Good one @julian-wolf thank you!!!!

Anyone having trouble with their top button falling out all the time? Any tricks?

Baggy contest jeans this time around

Woohoooooo! Let’s do this! Might also do my Hendrix parks jeans too, as a little extra since we’re going 2 years. unborn 132 size 3 hemmed short

I was not able to attend unfortunately but here’s @high.grade.u.s.standard pics from the event. From what people told me it was a beautiful celebration, lots of his friends and family, people who knew him well there. I believe Kiya will be doing another memorial.

Was chatting with William and I want something that might look nice with my hemp wool 900, I’ve only worn it a couple times. Seems like a lot of us are doing suits! I’ve got the fresh 132, but thinking I might get type 132 black hole too. So hard to decide!

Here are some measurements for size 2 and 3 and type 132 and 136 that William sent me, maybe they can be helpful for someone else. 132 size 2: waist: 31" front rise: 11.25" back rise: 14.5" thigh (3” down from crotch): 12.25" hem: 8.25” inseam: 36” size 3 Waist: 33" Front rise: 11.75" Back rise: 15.25" Thigh (3” down from crotch): 12.5" Hem: 8.5" Inseam: 36” 136 Size 2: Waist: 31" Front Rise: 11.75" Back Rise: 15" Thigh (3” down from crotch): 12.5" Hem: 10.25” Inseam: 36" Size 3: Waist: 33" Front Rise: 12" Back Rise: 15.25" Thigh (3” down from crotch): 12.75" Hem: 10.5” Inseam: 36"

I’m in! Got a fresh pair of 132 that have been waiting for their moment!

As usual, I’m in, rebuilt, tender, both! I’ve got a pair of tender squirreled away that I’ve never worn just gotten hemmed.

Just my 2 cents, but I’ve been super impressed with Hendrix Parks, he’s super eager and does beautiful work. He worked at greasepoint for a couple years and learned to sew and construct and now is making his fatigues in Sausalito. I now have 3 pairs of his pants and looooove them. I’d be happy with any decision, but here’s a little taste of the ones I got from him after visiting his shop a few months ago.

ROY was one of those people if you knew him, you knew him well. He had a way about him that was really intriguing, witty, deep, and as another friend described, he had an almost monk-like quality. He had a really interesting life and diverse group of friends. If he liked you, you knew it and he was generous to so many people. His roots in skateboarding were so deep, and in denim and in his friendships. He didn’t like the notoriety that the denim world brought him, it was too much-he wanted to just be regular. He loved Oakland, especially running up in the Oakland Hills barefoot, and afterwards getting a homemade poptart and coffee at Cole Coffee, where I would meet up with him and talk, sometimes for hours. There will be a memorial for him in Oakland at his friend’s bar Thee Stork Club Sept 27th, 2026 from noon to 5pm. 🩵ROY

Simo made me a pair of WW2 and is supposed to be shipping them soon. Can post pics when I get them!

Well, I’ve really enjoyed this one! Thanks to everyone @MJF9@wordofmouth I basically only wore these 2 days a week, because I’m working mainly from home and playing a lot of tennis and pickleball when I’m not working. The denim and the jeans have held up really well, countless washes! I started this contest with this @Duke Mantee belt and wore it with these jeans. https://imgur.com/a/BLJ15ht

There are no words for the loss of him as a human and as a denim maker. ROY was one of the most unique and interesting people I’ve ever met, he was smart, quirky, and good at everything he did. I hope we do some kind of tribute for him here in the Bay and on here, he was truly one of a kind. I will miss him dearly. 🩵
