Let's see them Bedfords!

@Double 0 Soul your foot sits atop. All that foam is cushion for the pushing! And I do not wear them with jeans although with how much they cost I bloody should wear them more.

I run in the vaporfly for pace work and brooks or hoka for easy work. I didn't think the alphafly would be such a huge step up, but they are incredible. Very stable with tons of energy return. The ball of your fit sits just to the back of the air bubble so you roll onto it as you toe off, it's full length carbon plate for maximum spring and the entire sole is their zoom X foam which is very cushioned but gives loads of spring back. I'm in now way a fast runner, 1hr 48 mins is my Half Marathon PB (I'm 52 for f*cks sake!) but even I feel the benefit of these. The blurb

I've just splashed out on a pair of Alphafly, that Eliud Kipchoge wears and endorses... They won't make me run like him but they are so wildly far from normal running trainers, they are incredible to run in.

Here's a thing.. I just sold the only pair of Sam's I've owned. I really liked them but there was a qc issue that was bugging the hell out of me so they had to go. It was lie the denim that's attached to the waist band and sits behind the pocket opening was to small so didn't sit fully behind the opening, if that makes sense? When moving in them the pocket bag , particularly around the upper curve/nearest to the fly, popped out or was visible. Especially so when sitting. Drove me crazy. May get round to inspecting a pair when I go into R&H to see if it was an issue with that cut or a one off. Think they were the 211 in Benkei denim.

I haven't mate

The original slim 50 or the newer Slim T? Had both the above but not the 60s... not being a great help here I know, but had to warn the original slim 50s rise was nearly pornographic it was that low. Slim T are fine

@Well27 Not going to lie...I had to send them to add a little taper to the leg. The LO was just a little to wide for me. Got them back today and plan to start putting some wear into them

3sixteen have pretty much disappeared from sufu, but I must admit I have a bit of nostalgia for them. I had a pair of their jeans back when R&H were an online store they were nice enough and I liked the run off stitching from the back pockets. Their shadow selvedge is a nice indigo/indigo option. No interest in their newer stuff, but I do own a pair of the double black jeans I wear occasionally. Hell, now I might just get a pair of their kibata denim jeans for nostalgia sake!

Was expecting this before I clicked through

Length in the first 2 pics spot on with those boots

Don't Redwing do them? Seem to recall getting mine from them. Edit, tell a lie.. they were flat waxed.

FC xx is a great denim @Well27

Will be expecting an update to: Barf / Man stain / Shit oneself in jeans... I'm at a whisky festival on Saturday... may have to update mine

I hope you not riding home

@Cold Summer makes a point which I can really relate too. Sometimes the amount of clothes I have makes deciding what to wear painful and detracts from the enjoyment of them. Add to this I got into a habit of almost outfit procrastination.. I wont wear item X now because I want to wait till I wear item Y with it and so never got round to actually wearing half of it. On top of that "babying" certain items , like not wearing certain shirts to go out and eat in case I get food / sauce spillage (never actually happened anyway!) All this made me slow down buying more clothes but now as I get older and body shape changes (weight training/distance running instead of martial arts & middle aged spread...) I'm starting to replace some stuff while attempting not to get back into the unchecked shopping of the last 20 years or so.

Wow, just checked, I was 14 years ago last week.

Follow them on the gram and twice a year they do a deadstock/sample sale and you can usually pick them up for an even better price

@themott I second The Wildbunch. I've had a few pairs and still have a pair of their Wallys and 2 pairs of the seam shoe.

UES is a nice denim

Clarks may not be the greatest and not on par with JLB, but that's why they are 140 quid vs 700 quid. As a long time Clarks wearer I've got crepe soled desert boots still going after 10 years.

Wearing my just arrived SD100 today. A little wider below the knee than I expected/am used to but my love of the SDA denim will convince me to give them a go!
