No fades I'm afraid, @shredwin_206. I set them aside last fall once WFH became an extended reality (SC 47s and Momo 0901s proved more comfy in front of the home computer every day). I'll pull them back out in a few months, get them hemmed, and wear as "nice jeans" for the time being. I'm pretty sure they're still in stock, for what it's worth.

Speaking of where to buy Canes, anybody have a sense of how History Preservation is doing these days? Their inventory is very low and they don't seem to be restocking much of anything anymore, which is a shame since they were one of the few places to consistently offer un-soaked/raw Okis, Hawaiis and '47.

25 ) William S. Burroughs...a master of "junky style"

So, just a tad better than the Kerrygold US grocery store vintage I'm accustomed to.

^Red Leicester, aged I reckon.

Kudos @shredwin_206. I had my eye on the 47s, which dramatically shot up in price during the closing moments.

^Love it! This New Beat stuff is stellar. Front 242 was about the only Belgian outfit I can remember getting ahold of in the states in the early the 90s. After a little digging on Discogs, I was amused to see that Lords of Acid put out their first single on this Kaos label.

@Dan_F You can get used brooks brothers on ebay for very reasonable prices. I was on the fence about suspenders during the TCB 20s contest and saw that used BB was the easiest, low commitment route to a decent pair. I ultimately cut the suspender buttons off my 20s for what its worth. There are also the cheap czech military surplus ones floating around. If you end up liking suspenders, then https://www.forholdingupthetrousers.com/ is probably the way to go for a premium upgrade.

Thanks for the update @Dan_F

Found these @ Tempo Designs which carries FC, TCB, etc. $900 Hender Scheme "Moor."

The triple pleat looks really against those earth tones. Which pair of MFSC are those @dudewuttheheck? And you took this pic with your camera still in your hand!

Looking forward to learning how you find the Railcar compared to the 1st PAT-RN @Dan_F. I got a Railcar wabash when they first started making them and find it rather small and not especially contoured. I've actually been looking at the 1st PAT-RN as a potential replacement.

Just out of curiosity @Radiohead89 and @louisbosco why were you visiting this thread in the first place or at all? It's clearly marked; you didn't show up unawares. I could understand this level of involvement if the topic of pandemic masks surfaced in and crowded out other conversation in the blunders and nonsense thread. I don't visit the Watches and Denim thread because--no offense guys--but I think the relationship between watches and denim is tenuous at best and I don't wear a watch. I don't go to that thread to tell the people interested in that discussion that what they're invested in is frivolous or moronic by my standards; that would be petulant. Moreover, the mere presence of a pandemic mask thread on the forum isn't instigating a debate nor were the people that started the conversation here.

I don't know @julian-wolf...you tend to shit up the SC thread with totally helpful insights about the lesser known specimens in your collection and you frequently offer some very natural looking fit pics with a bit of breakfast in your hand or whilst out and about at the farmers' market. I mean, that most recent, terribly genial question you asked about the new SC x SE collab...who needs this crap? And let's not even get started on @Broark Neg rep sir!

Those types of Instagram posts and users seem to reflect a much different audience and much different corresponding values (compared those in the community here). The "flat lay" thing, especially with the dude sitting in the middle of concentric circles of his belongings, tries to testify to or champion his curatorial talents at the expense of what makes the clothes interesting or admirable. To wit, it's all about him and not about the clothes.
