Hahaha… I bet I could guess who that certain someone is!! The only Q is if you can’t wear to work or in public, where are you wearing them??? 😆 They’re going to scrub up well no doubt whenever that comes

Quelle surprise Rodney... a 5-pocket 18-month speed-fading contest winning the day... (and so says a 36 month non-5-pocket voter ) OK thoughts on Austin's 3 scenarios... I can't see Rebuilt flying solo for just 15 entrants. The last comp got 26, 40 voted in this so even with drop outs, 15 aint enough Rebuilt v LH clearly has the highest combined score... ... but more interesting (imo) is a 5-pocket v non-5-pocket contest... i.e. 1 contest, 1 thread, different denims, same start / end date... that should bring greater entrants... which should help Sufu overall which has to be a key objective Re Tender, Bill said they're on the way to stores... so would be good to know what the options are Duration... there's an argument that those who voted for 36 months should be added to the 24 months pile which would give 24 months 46% and a clear win!!! It feels like another vote along the lines of Austin's 3 scenarios is needed to finalise...

@scooby they’re getting pretty Scoobied!! Look forward to seeing them post wash(es)

… with the flavour of the month(s) being vintage 😉 Banter aside, it’s a good shout to scour the web for old crackers. I’d expect Chat could be set up to run a check of what’s for sale on a regular basis… but does that remove the fun of the chase… it sounds kinda like a denim Tinder… anyway, I digress… What’s the scores on the doors @Broark?

^ the vintage is just normal Sufu init tho bro??? We can do that as well as a contest, especially if the contest is a 3+ years slow fader 😉

30s tux to keep the theme going Jacket came OW and has not been washed by me yet; jeans came raw and been washed a few times

@Double 0 Soul enjoyed that post Neal - great pics... and thank you for saving me a bar... I'll ping ya... grazie mille!!! @JohnM such a great story...

Thanks @vlad_III I just measured w34 37s v 47s… Front rise ~32.5cm on both Back rise ~45cm on 37s v ~46cm on 47s (1cm difference) Both rises plenty big 👍

@vlad_III interesting... using the same denim? do you know if they be doing the 30s jacket as well? Just curious. @nopal great jeans... and great denim imo... if they tweak it, I only assume it'll be an enhancement as I think will be the case for the WW2 denim tweak

^ yes... the quality denim supply challenges are real, most notably for small makers, who are losing out to fashion houses, Levis Japan, the bigger historic Japanese denim makers... basically those with bigger buying power... a very good reason to stock up now lads and lasses

@shredwin_206 new jeans looking good!!

Good points Jared… for WoMCon we had 16 final submissions from the original 26 = ~60%. There are many different fair dinkum reasons for that, of course, including lost luggage, weight change, sizing issues etc etc so not commenting on the why but it does give us a metric of what we can expect... I therefore think 1 contest in name, that could have either 1 maker or 2 makers, but that has the same start and end dates, is managed through 1 Sufu thread, 1 hashtag etc etc. The awards would need thinking through but that’s totally doable if that’s what Sufu wants… #LongLiveSufu

If Rebuilt wins, the 15 limit is not increased and Sufu demand > supply, the contest could become a 5-pocket gun slinging shoot out… Rebuilt v Little Hand!!

Given the great and interest-generating choices, maybe we just need a contest with all of them simultaneously 😉😆

Thank you @Broark My inclination remains a non-5-pocket option... and a slow fade, long running contest... for reasons mentioned earlier ... hence reposting to avoid restating... That said... all are exciting options, great variety... that deserve time to reflect before submitting a choice... !!

@Broark looking forward to the fit pics 😉

401 shirt in grey logwood It’s too hot to wear but it’s good line drying weather so gave it a pre-season wash and iron. The colour is nicely non uniform, with varying depth of grey, and really nice. When I step back and look at my wardrobe of predominantly blue, it makes a nice change. It came pretty scrunched, which I assume was deliberate to create the colour variations. I have the 402 (a similar but different design) in hadal blue which is more uniform in colour and came less scrunched. @rodeo bill would be good to know any thought process around this.

England mate. Sorry to hear you had to escape the Paris heat. The average temp over years in San Sebastián is good in summer but they have also faced heat waves - a few months ago it was double average temp at 40C. The UK is going through our 5th heatwave this year which is a bad joke too.

Hey mate... it's a really lovely place. Well worth a visit. It has 3 really good beaches, one called Zurriola for the surfers with a place called Gros nearby with that surfy vibe (albeit small scale), the main bay and promenade called Kotxa is the busier and a third called Ondaretta which is nice and quiet-ish with some Eduardo Chillida sculptures looking over it. Interestingly he was originally a goalkeeper for Real Sociedad the local team. Good food - lots of pintxos (tapas) in the Old Town especially, so you can walk easily from bar to bar, eating as you go. As @PBTony said the are famous for Basque cheesecake, defo worth a try. Loads of places to eat with good food. Though I would say the cuisine is not as diverse as other cities, even compared to where I live up north. There's a nice vibe and energy to the place, and enough going on to mooch around and keep you busy enjoying the buzz of the city. Underlying, there's a spirit of independence in the region, hence their fervent support of similar more challenging causes worldwide. We stayed about a 25 min walk from the centre, but it's a nice walk in along the rivers which splits the city and gives you a variety of bridges to walk over to get around the place. Good temperature too for Europe in summer... usually in July / August it's 20-25C and luckily it was when we were there. Barring the heatwaves we're all seeing - and struggling with. We went to Bilbao area after San Sebastian... spent more time on the beach - again a good vibe all round.
