Glad you decided to grab some. The nibi-iro and kenbourguro-iro were my two most recent pickups, too (both as 175 cm Henley necked short sleeve tees) and they’re fantastic, somehow simultaneously simple greyscale and deep green–blue–brown. You’re right to call them both dull and deep. Jonathan, who I guess handles their international orders & English-language communication, is the same that many here will know from his Banana Almanac fame, and more recently from Two Ears Brand + Ooe’s One Ear Brand. He does a great job answering all sorts of questions etc

Big patches on the seat + crotch, plus some shots of the finished product

SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
julian-wolf replied to minya's topic in superdenim
They do, especially the style of stitching—but I don't think I've ever seen Arrow use such thin / light leather? -

^ If they are Russells, they’re either custom or from a while ago. I don’t think any of their recent stock chukkas have shipped with soft leather soles. -
Freewheelers, Bootleggers Reunion, Bubo, etc.

Others’ll know better, but as far as I’m aware the Neil Cassidy is the only shirt that any of the Freewheelers brands consistently makes every year -
Size 4 jeans (at least those made from the standard denim) should have around a 36” waist
-
^ Top notch all around I just picked up a half yard of some really beautiful light indigo ramie from Buaisou, no idea what I’m going to do with it but I’m looking forward Tilley / Joe McCoy’s / Great Lakes / Cane’s / Russell

& the back pocket, patched + lined with some old plain weave raw hemp (also added backing to the main leg panel where it was starting to wear through) Forgot to take a final photo from the outside…stay tuned for when the rest is done, I guess

Leg of @shredwin_206’s S601xx Patch is leftover from a roll end I bought a long time ago @ the local discount fabric place, feels identical to the standard rigid Wrangler denim

Union Special / Tender Co. / Tezomeya / Hollows / old Cane’s / Russell

Spent the second half of this week dyeing baby clothes for a new niece. They’re all cotton. I don’t often dye with cellulose fibers because it’s such an extra hassle—but the flip side of this is that, when I do, I tend to throw as much in there as I can Had a cotton bandana laying around for who knows how long (I think it shipped w/ something or other from the Trestle Shop)…now it’s pink Tannic acid -> alum + lots of soda ash -> ground cochineal

@shredwin_206’s S601xx looking reallll good before a round of repairs -
Tilley / Bubo / Hollows / The Vanishing West / JK

Tilley / Union Special / Hollows / Cane’s / Frank’s

Is the mock moc stitching on the machine sewn version even some transverse to the leather, or is it just two rows of straight stitching right through to the inside (mock mock moc)? Either way they look great on you
-
@smoothsailor It’s a bit of a mix I guess. I strongly prefer full leather uppers for reasons unrelated to aesthetics, but the way they age is a nice bonus It surprised me to see how much they’ve darkened up—if you’d asked me before I ordered the replacements, I would have guessed they started off brown
-
Caught in the act Ues + Cane’s
-
Far from the standard fare, here, but I can never resist a direct old vs. new comparison La Sporta Mythos Eco, old ones have seen around 3 years as training shoes, 2 front resoles (fourth photo), and enough hand stitching on the uppers (second photo) to call it a day
-
Could be! I don’t know why, but I had 1975 in my head; that’s part of what was confusing me. Good thought
-
^ Sorry, means the shanks of the hidden rivets. My mistake
-
Anyone here recognize these? Def. MP-series, but I don't think I've ever seen those rivet backs. The bar tack on the fly is also throwing me for a loop; I think that rules out the 597 or the 603. (Anyone here a size 26?)
-
@chicote Their sizing supposedly varies quite a bit between lasts. I’ve had good experiences emailing them in the past to confirm—but also each of their product pages generally lists a suggested foot length range for each model, which I’ve found to be reliable
-
@Alec Leamas Yeah, those ones are built like tanks. The soles themselves are wearing through near the heels, so I need to figure out how to replace those, but otherwise they're in great shape.
-
You’re not wrong, I’ve def. put on a few in the past year…

Display jeans came in
