  1. In the midst of moving, jeans been getting a workout. We bought a house!
  2. Looking great dude, impressive fading to say the least!
  3. Well, I finally picked up some overalls. Went with the SDA D1911. Without mentioning who, I asked for a lower declared price, and DHL still charged me $100 today for customs clearance, even at 66% off the actual price on the package! Highway robbery. Planning on getting them hemmed after a few wears and a wash. Use the offcuts to add some belt loops. TCB was looking great but the inseam lengths for me were hard to guage if they would fit. Plus, realised I wanted something +14oz or so.
  4. And without knowing how much time said cowboy spent in them, hard to gauge the speed of fades. In saying that, 50s-70s, assuming 20 years. There's ~16 pairs in the picture so I' imagine most of those were a year of wear. I'd say that's pretty impressive considering they were not knowingly trying to fade each pair. Seems like the train of thought was: too many holes = a new pair.
  5. Damn dude, how did you fair? Hope you are all good!
  6. I dunno man, plenty of those jeans look awesome to me. Better than 75% of the shit that gets posted on Indigo Invitational as of late.
  7. A bunch of the shops I have tried are on Shop but still, no international delivery for the item I wanted.
  8. If I want to buy something from Studio D'Artisan in Japan (they don't ship to USA), how could I go about that?
  9. From what I gather though, many of these dudes literally go to sleep in their gear too. Might not pertain to this fellow in particular, however, from various comments I have seen on IG. Many wear their denim in the rain/mud/animals all day every day. I couldn't imagine wearing 20+ oz denim in 110s 100% humidity either. Mind boggling. I guess anything for the fadz.
  10. Try no washes for two years, and he's a farmer. None of these idiots have girlfriends, surely?
  11. Indigo Invitational / Redline Rally... [not me]
  12. So many of the cars look like Japanese anime caricatures. The NSX is the best car there, props to the neighbor. Air suspension has gone a long way but still, unless it's a slow 'truck, I don't know why people hamper their Porsches with terrible suspension. Don't even get me started on stretched tires. Did your son get any crashes from anyone leaving? If not, I guess the folks with Mustangs didn't go 😄
  13. Grailed "pays" for the shipping so as long as you get a receipt for dropping it off, you should be good.
  14. Has anyone ordered from Pants Ave as of late?
  15. Thank you both! Did a quick search after I posted and saved a few from SC, Fullcount, and TCB. TCB has quite the selection. I do like the #1 but the rivets are going to rip leather so I gotta axe those. What other jeans do you have @Hopethisoneisnttaken? And what size did you go in those jeans and your overalls? Any recs on your sizing @julian-wolf? For ref, Denime 36, SC 36, Samurai 38, Imperial 36, IH 36/38. Would want them to be somewhat baggy...
  16. Looking for some help with finding some overalls! I was thinking more of a light 9-14ish ounces, but if heavier, worth a look if the style is correct. More likely plain denim, but wouldn't be opposed to stripes/wabash too. Looking for the Y style back, not the suspender-looking versions. TIA
  17. How do you go about "designing" marbling though?
  18. So wild @Jared_Lee! And by that, I mean 16 quarters! Our apartment block washing/dryer is $5 a load nowadays. Was $1.50 when we first moved here 4 years ago. But for real, the jeans look amazing!
  19. I have bought one thing since the start of the WOMJ comp. 5 months to go. Have a couple of things I "want" to get when my abstinence ends. Makes looking forward to getting them a bit more of an occasion.
  20. I was thinking the same thing the other day @ATWM. If you have 10 pairs of jeans and theoretically—two years of wear gets you really decent fades before you need millions of repairs—then you have 20 years' worth of denim. Who knows what shape I'll be by then? Definitely keeps my denim wants in check.
  21. Anyone with sugar cane based jeans been pricked by sharp fibres? Was wearing my MF yesterday, it caught my finger, and I started bleeding everywhere. Felt like a shard of glass was stuck in the jeans...
  22. Ha! He was setting up, so free game until the performance. I take mine to the local dry cleaner. I took it in yesterday morning, and she told me I could pick it up this afternoon, crazy! Especially since I cut out and numbered 9 patches, plus I need the pocket bag fixed. She was impressed by my numbering system and instructions, so that may have been the clincher for a quick turnaround. Most were just "patches," but for three spots I asked for "darning," although we are not talking, like SE level darning.
  23. Doesn't SE do it for $25? If you bought the jeans there, it's free, as many times as you like.
  24. Getting mine repaired this week. A lot of holes are developing and taking off for a brief holiday soon. Need to make sure they last the holidays. Hoping it's the last time until the conclusion of the contest.
