All my orders from Inoue have arrived in Sweden about 4-5 days after he posted them. 

That’s good to hear! Haven’t heard anything yet so I don’t know if he’s gotten them in the mail yet though.

Ordered a pair of tcb 60’s from Inoue with a hem job. Ordered a week ago so hopefully they’ll arrive soon. If they don’t fit right I have a pair of lvc ‘47’s on the way as well but hoping for the tcb. Anyone got a clue as to how long it usually takes to the EU? I’m based in Sweden.

Payment sent. Dono what I’ll buy yet though. SC47’s, TCB60’s or Porkys66’s. tbd tonight.

So, I’m low in funds and have troubles choosing which jeans to order. Can I pay the fee and order, say a pair from tcb directly (I’d like the masters chain stitch for something this prestigious) and get pics up once I get the jeans?

When I store clerk tells you it’s your fault or wear and tear most of the time you can still get the item repaired at their expense or a replacement. Now it might be to late but always try to argue or ask for the supervisor/manager. 

I would try to fix it myself with needle + thread or if you don’t want to do that, visit the local tailor. This is a really easy fix (it should be cheap).

Sorry if this is a noob question but how are we to prove that the denim just have 30 wears? Just bought a NWOT pair of pbj xx-009 but have no proof of purchase.

Lovely Thread idea! I've only got one pair of fancy socks: UES toe socks. Very hard wearing, kinda like Rockford red heel (the sock monkey sock)which I also own a couple of pairs of. I can recommend Tabi. Bought loads when in Japan. Great selection, prices and quality.

Yeah, that's the reason why I didn't wear them after that first soak. A lot of anti fit in the seat, really wide legs and huge hip bulges. -stuff I really wasn't into at the time.

As per request here's my d62xxx. Bought mine many years ago but just started wearing them last year. Maybe 6 months effective wear time and about 8 40c washes (line dried) with 2 initial hot soaks.

Has anyone hear of Worker's studio? The jeans in question have a typical Levi's homage paper patch but instead of horses pulling apart the jeans there're 2 frog princes. Laurel leaf donut button and zip fly. I've only seen them online and I wonder if anyone has handled them and can comment on quality?
