I haven’t been expecting to fit into any of them—I’m pretty consistently a 34 these days—just enjoying checking out what’s there. That said, I could be misremembering, but I think Roy’s at least as tall as I am.

@Jared_Lee https://roydenim.com/product-category/bottoms/

Did they all go up at once, or is he adding them bit by bit? I only see 5 pairs, and it looked like he had a lot more than that stocked up

Jeez, that’s a steal for the Lot 900

^ Have there been any updates? Not on Instagram these days

^ Not for size 12 feet

Beach day w/ the pups this weekend—something going on with wind channels, & the waves were the biggest I’ve ever seen then along our section of coast feat. Bubo, Tender, Stevenson, Vanishing West

@Duke Mantee Main selling point for me would be leather quality. I love my Birks, and they’ve lasted me just as well as any fancy stitched boots, but they don’t age nearly as gracefully and that’s a shame. You’re right to ask, though—definitely no need to upgrade from them on grounds of build quality, design, etc. @l13902733261 Agreed that the silhouettes on some other versions don’t look right. These are the only alternatives I’ve seen that look better to me than the originals. It’s funny timing: just this week I saw a pair in S&S; they weren’t my size (I guess they were a special order that got returned), but I made a mental note to look into them later, then your post popped up the next day. Shame about the peeling.

^ This might’ve been covered already, but are those the Joe McCoy’s Bostonians? How are they?

Yesterday Tilley / Kapital / TFH / Hollows / Vanishing West x Motor Psyclone / White’s

@chicote They shrink a lot in the wash. I think mine lost around 1 and a half sizes

Cozy @ home Pop Punch / Cane’s / Town View

Thanks Neal. The new denim’s cut from a roll. I don’t remember where I got it for sure, but I think it’s probably old stock from White Oak. Nice mid weight. Had it around for a while—just a yard or so left, so the rest will all be for patches like this.

Thanks, all. They’ve been through the wash and dryer now to set all the stitching & they’re feeling great—fit just like they did in their previous life

Surprised by how slim these jeans look from the back Tilley / Tender Co. x2 / Hollows / Cane’s / Russell

& Here’s when they were new, for posterity (I think I must have posted them at the time, but if so I can’t find the post)

M41200 after extensive repairs (see Repairs thread for details)

Did some pretty major renovations on my M41200, this week I got these some time in 2019, and they got worn at least a couple times a week through around the end of 2020. From late 2021 onwards, they’ve been in rotation mostly as climbing jeans. I’ve posted updated a few times in the M-series thread as well as the main SC thread (before the former existed). A few months ago, the seat ripped in 4 places in the span of a day. The surrounding denim was clearly wearing thin enough that patching or darning would just mean another major round of repairs in a few months, so I opted to cut up the whole seat and splice in new denim all together. While they were open, I also patched the left thigh, the front right panel of the crotch, and the left back pocket, and I added some reinforcement to the upper right part of the seat, where it seemed like they might soon need it. Overall, I’m really pleased with how they turned out.

‘51 after around 2 years Good jeans, tons of life left. Would buy again.

Cross-posting from the M-series thread to keep things moving in here… M41058 old and new (3ish years / 1–2 months) The color on the old ones is truest in the angled photos (& the one w/ the dogs) where they appear bluer. These are my favorite jeans, in a lot of ways, and I’m really glad to have found a second pair. The old ones are tagged W33 and were hemmed to 35.5” when raw by S&S Oakland. They didn’t shrink as much as I expected, and they ended up around 1.5” longer than ideal, so I’ve always worn them with a cuff. The new ones are tagged W35 and had already been washed & hemmed to just about my perfect length when I got them, so they’ve been getting worn w/ a nice clean break. The denim has held up incredibly well—but the constructional stitching has been the opposite, so I’ve had to go over pretty much every seam, at this point. The only other repair I’ve had to do is to there pocket bag where I carry my keys. Overall, even though I don’t think it’s the main thing that draws me to these pants, I’m really happy with how the denim itself has worn. The puckering, the color, and the little bit of vertical falling are all perfect, and it’s super comfortable right from the start.

Good shout! The Michi Jacket (https://crescentdownworks.com/collections/jackets/products/michi-jacket-mustard) is very close to what I’m looking for. They’ve been on my radar for a while, but I don’t think I realized they did anything non-down. I wish they offered some better colors, but that does seem like a good potential option

Has anyone done a good reproduction of the Sierra Designs 60/40 Mountain Parka from the ‘80s? I’ve been eyeing these for years and am at a point where I think I’d really like to get my hands on one. Sierra Designs actually still makes them—domestically in the US, at that—but they’re only available on the Japanese market, and something about paying a proxy service to buy a MiUSA jacket from the Japanese branch of an American company just to ship it back state side really rubs me the wrong way. I’ll probably still end up going for it if there aren’t any other good options out there, but would rather something more direct. Sadly, vintage doesn’t seem to be a great option for these.

If you’re okay with poly stitching, the Merz ones are decent (and they go on sale for a lot cheaper than most MiJ)
