Mr Black

This picture of me was taken by a photographer called Rebecca Lewis who was going out with my mate at the time. Shes quite well known for photographing subcultures. She was commissioned by Intersection magazine to photograph a low rider convention/show in Bristol and I got the chance to tag along. A great weekend.

Bit late to the party. Some lovely stuff on show

i bought this artwork off a mate of mine. A fabulous illustrator who drew under the name of Dry British (his Instagram account is still live. Check out his stuff). He very sadly passed away early last year following injuries from a very nasty cycling accident.

I'd go with the 40. They look better trimmer rather than looser.

It’s from the Winter 2012-13 collection ... sorry I don’t have the catalogues any more so I can’t tell you the exact model

edit:

http://blog-jkstyle.jugem.jp/?eid=991   Might give you a step for a hint

Thanks Duke. Most helpful.

I picked up this warehouse sweatshirt from Yahoo.jp a few weeks ago. I've been having a bit of a hunt across the web, but am struggling to find a model number.

Any ideas?

@Mr Black here is an old pattern for cap making. Maybe it will help.

 

 

Thankyou. That’s really helpful. I’ll have a proper gander over that .

Thanks Paul. Took a couple of attempts to get the shape right. 
 

An 8 panel newsboy is next on the the cards.

Is there a Belafonte Ragtime thread on here?

Blatant plug for masks i've been making...

The problem you're going to have is the cuff vent. Presumably it has a rivet at the top of it?

Thanks guys. I might sneak a message to mr H on Instagram. See if he can shed further light.

Hey Carl. Couple of pics. I also picked up another used pair from yahoo auctions to be kept in reserve for when this pair expires. 
 

there was a horizontal line of contrast stitching across each pocket, but I unpicked it.

Hey everyone. I just struck out on sizing some TCB 50’s and have decided to drown my sorrows by trying a pair of 800xx. I was wondering what anyone’s experiences are with how much thr one rinse XX waist will stretch? I’m trying to size it so after stretch, the waist will sit between 16.5 and 17 inches across. Looks like 33 may be the way to go, but just wanted to confirm with the experts! Appreciate any help!

I’m. Thinking of selling my 800s, size 33. Barely worn. Dm if interested.

I picked these Used rising sun HBT trousers up a few months ago from yahoo auctions and during lockdown they’ve become my ‘go too’s’. Really really comfortable. Having had a root around, I can’t find any details of them. Model name etc. 
 

anyone got any clues?

I also use Grailed mostly but the percentage increase does mean that you should factor in losing 12% in fees into your price. Overall though I've found most buyers to be relatively easy to deal with. The main advice is to clearly put in the description "final sale, no returns". Recently I've had a couple people try to wiggle their way into doing a return because they didnt like the fit. 

Are there not any Facebook groups for selling ‘our’ kind of stuff? Plenty of groups for all sort of vintage etc so why not repro, vintage inspired, heritage, whatever?
