  1. Unintended fourth wash and they surprisingly shrank a bit more especially in length and overall width despite being steady after washes 2 and 3. They actually fit quite perfect for me now though and tightened up in all the right places.
  2. Personally putting a freeze on pretty much any superfluous spending at this point, unfortunately denim included. Though I'm sure we all have enough denim as is 😅
  3. @shredwin_206 have you ever broken in Eternals or SDA? Some famously stubborn denim, I'd be curious to see what you could do to them 😆
  4. Damn that's rich 🥲 I'm sure they're well worth it knowing the amount of development and small batch nature of everything from the fabric to the construction and details, and the fact that Ryo and Hiro deserve some coin at the end of the day. Congrats to who I'm pretty sure we all are thinking it is that bought them though, looking forward to the details and pictures 😂 Also, I can't complain given that I probably average a couple pairs a year which would add up to ~$500 realistically
  5. So wait, did you get a pair in each of the Amoskeag fabrics? Well done if so, what I would've done as well
  6. ^Sad I missed out but I'm hopeful the Amoskeag fabrics will make it to another pair/cut soon, more readily available...
  7. Sorry for the multi post, forgot this one: Some nice light blue hues coming through in certain lights which is always hard to pick up on camera
  8. That post grocery golden hour (featuring peaks of fading)

    Some wild 221s https://www.instagram.com/p/DIJVPTkza3K/?igsh=YTN2ZGo0dHI0dW9u
  10. 1937 cut now in Super Smooth fabric https://www.instagram.com/p/DIBNMG9RIfA/?igsh=a3FteGFlN2M5Znlr
  11. All you @Broark, looks great, hope you can get a hookup from Inspiration!: https://www.instagram.com/p/DIAvBvNTIPj/?img_index=1 Also new pair of 50's jeans: https://www.instagram.com/p/DIA43oDzRSZ/?img_index=1
  12. ^For me creasing set in quickly, but I'm also thinking my unintended extra wash from the get go (3 total at this point) helped ease things up because they weren't showing much wear until then. I was planning on holding out for as long as possible between washes for higher contrast, but now I'm thinking I'll just wash whenever/regularly since the creasing is set (and admittedly the faster these fade, the sooner I can get to my new Ooe's lol)
  13. Every new pair from Ooe is my new favorite pair of jeans ever, and this time is no exception. Sized up to 40 as my size 38s have been a bit tight, and it's the perfect fit. Like my WOMCON's but tightened up in all the right areas. Will be hard not wearing these during the contest, but these will probably be my main jeans overall the next 10+ years they're that good for me.
  14. ^I mean GOT DAMN, time to wrap up sufu, we've hit the peak 🙏
  15. Good timing, just saw these pop up: https://www.instagram.com/p/DHxsGl4vkcO/?img_index=1 https://www.instagram.com/p/DHvXgpEvKFY/?img_index=2

    Much appreciated, great feedback! Also wanting something a bit lighter but don't want to drop over $300 USD on the No. 2 Blouse or Good Luck jacket 😅

    Interested in the 20's jacket but could go either 46 or 48 based on measurements. Given the extra shrinkage factor of the 20's fabric, does anyone know if the post wash measurements on the TCB site are reflective of max shrinkage, or do you figure there'll be more with subsequent washes? https://tcbjeans.myshopify.com/collections/jackets-1/products/pre-order-20s-jacket
  19. Supersole's come up on factory seconds every so often, definitely worth the jump if you know your sizing. Unfortunately none at the moment https://berkeleysupply.com/collections/red-wing-heritage-factory-seconds
  20. T-Backs have gone wild in the vintage space the past few years, fueled by Berberjin adjacent hype, so it's not surprising! Been looking for one myself, so quite interested in picking this up, thanks for the link @Maynard Friedman

    Got mine in 2022 so whichever HBT was being used at the time! Will get back to you shortly!

    I can measure my 38's for you in a bit! Haven't actually worn mine either since buying as I think I could go up to 40. I'm concerned with crotch blowout, though the fit through the leg otherwise is probably the best out of any jeans I own.
  23. Funny enough, I've adopted those elastic Arcade brand belts for such purposes 😅
  24. Not much more praise I can offer Ooe than I've done throughout this thread but they're my favorite as well, easy. The top block is somehow the most comfortable of all brands for me, which somehow sits near my fluctuating gut in the perfect position whereas most others cause gastro-discomfort 😂 Will also second that their non-standard Levi's cuts with higher rises are also great for me; I rotate the Mechanic Overalls often. Hopefully some who were aiming for the WWII's were able to get them!
  25. Turns out I need to have a kid to have a chance at winning this contest!
