time for the right knee to get fixed.Used a thick sashiko thread I picked up while in Tokyo a few years back.

Red tab is getting quite tattered and the cat ear stitching is falling of. I’ve never been this exclusive to one pair before. I wonder how much will be left come November next year.

I’m looking for suggestions of indigo vests, preferably not plain denim, preferably not Western...  I’m intrigued by the IH dble indigo work vest but they don’t have it in my side anymore.

Blue blue japan has some great ones. Really love mine. Quality and construction is fantastic.

A hole in my left knee of my TCB60s. Patched up the hole with some fabric from a pair of lvc’66s which seems fitting. I think I’m at 8 washes now. Enjoy!

Seiko skx009J on a Strapcode super oyster 3D, wings + horns t and TCB60’s.

YMC (senforized denim from an undisclosed Japanese mill). Mended A LOT since I made them to shorts. 

Some intense puckering at the pockets.

@mlwdp I can’t get that link to work.

Yeah I’m also interested in these. If anyone gets these, please get som thoughts and pics up here!

What the F is that you ask yourself. Well it’s a pair of LVC(?) 1944 NWT selling at 270kr at Swedish eBay.

link for the full listing if anyone’s interested:

@mousemouse There’s a Denime store in Daikanyama. I don’t have the adress though!

Haven’t been able to wear jeans for the past 1,5 months due to super warm weather (for Sweden that is), but today it finally rained! Choo choo!

Finally rainy “normal” Swedish summer weather after 1,5 months of dry super warm weather.

The north face - Woolrich woolen mills - TCB60’s - Clarks 

@splash pitman just go with kicks advice then, wash on hot setting and dry on hot. Good luck!

Well ok then , two years ago I ordered some wasab denim jeans from " The circle brand " was advised on a size and while I got dicked around waiting for said special order I lost weight and for some unfathanable reason the size I was sent is exesivly large so after corraspondance with maker about size problem and build issues I sent them back only to get the same pair back again so now I'm done trying to get my size , Iv two choices selling them on and copping a loss or a successful shrink .

Googled “the circle brand” and only found “circle a brand”, is this the one you have dealt with? Have you contacted the maker asking if the denim is unsanforized or not? If it’s sanforized it won’t shrink much. If it is unsanforized stick with @kicks79 suggestion.

Link works fine for me. I get a clickable thumbnail which takes me to the jeans. Great find! They look awesome!

Only needed (wanted) low top 70s but I never can resist discounted 70s so got those "tangelo" canvas 70s too ^^

 

I know this has been discussed ad nauseam but how did you size those? I quite like those pastel orange ones! 

You call that tiny!? This used to be my fathers, a Omega DeVille from the 60’s. 

@i_denimI’ve got sneakers by Buttero, Vans Vault (Vans premium brand), Common projects and Diemme and the quality of my Buttero and Diemmes far exceeds the others mentioned. Both also have good arch support if that’s something you look for.

It’s been unseasonably warm here in Sweden for the past weeks so I haven’t worn any jeans. Not that I’m complaining.

1920’s LVC in a cotton/linen blend, patched up YMC cutoffs and ratty vans Slip-ons.

Yaaaass!

(trying out the new rep system)

Cool!

That sounds like a good idea! Congrats to the new job!!

Louise, first on every page! Really enjoyed your update! What a nice trip! Jeans looking good! On a related topic, does anyone know who’s judging the comp? @Megatron1505 !? Where are you?

It’s terribly quiet on this front isn’t it?! Compared to the TCB20’s comp we’re lousy at updates. Anyways, I’m at 5 washes now. Love the colour, should have sized down 1.

I’m no where near the above 2 but this is where my jeans are at as of today. 4 washes, 1 soak and I trip through the dryer.
