Who makes good linen or silk workshirts? My current go-to (a Tori Richards sample from a thrift store in Kailua Kona, I think) has treated me great but is starting to wear thin at the shoulders and elbows

Interested in something pretty lightweight to be worn on long hikes

Not limiting myself to "SuFu-approved" brands for this one, though I'd def. prefer ethical / small-scale production

Agreed, really envious of that linen square-tailed shirt—would be perfect for hiking in, and it's aged beautifully

Here are some photos of the Type 430 Butterfly shirt in red-ochre-dyed airbag cambric, size 4

The fabric's really nice and stretchy, but this size is too slim for me in the shoulders (works great everywhere else)

Also feat. Cane's and Birks

They’re def. slim, but nowhere near TFH levels of slim 

@Dan_F, I posted direct comparison photos between Ues and TFH flannels a couple pages ago, might be of interest to you

Black Seed is top notch—it’s just all Roy had been using for a long time, so I think folks who already had 2 or 3 pairs might’ve been less excited for more releases in the same denim

All about that Munson aesthetic

Where’d you score those?

Thanks

Are they the same fabric as the lot 470? If not, have any examples of how the fabric ages?

@kiya, really interested in the new black Cane’s

Do they use the same fabric as the lot 470?

Are your stores open, these days, for trying things on? The cut looks like it should probably work, but with the low rise & slim thighs I’d ideally want to test them out to be sure (Totally understandable if not)

Anyone interested in a Butterfly Shirt in red-ochre-dyed airbag cambric, size 4? Picked it up a few years ago and it's a size too small, still unworn with all the tags and all that—really lovely shirt

Would be happy to sell or trade

Yep, those are the ones

Hah

@Double 0 Soul yeah, the cinch has been punched through at one point (the second apparent point in that photo is just some inconveniently-placed lint / fuzz). The same's true on my M41027—both are punched through towards the end of the cinch in such a way as to not serve any real purpose—and that's made me wonder if it was standard for some retailers to set the cinch up before sale / exhibition just to show its intended use…thoughts?

^ Those weren’t M-series; they were from like 2004–2007, the SC40500

I know  @Foxy2 has a nice pair, not sure who else around here

…isn't the regular Blade Runner already in San Francisco?

^ I’ve tried combining shipping a few times, and it’s never been any cheaper than shipping items separately; actually, once the consolidation fee is included, it’s often more expensive.

If you’re waiting ‘til the end of the auction to bid, why not just use the sniper bid option?

^ More like 3" more rise

Yeah, I’ve always been really interested in their Wranglers, but the ultra-low rises have kept me from ever trying a pair; seems like their Levi’s are cut to be much more accommodating

Also seems like the owner must have a pretty good personal collection, with all the CSF collabs supposedly being based off his jeans and not Konaka-San’s?

Good info, thanks @Flash

Don’t know about a ‘52 or ‘53, but yeah, I’m seeing references to a ‘45, ‘48, and ‘55

Are the West Ride collabs made by Konaka-San himself, or by someone else in the workshop? Anyone have experience with them?

The impending apocalypse feels like post-rock

@shredwin_206 you could def. rock the Edo Ai look

Smaller belts w/ smaller buckles have always been more flattering anyway—now's your excuse to take the plunge & make the switch

Anyone have experience with the Buzz service shoes? Been thinking about the William Gibson edition, in particular: https://item.rakuten.co.jp/hinoya/br02146

Thoughts on construction? Sizing?

edit: Those White's moc toes are really appealing too…if they'd come out a year earlier, I'd've probably gone for them over the Lofgrens, but they're def. on the table for the (somewhat distant, at this point) future

Been watching a TV show recently, Halt and Catch Fire—it's a really great show all around, but its theme song in particular is one of very few that keep me from skipping past the intro

The theme's by a Danish guy Trentemøller who's always made some of my favorite background music for studying / working, with The Last Resort being the album to which I most often default:
