the whole first year we spent thinking "there's no way we are doing this shit again. we've aged a million years and our body and spirit are beaten" and then somehow we forgot about all of that, had a second kid and during her first year where she had terrible sleep we kept going "was it this hard the first time around??". luckily my wife had taken good notes with figuring out schedules and we realized that our brains had buried that trauma deep down and tricked us into only remembering the cute moments.

Congrats! having kids is super easy. easiest thing I've done. you'll be back to normal life in no time.

I have the white version of those sneakers and they are seriously well made.

I’m contemplating getting a new pair of these Encinitas jeans. I’ve really enjoyed them. I’m not sure how much wear at this point.

eh he's basically a denim consultant for a bunch of brands who's very into himself. the article quotes him several times bragging about how he walks around and sees people wear stuff that he "made" which is really irritating to read. He does seem like he has a lot of knowledge about what makes a jean fit a certain way and what kind of traits in a denim will make the jean drape well so I'll give him that but otherwise, the world he operates in is mostly of little interest to me and he seems pretty insufferable. I imagine him to be the kind of person that overcomplicates things just for the sake of making himself seem like an expert.

now he wears a lot of Rick Owens so it's likely that he wears these sneakers too.

Congrats on the new gig. Good riddance to the old job.

oh wow that cap is cooked! looks great. mine still has a long way to go

They're def on the shorter side of what we are used to carrying but generally inseam length preferences have trended shorter and shorter the last few years especially as looser cuts became more popular so we've done quite well with the jeans. Many people have been able to just buy and walk out the store with them w/o needing a hem. We've actually sold through most of our initial delivery in a few months of carrying it so I think people have really embraced the shorter and looser style.

2ish month update. the fabric def fades on the faster side.

I found an unworn pair but the size was advertised wrong. It’ll be a few years before he can wear them.

My kids been wearing these made in USA Levi’s for a bit. They weren’t exactly unworn but they were quite dark when i first got them. These have become more expensive online and at shops but I’ve had some luck with people in the Midwest who don’t seem to care to do much research.

Got the shirt. 11oz cone with tonal stitching in size Large.

I got the 11oz cone mills one.

I got lucky and got the denim shirt while ignoring my kids at the playground 😅
