Photo dump. Broke my Midnight Riders Dungarees out today. Wish they were slightly shorter and slightly looser in the top block. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to find a bigger size someday. The beautiful 10 oz denim on these is aging wonderfully.

Finally took my one of a kind hand made embroidered denim vest to the tailor to be altered. Short people problems. Perfect length now. This old Coke jacket will be next. Temporarily pinned and cropped by about 3 inches. Looks great now. Fortunately the zipper was about 4 inches shorter than jacket itself.

All ready for night two of our award winning live "Radio Show" The Spectral Silhouette. ( Adult Scooby Doo meets The Shadow with live music. We are on Spotify ). Tonight's show is vaguely western themed so wool trousers become cowboy denim. All vintage except the Barker Black pocket square and the Bronson Lee-pro.

I had noticed the beautiful indigo patina on the rough out side of favorite vintage painted belt before but I was today years old when I realized the buckle is designed to be instantly reversible. It seems it simply swings both ways. I can wear it either way without swapping the buckle. I won't do it often because I don't want to effect the perfect gloss or the paint too much. But how cool is that?

Same old. Getting way more mileage out of a pair of budget Target jeans than I ever expected. Button fly, wide vintage fit, mid weight selvedge denim for less than the price of fabric? Late stage capitalism is a weird mess.

One of my rarest. And most tattered. Roy Lichtenstein X Guggenheim "Grrrrrrrr!" T shirt In 1993 the Guggenheim Museum used Lichtenstein's 1965 work "Grrrrrrrrrrr!" In promotional materials to advertise their upcoming show: "Roy Lichtenstein: A Retrospective". They sold this shirt in the gift shop. It has since become a collector's item. I found it about 20 years ago thrifting and loved it so much that I nearly destroyed it. In fact it made quite a few WAYWT appearances in the early 2000s. Very high rotation. It was so beat up I recently bought a reprint so I could semi retire the OG. You can see the reprint image size is a bit smaller and the shirt is pretty thin in comparison. And aside from a few coffee drips it's also still white.

Lazy fit Vintage everything but the tee (Skeleton Key Brewery) and denim (h&m)

Another photo dump on these STF 501s Almost 2 years of occasional wear with a lot of activity in the last 9 months. Still starchy and crunchy, the indigo is slowly chipping away revealing the light blue and white slubs nicely contrasting with the pink weft. I love this denim. Last shot under interior lighting.

And another pair of vintage boots. Vintage Cole Haan Country boots. These were a gift from friends. They were cleaning out their father's wardrobe and knew I would appreciate these. Very well made, solid construction. Not quite a cowboy boot but very western. Low underslung heels but no decorative stitching or toe bug, heavy leather but very polished. Slim and elegant like a Chelsea boot. First pair of denim are Mister Freedom Californian Outlaw in deadstock Cone Mills White Oak selvedge. Second pair are a cheap pair of wide leg jeans from h&m.
