    ^Possibly? On your second point, l've seen quite a few black and white westerns, usually 40s or 50s, where the main and/or secondary characters are wearing what looks to be either a light tan/mustard or brown generic type one or type two, sometimes with metal buttons but mostly with sewn on types. Your comment above reminded me particularly of Jimmy Stewart in Winchester '73.

    Hollywood cowboy 1950's. Quite obviously a Lee Riders 101J but for some reason the Lee Riders buttons have been replaced by what looks like sewn on black buttons. Even the cuffs have two on each! But then the Lee black tag on the pocket has been removed, maybe something to do with advertising?

    Anybody here help me with more info on this Wrangler book release on lg? Just wondering how good is the content as l've never seen a dedicated Bluebell Wrangler archive book before.

    On behalf of me and wonder-mod Martin/Maynard, thanks all for the lovely birthday wishes ☺️

    Been wanting a series one landrover for years, especially one of the 1948 pre-production models. So l was ecstatic to find this model BNIB Corgi Vanguards 1:43 scale 60th anniversary model (2008) - only 30 quid.

    Thanks Paul. Bought myself a series one landrover. Pics tomorrow hopefully. My son bought me a new sealskinz hat and left me a roughly scribbled note on a bit of ripped up paper saying "happy birthday dad, see you tomorrow". No card this year and didn't see him at all. Life

    Miss Paul T here sometimes. Always good lvc info's and great stories. Lovely bloke in person. Back in 2009 he gave me a signed copy of (one of) his books after my ex-wife left after only (luckily) being a member here on sufu for just a few weeks. Denim destroys lives people.

    All true of course but how does anyone know if l'm better-looking than you though Martin, as apart from myself and Mr B nobody knows your true identity 😁 Hope you had a great day yesterday.

    I'm sorry l don't know who you people are and why you think it's my birthday

    Big Happy Birthday to @Maynard Friedman - without a doubt the best moderator in the known denim world !

    Baggy is in apparently, Heech junior is either rocking my old FW47'S that are four sizes too big or a pair of 80s Carhartt carpenter/painter pants, and like you said, all pulled in with the belt. He's got all my 'old vintage' tees and tops too, mostly TKmaxx finds some fifteen years old now and my old Denimbruin tee l got from Mr Randall. Good to see stuff still being reused .

    Well remembered Neal, l am impressed. Yeah still going strong, they are my Roy OG's from 2010. Funnily enough my son recently wore them to cart a load of paving slabs, hollow block and hard-core round from next doors, as they're moving and this stuff was excess to his requirements. The red crossover stitch was to match the Roy chainstitch signature on the inside front pocket 😁

    My Mrs did this for me on my vintage Bluebell Wrangler jacket. Still holding up well after 6 years or so.

    Why don't you wear that lush rust colour FW flight jacket. Never see you in a fit pic with it 🙂

    Funnily enough Chevy Chase appeared in a music video by Paul Simon back in the 80's, the name l think was 'You can Call me AL'. I was a big fan of Chevy Chase films back in the day.

    Warehouse

    Dr_Heech replied to Medine's topic in superdenim

    Thanks. I don't mind his wartime S501XX type repros but his buckleback models aren't as well researched imo. Also what love about Warehouse in particular is that you can unpick the arcs so they can look more like true repros.

    Thanks, just as l thought. I already have this model though, albeit @beautiful_FrEaK's old Csf pair.

    Seconded! @CharlieMike Is the 41 DSB the same as the supposedly Hinoya exclusive 1941 model do you know denim-wise? And l take it the 1942 is a WW2 model and not the 1942 buckleback? Cheers

    ^ 🤣 Yeah Neal, get in that rocking chair and start singing "tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree..."
  20. Dr_Heech
    ^nodding my head in agreement *head nodding emoji*
  21. Dr_Heech
    This is my experience also (l have both models in size XL) - but l do wish they had made the set in sleeve model neck width a tad bigger, similar to the size of the freedom sleeve.
  22. Dr_Heech
    ^Beautiful spot
  23. Dr_Heech
    Surprised Maynard hasn't made anything out of this yet 😉 Nice catch Neal. Reminds me of when l was a kid (11 or so) when my dad brought a poachers rod back from the States - basically a 1970's extendable rod, something you couldn't get here at the time - and we used to hang above the bridge in the nearby village just hooking brown trout mostly with ease before the old gamekeeper attempted to stop us. After a quick getaway we would get home and mum would roll her eyes at us before cooking them up. Yum.
  24. Dr_Heech
    Yes l love both items regardless (freewheelers 1942 tux) and can talk about it now without further trauma. I like you should have probably thought abit more about the tax side of things but held it to chance. This sort of thing used to happen regularly back in the early 2000's especially when buying second hand heavy flight jackets for example. I think every third purchase got held at Parcelfarce's Gloucester depot with a whopping fee to pay before release. They've got you over a barrel in these circumstances so what's a guy to do?

    @UkeNo if it makes you feel any better, this happened with my last (and possibly final) denim purchases from japan last year. I asked for the insurance to be covering my purchases (£510) but didn't expect the tax to be so high. Ended up paying a whopping £178 extra in tax and duties. It still stings a bit when l think about it but l guess it's God's way of saying "enough denim!" 😂
