/Rancourt boots.

To make the shipping worthwhile, I also got this sweater. Extra long cuffs. And some wear and tear on my blanket lined Type2

Some pizza shop hat Some vintage vest Electric Wizard tee again Some thermal DIY Good Guys boots And a couple action shots from our record release show last night

Nicked these pics from lg - looks like a late 1941/early 1942 model 501XX. The model just before the forthcoming Freewheelers 1942 repro (last cinch model 501xx before the simplified S501xx) Has the flipped yoke, left over right panels and a black buckle. Beautiful pale yellow almost white stitching after years of wash and wear.

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.

Found a really good rock to match the Foreman pants Been wearing these a lot lately

Freewheelers Lot K470 blanket lined Wabash - size 40 Freewheelers make the best Wabash bar none … this is a true scientific fact Happy to listen to fair offers

In honor of the TCB No. 2 release - LL Bean Sherpa flannel overshirt, Kirkland t shirt/ TCB Cats Drive jeans/Rancourt Ranger Mocs. These jeans have grown on me with wear. I actually quite like them now. The before and after versus my first try-on photo is pretty amazing

Denim Dan goes to Tulip Town 1927 type 1 1937 jeans

Judging on the posts here and on IG, TCB is making a 1890s pair of No.2 denim?! Probably that is the pair they are developing. Interesting for sure. http://tcbjeans.com/news

Vintage FFA jacket from 90s .

Sometimes you think that ship as sailed...and then you stumble across something on Yahoo 😅 First I didn't recognise what it was exactly. So I ignored the listing. Then I saw it again and it dawned on me that this is something unique. You can have a guess if you like 😁

Original Line Size 36x34 One-wash measurements Waist: 36" Front rise: 11.5" Back rise: 15.5" Thighs: 13" Knee: 9.125" Leg opening: 8.25" Inseam: 31.25" (hemmed) Biggest coin pocket of the eras, a shorter fly, thicker chainstitch at the wasitband Biggest and brightest leather patch

The rep system… Most people, if using the rep system, give a standard, green, positive rep symbol to a post they like. If they really like a post they’ll give it the yellow super-rep one and if they don’t like a post (I assume they must really dislike something as it’s not used often) they give it the red, negative rep. I understand all of this, it’s completely logical. What I don’t understand (and I’m not criticizing it), is why (and therefore when) do people use the blue rep icon? I assume it’s because they like a post, but not quite enough to give it a positive rep. Is it a neutral acknowledgment of a post that’s interesting or informative in some way? Please, blue rep users, explain your justification to me and satisfy my curiosity! 😁 I wonder if anyone will give me a blue rep as a response…

And some Vintage Justins. Obsessed. And another pair is on the way (last shot)

Make a tote bag for the first time .lucky it look like one

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

Vintage Chippewa with homemade bootstrap and some wide leg LEE jeans.

Once again in the work lift. On the way to post 2 x new jeans for hemming. 🤩 Yeti // old scarf // Buzz Rickson // Warehouse T // TCB 50's // Asahi *underdressed for Leeds today - sleet / hail and a mega cold breeze! WTF is this?!

Let me preface the following 3 comparison-posts with the general statement "in terms of details the 3 eras of 66XX do not differ very much". I will add additional pics over the next weeks.

Tempo Design Store - Mastermade Goods | Est. 2017 Rue du Midi 11 Lausanne, Switzerland TempoDesignStore.com Women & Men: @TempoMastermadeGoods Home: @TempoDesignStore Monocle Magazine: Setting up shop in the Swiss Alps in November was a culmination of the travels of business partners Pablo de Pinho and Ana Deffarges (writes Claudia Jacob). The co-founders of Lausanne’s Tempo concept shop unearthed an affinity for craft culture while travelling around Brazil, Tokyo, California and Montréal, before putting down roots in the Helvetic city. “It’s rare to find lifestyle shops in Switzerland,” says De Pinho. “After getting so much inspiration living and studying across three continents, we knew that Lausanne was missing something.” The result is a selection of tasteful design objects from across the world, featuring items from furniture ateliers such as Bangalore’s Phantom Hands and Copenhagen-based Frama. There are also luxurious leather goods from Tokyo’s Hender Scheme and Taiwan’s Kamaro’an, as well as garments from Galicia’s Lichen Goods. Tempo sits at the foot of the mountains overlooking Lake Geneva and its ethos of slow living is effortless to embrace. tempodesignstore.com -> List of Brands & Designers

Apparently, Superdry isn’t as cool as it used to be although I don’t know when that was anyway 🤣
