Speaking of Chromexcel, here are my Wolverine 1000 miles after 4 years of heavy wear:

just got them back from Brian at Role Club, he does amazing work, takes forever though...

I'm not a fan of Oni's in pants form, but god damn does the fabric look good in jacket form! 

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been a bit sick and out of commission.

Anyway today I went to the Women's March here in LA to protest the new regime and I brought the Denime's along with me:

Nothing too serious, just a huge storm that rolled through. LA does not do well with large amounts of water.

No worries about that fall Ian, it adds to the story. Speaking of adding to the story, we had flash flooding today in LA and I had to save my car before it was under water, subsequently the Denime's took one for the team:

I would most definitely join in on a group buy like this Volvo. I was going to try and have a one off made, but I can wait until all the measurements are dialed in. 

Crazy, have not seen a system wall like that before.

Alright here are some comparisons from when I had them last:

Forgive my Lightroom skills, I think I might have gone a bit overboard with the color correction the last time I had them (today's pictures are more true to color). Anyway, there is not much difference, but the top block has lightened up considerably, also of note is the difference in the knee from all of our different heights. 

^ha was just gonna say the same! I'd be so confused on that wall.

Thanks everyone! and Chicote, I'd love to read that book.

I just spent the weekend out in Joshua Tree and the Salton Sea with my wife and two dogs, and of course, I brought the Denime's along for the ride. If you have ever been out to the California desert, I highly recommend it, it is a really strange place to explore, with vast desert, abandoned buildings, HUGE ecological disasters (Salton Sea), and a community of lawless people living as free as they can.

We spent our first day in Big Morango, and Joshua Tree, where we explored and had a few meals before having a relaxing night:

The next day we headed down to the Salton Sea to explore a bit of the stranger side of the desert. For those of you that do not know about the Salton Sea, it is the largest lake in California that is actually highly toxic due to it's lack of drainage and shallow depth. It used to have a thriving tourist economy back in the 50's before it became the dead body of water it is today:

After the Salton Sea, we headed to Salvation Mountain, the work of one man who was still building it up until his death at 80 years old. I'm not a religious man, so it felt a bit strange to impede on those who were there out of faith but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All in all it was a great trip out of the big city!

Sorry for the lack of updates, been pretty busy. Here is proof I am wearing them though! Once I get back from Joshua Tree I'll have more to contribute.

The tour is not forgotten! Second round for me! Thank you Cucoo for sending them off and the postcards/seeds. 

Nothing remarkable is happening yet, but I'll be heading to Joshua tree this weekend so I'll be sure to document my time, I'm also planning on doing some side by side comparisons of when I had these last when I find the time today.

Too hot today for my 50's jacket so my old Imogene and Willie got pulled out of the closet.

Take this with a grain of salt since it's Denimio, but they have them as slightly higher rise than the 103, and a slightly smaller hem width. They look to be somewhere in between the 107 and 103 with a higher rise than both and a similar thigh to the 103 Â¯\_(ツ)_/¯

From what I can tell from the interwebs and bad Google translation, it's their non-repro inspired line, no archs, no pigs pulling apart jeans, more modern cut. Here is a review from a Korean denim blog; http://blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?blogId=sjonthemoon&logNo=220596849175

@unders Glad to see another Perfecto style jacket, seems like they don't get much love around here.

Thanks! They don't get much wear these days as they are a bit snugger than I'd like but I am loving how they are shaping up, and the 18oz denim is perfect for the "colder" days here in LA.

Maybe this should go in the what's next thread 

It really is! I was able to keep the full thighs and higher rise but get rid of the 90's look that the 8.5in opening was giving me.

I'm actually thinking about doing the same with a pair of TCB 50's.

I'll take a second round!
