Top notch fit. You must have some experience with this brand.

Personally speaking, I’m vegetarian for animal welfare reasons rather than environmental, so I enjoy meat (or did), so if I can get something similar and nothing was harmed in the process I’m all for it. However, I’ve become totally accustomed to the ‘rubbish’ meat alternatives that have been around for years that aren’t particularly meat-like, and now anything that’s realistic freaks me out - I guess it’s self-imposed conditioning. I think these new plant-based alternatives are all environmentally-driven and targeted at meat eaters to a greater extent than non meat eaters. It’s telling that a lot of them can be found in the meat aisle and not the vegetarian section where the crusties shop.

I’ve heard this from a few people 00, my sis-in-law gets really sick within seconds of eating it. It’s got something to do with the pretend mushroom fungus stuff: https://www.nutritionaction.com/daily/what-not-to-eat/dangers-quorn-products/ As a veggie, some of the new vegan stuff is so realistic it’s too weird after not eating meat for years.

Impressive rise, but not a patch on the TCB contest jeans.

Thank you for playing sirs. Very satisfying. @bartlebyyphonics @LazyS

@Jambon They appear relatively easy to cart & check out on the Levi’s app (at least in the U.K.), unless that’s just to enter into a prepaid raffle. I won’t repeat some of the sage words posted above about these, but hope you can cop if you’re after them. Luvvly, aged blues there @bartlebyyphonics Edit: Sorry - jewelben already posted this

Here you go @smoothsailor https://supertalk.superfuture.com/topic/22338-unknown-japanese-brands/?do=findComment&comment=3340122

Nope, and they fit like a hot mess like they’re supposed to. My jeggings are sweaty and atrocious, but are worth it so I don’t look out of place when I’m with the lads in Yates’s. Fit is so subjective - there ain’t no right or wrong. Smoothsailor’s looser fits are awesome, as are Geeman’s tapered fits. The hard bit is finding your sweet spot. I think Roy’s advice to trial some cheaper jeans before splurging hundreds on the artisanal stuff, with a hefty customs charge to boot, is good stuff if you’re uncertain.

Time for lame rant that definitely belongs in the nonsense thread, but is trainer related so I’ll stick it in here. These will no doubt be old news to some of you here, but I heard about these the other day and what the actual fuck!? Crease guards (that look like cheap, breathable codpieces) which are bits of plastic (cos we haven’t got enough plastic) that prevent your trainers from creasing while you wear them. Trainer fetishism has gone bonkers, and it transpires that creases are a big faux pas. You don’t want to look like the kind of tool that actually wears their clothes do you...? I personally love a beat up pair of trainers so I’m not the target market. I’m mostly a live and let live bloke, but this is too much. Rant over. Don’t feel obliged to respond or acknowledge. Just posting has made me feel better.

Not as fancy as Flash’s vintage or hotly anticipated reproduction, here are my youngest’s Gap selvedge in their natural habitat Muffin top inspo

Keep safe @Spiraltoy, and that’s some neat stitch work.
