Vanquish Gold

I am seriously in love with the natural brown showing through the black.. which is pretty common with both chromexcel

and mexcel leather.. right?

Reminds me of those extreme evisu pieces where the seagulls are flying all over the place. Tried too hard.

Awesome Doxa.. beautifully aged..

Nice.  Looks like you've gotten some good wear on these.  Barrie last?

Grant Last. Flexible enough to wear them to office.

Thanks - is that good or bad

How about awesome? Hehe

Cucoo, you look time-travelled.

sex sells? 

Price of Wabash shirt dropped! 

Just gotten my S.F.K tea core leather belt from Taiwan. Beside the high quality leather which can be seen and felt during the first touch, the hand forged buckle (brass / copper) simply takes my breath away.

bump!!!!

Bump!

Jumping on the cordovan bandwagon.. they are definitely on the sleek side which is something that I need to get used to. It is amazing how the hue of the leather changes with lighting.

bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The arcs, the exposed selvage and all the different buttons ruin it for me. pocket bags and lined pockets are cool. I also like the Lee rivets. Hopefully they will do the 511 cut in a more traditional manner soon.

 

I also think you can only get those jeans in the HQ store

Totally agreed... exposed coin pocket selvage is pretty corny 

This UES denim is fading nice and fast... too bad I have gotten the wrong fit  

Bump!!!!!! New stuff

Great job! Will the tan leather beneath show through the back dye after some time? Or has the black dye penetrated deep enough so that it will remain black (or at most greyish) throughout its lifetime?

I went for another spinning cycle in the washing machine, the jeans did shrink a little bit more but after 4 hours of wear I am back at the same stage : (

they're definitely too big for me. 

I am sorry to jump out of the boat before it leaves but I think there's no point in joining the contest for me atm, with a pair that doesn't fit well. I couldn't guarantee the level of commitment and extensive wear that a good contest deserves.

the jeans are for sale, should I sell them soon i will get another pair in a size 34 and join the contest at a later time. I don't want to get back exactly the same money I spent, so for all the stout W36 guys out there, if you want to buy 'em just make me an offer i could not refuse!

they're fantastic quality and a beautiful cut.

 

@ B_F I will get in touch with Lee and tell him about this.

Guys I am having the same problem too, went for nearly a month worth of wear and it just doesn't fit me right. Tried real hard to make the fit work but the hip swell is really too overwhelming after stretch. I really envy Thin Finn's fit!

Fast fading, great for weekend warriors like me lol

Yes that's a nice fit b_F! Second that geL! The mobility that I can enjoy in my UES is really what I am loving every time I put them on. On top of that, my stomach tends to bloat quite frequently due to my gastric condition and it's a blessing to be able to put on a 100% cotton denim (which I have not sized up) and still be able to feel comfortable at the same time. Somehow the top block just works very well for me except for the slight hip swell but then again that's where the comfort for movement comes from.        

Vanquish; I may pick up the D066X or 76 myself; which one did you pick up?

did you get TTS?

Hey sorry man, I picked up a t shirt from them not denim lol... 

Absolutely adore the tag! 

SOLD

Damn... hope you can get it back soon. I feel for you man..
