I suppose what I’m saying is that I think it’s good to add a bit of your own style into the mix rather than simply copy someone else. I don’t mean that as a criticism, just a thought. However, if you don’t like belts, then discard my comment immediately 

didn't figure out that Hayashi owned a copyright on the no belt thing!

Provided the quality of the pasta and sauce you're using/making (I'm a big fan of La Molisana) the single thing that makes a difference the most I think is to finish cooking the pasta in the sauce. Just drain the pasta three or four minutes before is cooked and toss it while still nice and moisty in the sauce, add a bit of water, turn the heat on and stir like there's no tomorrow to make the gluten work its wonders and thicken the sauce. You have to make a complete mess of your kitchen as well, otherwise it doesn't work. Give me your email for my consultancy invoice. It's not going to be cheap I'm afraid.

I like the no belt style. Showing off proper sizing ; )

Hi, just asking for the nth time about the fit of 50s and 60s tcbs as the size charts ive seen range from undersized by 2 inches ro tts. If i wear a 34 on most sugarcanes, fullcount and most brands except the type evisus, do i need to get a 36 on tcbs? Also how is the stretch on these?

Measure your natural waist and size accordingly. Eg. my waist measures at 92/93 cm just a smidgen ove 36 inches and I'm a 36 on all tcb cuts. As a comparison I sold my SC47 size 36 because they were too loose.

That's the one! I would say go for it. I love Moscot frames both for style and quality. 

may give it a shot, perhaps in christal color. I like that Moscot offers clip ons for most of their models, not for the Zolman unfortunately.

looks fine to me, just don't button it up to the top

I like the glasses, Moscot Zolman?
I want to try a very round pair of glasses for a change.

my friend @mariano_vittori has a pair and wore them a good bit. He doesn't speak much English though.
they're a Lee Cowboy 1930s cut repro. The denim is rht rather than lht because back them the lht wasn't introduced yet by Lee.
If wide is what you're after consider the 50s as well. Amazing jeans and fabric.

Is she a new student?  A fun student life is waiting for you!  Congrats!

Is the gown she is wearing a uniform?  It's different from Japanese children.  cool!

yes, first day at primary school, she's 6. A milestone in her life.
In Italy we don't have a strict school uniform code. Kids in primary school have to wear an apron but they're not all the same, usually either white or black.

SO MUCH FLEX

It seems the minimum level attire when you lay your paws on a beaut like that!

If anyone fancies again to hear me talking in my perfect English I'll be doing a live streaming with Hajime and Ryo this Saturday sept 12th h 12.00 Italy time. I think it's 19.00 in Japan.

I'll be explaining my intricate Dremel® techniques and how I intend to bring back to the land of pizza and mandolins the crown.

Happy Birthday @volvo240thebest

To me, a real Italian would wear his tcb contest jeans with what they used to call a 'wifebeater' - a string vest, like Pesci and De Niro did in the films.

 

Oh yeah, couple tomato sauce stains, toothpick and a fierce muffin top. I'll have to do that.
