devilish

^ Remember Mil-spec is always made by the lowest bidder.

I should maybe have asked about shrinkage on this thread before rinsing these ducks yesterday. They are now firmly a 34w instead of a 36.

Any slimmer blokes than me want to make an offer ?

I almost bid on those myself. They'd fit me now perfectly but I'm broke til after Christmas. Is the stain on the lap still noticeable after the rinse, that was kinda what put me off buying them.

Well, speaking of snow. This is coming back across the mountains from Reno to SF after Thanksgiving. Had to have chains on most of the way but weather only got bad right at the top. Pretty neat to look at though.

^ Yep, looks like Hipstamatic to me (could be Vignette for Droid), it's my favorite app by far. I love the 'analog feel' it gives to the pictures. I also like pairing it with SwankoLab and Vintagescene for some more interesting effects.

^ Styleforum is brutal. I can't believe how personal it get's over there sometimes.

^ for real. Seconding what Farhad said - I've never so obsessively posted in, much less checked, a thread.

For real, I'm not even on the list but this is the first thread I check now, I think it's this thread that's been crashing SUFU for the last week.

I'm sure there's a Oni thread somewhere but as this one was getting some traffic I thought I'd use it. Does anyone have fit picks of the Oni Handmade Ox Canvas Jeans that BiG has for sale right now. I am sorely tempted but I don't want anything with a low rise, looking for a more traditional 40's/50's fit. Any help appreciated.

I hate you all. I'm going on a ROY hunt on 1.2.11 and get a pair by mugging their current occupant. 4 people in CA better watch their backs Seriously though, is there some way to put this thread on 'ignore' because I can't take it anymore. Good Luck All.

I haven't heard back from everybody

Then they're too late and you should give their spot to other people

From being at an 'After Party' at a pro rodeo in Idaho last year, I can tell you that those guys all wore very tight Wranglers with a lot of stacking and almost all pale blue. I don't think I saw a single pair of Levis. It was a very surreal scene.

I love my 66's, they are the most comfortable and hairy pair of jeans I have. They seem very stubborn to let go of their indigo though. I like this personally and probably will end up giving some nice 'vintage' style fades.

Oh well. 10char

That's only 27, what happened to the other 3 pairs?

Yeah, if I'm lucky enough to get in I don't know how I'll tell the GF. She is pretty used to it by now though. I might have to liquidate some nice bike parts to cover the cost.

I would also like to say a big 'thank you' to all those involved in the effort of putting this together, you all rule and this is regardless of if I get a pair.

Oh damn, the suspense is going to kill me. I want to be in so bad.

If you tie them in a square knot by going the opposite way around with the loops they will never come undone. This video shows you how at one point.

So I tried my hand at making a chambray utility shirt. Easy enough right? Not as easy as it looks, but with a little determination and a seam ripper I was able to make something wearable.

I used a commercially available pattern and altered it a tad bit. Made the collars not so big, obviously re-patterned the pockets, and changed the cuff style.

cigarette pocket.

Utitlity pocket

Collar. I used some vintage selvage brown fabric I found on ebay. Kinda gauzy.

The placket. I used some black cat's eye corrozo buttons. I really like these buttons.

Close up of the button.

Cuffs. I went for a no-placket cuff kinda like the vintage big yanks.

A fabric close up. On expensive fabric someone might call this "loom chatter." On cheap fabric they call it a flaw.

And of course some fit pics.

Quoted to get this awesome shirt on another page and because I can't rep it again so soon. No ulterior motive at all I assure you

Pm'ed. What the hell, who needs food.

Wait, what? Is this really happening, a Roy contest? Details please.

Thanks to the fine folks at SESF for being within walking distance of my house and for having my size in stock. Oh and the friendly as always service.

Buy american.

Americans for America.

Except LVC has put their prices up more than the JP companies have. So that won't really help

Thrifted Aldens ($4)

LVC 47's

I know but budget might not stretch that far right now. Pointer coat is nice but they are sold out of my size and they told me they won't be making anymore in duck.

Oh hey, lookit. Now I can rep, woohoo!!

Ok, now to decide if I want a duck chore coat or a BR sweatshirt. Oh, decisions, decisions??
