Don’t accept a Scottish fiver they’re only worth 3 quid

It's all the crazy instagramers, they want to park as near to the peak as possible, take a selfie and go home, like they've accomplished something.. my neighbours have been living in a van out there, they've said there has been an increase in parking tickets, to dissuade them. I like it when you see a car club out on a Peak District run out.. a convoy of Impreza WRX's for instance. The best car is always at the front, the worst at the back.. 40 something yr old men with 17yr old girlfriends.. alas, 40yr old women don't tend to hang out in B&Q car park on Friday and Saturday nights so their options of finding an age appropriate partner are limited.

I've just got back from the Peaks.. you're right, there are a lot more tourists out today, it's sign it's the school holidays. Good and bad experience for me.. the bad part was, i had an argument with a National Park (i thought he was more of a national socialist tbh) Ranger about whether or not i should be riding where i was riding.. a fat rambler joined in taking his side.. i showed them on my phone that i was indeed right.. they said, "ah, but that's the internet.. it was probably written by a spotty teenager".. well that's where you're wrong, i can tell you who wrote it.. it was Derbyshire County Council .. F'kin little Hitlers! The good part was.. i was so annoyed, i pedaled faster to get it out of my system and did a PB for the route Where did you get the parking ticket @MJF9 ?

Looks wonderful MJ! It's not gentrification.. it's always been a fancy-pants neighbourhood.. back in the late Victorian period, wealthy steel barons (the finance-bros of their era) fled the pollution of the east-end seeking out the fresh air of the Peak District.. building their houses in the S10 / S11 districts.. Old photos show kids walking to school nr Sharrow Vale in top hat and tails.. even 20yrs ago, S10 was still considered one of the most affluent postcodes outside Kensington and Chelsea. Regarding the accent.. My immediate neighbours are from Hackney, Lowestoft, Belper, Devon, Sydney, Taiwan and Holland.. so not many earthy Sheffield accents there .. the lead singer of the Arctic Monkeys lived just a stones throw from where you're eating your sandwiches.. so entirely faux-Sheffield accent Sadly i'm not one of the winners from all this postcode-prosperity.. when i bought my first house.. i desperately wanted to get out of Sheff.. it was just depressing, most of my old friends had either died, been incarcerated or sectioned due to the heroin boom of the post rave years.. We could have bought the tiny house we live in now for less money than the massive barn conversion we bought out in the sticks.. When our boy came along.. he would walk to his junior school through the farm across the street, stroking lambs enroute, it was idyllic but having been to a god-awful secondary school myself, i was determined to send my kid to a great secondary.. which meant moving back into Sheff and into S10 / S11.. but after the austerity of the Cameron / Osborne years a lot of house prices stagnated, ours included.. it took us 4yrs to sell it, we had 8 viewing during that time, ..i had to drop the price by £70k to secure a sale.. Austerity had no effect on the middle-class folks of S11 which meant the house we bought had 130 viewings in the first week and i had to pay £17k over the asking price.. so i was already £87k down before we moved in .. with Sarah's health issues, she wouldn't have been able to get a mortgage so i had to use my savings to pay off the old mortgage and start a new one from scratch under my name.. which is why i'm currently at work on a Saturday afternoon.. i'm overpaying like a mofo tho!.. i'm equally determined to pay it off while i'm in my 50s ..

Are you still after a 60/40 mountain parka @julian-wolf ? Check this out.. might be one size too small.

..for Dawson or the UK as a whole?

The pre-faded pairs look like something you'd buy at H&M

Snip off any loose threads i suppose

Has anyone kept tabs on this brand..? I haven't but i proxied a pair for someone years ago and i do remember they had quite an impressive line up of denim offereings.. cinch backs, chinos, salt and pepper deck trousers ect.. now they're MiJ and they only offer 3x different pairs or jeans with a pre-distressed option in the same cut.. https://www.dawsondenim.com/collections/jeans/Jeans

I did say that i would help rebuild it, on one condition.. that they hand over the keys to the forum to someone who we could trust not to fuck it up again. They wouldn't .. so it died

How the hell do you manage to mix up the 22501 with the 22501XX? They can't make it any clearer

Oh dear.. that's just tragic I don't know what's better @Maynard Friedman .. the Harry Styles one or this one below? They've only had 4x posts since May? I've just read through their handfull of contributions from the last 6mths.. it sounds like Mike has had some kind of breakdown

Early morning walk down to the Sunday market in the pissing down rain Paramo, Buco, Supreme shorts, Vans

I sometimes search the internet for denim infos and find exactly what I’m looking for in posts on Denimbro which I’ve written

He made a fkin Powerpoint .. that’s why! Ive filled my brain up with bike infos and it’s pushed out a lot of the denim infos

For something I used to live and breathe.. I’ve disappointed myself with my inability to retain infos from 10-15yrs ago.. I blame baby brain, in 15yrs time @Broark .. Slash Overalls will just be a distant hazy memory. Didn’t the guy who owned JK also have some connection to Rising Sun .. or is this some other half remembered memory?

Just for my own piece of mind.. am I anywhere close @Broark ?

Don’t remember that^ Mike Hoddis.. just come to me.

I can’t remember the details @Maynard Friedman .. wasn’t it something like .. Jack Knife was owned by somebody cool (his name escapes me) who made nice jeans and such.. then he handed it over to some grifters who ripped folks off, then to complicate matters further, there was a second imposter Jack Knife company based in the far east copying the brand? I knew this shit when I paid more attention to the denim0sphere, alas..

What i find strange about these folks.. same with Masterson's, they'll jeopardise it all for such a low-level grift.. although i don't condone, i do understand those folks who check out for £100k+ .. because it gets them out of a business that they might not want to be in.. but this bellend above, was doing something he loved (if he didn't love it, why is he still doing it now?) ..and with minimal amounts of internet-shilling, folks were literally queuing up to hand over large sums of cash in exchange for his work, all he had to do was 'the work' and his business would be a success.. but no, throws it all away for a few measly grand.

I know fuck all about this brand but my takeaways here are.. the leather shoulders on that first jacket look terribly cheap and shiny .. they’re repro-ing the 90s a decade after everyone else and the dude is wearing an outdoor jacket and hat indoors? .. is he trying to disguise the weight he’s put on?

Assuming we still have them of course
