So sick @cultpop 0217 I always wanted a pair. I once met Christian at a party and drunkenly ranted at him that he needed to do another run. 

Seriously, a legendary piece of denim history. 

I've been looking for a pair ever since. 

Seen lots of speckled denim since but none quite nailed this. 

I'm pretty stoked. 

Also found the Left Field x Blueblack Greasers in the Collect Mills midnight denim in my size and those are gorgeous too.

great fit on th ejeans and nice shirt too.

some of the coolest jeans ever.

maybe they will make more?

edit: just noticed they released another run of these while i slept. fuck.

And over 13 years later a pair shows up on Ebay and I didn't even hesitate. 

These jeans have lived in my head for over a decade and now they are finally mine. 

I wish they were a little darker but this still feels like a miracle.

Took a chance on these years back but they never fit, so now I'm posting these kinda rare discontinued Redwing 9015s on the 'Bay but thought I would share them here too fir posterity. Built like little tanks. 

Same old, some new.

New to me Vintage Chippewa boots. The leather patina was too good to pass up. 

*I have been searching for an actual vintage example of this t-shirt for years. It has been poorly copied a few times because it's claim to fame was an appearance in a classic quirky 80s comedy. 

Since finding this grail I have worn it a few times but despite my friends and acquaintances all being pop culture obsessed weirdos NO ONE has placed it yet!

Only a real one will get it. 

SO...if anyone can name the film,  I'll send you a prize. Probably something vintage! 

@julian-wolf got it almost immediately through DM. Get at me with your address!

Close up showing the belt and buckle, the MF frogmouth pockets and the vintage jewels Duke inspired me to add (until I can pull the trigger on one of his belts!)

Close up of the vintage Roy Rogers tee. Send me your guesses!

I picked this pair of Jormon’s on eBay and it looks like they have been put through the dryer more than their fair share and exhibit a marbling pattern m. Does this go away with wear or is this what it is? Being that they are natural indigo they are going to take forever to wear down on their own  

 That marbling doesn't go away. It's a feature not a bug though.  Enjoy!

This is the only denim I ever bought in 2 sizes. My 30s have only been worn a few times (i found they ran slightly large so I put my wear into the 29s). If that happens to be useful for you let me know. 

 What's the actual measurements on that 30? I remember then running big?

Pre soak fit

Post soak fit…. like a glove

My current grails.  Perfect fit. 

@DC2020

These are the boots. Some vintage cowboy boots I was gifted about 20 years ago. They fit like gloves and are built like tanks but no name is legible. 

Just picked up these Mister Freedom Midnight Riders by Sugarcane. 

 10 oz. Denim,  Indigo warp, black weft

These are a little long so the ankle pockets are mostly hideen by cuffs but I've been after these for so long I don't care. 

I first saw these worn by (former?)  SF Member Cotton Duck and in love but rarity and economics would prevent me from picking up a pair. 

(Image below)

Until last week. Saw these for pretty cheap online in a size I could make work...so inpulled the trigger. 

Still getting used to the wider leg openings but the construction and denim are fantastic. 

Been going through my piles of vintage and among the Wranglers, 501s and 517s I found these no name four pocket genes. 

Made in USA, 80% Cotton 20% Poly, bit of stretch, deep dark indigo, nice grain and color, double arcuates, no coin pocket YKK zip and a killer fade. 

Fit is very slim with a soft bootcut, and a fairly deep rise. Pretty close to the cotton blend 517s of the era with lighter weight denim. Hemmed at exactly my inseam too. 

Any guesses on the maker? 

Probably a house brand from JCPenny or K-Mart me thinks.

The indigo terry is really starting to shine in the cuffs. 

And a brief jewelry related hold up before the show last night.  I haven't had to take my belt off in years...

@smoothsailor those full count look really nice. Are they actually wide or did you have to size up? 
 

indigo invitational is a yearly fading competition, not an actual event, if I remember correctly. 
 

 @cultpop 0217 if it is indeed a one year competition I personally wouldn’t bother. I see no point in going out of my was to destroy a pair of jeans in just one year of wear. Also unlike brand competitions that happen here from time to time I think it’s more about the how much you destroy and abuse your jeans etc etc, so if it’s the prizes you are after (which is justified, they are pretty sweet) most people really need to go out of their way to even have a chance. It’s just what I think though, and my opinion really doesn’t mean anything. You do you (:

 This is pretty close to my thinking. I don't actually want to destroy a pair of jeans in one year. I have denim that I've been wearing on and off for 20 plus years. I also love variety. 

 If I entered with a vintage pair it would just be to add some variety to the contest. 

Camera is acting up so I'm going back to a chilly day in April that I never posted.
