I dig em.  Found them for sale here for $102, and that seems like too good a deal to pass up.

Really great-seeming jeans. This pair's actually still up for sale, if anyone wants it, with all of the original packaging & labels. Unworn besides a few quick times trying them on. More photos & details back on page 240 of this thread.

Thanks!

Does anyone have a fit pic of their 1955s?  I am thinking about pulling the trigger on a pair, but I never trust the fit pics on store websites, and can't seem to find too many user submitted ones.

New in box. Got these a while back, and ended up not needing them.  It's still in the shrink wrap it was mailed in.
Size 10.5 EE US.  Steel toe model.  $150 OBO shipped CONUS.

Pretty sure I already know the answer to this one, but want some confirmation.  If I wear a 30 in Okis, would I also be a 30 in Hawaii?  How about SC 1947 one wash?

We still have any traders out there?  Got some Jester King that could use a good home, and I'd like to provide a good home to some RISs.

I suppose I also have some less-exciting pictures of my Okis.

Persimmon-dyed Okis, 7ish months, 1 rinse.  Pictures suck, and the fading on these is super gradual (which is fine--just means I can pull them off with nicer outfits til the rivets break through)

And some regular Okis, 9ish months, 2 rinses.  Texas summer bicycle seat assfade.

When I get a sunny afternoon not spent at work I'll take some more photos.  Until then, here's a beer-dispensing unicorn Christmas fit pic (I'm the one wearing 3 kinds of denim):

And how many washes?

damn, how old is that beard?

One year, couple tub soaks, one ocean rinse, and a few rain storms.

New P.O.S. next month!

Just got a Fairdale Weekender! My first new bike as an adult.

I love it.

Pine hills wallet I got off Rakuten last December. I like it.

and a belt my roommate got me for my birthday around the same time

I like nice denim, but it's hot as fuck in Texas. So 9 months out of the year I just wear shorts. And I only have one pair, which are $10 Rustlers I bought for work pants a year and a half ago. Not the prettiest, but I've machine washed them probably a dozen times, given them a few rinses, gone swimming in them a lot, and gotten them super dirty.

"fit pic"

Been busy all summer, and I only wear my pants to work, so I have to make a point of it to get photos of them. Also, not much has changed. They were coming along pretty well until I did a (cold) machine wash. They're still making progress, but it's a lot slower now. Been wearing them ~50 hours a week or so, biking probably 20 miles a week in them. They're holding up pretty well aside from a tear at the cuff that I'll have to tend to. Sorry about the weird photos. Oh, and since I get this question every time I post, these are the black ones.

This is my "back yard," which is why I was limited in places to take photos

Is that that black or blue model?

Black.

....YES. did you machine wash?

Yeah. First machine wash (soaked 3 times prior). Cold/gentle. Not sure why there's so much crocking, but I dig it. I just don't think I'll be able to do another machine wash at all if I want to still wear them to work

Washed mine yesterday. I now have grey chinos. Sorry about the bad lighting. Sun was going down.

On my way to work. My friend spent her lunch break yesterday making my bike colorful and flashy, just like me.

every day! get it on!

i listen to greg proops, and doug benson's doug loves movies,too. how about you?

Every day, as well. I would love if his idea for "AIDS Butler" got made into a show. His is the only podcast I listen to frequently, but I listen to Alison's podcast some, too, and most of the time I catch "This American Life" it's via podcast. I tried to catch his stand-up in Austin last fall, but someone bought a shitload of tickets and then listed them on Stubhub for about triple face value, so I didn't go. Excited that he's started live podcasts again, though. I'd love to see a podcast tour.

Super jealous that you got to see the Ace man, Kansas. You listen to his podcast?

I'd love to try out the hemp denim, but skinny guy is a bit slim for my taste. Anyone know if the wierd guy will ever be available in hemp denim?

those are the black ones, no? i'm a little confused.

They sure are.
