Just curious, what image host do you use as I'm never able to see any of the pics you post, only these references to pic names

Role Clubs & PBJ. Grainy picture quality due to low light

That ig account must be some kind of a sick joke, it’s obvious that there are pics of more guys than just one. Still, can’t understand why anyone would want to post that 

Another shot of my Laco flieger

Are these Ikea hangers any better/different than other wood hangers with notches (that can be purchased on Amazon)? 

Can't answer that as I have no experience with Amazon hangers but they are the cheapest in our neck of the woods. And amazingly sturdy for that price, 50c each

I do like those Panerai, great rugged looking watches 

That’s what caught my eye years ago, not because Sly or some other celebrity was wearing one. From the start I knew I had to get one eventually. First I thought I’d pick up one of the Luminors with the big arabic numerals but when I saw the Submersible pictured above I knew this is the one to get. Only Pano that is better looking in my eye is a Bronzo but besides almost impossible to get those are out of my price range unfortunately...

And there’s really an ”industry” of making straps for Panerais which is great if you want choices.

These hbt Anachronorms are probably my favorites

These Cabourn collabs coming a close second

Doing the hated Viberg & Chups thing. Apologies for those sensitive to this type of thing, and for the shitty picture quality also

Thanks guys!

 Just curious, how are some of y'all storing/hanging your denim?  

I use these cheap IKEA hangers (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30238543/), hanging from the belt loops

A couple of shots, some from late last year. Sorry for the shitty pics.

Any new instagrams you're all following lately (or any sources of inspiration)? I've been pretty vocal on my distaste for the "curated menswear lifestyle" types who all seem to be the same guy with the same camera rolling up their selvedge skinnies to expose their Chup's and Viberg's; I'm getting super burnt out on the whole scene and am in desperate need of inspiration :/

I'm a bit late commenting on this (been away for a couple of months) but it's the same for most ig whatever the interest the poster holds dear. I'm probably one of those who post their Vibergs and Chups but how does it differ from multitude of Seikos or ig pages full of macro shots showing minute details of denim? Don't get me wrong but everything becomes repetitive after a while if it's not exactly your thing or you'd like more variety. And as I've commented on your ig keep the Seiko posts coming!

Btw, I don't like posters endorsing obvious freebies and have turned a couple of offers down (who would even want an ugly watch made out of wood?) but on the other hand there's lots of folks who post what they do because they genuinely like the stuff shown in the pics.

Double post

Great pics all! Regarding the IH Kanreki shirt seen in a couple of pics, did the shirt shrink a lot? The shirt seems to be overly long compared to other IH flannels if the measurement table is reliable

No experience in Fullcount denims but if you want more shrinkage why not try to wash in 60C? Or if you want to get some shrinkage just up top, soak the top block in 60C water. Might not work but no harm done. I wouldn't hem them, like those cuffs.

They are made to your individual measurements

One year wait is over. The process wasn't the smoothest but the end result made it all worthwhile. Role Clubs in brown horse hide from my ig.

Standard&strange ooe yufukuten saddle pants

Or

Rivet&hide RJB RFR004 relaxed tapered

Why not both? That's what I did 

Hopefully you did a proper wash after the sand / sea 'wash'...

Got the saddle pants today, managed to button all the buttons right away while holding my stomach in. The washed denim feels so soft compared to some others I have. Thanks Neil and Jeremy for your help!

Picked up the new relaxed taper R&H collab rfr-004 in raw and gave it a 90 min machine wash without detergent in 40C. Is there more shrinkage to be had in subsequent washes or am I good to go?

I was laughing out loud when I saw the comments on the SE model's biceps being too large! Really? I understand that bodybuilders (arms) are not for everyones tastes, but this? The guy has normal arms in my books; sure, it's evident that he's been working out, but nothing extra ordinary. Better this than some 90 lbs weakling.

Interesting reading. Regarding Clinch, as those are mto-pairs, did you visit them earlier or post them your measurements re:Role Club?
