unorthodox

When did they announce the 66 model?

Weekend walks to the market w/ my mini-me. Blluemade Linen Cap Full Count Western 3sixteen Pima Tee Warehouse 900xx Ecru DSPTCH Tote Vans DX Slip Ons

They sold out online in like 30 min, pretty crazy.

Yeah, I was a sicko. Anything for the fades.

Wonder if we ever crossed paths

Living life to the fullest / wasting my entire 20's in a van touring the world playing drums in hardcore bands.

I"d say about a year and a half of solid wear. This was during the craze of rarely ever washing your jeans and I would bring them as my only pair of pants for entire tours, even summer tours. So they got beat up and gross pretty damn fast.

Those are fucking awesome.

Found some 19oz Samurai 710's that have been folded up in my closet for the past few years. Unfortunately they are far too small for me now.

There's something special about the 15.5oz denim from FC.

I've actually been thinking on this and have a different take. I feel like the amount of people willing to spend $200+ or $300+ for denim online has gone down for sure BUT I feel like the amount of physical stores that offer these products has gone up (at least in America). So I feel like I am starting to see more casuals willing to spend the premium on denim if/when they go into one of those retailers to touch/see/feel the difference. Also when an option like J.Crew are now $130 a pair, it seems like less of a leap to spend $250 especially when that option is available in your city to try on and knowledge staff is explaining to you the difference.

Such fond memories of this time

Yes the Zimbabwe cotton is extremely soft and comfortable. Nearly no break in period when I started wearing my 1109xx. You can wash and hang dry to get a bit of stiffness but it will be nice and soft again in no time.
