How about: What Are You Trying to Avoid Wearing Today? (WAYTAWT)

(it's raining)

White's

LVCJ 33

Bar T

Levi's

Jason, that really sucks. Is it the waist or the thighs that are the problem? The waist on mine stretched back out to it's original size pretty quickly, but I can see the thighs being more problematic.

Awesome, Beatle! But why'd you have to pick such an obscure outfit? Maybe if I dig around in the bottom of my closet...

LVCJ '33 501s soaking and post soak, around four months.

Hands down the best page of WAYJDT ever. Part of what makes Superfuture so great (when it is), and what makes this arguably the most interesting thread on the whole site.

Where else you going to see a grindcore concert, natural Singapore, a super-high-end denim shop, suburbia + outreach work in Uganda so well documented and commented upon back to back?

Awesome. Repped where I was able, wish I could rep all of you, especially the diminutive Steve McQueen of non-governmental organizations.

My jeans & I walked through the Haight today:

We saw a number of highly disturbing things:

A necklace made by my friend Ms. Audra, at her shop Loved To Death. She tells me she gets the parakeet parts from a local bird breeder, from birds who have died of natural causes. She freezes them and taxidermies them as she had time and incorporates them into necklaces, brooches & rings. I shit you not.

At another shop, taxidermied ducklings:

And most disturbing of all, this display stand outside of a make-your-own-Tshirt shop:

WTF?

Wait... i have some perfectly worn in 33s? How did i go about not knowing this and how come they aren't in my closet?

Ah- my bad. Warehouse 660s. Credit revoked. Shoulda kept your mouth shut, eh?

riff, pomata, therelativity- perfection as always. Therelativity- what''s the black jacket?

PaulT- damn, you even manage to pull the man-bag off without looking effete. Even Japanese guys almost never get away with that.

Erk- can't tell you how much I love that second photo.

Roy can't rep but would if I could any photos after they dried?

Here are the dried '33s. They shrank up a little more than I had hoped on this second soak (four months in), and were a bear to get on to dry. They are pretty tight at the waist now, and the crotch is a bit tight, but they fit fine everywhere else. I was tempted to retire these as work jeans, so as to avoid crotch blowout, but I psyched myself up by looking at those pics of The Clerk's and Rnr's perfectly worn in '33s (those latter should get put on the LVC thread), and went on ahead on Friday.

Jesus, these things are stubborn.

What the hell, Rnr, suddenly you are no longer a No Face person? What's the occasion?

I like it.

Ducks looking good. They been getting any wear?

Roy can't rep but would if I could any photos after they dried?

I'll take a pic tomorrow, but they are dissapointingly slow, despite getting such regular use. Maybe it's the denim- it's apparently not the Cone mills denim used on the US '33s.

Rnr- the rustier button is second up from the bottom on the placket. All of the buttons have some rust & patina, but this one is a lot more gone, for some reason.

The jacket had some bleach work done on it at some point- I wonder if that could have accelerated the process? The rest of the jacket is in really solid shape.

LVCJ '33s soaking after approximately 4 months of continuous weekday wear (gardening).

Rain day+vintagetype3jacket+macrolens=denimporn

Sewed these on myself. Chunky bakelite looking buttons with embroidery floss. I took the floss through each button several times.

I lost one button last year and had to replace but, but the others have all held up well.

Washington Square Park. 90+ Degrees...

Must be nice. It's raining like hell at home.

I've heard many euphemisms, "his collection" is a new one...

I believe almostnice is referring to my belief that you should have closet privileges with your internet boyfriend- before your fingers start typing, Paul, I mean that you should get to wear their clothes with impunity when you're in the same city.

Anyway, what was this thread about again? Oh right, ROY jeans.

I know a bunch of people here have gotten theirs, where are the pictures of you all wearing them in? Working, doing fun stuff, you know, living in them.

Unless you ladies were just buying for your collections?

Rnr, we've only seen the ducks once. Why don't you get your girlfriend to take a picture of you actually doing something (besides playing pocket pool) in them?

wonder who this will be?

I'd been trying to make inroads on Dr_Heech, but he doesn't appear to be having it. Sigh.

Is that your pair, roy6?

No, that's almostnice's.

Subscribed! now what to get embroidered when i order my pair??? Hmmmmmmmmmm

ROY tells me this is a very popular request lately:

I hear "no" is also a pretty good time.

- Concorde

- Child who just learned how to say "airplane!" and said it a thousand times in the museum

- Samurai 0500

Cute. Has she learned how top say "what's that?" yet? A kid in the barbershop this weekend had just learned that one. I loved it, but his father looked somewhat over it.

(From Saturday)

My jeans and I went out into SF Bay on a friend's housebarge to see Kaboom.

A steezy teenage girl's (can girls be steezy? Guys only?) Frye boots.

Being at sea is no excuse to not do it sufu style.
