an ooe tux flex of such caliber can never be called sedate; oh the bandanna... long may he flutter

understanding very much discussions above; good luck with the socialisation; takes a village to raise the child... (or via Lev Vgotsky; it is through others we becomes ourselves...) 1960s finnish army surplus (m62) / lvc 1870s / pecos

comp or not, I have made my tux order: 46 jacket, 38w jeans (requested hemming to 80cm) cons: I need another jeans like holes in heads I need another jacket like a hole in wallet these jeans are not standard easy wear; slim-ish cut, yet thin material yes; one back pocket, no belt loop for keys etc. ultimate sloppy man baby diaper look pros; nostalgieeee: for those wanting 1990s jeans; this late 1800s models is reference from which Levis late 1990s twisted jeans was running (maybe more y2k refrance, but hey...) nostalgieeeeeeee 2: these were first model I got from lvc back in the late 90s; seeing as I run a trio of tcb, tender, lvc; wanna wee what tcb do with this original pair to build from having multiple lvc examples love of the meta; yes; no.2 as brand positioning... the first two Viktor's voice jackets don't look right (inc. lucky jeans): this is getting there more imo; mostly also tcb is obviously developing its own specific jacket pattern methodology of wide shoulders and sloppy fits: the numbers on this look squarer, even if not 'classic'... pockets looks excellent; both back pocket on jeans and front pocket on jacket yes to the styling in the shoot; not miner cosplay; more skatecore and sloppy old 'uns style: I appreciate that (definitely recommend not skating in any jeans with suspender buttons; had some nasty sk8 face-plants when wearing such jeans: they are placed to puncture skin in painful bony areas...); feeling this is a track suit more than anything... want to see how the fabric ages; every tcb pair I've had has been a journey; even the 10oz bib overalls have a lot to give: I expect these will be giving a lot given the status play of making an 1890s from an original; not had natural indigo from them b4 huge plus: ultimate sloppy man baby diaper look; goes well with pecos and converse... experience: said this in all comp. threads; every tcb jean I have owned has shrunk to tagged waist size; more ppl have dropped out from jeans being too small rather than too big... wearing big on these across time also allows layering needed in winter... yes; 31cm front rise seems small, but is in line with the last cone 1870s lvc offering (picture uploaded here is said w.36 l.34 pair - from raw soaked - line dried, not machine washed ) - the back rise is the core matter... can definitely understand hesitancy in uptake for a comp. - its not classic 5 pocket jawns, jacket has particular character; but it is what it is... a marmite model...

sun studies of 125 achilles heel overdye… fluffy fuzzy multiblue cosmos… hats off to professor (or is it mad scientist?) @rodeo bill - this fabric is top tier

very interesting! black buttons we hope! wonder how different they’ll be to the viktor’s voice one from a while back?

i’ll take ‘em… if they’re still available… (is 100 the price?)

looking amazing @scooby!!!!

quick 132 post wash denim check…

i’d be down for a 30s… but also something with a higher rise… and 18 months minimum… just washed my contest s40s; were hard to start with but now preferred over my 20s and 50s…

yaaaas! looking well and good sirrah! nice trail shoes and flower combo!

to clarify: as mentioned in waywt thread; 132 is from raw, 125 ‘achilles’ overdye; both start from very different places and i think the overdyed pair may have room to expand yet ie expecting a little more stretch in the 125 fr, ma thic butt has already done its work on the br… the measurements here; https://www.shopneighbour.com/products/tender-mens-125-high-straight-jeans-16oz-selvage-denim-x-achilles-heel are pretty accurate to what came through the post… and yes @julian-wolf your summary is pretty spot on: 125 is slimmer in seat and hips, but not awkwardly so… the 132 pretty much hangs on by the belt… different strokes…

plus as @julian-wolf was asking difference in 125 vs 132 here they are together (both sz 5, 125 the unfaded one) to get a sense of the different cut / pattern… one big difference other than thigh-knee-hem is back pocket size…

just posting up some 132 pix… fit, fade, denim quality… worn from raw… not hugely washed…

nice; like this? http://www.doxa300t.com/sharkhunter/sharkindex.htm looked at sinn u50 / u1 and various sinn ezm models for the longest time; but think the doxa has the most character; liking the domed sapphire of the doxa; early blancpain vibes…

many thanks @julian-wolf; your tender triples and @MJF9’s freewheeling triples are setting new sufu metas! in terms of top block comparisons between 125/132 (both size 5) it is hard to give conclusive evidence yet; the 132 started off voluminous and raw and has a few washes in its time whilst the 125 post-overdye came in a shrunken state that has needed some stretching out… with 2 days into wear on the 125, they do indeed seem fairly similar up top: the 125 has maybe 2cm more on back rise and a little less in the waist; first wear was tight but they’re relaxing now… otherwise feeling pretty positive towards them; more of a ‘standard’ jean compared to 132 but nice cut nonetheless: was hoping for more front rise but maybe there is stretch to come…

a triple header seiko turtle (a burly boy) damasko chronograph (very tacticool and super legible hands) doxa 300 (not the 300t, smaller all round, quite dainty in fact) plus better shot of doxa for luck…

thank you; good to be back! haven’t been posting as been lured by the call of the actually water proof and effecient warmth-to-weight ratio: charity shopped musto and folk wool-fleece as evidence… (gorpxyachtcore) back to spring back to denims: think have found a good partner to the tcb 40s jacket: tender 125 (‘achilles’ over-dye: natural indigo not woad methinks)
