I couldn't resist the new BlackBlue collab and spun the dice on them, hoping that the higher back rise and slightly smaller cut would work on me. Well, it works, but barely - this is definitely a different fit than my other Greasers (the more "classic" cut works better on me for sure). I think they will stretch out enough to be comfy though.

 

That said, the denim is beautiful and the craftmanship is superb, as always. And I really dig the patch design!

My pair stretched maybe a half inch or so in the waist after about 10 wears. I didn't size down though if that helps. I think once you break them in you should be fine. I'm already getting some nice electric blue fading along the inseam.

Great interview from Christian on Rawr Denim: http://www.rawrdenim.com/2015/03/rawr-denim-podcast-3-christian-mccann-left-field-nyc/

Hey everyone, I ordered the BlackBlue greasers this week and made a post on reddit earlier.

 

Also thanks for the fast shipping Christian!

So it's that time again... time for a 23oz update!

 

 

Those are looking great man. Are you wearing them year round?

Thanks and congrats to everyone! Looking forward to seeing what everyone picks up! I'm going to echo @Formula Pfaff's comments, great brand that I'll continue to support. I'm going to continue wearing the sweats of course and I'll be sure to post updates.

 

Also Formula you really do deserve the first prize for the great posts. Enjoy!

@vultureparade Nice work man! I love that the knee fade, whiskers, and honeycombs are so prominent on your pair.

I just took some pictures outside. Hope that's okay.

 

 

 

 

Also here are my Nisshinbo Chelsea's at 2 years ~10 washes. These are pretty much retired at this point as my thighs have gotten out of control.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Solid updates everyone! I'm going to take some pictures in a bit and then I'll edit this post.

 

Alright so here we go. I had to step out earlier and the sun is down now so I'm working with the best lighting I can get.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

@pepperdavies Wow! Great job on your sweats. Definitely RawrDenim Fade Friday worthy. Hope all is well.

@formula solid repairs for a first timer! Way better than I could ever do.

 

Here are some pictures from last week while shoveling:

 

Lol

 

 

I'll be sure to take some more pictures towards the end of the month. 

@Engineer05- Glad you got in on that sale. Great deals. I almost purchased a pair of the Black Maria's. The temptation is real.

 

@jyoni- Wow they look amazing. I love the modifications. Keep wearing them man!

@copper wow the inside of your cuff is nearly white. Crazy

 

@jortslife we need more pictures of you posing in front of minivans!

 

@jyoni plz. I want to see how your pair is turning out.

@Formula wow. I can't believe you have noticeable whiskers and honeycombs on sweatpants. Crazy. I guess I have to really wear my sweats hard until the end of the contest. BRING IT

 

The new collab really interests me. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Hey everyone, 

 

I finally took some time out to take some pictures of the sweats and the Candiani denim. Apologies in advance for the lighting and my posture. Really need to work on that. Thanks again to the Raw Hands duo on the pocket repair!

@altoclefchris- 23 oz are looking great so far!

 

@djatone Wow your Nisshinbo's look amazing. I wish mine still fit properly (stupid thighs). 

 

@satchel can I send in my sweats for repairs too!?

The new shop is looking great, I'll have to stop by sometime.

 

@guthriegking nice update. I see you have a small tear on your pocket though. Be weary of kids pulling on to them my 2 year old niece ripped mine last week.

 

 

 

 

@jyoni We need an update on your sweats! They probably have no indigo left on them at this point 

Hey everyone. I just took some quick iPhone pictures of the sweatpants. 7 months woohoo! I've mostly been wearing them around the house, to run errands, and at school occasionally. I just washed them for the fourth time over the weekend.

Enjoy.

I haven't worn the sweats since July started because it is really hot (more power to you @pepperdavies) but I took some pictures wearing my Left Field Jeans recently

 

Tobias Funke would be proud of me for wearing so much indigo

 

On Wednesdays we wear pink

 

My aunt is moving so I helped paint my cousins room over

 

Being that I am Haile Selassie   I had to get one last picture before we started

 

Hope everyone is having a good summer so far!

The Midnight Navy Magnum P.I. short arrived in the mail earlier today. Just took some quick pictures of them on my potato camera

 

 

 

 

 

Overall I'm very pleased with the shorts, another happy Left Field purchase. My favorite thing about the shorts are the chambray pockets and the nylon/cotton blend. I poured a little bit of water on them and they dried up pretty quickly. These are definitely my shortest shorts yet but damnit i'mma werk it this summer! I went with a 31 and probably could've gotten into a 30 but I didn't want to risk losing any range of motion. For reference I'm 5'11 150 lbs if any one cares. Well, thanks for looking and stuff.

 

Yours Denimly,

 

Selassie

Hey everyone, here is an update on my Nisshinbo chelsea's. I've washed them about 6-7 times so far. At the the one year 3 month mark now. Some more pictures of them as well as my recent @mfarmtown pickups can be found here.

 

 

 

 

@happybabyyoga- I love the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" thing going on, pretty cool!

Taken yesterday. J.Crew wants this to be a thing

 

 

Proof that the Z Train is real

 

 

Thanks for having me guys!

 

Oh last thing, we all need to thank the Denim Gods that Andrew is not in the competition. We would all lose so badly. Well, maybe @jyoni would have a shot

(1/2)

 

Got my Candiani's hemmed today. Andrew took some pictures of them and my sweats.

 

 

 

I'm loving the color on the Farmtown Denim X Jack Purcell collabs!
