  1. Not all Carharrts sold in the US are made in the US. There are some outlets which only stock USA union-made clothes, however. [source]

    Also, Tellason jeans are made of Cone denim in NC, then cut and sewn in SF.

    Word to WESCO boots. I have coveted a pair for a long time. Forever-Boots.

    I think all of the Woolen Mills stuff from Woolrich is made in the US.

    Also Crescent Down Works...

    This thread necessitates a shout-out to the UNIONMADE store in SF. Though not everything in the store is USA-manufactured, a whole heap of it is, and they are the sweetest guys ever.

    Oh, and if you need a knife, Benchmade or Chris Reeve's Sebenzas are hard to beat.

  2. Good Golly. What the heck are you doing in these (aside from drinking whiskey)? Skating?

    Biking in the rain/snow, accidents ensue. Someday I'll take and post pics of the bloodstains on the jacket ;) 21oz really does offer abrasion protection!

  3. Two or two-and-a-half months in, zero washes, 2 soaks.

    (too many images, cont. in next post.)

  4. Holy shit... that's amazingly fast fading. I may just have to get me a pair of these... You can definitely tell their an overdye if you cuff and show the weft/selvedge.

    Those look awesome! can you get us a shot of the selvedge close up?

  5. sorry all nudie haters. got these around 3 years ago before i found out about sufu, 2 years of real wear. sorry for the picture heavy post. please be patient with me as im still new to this forum thing.

    3 years 5 washes/no soak

    the lighting looks a little intense on the knees, but nice jeans!

  6. Dchill & Beatle you right guys. I'm half between the M and the L and it sucks so much.

    Chest & shoulder are alright. L would be too large. Well, i think i'm gonna send it back to the shop.

    anyway, thank you for the support guys

    If only this was the SExIH07 overdyed I would offer to trade you:rolleyes: I've got a size 44 and its just a touch too big in the chest for me, but looks like it would fit you better.... alas!

  7. my 501 STF Retirees, both made in columbia (w/ waistband tag), soaked and linedried to shrink.

    Pair on the left worn for 2 years or so, washed at least 4 times. Pair on the right subsequently purchased (a size smaller) and worked hard in for a year and a half with maybe 2 washes. The knees sure have a way of going on you... Will post better pics when I get a chance to take them.

  8. (TIMEWARP repost)

    Hi Guys! Went Born Tuff, Texas Tuxedo style... Indigo bottoms, III/o.d. black top. Approximately 3-4 weeks of wear on the pants and they are definitely fading faster than I thought they would. Appx. no wear on the jacket, will update when things begin changing. (Jacket sized a bit bigger than would be absolutely ideal but its been great layering with this blizzard in the northeast.)

    Fading anywhere the material is layered, even the selvedge line:
