@aho superb looking denim

A few days off with the kids Lofgren combat boot, olive CXL

Post / Vintage x 2 / At Last / Equus / Lofgren

@Collin both great looking boots in new and worn states (both Iron Horse and Broark have good looking worn in pairs). I have the Viberg - personal preference swung by the shape, as you say, but particularly the cord sole which works really well. RMC also do an N1 that looks more rough out though costs more.

Close up pics are only a little clearer I'm afraid but gives a view

Relevant according to Lightning Vintage Denim archives...

^ hee hee!

That shirt is so out of place eh. White/ecru henley/long sleeved t-shirt would be ok... but definitely not a wabash shirt!

I think the white socks help the shoes and jeans stand out more... so provided both are good, it works well... as above All 80s imagery does need deleting from memory to appreciate them fully though

@volvo240thebest well done... looking forward to hearing more...

@Jimmy Tarbuck has got a pair of those red ones, rocks them with a diamond Lyle & Scott Not strictly speaking jeans though (he says after checking what thread we're in)

I think full stripe can look good. FW does it well... could be quite a laugh trying to pull it off out and about in the grim north or indeed anywhere for that matter though. The recent wabash thread has no doubt influenced my thinking. Shots below courtesy of the www by way of illustration (the first has trousers too long imo and not digging the shirt on the second)

^ nice... and yes £950 is pretty eye watering really

@rodeo bill looking really good... outer leg seam looks cool. Would be good to see fit pics if you have chance.

@Duodequinquagesimus tick tock... a promise is a promise matey

^ cheers mate... btw I nicked the de-stitching idea from you... thanks... much cleaner

Ha ha... that got me thinking... important to distinguish it from 'roasting', the alleged popular passtime of top flight footballers in not so distant years Back to coffees... I like a variety so tend to do a bit of globe trotting - there is some awesome stuff out there these days

From Vintage Showroom, vintage Hamilton Carhartt hunting jacket going for £950

@Flash lovely jacket...

I updated the At Last thread with the Lot 677J Doubling up with a pic here

Bump... Lot 677J I wanted to get through the colder months with layers underneath so made a plan to soak/wash this in Spring in case of shrinkage. Did a cold soak then cold wash, both followed by a line dry, resulting in 1 cm reduction on the arms and length, rest all the same. As @fre-co said, the paper patch dissolved and so I also picked out the stitching that remained (with a helping hand) which looks cleaner. Not worn much so will try to get some wear in this year.

Cheers Kit Do you mean Bond Street coffee? I’ve sipped a few espressos sitting on that little bench outside. Great spot to watch the world go by. There are a few good roasters down your way (ish) - Craft House is a favourite and Small Batch, though not sure if their growth rate has affected quality as haven’t bought from them in a while.

Chiming in on the coffee chat... Bought myself a Khalita Wave to add to my collection of home coffee Kit (see what I did there) What a fine looking piece of Japanese engineering... and makes a good cup too once you get the grind right The brew is a natural Ugandan from Horsham Coffee who roast some pretty decent coffee

Ha... or a bit of your candyfloss

Close by at Formby, just down from Ainsdale towards Liverpool. Spent a lot of time at both over the years.
