Double 0 Soul

Most of them turned to rags and ended up either in the bin or given away.. the only pairs i saved are a pair of CSF-46s, Junky 46s and FW-47s. I only saved those because they're a bit special but pointless really.. they're too delicate to wear for any longer than a day or two. I've been wearing Carhartt carpenters for work these last few years.. £35 from the vintage shop, it's much cheaper than burning through £200 pairs of denimz every 6mths, albeit much less interesting

I always remember Crat would shine the shit out of the toe of his brogues to an almost mirror finish.. then go trout fishing in them.. someone on the forum commented.. "why on earth would you go fishing in formal shoes?!" and he replied.. "that's what they were designed for you idiot"

Designed for the working classes if i remember rightly.. the small holes are to let water out while working in waterlogged conditions.. for folks working out in the fields.

The 1945, 506 repro you're wearing in waywt.. it's raw isn't it? How are you finding the fit after shrinkage?

Don't forget.. i had 40,000+ posts over there Im like The Simpsons, if you say enough shit, some of it's bound to come true

I told y'all this would happen 10yrs ago on DB and nobody took me seriously If i remember rightly @CSL said .. and i quote "of course 00.. loose lips sinks ships" Mr Beast will be giving them away before you know it!

Warehouse jacket is getting ready for another wash now the warm weather has arrived.. I'll update the lifecycle post with a before and after..

I think formality went out of the window back in the 1980s.. along with silver service Unless of course she plans to serve crepe suzette, flambeed at the table?

I've just measured the inseam of a raw M41001 and it's exactly 36"

Some random shiz that played on my ipod this am..

Morning @yung_flynn I can't give you the numbers i'm afraid.. i've owned numerous pairs of these which i bought worn and i own numerous pairs which are still raw but i've never actually washed a raw pair, i'm pretty sure we can figure this out tho.. You look like a slim guy so you only need worry about waist and inseam.. regarding the waist, I would always recommend going up one size if you want to achieve the same fit as a SC47.. they shrink from tagged, the shrinkage is expected / not irregular but bear in mind that the SC47 already has quite a nipped waist compared to a lot of other brands with the same tag size.. if you look back at pg1 there is a photo of the (raw) waists being measured. The inseam is not ungenerous.. from memory, it shrinks to at least 33" but probably closer to 34" (i think SC47s usually end up around 33.5) .. check out the fit comparisons i did on pg2.. all of the inseams on the M41001 are unhemmed.. i'm 5'11" a tailor would probably say i'm a 31-32" inside leg and they're all worn with a double cuff.. i could still make out the (32") tag of the darker pair.. they were all roughly the same size in the waist so i'd say they were all tagged 32" and they were all slightly too small albeit still wearable so again, maybe just go up a single tag size if you're used to a SC47 fit.. those photos were taken around 14yrs ago, all of those jeans have long deceased so i can't measure but i'm sure someone here has a washed / unhemmed M41001 they can measure?

I still buy CDs (and occasionally magazines) from Rakuten shops.. they're a 1/4 of the price of eBay or Discogs but the cost of shipping eliminates any financial gain i might make.. so i just leave them with the proxy service until i buy bike bits or whatevs and add them to th package up to the cost of £135, that way i can avoid UK border charges.

Absolute beauty from corpse resurrecting, cult leading, sex offending, country singer Tony Alamo If you're in two minds.. just ask yourself, has Michael Jackson, Dolly Parton or Mr T.. ever not looked dope?

Excellent find! Def unwashed / unworn, they still have the back pocket sticker. Based on your current posting pattern, i don't think that day will be too far off

It'll have to wait.. i'm wearing a M11026, but my WH 506 work jacket is just rags held together with loose threads so at some point it'll have to go in the bin and i'll relegate the M11026 to work duties and start wearing the Silverstone

A new Phlegm piece went up a couple of days ago.. i though i'd leave it till Sunday before riding down there.. less chance of any cars obstructing my photos.. sadly, there was still a stupid metal thing parked in the way! Post industrial, city living.. the clothing / trainers are not drying on washing lines, they're purely decorative .. rode past this'un on my way home

Vintage Nike, Cascade, Run Off Tee ..the little spots are just rain drops 1984 ish Blue label.. Made in USA Single stitch construction

Someone around the forum asked if i'd do a little fit guide for the old SC47s I've had.. and still have numerous pairs of these but they've all been raw.. this was the first o/w pair i've owned, i wouldn't have chosen to buy o/w but they came to me as a part exchange for other denim goodies more than a decade ago and i've only just got around to wearing them. They're tagged 32" ..A lot of SCs have a notoriously nipped waist but if you can get the waist fastened comfortably (post stretch) .. they tend to drape through the legs, if you measure around my waist where my jeans sit, it measures 34" This is after a few weeks of wear / stretch Worn with vintage 1984-87 Nike blue label, Cascade Run Off Tee.. Wonder how long till Freewheelers 'bootleg' this one And a pair of Nike Elite Vntg repros Measurements as follows... The waist has stretched back to raw (or even a few MMs beyond) measurements

Of course..

Only photo i can offer is this white pepper Neal from back in 2012 or summat.. ..worn over a Homespun henley i bought from Inventory magazine store

Here's one for the collectors.. ..bonus Lenny photo ..it's a 35yr old deadstock Silverstone 506xx repro from 1990 ..according to 'denim legend'.. Silverstone (and subsequently Ground-Alls) went out of business because of the exacting standards of the perfectionist owners.. i don't know if this is true or denim-lore but they did go bankrupt producing an incredible repro during the golden age / largest denim-boom on the planet ..the very first cowhorn patch which has been oiled annually so it doesn't crack shirt weight denim as we would expect ..you'll not see another one of these this week, month, year.. probably ever

It's Neal Cassady

The only reason i've remembered it was because i googled Vicky Keys before i'd even cleaned my teeth

I was having a dream about @julian-wolf just before i woke up this morning .. I was in the local park and i spotted him throwing a stick for his dog but it wasn't his aussie cattle dog, it was the dog from 'The Dog House' which was on TV after CH4 News.. he said that he'd taken a job at the university and was looking to buy a house around the neighbourhood with his partner (who i think was Patricia Arquette from True Romance) .. next thing i was carrying some wooden step ladders back to someone who i borrowed them off in a previous dream.. my arms were aching and i realised i didn't know his address.. then i'm in the local pharmacy (which was a cafe in my dream) with JW and his partner, i was explaining that the average UK salary is £35k.. the mortgage company will base your loan on 3yrs of your salary but the houses cost £400k so you'll need £300k deposit which you will never save up because rent is more expensive than mortgage repayments.. so his partner says "this is why i keep printing short stories about Vicky Keys" (i've got no clue who Vicky Keys is... i googled it when i woke up.. still non the wiser) .. next thing she had an old manual printing press and she was printing the front covers.. which looked like old Y2K Faile graphics.. then i woke up
