Thanks @beautiful_FrEaK so ¥42,000 which includes tax and free shipping but only in one wash, if l've understood correctly?

What's the price for the 43 jeans @Broark do you know?

@beautiful_FrEaK the pocket stamp is a nice little added touch.

Dry stone wall shenanigans!

Yes Martin, it's a common situation., as it's easier to replace the expensive dry stone wall with a half price wooden fence. Glad in this instance at least that the local councillors are trying to reverse this decision. 

Unluckily for me, my fibroma (lumps) on my feet are slowly getting worse and drystone walling isn't something l can do without paying for it in terms of pain. I do the odd repair but that's about it. Shame.

With an average of 10,000 to 20,000 steps a day, being a Green keeper is hard enough feet-wise as it is!

Ah well, such is life eh? 😬

@Bobbo maybe you could take some pics of your original vintage pieces for us sometime mate? Whenever you get time  There's at least 2 pairs of 501's and that Lee jacket that we need more photos of in the vintage thread 😍 if you would be so kind.

^agreed. And the conners are looking great too!

That shirt is 1980's @Leevi's so not original big E.

You definitely are… and all your gardens are hand-trimmed and your walls are hand-nailed… in the traditional fashion!

Thanks mate!

Remember someone asking about the pocket bags so thought l'd take a few pics of the inside whilst it's still light. They're made from lighter weight denim with M44 and #1479 stamped on them (barely visible now).

(Interestingly @beautiful_FrEaK, my M41's are #1482 so only a few pairs between them).

Hidden rivets are steel and rivets are plain copper. All the stitch is yellow apart from along the top of the coin pocket, which is a peach colour.

Edit. For some reason, pics 2,3 & 4 are sideways here. Annoyingly not my doing.

Thought l'd get some shots of my newly hemmed M44's, thanks to @Mr Black at Soas. When l got them done some months ago, stupidly l forgot to keep the old cut off pieces for possible patching and left the shop without them. The new hems are pre wash but already showing some good roping. Will take some after wash pics and compare them to my freshly washed M41's at some point.

Our local shopping centre, which is tiny really even after the recent refurb, now boasts an Artisan butchers and an Artisan bakery, along with a new food court (hey whatever floats your boat) - Thing is, in the old precinct we had a regular butcher and a baker, they weren't given the added 'title'. So now wondering, as l dragged my arse through 6 years of art school many moons ago, if l am now an Artisan green keeper (or waller)?

Thoughts...

My son now wears my old FW47's ☺️  They were purchased from Duke's mate. They are TTS. I can still wear em but cannot get anything much in the pockets, so not functional. He looks good in them, with his vintage Nike sweat and Jordans.

Now he's got his eye on my stormrider too.

Just nodding my head at certain posts and shaking my head at others as usual. Nothing really to say or add apart from (and l'm channeling my inner Sergent Murtagh/Danny Glover character here), that l'm getting too old for this shit.

Have we got a tumbleweed emoji ?

Then in that case, l nominate @beautiful_FrEaK @Maynard Friedman and @Broark for all the above reasons 😛

That's a shame Doc, next time!

Absolutely! Luckily the London contingent are coming to stay in the cotswolds. I'm sure one of the London lads will hook up with you?

Just booked a trip to London around Christmas / New Years, will be spending a few days there and in Paris, maybe Bruges or another place that's easily accessible by rail.
Let me know if anyone wants to grab a pint or if you have any suggestions for a third spot to visit.

Typical, lve had the last two Christmases off but have to work it this year, otherwise I would've loved to come and meet up for a couple.

I know that Sugarcane have stopped putting tabs on their jeans a while ago, but l was hoping for one on this pair as they are directly copied from a pair of S501XX. I can go with no arcs as they are a war model, but no tab might make it a deal breaker for me. Shame.

@silencejoe What have you got there then? 

Agreed, so so good. l enjoy the coveting of items such as this, many thanks Mike.

[Edit] @Duke Mantee is that a tab? No surely not. Trickery of modern technics perhaps?

Could do with seeing that beautiful BL 213 of yours again soon @Duke Mantee 

Supposed to be the remnants of storm Lee today, according to the Met Office. Bit disappointing actually, came home to a garden covered in the usual debris, but not one buckleback jacket or a single pair of Lee riders to be seen.

@smoothsailor they are the infamous "wrong patch" 1901's from 2008. Basically lvc put out a 1901 with a patch from a pair of one pocket 1890 501's. 

@beautiful_FrEaK still a good fit though. I've lost a bit of weight so lm swimming in mine ATM, not that l have been wearing them lately. In fact l think l can honestly say that lve worn jeans less than 5 times since May as it's so warm. But l suppose at least autumn is in the pipeline so can't be long before I get the chance!
