I knew I should have bought everything at the FC store while I was there. $163USD for my 1101W. $351 at Bears now? Warehouse will be next for sure...

Day 152/366 EOM5 update for SEXI26-ST

I have the Resolute 714 and Warehouse 1001XX brand new in storage. I also picked up the 220A from Denime and without a doubt, Denime is the nicer of the three, with the Warehouse next and Resolute last. Not to say 714 aren't good or anything but they have a way shallower rise (particularly the back) which makes them more of a "low-rise" jean. The 220A is on another level entirely. The Warehouse (and FC 1101W come to think of it, also in storage) fit closer to the Denime compared to the 714. With what I know now, if I were looking for any of those, I'd pull the trigger on the 220A with out hesitation.

My recent trip to Japan yielded an obscene amount of jeans, at least enough to weather a 15-year storm, so I figured I needed to repurpose some pairs for summer so that I could still wear most of them, giving them the attention they deserve. I have always wanted a pair of Momo's, so I decided to cuff a wide-leg pair (originally 21" outseam but now running about 18" or so with cuff). I stitched them up, and after Boncoura's post, I'm planning on washing these pretty regularly to achieve similar results (more likely two years or several to achieve the same result).

I bought both pairs of Imperial 26 from Self Edge because I wasn't sure which direction I wanted to take for the Indigo Invitational. I settled with the ST. So, I decided to repurpose the 47 pair into shorts. I went with a 20" outseam and stitched up the seams myself. I did this previously with a pair of Imperials from the beginning, and was pretty happy with the results. I wear jeans more often than not so the process is slow with shorts but gets me psyched to wear shorts again, as opposed to wearing pre-distressed pairs. Unfortunately, I grew out of the ones below...

Reminds me of this post that Boncoura posted the other day. Long story short, a chef, I assume, wearing them for a year and washing/drying them every other day.

Since this is based on one jacket (I assume), it's safe to say that another vintage jacket (if found) could display a completely different set of inconsistencies no? Or was the SC collectables jacket based across a few jackets maybe? I mean, wasn't it during one of the most stringent times for material use and skilled workers were far and between, thus why they are so "wonky."

It reminds me of trying to kern text to look badly kerned. There's a skill in trying to make something look bad, but in a good way.

All these repos grew dreadlocks since WWII finished...

SC47s are the bomb.

When the IIY4 jeans are drying, I have been switching between the Denime and SC47 (pictured).

I think they look awesome like they are, almost like they are charred.

Are you planning on gaining weight to fit these BF? 😆

Honestly, you could hit up all the stores and buy a few jeans and bring them back and sell on eBay to pay for the trip.

I love the look of that hat, and you should definitely keep rocking it! I bought a Poten one, so I'm looking forward to it when it looks as good as yours!

No way! RIP AW

You could probably measure the waist in the picture @Geeman and double it for the inseam by the looks of it. 78cm maybe?

And by "box," you mean box truck.

I saw they have them, but I think I need a 38 (maybe a 36, but BEARS' OW measurements make me think 38 NW would be perfect). Anyhoo, I'm not looking at getting them right now. I was just wondering if Eternal was still alive and kicking more or less.

I hit up BEARS yesterday about an Eternal 811 restock, but it seems like a no and not likely. Is Eternal still around at all? Is anyone with a new 36 811 (14.5oz) they want to part with?

I emailed them yesterday, and they got back to me this morning.

If there is a contest, what kind of time do we anticipate it starting at? One year duration?

Congrats B_F! Not on the same scale but I picked up a new moto. Does anyone here ride as well?
