My kid keeps destroying pants. I’ll have to sew in double knees at some point. Some 80s Levi’s with some serious leg twist, nippers that prob shouldn’t be worn much anymore, wranglers and some modern carhartt that didn’t hold up nearly as well as the other pants. I used some flat head and roy denim scraps as well as some canvas and flannel fabric swatches from Seuvas.

I don’t wear these 1947 jeans as much anymore but they’re looking great. I’ve the last round of repairs on the fabric and stitching fixes, i leave them as only occasional wear so they don’t get too messed up.

Looks like someone needs more time in the chamber of dark tears.

I won't stop until you look like this

it's that high priced Rick Owens type of humor.

any employee who speaks poorly of Rick Owens publicly or privately is made to sit on a metal uncomfortable chair in a dark chamber listening to music that alternates between romantic era classical music and abrasive industrial music until they come out looking like a ninja alien. we do a similar thing if someone speaks ill of Toyo except they're made to sit in an almost period correct 1950s bedroom complete with asbestos in the drywall and made to listen to rockabilly until they come out wearing a full denim tux. we take things very seriously.

It took me a little bit to understand the humor in a lot of Rick Owens' stuff but it's one of the more fun brands where a lot of the designs are intentionally humorous in all sorts of ways. I mean how you can create this sweatshirt and not think it's funny? Coming from my experience where I haven't really change the way I dress in the last 15 years and I still tend to lean more towards the simple very "normal" looking clothes for the most part, it's been really a eye opening experience to learn more about brands outside of the ones I knew well. I've been fortunate enough now to have spent the last 5-6 years going to showrooms for all the self edge brands and it's really interesting to spend days looking and discussing SDA, flat head, samurai, iron heart, etc and then (often times on the same days) go into showrooms with brands like Rick Owens, devoa, rigards, the viridi-anne, motiv, etc. While obviously atheistically they seem like that they have nothing in common, they actually all share very similar viewpoints in how much they pay attention to fabrics, treatment or lack of treatment of the materials, and the really intricate understanding of how something should be constructed. I think of it like two sides of the same coin where you have one side with brands that are more conservative and/or rigid when to comes to deviating from the source material and the love and passion for what they do comes from staying close to the originals and just making their best version of that and then flip over to the other side where you have a group of brands that understand the source material and history but find interest and joy in deviating and pushing designs in different ways. Like with all genres of clothing brands/styles, there are a lot of brands that I think are no good and are actually shit but I think at least for me, I've got this reinvigorated love for this stuff and it's helped me feel less serious and defensive when I see styles that deviate from the norm. While I still love seeing another version of a Type I and straight leg jean in a deep indigo denim, it's a nice balance to then also experience brands that make something a little more out there but still made as well as the stuff I'm used to wearing. Some would say this is the Rick Owens of burgers. (it looks delicious)

oh shit. that's really scary. glad you came out mostly ok. fucking up the jacket on day 2 of wear is rough. with a hole like that, it could look cool with a more ornate sashiko repair? an aesthetically pleasing souvenir of surviving.

I'd say it's a pretty moderately fading black jean. I gave mine away to a friend so I can't a photo of it but this is the fading I got around 3 months of actual wear and a few washes. https://imgur.com/a/sugar-cane-black-1947-3-months-of-wear-5-washes-IiobBrs

wwwoooowwww that flasher is so wild for many reasons

Panic! At The Crotchholes Butthole Blowouts

AntiFits The Unhemmed The Darned

Grand seiko SBGA415 Taisetsu and imperial jeans

hems take way shorter than repairs! hems generally are 3-5 days but sometimes you get lucky if you drop off right when the tailor is there working on hems so the turn around is quick. repair times will vary...generally around 3-5 weeks but can creep up if we get bombarded with repairs.

whoa, I've never seen this fabric from FH. very cool. you're right...the wear on the thighs looks like there was a decent amount of wear but everything else looks like it was pretty unworn.

hey some of us here have hairless muffin tops. dont forget about us.

no while both are essentially straight cuts, they do fit differently. It's most noticeable in the top block where the 47 feels trimmer with more tapered waist. the 46 is a little more anti-fit in shape and has the obvious design quirks. the 46 fabric feels noticeably rougher and uneven than the 47 which is more uniform and has a smoother hand. I'm no expert in vintage but from what I've read and heard from sugar cane, the wartime fabrics were a little lighter in weight than the post war fabrics.

Warehouse can be confusing on the naming and knowing what fabrics are being used but I just took a look at the most recent line sheet and it looks like the DD-1001 1947 uses the no.7 x no.7 13.5oz tri-state US cotton and the 1001XX(1000XX) 1947 uses 7.5 x 7.5 pink selvedge denim which sounds like it should be the DSB. I'm not sure if that was different previously though.

yeah this denim seems like it'll fade with a decent amount of contrast. I'm already getting some lighter blues on the knees and backpackers. This belt is so beefy. it's the only belt I've had where the leather has not really stretched even though it's been my main belt for years.

I picked up the FN-D111. I really like the wider fit of these jeans and how they don’t run super small esp compared to flat head jeans a few years back. The denim is closer to the deep indigo color of the pioneer denim. It crocks a lot more than the jeans I’ve worn the last few years. I’ve only worn them a week but I’ll be washing them soon.

Smoking while doing that is also part of it https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzzcRm1hHtw/?igsh=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA==

yeah these are the 47s!

Just washed these imperials again after 2 months ish of wear. I’m really enjoying how this fabric ages and feels.

have Australian breakdancing jokes been over done yet? if not, here's my contribution If it's anything like breakdancing, I look forward to seeing what comes out of Australia.

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.
