I explained to @Mtvare that the italian post update was static for a few days for me too... then on Sunday UPS emailed me to say they'd arrive on Monday... and they did ... So overall, despite the pause in updates for which I was equally impatient, the end to end journey was rapid Here's hoping all jeans arrive safely, without causing any Sufu health issues!!

^^ worth checking Black Sign, Vocalion waist overalls (at least the fly reminds me of them)

Inhale, exhale... just got these beauties in the mail 😘

It's game on for Pizza Day 🍕

haha yeah all the way from Ugly Duckling Presse in Brooklyn... looking forward to getting stuck into it matey

Wearing the contest jeans 3x per week for 18 months will give about 234 wears Is it enough to get some good fades? How many wears are too many? Wearing 7x per week means 546 wears... is that too much? Not long til we get going now...

I like the Parker Knoll Statesman chairs. So I contacted a local upholsterer to ask if she'd be able to re-upholster one if I could find a chair. Better than that she said, I have just got hold of a knackered one to refurbish... the chance coincidence was too good to give up. Given the state the original was in, it was basically a new build based around the original frame. The twisting mechanism had to be repaired and is 'vintage rickety' which adds character methinks. There was fun and games with the fabric... the first boucle fabric sample held onto everything and was a nightmare to clean so that had to be replaced with new fabric... anyhow the job was finished in Dec 2023 so the chair's been in use over a year now and part of the family...

There was some coffee banter recently... but I can't find it... it reminded me that there was some coffee chit chat on the Nice Things thread from here for a few pages

Agreed, not seeing that as good news. LMVH has shareholders to satisfy and profit will be king to them. It's hard to see how Kapital's innovative designs and products won't be impacted and the costs rise (they were pretty top end anyway). I see Superfuture got a shout out in the highsnobiety article!

Ooof poor service there mate... they should be paying all out of pocket costs after that performance... good luck

@Double 0 Soul what was your handiwork OO?

I'll get the ball rolling as I was up early (if anyone wants to kick it off instead, please let the mods know and swap it over... all good with me ) Wishing you and yours all the very best for 2025!! New year, old gear... Freewheelers / Lofgren

Nearly WoM comp time!

The SCSC jackets could be appreciating in value if this one is anything to go by!
