Any of you guys wearing a pair of size 39 02s? I thought I remembered seeing a pair among the contest submissions. 

 

 

I have that size in an 03.  Would that help at all?

Same. Been like it for a week(ish)

 

Not that it makes any difference, ooe don't sell jeans

 

 

Drats, still no word eh? 

Does FabFour ship to the United States?

 

 

a few years ago this was possible

quit my job, burned some bridges, etc. etc.

 

In your work, can you just say, "Fuck a job"? (sic)

 

I forgot mumble was on when I had my girlfriend over. So a bunch of my friends listened in. i am never living this down. 

 

Why not?  You had a girl over and mumbled; fuck em.

 

 

 

 

 

Wow.

 

Kill the Frampton leather, the roach clips, and the crochet-by-number cap...and that's quite a wife.  That's digging through a lot to get there too.

You're too small for me.  Depending on how deeply you get with early-mid 2000's CGC I'm looking for some stuff.

I can see the drying placing quite a strain on the threads.  Well, not the drying as much as the stretching after drying.  I stretched these once across the waist with a reverse clamp because they were made so far under spec.  Even now the whole upper block is snug (thus the stitch job down the center).  However, my washing routine since then has been by hand, in tepid water with no machine drying.

 

A backstitch across that yoke would be your best bet and would really be an impressive repair.

Wow aho.  What are you using to wash?  Are you still using surfactants?  Simon, you have had some thread failing also -- how are you washing those? 

 

It's odd to me.  I beat the piss out of mine every day.  My work subjects them to probably the harshest conditions possible short of spontaneous rips (although that did happen to me with this pair), burn-throughs, or permanent stains.  The shit has held on my pair.

I was fortunate enough to receive a leftover hem of Tender overdye from satchelbmoore, for patching purposes.  I used half as an inside patch on my Ooe Yofukuten contest jeans.  Those jeans already need more patching so I will probably use the rest of the overdye as an outside patch to enjoy the fades.

 

Here is the hem torn open, showing the difference between dye jobs.  I apologize for the crap lighting.

 

 

 

The patchwork

 

 

Ooe Yofukuten 9103 contest jeans, 11 months.

 

 

Nice work, Flash.  Those are fading really, really well.

 

August updates.

 

The knee with the small hole blew severely so I patched it.  The patch fabric is Tender & Co. overdye, acquired as a hem remnant from satchelbmoore.  Thanks Satch!

 

Here is a "vivisection" of the Tender overdye with the un-overdyed hem ripped open (sorry for the low light):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some other details

 

Pocket stitching repair

 

 

 

Rear block.  I shored up the center seam with a stitch on both sides but it was because of fabric tension, not thread failure.

 

 

 

The other knee has blown now too.  I may do an outside patch with the other piece of Tender overdye to see how it fades.  Should have a quick idea, if used on a knee.

 

I'm sorry to hear about others' thread woes.  My WWII threads continue to impress me, although they do now need occasional attention.  It's regrettable that it has been failing for others and I can only wonder why.

^ dear american airlines is pretty great

Fuck yes.

 

Thank you.  If you stop reading after the possum tale, you have a hole in your soul.  *and the translation work is often hilarious.

 

Be sure to read Sweet Thursday for more of Mack and The Boys.

 

Re-re-reading these...I need some new books.  Dear American Airlines is the last new thing I really liked.

 

 

 

^Funny, reminds me a few months back I was in Washington DC and was approached by two guys that asked if I was wearing APC's. I told them it was a "small Japanese brand" upon which they said "Momotaro?". I replied "Ooe Yofukuten" and they looked puzzled. They asked how many months I'd been wearing them and # of washes because they were very light and not contrasty. I told them 6 months of wear but I wash frequently. Puzzled again they moved along...

 

I know I told the tale about the superdry dude at Super America (a prominent convenience store).  He was wearing all superdry and wasn't interested in talking about anything -- no small talk or bullshitting at all, which I'm really big on.  He saw my cuffs and immediately asked what they were.  I told him and it was so obvious that he was just baffled.  But he said, "Oh, those are nice too."

 

That all the fucking guy said!  That's pretty much the whole conversation.

Simon, I love it man. 

i just found some pair of 5010xx (the old version) in 30 in my closet that have been worn between 5 and 10 times (i think..)

i bought them around 5 years ago and they are in perfect condition. how much might i get for them now? don't even remember how much they were lol. 

hopefully someone else can break them in - they are just to great to end up in the trash

 

By old do you mean Texas?  If you are a large man, 35-36, let's talk.

 

Actually this sounds familiar.  Are they 30-31?   If you are talking with my buddy Jordan about selling those to him, he is a solid dude who will close the deal, no issues, and if he needs a paypal proxy I'm it.
