  1. 2% elastane so size down for sure! Save £££s on the chainstich hem by simply cutting the fkers off..
  2. Together at last.. he bastard love child of my 3 favourite pursuits in life.. cycling, camping and selvedge denim. Top button is a Nitto bar cap https://shop.circles-jp.com/en/products/ral-jeans
  3. $9 is cheap enough if the value is lowered.. i stopped buying clothes in 2019, i think the last purchase was the Junky-46s, i've still been buying stuffs from Japan but i've tried to keep everything under out £135 limit for border charges. The DS SC-47s, i purchased recently cost £150ish then i was hit with a further £30 in shipping costs and an additional £60+ in border charges, making a reasonably priced pair of jeans very costly.. :(£240) I'd like to buy a handmade (est £1000+ once in a lifetime purchase) bike frame from JP (Mercari or Yahoo JDirect) one day but shipping charges jump significantly when the package is 1m+.. A bike frame measures around 1m from headtube to rear dropouts but add lots of packaging (at my request) and it'll be more like 1.2m, meaning it has to go FedEx at significant cost.. but it will still be worth it / doable when these costs are factored in.. what rules it out entirely is duty and vat.
  4. Thanks @OutSider it looks like a very good proxy service, trustpilot reviews are superb! I've just had a little poke around the site and found.. ..so what's the process for lowering the value? .. is it automated a'la Zen or do you have to request it from the staff? What are the fees?
  5. Send it down here when you've done with it @MJF9 👍
  6. My missus got this msg from one of the lads at 1am To be fair.. pasta doesn’t look bad, they’ve got a can of Poretti too.. goodness knows where that came from?.. This was before the heavily expletive laden txt messages when she got up and saw the kitchen
  7. When i got up for work this morning there was a hand written note from my kid on the kitchen side "Hi Dad, We're making pasta.. mum knows" At some point in the night, my kid and whichever friends were staying over decided to make some pasta, the kitchen was an absolute bombsite, sink pilled high with pots and pans, some of the ingredients they've used (mince and such) we didn't have so they must have been to the shop at 12.30am.. there was half an onion on top of a kilner jar of flour.. chopped face down, olives on the floor, remnants of roughly chopped garlic on the chopping board and a tin of kidney beans they'd opened and not used? .. they'd used 4 pans to make a sauce ... it was total chaos, i just left it and went to work..
  8. It's a 'poor-mans' mahogany.. inasmuch as, there was an embargo put on mahogany in (i think) 2001 to stop illegal logging in SA.. after this time the timber merchants were looking for a replacement with similar characteristics / availability, eventually settling on poplar, i do have shit-loads of 20+ yr old mahogany in stock but i can't provide it as a material without documentation to prove it came from plantation sources.. I like poplar too.. it's a little less stable than mahogany and a little more prone to movement but it doesn't turn your hands purple when you're working with it... When we went to Brazil.. years ago, all the cheap hotel rooms are entirely furnished with mahogany, solid mahogany bed, wardrobes, doors, even the walls were clad with is, it was just the cheapest most abundant material
  9. Thanks.. the green is poplar / tulipwood, when i buy it, in rough sawn planks it's mainly a sandy colour with veins of green and to a lesser extent purple running through so i cut those 'character' bits out and save them for something special.. the other woods are mahogany, american white oak and ash, there is a construction post somewhere on the forum? .. but i can't find it
  10. Yes, i made this wooden bowl.. incorperating Hollows logo so he could put all his nick-nacks in there at the event..
  11. Here's another blast from the past @tg76 2015 Denim Bruin Even i got a mention The bandana was a gift from Mr R .. same design as the blanket Masterson's Circle A. & Roy's 14/25 ..and a random postcard which Mr R sent me from his holiday in Honolulu 😍 I think Standard & Strange have the rights to hold future Denim Bruin events..
