Love to see all these well-worn pairs of jeans on a single page. Keep it up, fellas.

All paid up. 🤑

Hmm, could be a fun challenge to list. I've given away twice as many jeans as I own currently - 16. TCB '50s Contest TCB S40s Contest TCB Seaman's Trouser x 2 Warehouse 700 Warehouse 1001XX Warehouse Signet Contest Full Count 0105 (Old) Full Count 0105 (New) Full Count 0105 Super Smooth Roy (I don't know, something wide and Black Seed Cone) Roy Leroy Deviants Contest '47 Evisu 2001 No. 2 Left Field Greaser Mister Freedom Lot64 LHT I think that's everything. WoMCon incoming.

That's my understanding. Nothing more to it than a play on 501 and a nod to EVH.

🤣Apologies are in order to you as well it seems. My sincerest.

@blooming, I don't think this patch was very shriveled to begin with. If anything, it's a little tighter at the edges now than when new. But yes, lovely leather aging on the patch.

@MJF9, looks great! Would love to see it with an Oxford and colorful Shetland. Give a bright, contrasted background in both color and texture.

More 0105.

SOLD

The Red Wing 9060 Flatbox in a teacore black is one of the absolute best bang for buck boots out there. It has style elements of boots twice and three times its price, MiUSA and a generally good fit. I wanted a pair badly back in 2017/2018 when they were a Japan exclusive. No need for them now as I have the Lofgren M-43 in black, but had these been available in the US for $400 back then, I would have been all over it.

@rbeck A personal favorite as well. Killer costumes!

I have the jacket and the pants. It's a great jacket. The entire experience of the cloth in the pants translates perfectly in the jacket. As for the cut, it's a nice, boxy, properly short-cut Type I fit.

Finally picked up a Ranch Blouse. I've been wanting one for years. It's the only non-repro that rivals the originals. Size 40 in the OG23 Cone denim. Looks like my Warehouse Type I will be up for sale soon.

My preferred pizza toppings are very location dependent in New York. Best Pizza has an amazing seasonal vegetable that isn't conventional in the slightest (often some potato and artichoke). Old Lombardi's did it just right with garlic sautéed spinach. Rubi Rosa's tie-die pie is pretty perfect. Lucia nails a cream of spinach variation. So many good options. When I make pizza, it's usually sauce, mozzarella, basil, red onion and black olives. If we end up getting these jeans in-hand for a mid-December start date, I will be blown away by the efficiency of execution.

Looks good, @scooby! I have the same jacket. I have the matching jeans to my uncle who's worn nothing but 501's from the 50s to today. He loves them. Don't be afraid to wash it with fabric softener. You're not going to hurt anything, but tumbled lightly after using liquid softener should soften that dry, crunchy texture a bit and leave the fabric feeling more pliable.

@bartlebyyphonics They're the Sebago Campside.

I saw Basinski at LPR a couple years ago. He was fantastic.

Busy, busy at the shop. Lil sweaty and knackered. All denim Games Suit.

I was at this concert back in the spring. It was a cold, windy night sat freezing in the cemetery, but well worth it. The monastic vocals that swell are also being produced live by Colin with a microphone taped to his throat he produces those vocals while playing the saxophone. It's pretty unreal.

I came across this last weekend. Mingus was my entry point to jazz and Coletrane's "Live at the Village Vanguard" with Eric Dolphy changed my entire conception of what jazz could be. Dolphy and Mingus together, live and in color is transcendent.

Not that anyone asked for it, but I'm casting a vote for #WoMCon as the official contest hashtag. I'd been wearing the 11 oz 0105's all summer. As the weather is cooling, I'm rotating in my Leroy's and Mister Freedom Lot64 LHT. Both of the latter are White Oak denim with the 64's measuring up where I expect the 36 WoM to end up. A lot of top block there, but should drape better in the Shinya fabric. About to send those OA01's off to buyer so I'm net 0 for jeans on the contest!

@UkeNo, I like where you're going with the styling on your pair.
