“TCB was actually planning to hold a fade contest for some other new model” Hmmm…

Very cool, thanks for passing that on. I’ll be there!

Good info—know which S&S they were gonna be going to, by chance? I’m even closer than I used to be from the Oakland one, these days, and I think I have some store credit to burn…

@Broark Were you in person @ Inspiration this year? or were they willing to take mail orders for those

Back home, backlit Tilley / Bubo / Hollows / Vanishing West / Frank’s

Were they maybe available for a bit during the custom era, too? In any case, I saw a couple in person a while back at some or other event @ S&S: can confirm they’re as dope as you’d expect

What changed?

That’s pretty much all TCB jeans for the last 3–4 years Most of their staff just has very different body types from most SuFu folks Anyway, they’ll be a pass from me too; I need all of my pockets

Union Special / Tender Co. / Hollows / Cane’s / MOTO

I’ve used the blue rep in the past to acknowledge posts that I appreciate having read, but that carry a negative message (like news of a death or discussion of some other tragedy) which I’d feel weird reacting “positively” to—but every time I’ve done so I’ve felt that I’m probably overthinking it

On the topic of rocks matching clothes Tilley / Merz / Hollows / Roy / White’s

“Selection” is maybe the limiting criterion. Lots of brands seem to do one or two okay women’s cuts, these days, but no one seems to have more than a couple of options. Meanwhile, obviously all jeans are more or less gender agnostic in principle, but how well they work in practice depends completely on body type. Around how is your partner shaped? If they’re big in the hips and don’t fit well into standard men’s jeans, the TCB Norma could be a really good option; I’ve also seen curvier women friends make ‘90s Cane’s work well.

Found a really good rock to match the Foreman pants Been wearing these a lot lately

The little satchel / purse from a few years ago remains one of my all-time favorite items of any category (likely above most of my clothes and boots, even); it’s with me all the time Had to do a first round of repairs, recently. Some holes were forming around the bottom so I patched it up with some of the canvas leftover from hemming my older pair of Roy’s Foreman pants There was some really nice lighting today so I took a few photos. I love how many different colors are present in different areas of the bag from different sorts of wear (sun, abrasion, indigo crocking…)
