White's

Got my Bounty Hunters back from White's. Took a little less than 2 weeks for a resole. Pretty happy with the work.

Thinking about putting my streaky denim Cougars up on ebay. Think I got them in 2009, but they were really tight then and don't fit now. That was before the earthquake that destroyed the shop. They have some cool details that Ande didn't include in his new designs.

Finally sent my bounty hunters in for a resole after almost 4 years. A little concerned about the vamp after cleaning and oiling them before shipping out.

3.5 years on these.

Yea, I was on the south side, right at the border of civilization and hickville.

I've never liked how Lee jeans have looked and always associated them with the dumbass hicks from my high school that wore cowboy hats and drove old raised trucks.

fav band atm

They say they source all fabric domestically and from White Oak. They allude to different fits and also rigid and stretch denim choices, but just have the one model atm I guess. Wouldn't expect hidden rivets at that price point, but would be nice.

Interesting. I just came across this company and they claim to be working with Cone to source their denim. https://www.backcountrydenim.com/

That's been me for a few years. After wearing raw indigo jeans for years, I was wanting a pair of black on black jeans and my favorite denim brand was out of stock, so I bought some Levi's 513 with elastane in them to tide me over. Well, they fit me perfectly and that little bit of stretch made a huge difference in mobility/comfort and I haven't really gone back to my raw. I just bought some more jeans that are designed for rock climbing, with even more stretch in them and a water repellent finish that'll be nice in the rain. :x Denim is getting new tech that I like. Still rock my Iron Heart flannels and White's boots every day, though.
