Yes, but not as far as his pockets though, apparently.

Perhaps you’re just tall for your arm length @Geeman?

Unfortunately I sized down so am trying to s-t-r-e-t-c-h them out a bit.

My fingers have keyboard patina dontcha know? Sadly, my fingernails are probably my best feature 😆😪

Dust off your Timberlands if you still have them and they haven’t disintegrated. The 90s must be coming back around… I’ll bet @Geeman is dancing a jig to this news!

I’m not necessarily sure food is better now than a generation or 2 ago. With the proliferation of ultra-processed food, sugar, seed oils, additives, chemical fertilisers, genetically modified crops, and all the takeaway shit (now instantly available via Uber Eats, Deliveroo), etc and the resulting increased obesity, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, mental health issues, dementia and various other modern ailments, I think much of the modern diet is worse. The USA is probably ahead of the curve in terms of all this but much of the rest of the world (as usual) is quickly catching up.

Interesting article on place, globalisation, Instagram, algorithms and homogeneity (and how they all relate): https://www.theguardian.com/news/2024/jan/16/the-tyranny-of-the-algorithm-why-every-coffee-shop-looks-the-same

I heard rumours of a Denime fan who does the same thing… thanks for the interesting article @unders

I think @Broark meant to say that it’s his first pair for this year!

Neal, as a potential willing guinea pig to increase big pharma’s profits via drug trials, I thought you’d have been well up for having all sorts of damaging crap put into your body 🤣

I like the Tender boots posted on this page. I believe they’re made to Bill’s specifications by William Lennon.

For non or low alcohol beers (well lager), I like Lucky Saint and Peroni. Big Drop also do a wide selection, I particularly like their pale ale. Unfortunately much of the no/low alcohol market seems very sugary and calorific.

Your back pockets look a bit blurry and slightly different to how they look in a different thread! 🤔 Other than that, I think they may look better with a longer leg/lower cuff.

Go on then @Superstar. They look great already so I’d be interested to see what another 5 years has done to them (as long as they haven’t been hanging in a wardrobe all that time).

The flannel pockets look similar to those on the Sugar Cane slack denim. I’ll have to pull my pair out from the (still yet to be worn stash) and compare them.

I think they produce all of Sugar Cane’s denim. Paul T wrote about this in his Loomstate blog years ago.

Do the same again and you’ll be fine. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas denim peeps! 🎅 🎄

Put them in the washing machine at 40°C, with a slow spin and no detergent.

The 49s sound like a great compromise! 👍
