When I first got into the denim scene I went out and bought at least 10 pairs of jeans. I thought at the time that I’d wear them all and rotate. That never happened, unfortunately. I basically started to rotate only 2 pairs per year and I’m still beating the crap out of them. They’ve both reached the point of needing repairs. My jeans haven’t reached Shredwin’s level of destruction but they’re getting there.

Clearly a case of someone with more money than sense. I know all of us will easily spend $200-300+ on jeans or flannel but I would argue that these items are worn and abused by all of us.

Same. Kicking myself for not buying any of his denim. Really wished he’d go back to making jeans but know it’ll never happen

Anyone have a tried and true method for stretching out a button hole without tearing it? I’ve got an IH 21oz type III that I hardly wear because I can’t get one of the buttons fastened

i’ve seen the Rollins Band several times as well as seeing Henry’s spoken word shows years ago. But, I have to be honest, Henry is a dreadful singer and this song is cringe. Now, get off my lawn lol

I’m American but don’t consider myself fat. I do have bitch tits though lol

I would argue that most blue collar workers aren’t dropping $300+ on a tin cloth Filson jacket or whatever. Filson has basically become a fashion brand. I have some of their MiUSA pieces but beyond that I won’t buy anymore of their stuff. I don’t wear Carhartt so can’t speak to their quality. I’m sure their prices are what appeals to blue collar workers and not the quality

I would’ve considered Filson a decent brand when most of their stuff was MiUSA, but nowadays they’ve shifted production overseas and are still charging ridiculous prices. And I think their fits are among the worst in the clothing industry....made for fat people

I used to own the Tacoma and sold it immediately. Only reason I’m posting a link is because the style is similar

I’ve decided to retire my chromexcel wallet because it had stretched to the point that my drivers license slipped out and got lost. It was a Mitchell’s leather front pocket wallet that I’ve been using for at least 7-8 yrs. Nice wallet but super irritating because over time it will stretch and your cards won’t be secure. At least I didn’t lose my credit cards

No long sleeve indigo henleys?

I like 3sixteen knits. Did they discontinue their indigo henleys?

Are there any denim brands you guys dislike, for whatever reason? Could be aesthetics, business model, etc. Not asking so we can collectively bash anyone in particular.

Isn’t that a good thing? My current issue is my jeans are going through a crotch blowout and my assumption is that the thicker the darning the longer they’ll last

Is Nine Lives still around or did they go out of business? I don’t own any of their clothes but like their aesthetic
