MJF9

^^ it's a marathon not a sprint gents 😉... actually I think that's what I keep saying to reassure myself after seeing everyone's jeans progressing very nicely @julian-wolf @Broark looking good!

Hahaha... go steady mate... the transition thereafter is to @Maynard Friedman

Asking UK folks... do you know anywhere that sells leather boot laces? Need new ones for my Viberg Boondockers... thanks

M41030Z, pricey but nicey

^ S516XX... there's been some recent chat about it in the FW thread mate

I had to look that up Doc - missed the boat there!! Doesn't that just make it more complicated and difficult to understand - maybe that's the aim 😆

Usual Sunday shananigans... Freewheelers x 4 / @Duke Mantee non-vis / Converse MiJ

More S516XX, with S601XX - same denim, jeans have been worn and washed more. Also love the puckering on the hem of the jacket.

... though AI is here and progressing fast... human's still needed for Powerpoints, for now at least... Great job Neal btw! Proper workmanship... Out of interest, I asked copilot (what is no-doubt a badly formed high-level question!) to see what it could produce for creating a Powerpoint on the topic... presumably a low base but AI Powerpoints are coming Martin...

^ it's deffo a great jacket. While a rerun with a new lining and maybe a different size would be alluring, I can see mine outliving me ATWM

Angie Stone RIP. Only 63. Car crash. Poor thing. What a writer, what a voice.

Rest day... WoM 5150 on the right hand side... only baby creases forming... wearing them 3-4 x per week atm

Thanks for the enablement bF 😉

I've heard they can't handle bars!

Agreeing with @bartlebyyphonics's subtle, easily wearable point... and chiming in on that... I feel there's a degree of sophistication in the jeans - I can wear them at work and they feel 'smart'; I can wear them in leisure and they feel 'casual'. They're slimmer than I've worn in a good few years - but only took a little adapting actually - and now they're a different and very welcome add-on to my jeans rail. As @Alec Leamas's point, a degree of Italian sophistication perchance Looks like you gents are leading the pack... no fades or real glimmers yet here... June '26 is some time off though

Same as you folk - I exercise 5-6 times a week, have done forever and will continue until something bad stops me. It's my panacea. Now you mention lockdown @ATWM, while it had so many bad and sad effects, the daily family exercise regime at ours was great. Family workouts - hill sprints in the park, Muay Thai circuit training in the garden, weight training with some old kit I've had since my mid-teens when I started strength training to help football and athletics, we even used an old cinder 400m track and trained there - with even a timed 4x100m family relay to finish (and try beat the time at the next session). Memorable in many ways.

@patricksjeans great story... thanks for sharing it

My lad was playing football on the east cost near Filey, about 1.5 hours away from home, so we made a trip to the beach there. A 6-1 cup win and a goal for Junior MJF9 made for a good morning Filey is a really dilapidated old English seaside town... but, regardless, we do like to be beside the seaside We were Hank Marvin so the fish 'n' chips never lasted long Staged fit pics of the WoM 5150s with the other stuff I'm wearing regularly... not much to see yet... this looks like being a slow burn for me And nope... a quick sea-wash didn't tempt me... this time

^ I heard a rumour that prime Dorian Yates was planning on entering one of the first Sufu contests... the issue was his 33 inch waist, with each leg 30 inch round 😉

FW x 2 / @Duke Mantee not visible / MiJ Converse with thanks to @Geeman... seem to have misplaced my hammer

@Alec Leamas I thought you had some At Last WW2 jeans or did I make that up?

Bizzarely... I joined 14 years ago on 23rd Feb. I'd been tuning in for years before that. Some cantankerous keyboard warrior behaviour iirc way back then. Much better now. I watched Weaving Shibusa in the Curzon in Soho. Lewis from the Superdenim / McCoys London shops put on a screening. Jam packed with London denim trendies. Would be interested in watching it again.

Wore mine today... really nice shirt 😉
