I didnt care for vests but got one recently and now I'm annoyed when I dont have it on. my other clothes have such little functionality compared to it. I guess this is how I end up becoming those old asian uncles I grew up with and wondered why they always had vests on. I already found my cold tolerance has gotten worse so this all makes sense.

banana prices are the new eggs here in the US.

fwiw, the fit looks great on you and the fabric has worn in nicely. I have the same thing where I get bored with the smoother, more uniform denim but then I'll put them on or see someone wearing a worn in pair and I'm into them again.

From the get go it seemed like they were super ambitious and I always wondered how they were actually doing...turns out, not so good.

My resolution to not buy any pants in 2025 lasted 3 months. I got the Boncoura painter pants in the 15oz black warp white weft denim. I generally avoided this color of denim but this one is pretty dark and not metallic gray looking and i like how i can wear it with other black clothes without looking too monochrome. The fit is pretty roomy but has some shape to it still. The slight taper in the leg is nice when the top block and thighs are on the wider side. Boncoura details are always fun with the hidden coin pocket, selvedge id on the inside of the back pockets and branded zipper. I went with the raw hem which I’ll probably chain stitch later down the line when I’m sick of this.

Yeah it’s the same denim. I think it’ll look really nice in jacket form. The denim ages on the faster side with good contrast. I washed my jeans a lot and it still shows a lot of contrast.

I’ve been wearing these D111 LHT jeans most days the last 3-4 months. It’s got a lot of vertical lines forming and fades are coming pretty quickly.

oh yeah I forgot that Birkenstock was owned by them. sucks. I'm probably close to needing to get a new pair after years of wearing my last pair. I'll have to look at alternatives.

nope. I've contributed to probably 5-6 kickstarters over the years esp right when kickstarter was really getting going....all of them got funded many times over the initial goal and I think only 2 of them were fulfilled.... one was for an album that actually got made and the other was a board game that got very delayed but at least delivered....the unfulfilled ones were a some kind of physical product where 2 years after funding, the founder sent an email out that it was never going to be made and that we could file a dispute with our CC company, another was a cafe that actually opened up and is still open but many people never got their coffee orders nor do they ever respond to questions about it....I also contributed to some musical projects where nothing came of it and the musicians just went on making other music. After the last ones where the updates stopped, I stopped contributing to any unless they were for someone I knew.

Yeah for the most part. I first sew the edges of the hole to clean it up without the patch and then i do another pass to sew the patch on around the hole. Then i just finish it up with a design to sew down the rest of it. I’m working on cleaning up the backside but generally this is enough to have the repair stay on with repeated wear and wash

oh wow. that's a very wild thing to think about as an American.

it's a great album. Corey also mixed Trauma Ray's new album which was really good. Also on that same vein, I've been playing the new Balance and Composure album a ton.

I have an unworn masterson shirt up for sale. It looks like a black white chambray with all the usual Masterson details. Chest 45.5” Length: 29” Sleeve: 26” Shoulder: 19” $100 shipped in the US. International shipping will have to be worked out individually.

It's interesting how the love/hate for leg twists comes in and out with style/fit trends. When slim tapered jeans were very popular, I remember having to have this conversation constantly about leg twists and some people having an internal crisis when they discovered their jeans twisted after some wear and wash. in recent times, it's been a lot less...
