@julian-wolf there's just no way but I appreciate the words of confidence! 😅🙏 I'm for sure due an update (hopefully some good light this weekend); I was in Japan for a month and hoped all the walking would yield impressive updates, but alas, I found a perfectly fitting and faded pair of black 501's second hand a couple days into my trip, which I haven't been able to take off since! Glad to know we still have lots of time left

Picked up a pair of the banner denim 220XX-47's in Japan at the Warehouse flagship. Funny enough, I liked them more than the WH pairs I tried on 😂

Haha yeah this exactly, happens to me every time! Average 20k steps per day, smaller portion sizes, stopped working out (lost muscle mass), overall heat killed the appetite compounded by being there for over a month! Goal is to live there permanently by end of year, so hoping to keep off the weight long term

Lost a ton of weight in Japan and fortunately fit into my pair again, which also coincides with me wanting to wear slimmer cuts lately. I ordered mine around 2020, a '37 cut with a modern taper (like 2000's 501's) so I might be breaking them in again. Glad to finally get around to it!

Commentary etc. can be ignored, but wow at the 30:33min mark

@dylanbooth78 love me some CWC! Are they issued by any chance? I foolishly sold off my SBS but waiting to rebuy a non-date one (my favorite configuration though not issued spec).

Would echo b_F that what they're doing is interesting and should be more popular outside of Japan, but for whatever reason (probably the age of the brand compared to the established Osaka 5 etc.) I haven't deep dived. Even when I visit Tokyo I always manage to skip the shop even though it's in one of the most accessible areas on one of the busier shopping streets 😅 I would say their work with shirting and jackets is particularly admired in Japan though

^haha I swiped the same screenshot, glad to know I'm not the only denim creeper 😂

^Wow, sad to hear! Which one of us is going to take an apprenticeship to keep the mills going in Japan?

Seems to be the case for me, though I hang dry over night and pop them in the drier on low for 5-10 minutes in the morning for residual moisture in order to wear that day. Was hoping for more even fades, but regardless it's reflective of my lifestyle choices 😅

Forgive the crotch shot but jeans are looking wild

Just saw Resolute releasing two anniversary pairs: https://www.instagram.com/p/DKKf7mhOng-/?img_index=1&igsh=c3FsY201OXFwYng0
