I'll have to get a pic of my pair, although l think they're heavily creased, which is what happens when there all folded up and lying on top of one another in a drawer or suitcase. May have to buy a metal rail or something similar.

Commission b_F to build you a denim-shrine

After looking about on the web and seeing the crazy prices for a decent metal one, l've decided to build my own with whatever l can find to hand.

Will post up the results when l get it done.

Whatever is in the cupboard......

 

Same here - usually Tescos non bio or bold 3 in 1.

However, l must admit that most of the time l rarely use detergent with jeans, just rinse them through on there own 

Condolences to both @bartlebyyphonics and @srudy  - hope the grief process is speedy for you both.

I spy some denim books in amongst that lot 

I am too a jacket junky  @MJF9 so l can totally understand mate.

^Blimey, and l thought l had a problem with 5 denim jackets. Seeing that post above makes me feel so much better  

They do look like decent repro Lee pre-war bucklebacks. Nice pick up @MJF9 - looking forward to seeing how these progress.

Can someone help me find these jeans without the massive mark-up?

As much as I love Son of a Stag - being based in the US makes it a little more expensive than I'm willing to go for.

Thanks!

  Soas prices are legendary!

Most peeps look around Soas and find what they want, get the sizing/product info they want and then shop around the web for the cheapest price. 

I've only ever used them for their hemming service.

Haha well l give it a go once or twice a year at best - not a natural poser like some of you more regular contributors

Many happy returns gents! You must have had big cakes to fit all those candles on

Mrs_Heech's solution - 5 candles on each

Ooops!

I just buy 55 small cupcakes and put a candle in each 

Looks like this fella is wearing a Lee 101J Cowboy jacket too. Think l've seen maybe 5 images from the 30's/40's with someone wearing what appears to be earlier style 101J's. Guess they were not as photogenic as the 506xx?

Happy birthday Charlie aka @Dr_Heech. You’ve caught up to me again!

Hope you had a good one yesterday, Martin and aren't feeling too shoddy?

Yes ... 55 today - thought about wearing my lvc 55's to match but since have dug out the SC47's so hopefully get a snap of them later in situ (Mrs_Heech is down so can take some as l'm bloody useless with the selfie taking )

47 definitely sounds better than 55 tho.

I'll have to get a pic of my pair, although l think they're heavily creased, which is what happens when there all folded up and lying on top of one another in a drawer or suitcase. May have to buy a metal rail or something similar.

Has anyone bought/considered buying the new SC blanket-lined Type 2 yet - SC15210?

It’s a good price. I just can’t justify another denim jacket so I’ll live vicariously through you.

Hey come on mate, time to stop living vicariously, especially on a day like today - it's your birthday ffs. Just have more alcohol and then drunk -buy a TTS fit size model only to be uber-regretful the following morning 

On a more serious note - At least the lining content is at last(!) true to the Troy Mills wool/rayon/cotton mix type blanket linings used in vintage denim jackets between c.1930 and the mid 1970's.

Already is one Chaz.. search ‘man stain on jeans’ 

Think that's more of how to remove man -milk stains from jeans, as opposed to the celebration/ showboating of said stains as an improvement of the jean aesthetic.

^Time for a 'Jeans that look better with jizz' thread, no??

@Maynard Friedman 

Happy birthday Martin !

@MJF9 He's got his chinos don't forget.
