and to qualify this: i am no expert in ooe / warehouse but to me (who most rotates around lvc / tender / tcb): they have the nice weight of lvc, but the more generous cut of tender (but with a better rise…), with the nice ‘hand’ and accurate wonky stitching of tcb (but again the pattern sits in a balanced sweet spot the tcb s40s and the 20s didnt quite achieve as splendid as they are): it all might just be size up euphoria…

early days: but currently consider these to actually be pretty perfect as a pair… nice work Simone! subtle but extremely wearable: goes with a range of styles doesn’t scream but has nice balance (in terms of pattern and fabric weight): suits both casual and more public situations… am enjoying (imagine it will be good across seasons too…)

pizza landings raw and cooked montage as shortened xposting from starter thread… mobile fabric from large to little and sure they will find largeness again…

the pizza has landed… & pre-soak fit (big bois) plus raw deet-lets… and a nice damp str8 out the machine fit check (washed 1hr at 40c, spun not machine dried) and post wash mini-deets… (so long patch it was nice knowing you… and hello dearest crinkles, hairiness n roping…)

meeeee… parcelforce have them and are sending me the hmrc import sting via snailmail letter … probably have by next week at this speed! play on dear ppl! lovely fits all (and better to have too much butt than too little in all things considered)

ass munchers?

nice: all within expectations … sounds like wmj 40 is approx to tcb 38! not sure i’d 40 everything but could see an ooe 40 as a good call… plus happy belated birthday @CSL!!!

all looking good: mine is in a uk depot… hoping to get my grubby thighs innthem soon! enjoy your headstart ppl! plus: excellent fit @aho: what is waist size of 40 after wash and wear pls?!

looking nice: everytime i see a rick owens (which is rare, i’ll admit) in the wild i cant help but think of frugal aesthetics’ sneaker alignment chart…

fixed

for me: ‘label created, not yet in system’

apologies @vIGGiou riou more word salad incoming pizza five pocket pants proving ground pizza and pants are such lovely words together… love pants shop avenue shop name also something to acknowledge available model range, 30s to 60s via 2x wwii and 50s van halen… so many options from one maker - a first in sufu land?: that bears referring to… wmj x sufu competition: pizza pants five toppings face off

a combo of these two: ‘sufu wmj comp: a collective word of mouth five pocket pants experience’ or ‘wmj comp: a sufu-pizza jawns showdown’ or… ‘wmj comp: delicious waist overall competitive wearing process: tasty fades guaranteed’

@Thicolas Rage- great full legged fit on the 30s: agreeing with others: if the hemming structure is good: dont mess: although i am fussy re: hemming colours myself: but good roping trumps it…

tracking received hoping those in LA area stay unmolested by fire!

to quote @MJF9: new year old gear m51 tux (liner and trooz) - tcb 1890 - r.mocs happy new year beautiful ppl!

very nice @Maynard Friedman!

glad to spread ear-worm cheer! no idea about the sample, but getting the association; stonking 90s beats... chucking in a more recent queen referencing breakneck mr oizo to distract you!

ok, let's go...

looks lurvely mk.2!!! thanks for sharing! @UkeNo - due to the sizing up (I have gone for a 40 assuming it will shrink to 38, but given stretch may go back to 40) I requested these as insurance! Generally pairs stop getting worn because they're too small but I worried I may have gone the other way; with this pair I wanted his lovely neat top block stitching with maximum leg volume; the cinch and the extra buttons hopefully will ensure maximum length of wear (fingers crossed at least) - I get the fomo when seeing @JRendon02's dynamic and chic 1942 pair... but I have been pining for a '37 so must commit (and I read lvc blabbology somewhere that levis used to supply extra suspender buttons to the ol' timers who bought 501s from post '37 so I put myself in that whitehaired camp rather than thinking I have a mashed up '33) - belt and/or braces for the next 18 months! and thanks to @MJF9 for getting the request through!

lookin lurvely!

hey… london, uk…

paid!!!

looking nice (& done! apologies for delay)

nice nice nice: does seem like eBay is giving some Russell love rite now: staring at the screen for us11-d art carter / travelling sportsman to appear... with the ownership transition and utube upping (snail, rose etc.), seems like more awareness arising, and barely worn old stock coming forward...
