@buler thanks for sharing and the advice. Shocking how these things just come out of nowhere. I’d never heard of tracking the trend on the PSA score – appreciate the tip. A mate of a mate, who I know, recently had prostrate C. He had zero symptoms. He did a test (PSA and the dreaded rubber glove) because his brother came down with it so he got worried. He also caught it early, had the treatment and is in recovery. Best wishes – looking forward to your next ‘normal’ WAYWT in due course!

SCSC 1942 jeans... sized up at w36, maximum cinch applied, with big f-off cuff!!

@buler hope your recovery passes smoothly matey!

Nice jeans @Broark Anyone copping this 😉? It was shared by a friend

@Vamp Welcome! A solid first post. Congrats on the win. Pics and post-wash measurements tend to be well-received around these parts so you've lined that up nicely

A 7 hour round trip yesterday to Loughborough University athletics stadium for my lad to run for just over 2 minutes… a great experience and result so it was well worth it

@Maynard Friedman nice... do you have a pic of it new to compare?

More dark denim with nice grainy texture... Gardener 579XX Funky type 2 style based off the Copper King Lot 105 jacket (thanks to @Lorcan for the link) Same denim as @beautiful_FrEaK's jeans – very dark and nicely coarse… delightful denim is a good way to describe it. I had that pleasantly masochistic anxious feeling that the pattern wouldn’t work... obviously after I’d bought it. But a lap of the park gives me confidence that once the stiffness goes, it’ll be grand. Spiral website said it right… ‘The armholes are narrow, the sleeves are thick, the collar is high, and the waist is tightly tightened. I think you will enjoy a unique silhouette that is different from Company L’ The jacket itself is longer length than I usually wear… the good news is it goes nicely over the longer Freewheelers sweatshirts which cracks that particular issuette. I might cuff the sleeves if I’m wearing a t-shirt as they are pretty long, otherwise I’ll embrace them. Very nice service from Spiral via IG. Happy... and few pics out in the garden (local field) naturally...

@smoothsailor great work mate... and always love seeing your Lee jacket... top notch!

@nopal WoM looking cool

MRs and Junior MJF9 grew this avocado plant from seed during lockdown, making it about 5 years old. I read they can take 10 years to bear fruit. However, in the north of Engerland it might be a stretch... we'll find out in 5 years... watch this space ... (I'm no gardener but think it needs a bigger pot)

The next step is to 3D print them... not

@Maynard Friedman looks like some good wear on that there jacket... in fact, it's exactly the kind of thing denim enthusiasts might like to stare at on a denim forum 😉

Near Mam Tor... my fault in hindsight... there were cars parked up on both sides of the road in what I thought were little lay-bys... it turned out my side of the road wasn't a lay-by, the other side was. It was chocka with cars so I thought I'd got lucky a bit further out... parked and went... wrong!! I see what you mean now about the big cars, narrow (and bendy) roads and bellends driving fast <insert fist shaking emoji>

Day 2 in the Peaks with my lad Walked up Mam Tor… the plan had been to do it early but it was lashing down with rain… we so went later and there were tourists everywhere (ironic I know) Next year, I expect to be the smallest A present had been left at the car pfffff Even more ironically, passed this sign driving back… I did feel I’d been… Denime 10th anniversary ‘37s, Tezomeya and McCooys Daisy Mae… plus more meat Next day, we were in the lido at Haversage before 8am... dodging the blue-rinse old dear brigade swimming two abreast like CHiPs... only different as there were no motorbikes in the pool ... it was a invigorating start to the day Haversage main street And a really nice breakfast… (even more upmarket than Sharrow Vale Road Neal!!) Only 48 hours away... but it felt rejuvenating… the end!

Cheers gents... yeah lovely here and probably too much!!

The (now) annual Dad and lad weekend away in the Peak District, infamous OO Soul country Quick pit stop en-route at Porter Coffee on Sharrow Vale road - £17 for 2 butties and £1 for parking - how much! Hardly a Sheffield accent to be heard, southern tones aplenty - gentrification of S-codes? Took the WoMs for a walk around Bamford Edge... totally staged pic looking out over the Hope Valley It's a strictly carnivorous weekend - we packed 4.4kg (yes I weighed it) of ribeye, T-bone, lamb... will we get through it all is the question And a sauna to finish the day off...

Gives us loads of time to get the 🍿 in!

Vintage and puckered?

SCSC '45 denim - rough and hairy - hopefully no link to the above post there

@smoothsailor brilliant... love it!!
