thank you both kind sirs! [and just to share the basics, doesn't shrink too much [it is receiving 15 min front loader 40c washes], seems to be all cotton stitching - hence lovely puckers - is generously sized everywhere [wearing a 38 whereas for lvc jkt would wear a 44] except for length - but that makes it a nice hoverer between blouson and chore... loving the scalloped front... as wearing it between jkt & shirt the collar is expected first place of blow out / fatigue]

been washing a little some deets o' puckering etc. boncoura 20s style chore jkt [bluer irl] and for thread posterity, as worn (xpost from waywt and/or tcb20s contest thread)

indeed: they provide the strangely comforting feeling of wearing extremely robust tank-slippers

yes, yes & yes [loving the old boys tuckd baggy steez and the jeep gal go-fuck-yrself swaggr]

thanx [- and srs respect to yr style innovations] the most serious shoe investment I have made yet into the only brand I have seen recommended by swat instructors alongside dearest eastern hipsters and also biblical trump-ish hunters (and I thought I was going for relaxed summer style to replace poor options of chucks, desert boots, birkenstocks...)

^ hua hua hua joining the casul moc-toe revolution of @istewi, @volvo240thebest, @Spiraltoy... dickies, tcb20s, russell moccasins (not custom made, so requisite no. of internet points to be deducted...) being eyeing up yuketen for so long, but then these come along...

^ exciting so some usual sharing stripes and such sartorial art-pix n whatever rose english, william eggleston, franz west blossoming spring the salading fruits of the garden (inc. mibuna, kale flowers, rocket, fennel etc) spring-summer fitz: inc. orslow, dickies & russel moccasins & pink assistant (nu summer shoes as recent internal commotion)

hey; sorry not to have seen the post earlier! simple answer; yes (but opposite side to Levis - i.e. on the fabric closest to body)

Looking fine @Bobbo and agreeing with flash and mjf9 - lee can do with some picture luvving too...[how to repair that collar; who is in mind to fix it up, or are you getting yr needle and thread to the ready - always loved the bandana almanac and @naritabby posts on repairs and fixology]

great finds @Bobbo!!! filson score is to die for... looking fwd to the fits...

^ one day at a time... at this point i don't need a small army to pull them off, but during the breaking-in process, a teeny-weeny crack in the leather appeared in the vamp, I believe from accumulated pressure of instep of foot winning over instep of boot - not at a bending point so can't think what else it would be [boot too small, you say... perhaps, went with the 'size down half for 2268 redwing' advice proffered both online and instore, and they pretty damn comfy now but def. won't fly off when I throw my dramatic highsteps] was going to leave the boot without too much love, the odd bit of dubbin if needed, but now mink oil has been sought, bought, applied, prayers offered to the boot-leather-gods... [was aiming not to be precious about them - got them to see what engineer boots are like [and enjoying the style greatly, esp. the aggro heel and the bulbous toe of that model] and also to see what it is like to have a boot that really doesn't need babying and bears more abuse than my usual english cuntry style - and here I am offering cuddles and night-time soakings...]

another month, another wash

duh. yassssssssss!

^ those are some nice jeans!

^ mmmm hmmmm seriously considering the rough out peco...
