Apropos of the recent BBSP discussion: For the past few weeks, I’ve been heavily embracing the Shirt Over Shirt Mindset of yesteryear

@Graytrain There’s another pair of M41027 up now in W34, in case they’re still on your mind…
I do actually have a pair of the hair on hides squirreled away, with tags and all, but they’re a couple of sizes too small (tagged 32 or 33, I think), so they’re more likely to end up being my partner’s than mine
Most cuts labeled “relaxed tapered” seem to really be more in the slim–tapered to narrow–tapered range, these days, so maybe TCB isn’t far off after all…
Posted in the Warehouse thread recently about my 1001xx DSB which, among many other repairs, had just had their back pocket patched up. Did the same repair yesterday on my 601xx and thought I’d document it a little better. Pictures should tell the story okay.
Forgot to photo the final product, but it looks about the same as it did on the 1001xx…
Yeah, the measurements on the site seemed promising, but I emailed Ryo to check and he replied that the new Lee jeans are some of the slimmest they've done (at least through the hips and thighs), even more so than the S40s. Supposedly the aim is, in part, to fill the niche of a slim–tapered cut, which wasn't really present in their lineup previously. Oh well.
M41027
Don’t know much about these. Seems like pretty much the same exact details, top to bottom, as the MP-619, but in a much wider cut—same hardware and everything. Maybe from early after the switch to M-series? They’re also sized on the smaller end: these are tagged W36 and fit more similar to the W34 of the late ‘90s

^^ That’s a funny note about sizing. I’m generally a 42 or 44 in other brands’ jackets (never had any from TCB), and based on the size chart I was looking at a 46 in the storm rider…
@Hopethisoneisnttaken That looks like it should be in the Black Corridor in Red Rocks, on the right side of the lower level towards the middle—don’t remember the name of the route
Couple of months ago I gave one of the brass peregrine falcon whistles to my sweetie as a necklace
It’s a really gorgeous piece—the casting is great, and I’m particularly fond of the variation in color around the joint where the two pieces were heated up & brazed together
Anyway, I’m borrowing it today, so I thought I’d take advantage of the photo opportunity. Shown here w/ a Tezomeya tee & a Type 492 shirt, overdyed w/ henna
