We all know you’re a nerd about anything you like enough - denim, bikes, wood, bathrooms, tents, anything Sheffield related (😴), turmeric (FFS!) - it’s in your DNA, so stop pretending and give ‘em a try. If they’re not hardwearing enough, I’ll send you my ‘Neasden Polytechnic’ t-shirt that you can wear for work 😆

Excellent Duke. As an electro-dance style track, I always preferred this (12” version) to Blue Monday

Just checking… I have Fila, Sergio Tacchini and Ellesse and I can throw in some Diadora Borg Elites for good measure.

He looks like Iggy Pop these days 😆

Isn’t that Fabio?

Neal, you don’t have to immerse yourself in all that coffee snobbery. We buy bags of coffee beans (Caffè Borbonne Miscela Blu) from a local Italian deli, grind them in a Magic Bullet and use a Bialetti stove top. We gently heat organic full fat milk from the farmers market in a saucepan and pour it into a bog standard glass cafetière and froth it by holding the lid and gently pumping the plunger up and down (a friend who worked in catering showed us this trick). Once done, give the milk a tap and swirl in the cafetière and pour gently into your coffee. You can vary the amount of coffee and milk if you prefer latte, cappuccino, etc. For a quick fix, I’ll just have a coffee bag (loads of options around now) and either drink it black or add a splash of cold milk. EDIT: we always use water that has passed through our Berkey filter.

I see it more as more of a battle than a mere contest. #WomBat

That’s one of the others, there are multiple, it’s a family tradition.

Voice-of-Reason is my middle name. The upside of all the above is that many of the Denimbro crowd migrated back/over to Sufu and here we all are again, a big happy denim family!

^ This is how I wear mine, I’m a traditionalist. Now I’ll wait for the usual hecklers to ask me to show them the fit pics… EDIT: fantastic photos @buler, thanks for sharing them.

^ I’ve bought from that seller in the past. It’s a store and the descriptions and measurements are usually very accurate.

^ I have a pair of these Red Wing Chelsea boots in ebony harness leather (not my photo).

Here we go… couldn’t wait a whole 3 months for another pair of Pizza jeans! 😆

Agreed. They look good, keep ‘em PBT.

Banned! Criticism of moderators will NOT be tolerated. 😆

I think I might implement some of that moderating style over here…🤔

^ it’s amazing the lengths some people go to over buying a pair of jeans. They probably spend less time and effort than this when buying a house! 😂

I’m eagerly awaiting the first request for a 44W and sub-20L!

^ Why wasn’t I consulted on this first?! 😆

@Broark and @Dr_Heech should know, they were the moderators who oversaw the entire culling 🤣

^ This is an interesting concept and I must’ve missed (or simply forgotten) that discussion on Denimbro - I think we can mention it by name. I might have to take a look and see who suggested it! Those pocket bags also look similar to those on my Sugar Cane slack denim pair although I think they may be slightly different. I can’t be bothered to check right now though as they’re stored in a cupboard in a ziplock bag along with a gazillion other unworn pairs 😬 EDIT: found this photo online, the fabric is different.

^ I keep them in a Corby trouser press

What are WMJ buttons?
