They'd be good to grow turnups in... oh ok... I'll get my coat...

Congratulations mate!! Best wishes to your new bambino

Junior MJF9 asked to borrow a denim jacket to go to her friend's birthday dinner,,, good to see this kinda stuff resonating with the yoof of today 😊 (coincidental CSF snap with OO to boot) CSF / Adidas

I had some Oni in the secret 21oz denim some time ago... they felt like pyjamas... very soft... did anyone ever say what the 'secret' bit was?

Hat and glasses / sunglasses ftw! Wear a hat all year round - beanie, heavier (flat) cap or sheepskin 'Russian' hat in colder weather; warmer weather it's cotton beanie (Rototo), (flat) cap in lighter fabric, N-3 cap or Daisy Mae. Sun protection or warmth, only both very rarely. Prefer contact lens but all day wear became too much so it's prescription glasses day time (Moscot, going to get some Effector sometime)

Jacket is nice... my size based on measurements... it's long though at 65cm

They'll keep you nice and warm in your workshop next winter

Now we've gone through the denial phase... who's copping???

Freewheelers 1937... with a Freewheelers 1933 jacket in there too to complete the 30s tux... Only about 4 months between the first and last jeans pic - different light shows the denim differently About 1.5 years between the first and last fit pic

@Lorcan some cracking wear on your Ironalls... how much time have you put in so far?

I remember buying 1/2p sweets from the shop!

^^^ when I said I was only messing around with the AI tool - I meant I was joking around, tongue-in-cheek.... as was my reference to ChatGPT. Just playing Julian. As I said, I see too much rubbish being produced generally. Many use it at work for stuff they used to use their brain for... fine as an accelerator for output but without the accuracy check, it's lazy. I've used it twice, ever... funnily enough both here!! Dear Mods... should the AI banter be moved to the Nonsense thread to avoid clogging up this otherwise fine Ooe thread?

Why the red rep @julian-wolf?? Do you prefer ChatGTP? I'm only messing around with the above test of perplexity.ai, of course. I'm sceptical - everyone's using AI and I'm seeing loads of rubbish being written, and used, in different settings. Many seem so ecstatic with the time and effort savings, they are indifferent to the inaccuracy and formulaic nature of the output.... that indifference no doubt exacerbated as a result of living in this post-truth era.

... how did perplexity.ai do? (PS I had to instruct it to use Sufu as a source as it didn't in it's initial response... pfff) Ooe Yofukuten is a highly respected Japanese denim brand known for its meticulous reproduction of vintage-inspired jeans and workwear.

^ awwww bless... and, for the avoidance of doubt, I mean the beautiful bambino

FW x 3 / Converse

Sugar Canes Lot 1947... BNWT... for sale. Size 34. One-wash. Red tab and arcs These are c20 years old, based on OO's M-series guide (towards the bottom of page 1) I acquired them last year for £230 all in. Looking to recoup the same ideally... however shoot me a DM to discuss. Unworn. Reluctant sale. Reason - they are too small for me! Measurements - remember these are one-wash so they will stretch Waist 41cm - this will stretch by about 2cm Inside leg 85cm Front rise 31cm Back rise 42cm Thigh at crotch 33.5cm And a few pics of them out in the wilds of Sheffield...

Multi functional clothing ftw!

^ yeah that's the purpose. Some repro brands issue them with rope for hanging dry too

Depends what you're wearing under it mate. If it's the same cut as previous batches, these feel more denim jacket than denim blouse and are a toucher longer, relatively speaking

Good price that but I'm gonna have to pass as I've got some SCSC 42s coming soon

Missed commenting on this mate... apologies... what did you go for in the end?

@jkbrwn imo with a nice suit, dressier shoes will keep it looking nice... the wrong shoe could ruin the suit... it's not possible to be half pregnant To wear with both suit and casually.... I have these Alden Bronco Blutchers on a military 379x last... work well with a suit just about and can also be dressed down with stuff like WW2 jeans, white socks of course and a Sun Surf shirt... I see the price has risen and is ott... so Sanders military derby is worth a look though I've never tried them on

Similar situation... I asked Buaisou if I could pay in Yen and they said yes. Worth the question. A deliberate mark up exclusively for internationals is off the mark... unless there is a justication I can't think of?

Good stuff... as the Sufu man-on-the-ground, it'd be appreciated if you could find out when the one-pocket late 1800s pair is coming and what the measurements are? Understand a measurements chart may be extremely hard to come by, but if you get one you'll win the internet that day ... cheers!!
