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…
