aw poor Euros

ya why I decided to join.. try things your way

also...

umbilical cord detached, first this patch is way too cool to become illegible, 2nd when I showed my mother my jeans had my "name" on them she almost cried... oh no, and 3rd I do this to all my Levi's anyways.

interestingly, the patch has some adhesive on the back, I would imagine it really helps when trying to get it sewn on. You can see it'sewn on pretty early in the process. I didn't really want to have to redo the waistband stitching so I just decided snipping it was easier + remnant of the patch seemed cool.

yeah the pair Aho showed from ooe sewn up with the denim showed no whiskers... we'll see what happens I guess!

Anyone seeing much roping yet?

Usually see some immediate effects on STF but these haven't moved at all yet. Any previous ooe wearers want to chime in?

Had this OTA antenna zipped tied to the rail because I couldn't find a good mount. Finally found a great one on ebay for $20 and it was so easy to setup. Now my antenna isn't going to budge in the wind

Simple tools of the trade

silouette is legit

also funny story, this carpet is pure wool, this old senile lady installed this $75,000 carpet like 15 years ago before her daughter decided enough was enough.

Just the first pair of A.P.C.s I wore. They turned out beautifully. Back when Mauro would still discount them down to $85, what a deal...

Don't have anything too rare yet..

Noticed the jeans don't show a lot of blue right now. Very dark compared to my Warehouse.

Parents are moving so they are trying to get rid of some stuff. Took some quick snaps of some Gail Pittman pottery for eBay. Here are a few pieces:

Ya these jeans really shrink so much ( and stretch so much) . My 35 measured 16" after 2 washes.

Now they are comfortably stretched out to 17" where I think they'll more or less stay.

I think these jeans have just the right amount of anti-fit for me. They are very classic looking without looking too out of place among modern fits.

Jeremy... how do I get into the typewriter game??? haha.

My handwriting is so terrible on letters it takes me forever. Maybe a typewriter would bridge the gap between efficiency and the personal touch.

Would definitely recommend the two wash method. The 2nd wash shrank them down a lot more. I waited till they were completely dry in between.

Also I somehow shipped these to my parents on accident and luckily they are home this week.

I would have been disappointed watching the weekend's excitement go by with no jeans!

Fit great, love the brown weft. I think they will end up a little shorter than I usually wear them but I'm gonna try to wear them hard in the summer so that will be a good thing I thi nk.

One wash so far, think I'm going to be doing one more. That's been my stf process lately.

So did BiG lose / give up their Real McCoy's account?

Or is S&S's claim to being the only RMC account only temporary while BiG finds other real estate?

^ I believe S&S is still awaiting initial receipt of the jeans which are coming from Japan

maybe I am misunderstanding but I thought the jeans had cleared US customs which I assumed was in California?

Now they are going from there to Oakland where S&S is.

This seems unusually long for a package to make it from one part of california... to another.

No need to panic. Box location is known, and in motion towards us. No USPS employees got free jeans this month!

No worries think we're just giving you a hard time

ya well get me in touch with the tortoise they commissioned !

these being sent by ems or what? possible we could see them at the end of this week?

How does S&S usually ship? I prefer USPS due to my mail box but whatever is fine I guess.

Sad I'm going to have to put my blackxblue on hold for 18months for the ooe contest I got myself into.

But I think that will work out well. These dark jeans are good for winter. Hot in the sun..

Been breaking them in as hard as I can this past month. Hopefully it will be enough to look good in pictures, I think they are pretty hard to photograph.

I still think it's really cool the bandana pockets have whisker fades on them too.

I'm really afraid to wash them though, not too hot on that pair posted on the website, that blue is a little weird, was hoping to have more contrast before the first wash, so if you guys have any more washed pairs to share, please do!

what mountain is that

I think I can see Arapho and a B so Arapaho Basin I'm assuming

ya, no newspapers with 4/1 needed

How do those Farmer boots fit Kiya, seems like slim chance they'd fit me if I'm a 10.5

ya I lost 15lbs for these jeans. Let's go!
