Been a while, hope you're well

I have fond memories of been treated with complete disdain in the "new" store due to my non manc accent....despite regular custom. The original store had a better vibe although my memory of those years is somewhat fuzzy.... I actually met the guys from JB / Momotaro there once when JB started to be a available over here then 2 weeks later met them again in a too in brum. On the subject of fuzzy memories and Manchester I read these 2 articles last week about the kitchen and Konspiracies, which gave me my fondest memories of rave and 'high' lights of clubbing. Funny I thought the fridge came after konspiracies and it seemed we were always up there.... turns out fridge was the place that birthed the club and the club itself only lasted a few months. https://iumag.co.uk/konspiracy-klub-madchester-1989-1990-2nd-summer-of-love/ https://www.vice.com/en/article/nzmd8z/haienda-konspiracy-manchester-acid-house-feature

Not my first pair of raw (nudies ) , but my first selvedge/ Japanese denim was RRL. They really cemented the ' obsession' with the crisp feel, fading , moulding to shape etc etc. I still have my nudies , my decorating jeans. @unders Atoo was great, I still speak to Ming.

Try Marrkt, they have a few and buying your first one 2nd hand is a good idea if they don't work out for you

Where is/how is @Foxy2 anyone heard from him? 00?

Yes?

I found it never actually updated to delivered for overseas purchases. In fact once you get the shipping email it's not much use, just a fancy app..... I do have a link somewhere for a service you put any tracking number and destination country and it locates your package and last update pretty useful when ordering from Japan/Thailand and it shipped via their domestic postal service

I'd draw the line at Sheffield though

We all appreciate the value of B&M stores and the additional cost we pay to have that luxury of trying on etc, but there's mark up and then there's MARK UP!! Re, paying for convenience I'll sometimes pay a gardener or a decorator to do work I could do myself because times more important than the money in some cases. I've got a busy job for an international company so my hours aren't always 9-5 and a three year old running me ragged so I'd rather get a bloke in for a couple hours or even days and spend the time down the park (or pub!)or whatever However, buying sliced mushrooms or peeled potatoes etc is nonsense aimed at people with more money than sense!

My thoughts are with you both

Looks fine to me

I don't think JMC, Buco, DD are sister companies. They are just based on a different theme and named accordingly. JMC do some great stuff

Agreed

I wasn't suggesting it was a reference for for reasonable pricing, I was agreeing that some of IH stuff is also borderline ridiculous when it comes to price

Never owned RMC denim , but plenty ts, sweats shirts, coats. Never had an issue. However I won't buy their denim due to the feedback here. Prices are ridiculous, even if buying in Japan.
