I don't... can you remember any tales for us OO? I'll get my popcorn just in case...

Do you know what happened to them?

I can't decide if it's a blessing or a curse that we're not the same size @Duke Mantee! Some top gear there befitting of a top bloke! I bet Lewis couldn't contain his excitement... good luck with the sales

I was looking through old jeans and noticed this Denim Demon pair from around 2009. They were a small maker from Stockholm... looks like they folded ages ago They got my interest for a few reasons: Are these sort of pizza arcs? Made in Italy They have late 30s ish features but a laurel wreath-esque top button... reminds me of the Canes I got recently I also noticed the top panel on the backside is over the bottom panel... if I understood it correctly, this is what @Dr_Heech was talking about recently. Them and the FW Ironalls Lot 102 overalls ae the only jeans I have with this arrangement.

^ them flimsy karate kicks dinnae worrie a proper Scotsman!!!

The high cost is hilariously at odds with this model originally being lower cost, more 'affordable' jeans

My understanding these days is FW class it as a burgundy tab rather than red

^ new raw iron buttons that are about to go into production... all set to age nicely... The contest will be the first time they are used... primo 😋

@UkeNo cheers mate... it's actually from Peggs and Son in Brighton down your neck of the woods

^ bit worried about this collaboration though... I hear they're planning on making drainpipes... it's so Sufu 10 years ago

Thanks Julian... I had the same thought... deffo less 'out-there' when worn, plus think a bit 'out-there' is good for a change Yeah the pockets, front and back, are from the lighter denim. The front left is actually two pockets and they're lined, as is the back 'cargo' pocket. The front right single pocket isn't lined. A few pics below, though the quality is limited...

^ my experience Aho of just a little wear is the 220As can fade fast... sure that those with more wear will chime in with proof positive

Doesn't your Canes reserves need breaking into next Neal??? Much better worn in well than sold methinks

I know Kapital is not for everyone... but I do like their funkiness I remember seeing @redragon wearing the Ringoman years ago and thought it looked cool. I've looked at it on and off over the years and eventually pulled the trigger. It's a cut-and-shut of 2 denims... 12oz body and 8oz sleeves... Mavis on the supermarket checkout didn't say anything so they must be hard to discern with the naked eye It has exaggerated multi-pockets to the front and back and is pretty spacious (this is a size 5) - more spacious than the photos suggest The big cargo pocket on the back might come in handy for carrying maps which I'll never use as I'll have my phone in one of the many front pockets. I'll also resist acquiring one of those lickle pooches just to maximise use of the back cargo pocket - it's a step too far 😉 Anyway... verdict... I really like it as a change from my usual jackets

Some great new kit @Broark...also seeing the Uplander as a tempting stand-out

Justing chatting with bF and Simone on the patch... given the first design was received with more enthusiasm and there are ahem reservations with the second, the proposal is to stick with the original first patch... which was very tasty indeed... A few nice looking pairs of jeans on Simone's feed today... no pun intended 🍕

@aho I have Brother Bridge Henry - early days but really like them... comfortable from the get go and nice fairly spacious last, where the laces to near-toe mean you can tighten them up depending on sock thickness. Nice leather too. I got ecru and black laces as standard, and bought some olive green which I'll try as soon as can make time

@smoothsailor Happy Birthday matey! Looking as cool as ever 👊... and now we know it's all been down to Mrs smooth all these years

Pizza is good. However I'd prefer the pizza positioned more hygienically I just asked if it's possible to put the pizza in his hand, for instance 😉

^ very tasty eh 😋

Levis might have noticed Beyonce's 315 million followers on IG and disregarded any musical preferences!l I remember Nick (rest his soul) created quite a storm in that iconic ad... and not necessarily for his music!!! 😉

^ yeah totally... with added superstar reach for Levis...
