Looking good so far Bobbo - the 34 looks perfect for me. Contrary to julian, I've actually been looking for something with a lower back rise but with a front rise just like this. 

Would be a bit more tapered towards the hem than what I usually wear, but I'm happy with the decision to have them taper mostly below the knee!

Great news for us squareheads

just had some maccheroni with human liver ragout paired with a nice glass of Chianti. Where's Maynard?

I knew the peasant flautist story was just a front! Thank you for exposing your true self.

Alright mister Piper, that's enough for tonight. Don't you have some pasta to devour? 

Okay now you really have my interest Bobbo. Any more you can share about the cotton's origins?

No kidding, I gained almost as much weight as my wife did. Sympathy for her hard work and all that!

Let me guess, you do a huge amount of squats.

I used to. Now I’m just fat in the legs.

Blaming the fact that I have a toddler and just had another baby two months ago.

I'm down for this if the thighs are big enough for my trunks for legs!

My new Japan Blue JBCD0563 (Cote D'Ivoire cotton). The hand of this denim is superb - soft, but sturdy and hairy.

50s Jean Jacket - 2.5 years, 3 washes:

Workman shirt in Gunpowder Tea from the Sportsman collection. A wonderful, somewhat hefty HBT fabric with very low color fastness - this thing was dark grey/deep green until I washed it initially and then wore it a lot. 

As with almost all MFSC shirts, it’s really too long to be worn untucked, but it’s the only way I roll when not suited up:

@YossarianRaw I do have the Blouson de Quart. I think it’s worth the price tag if you value the little details MF is known for. Also it’s a very warm jacket, I don’t get to wear mine much to be honest given that it is fully lined. But if you like the styling that’s a little different twist on the usual deck jacket and live where it’s cold I’d say go for it. 

Thanks a bunch. I definitely value the details and I own a few pieces already. 

I’m in Scandinavia, so I’d find plenty of use for it. Right now I’m layering my wool coat with a denim jacket (t shirt and heavy flannel underneath), so I’d wager it would fit well for our winters.

I seem to remember someone in here (or several people) who got the Blouson de Quart'. @Broark, maybe it was you? I'm really tempted to get it, but I was wondering if you think it's worth the price tag, seeing as there are a number of deck jacket options out there?

Yeah, that movie^ is the reason I ended up getting a type 2 jacket. Incredible style in a pretty unsettling movie.

^ is that a Seiko Bellmatic..? it looks exactly the same as mine, at that distance..

Hah yeah, from this angle I can see the similarity, but it's actually a Tudor 36mm Black Bay (ref 79500).

Rockin' the tux today, 60s jeans, 50s jacket, @volvo240thebest-style!

Just realised I never posted my absolute favourite pair of jeans here!

These are my JB 0401, around 8 months of wear and 5 washes in total. I outgrew them, so I gave them back to the shop where I bought them (Blue Caviar in Aarhus, Denmark), and the owner took some pictures before hanging them on the wall there.

Best fabric I ever saw.

Awesome! Thanks for the pics, battle.

The guy on the trash bin has like almost the same style I wear most days. Blue jeans, desert boots, white shirt, the blue athletic jacket like the one in my pic.


 

So, I finally, FINALLY managed to get around to a pair of TCB bottoms after owning the 50s jacket for 1.5 years and loving it. Don't know what I was thinking.

These 60s were a steal at just over $100 at The Shop Vancouver. 

Only gripe is that I had too much chopped off at the hem, so I'm venturing into high waters here. Which I guess will be fine since this will primarily be go to summer jeans.

Denim is amazing, fit is pretty great, but you all know these things already.

Thank you @kicks79! 

I'm so fond of my (regular) fatigue pants that I'm contemplating getting the shorts as well.

Does anyone know whether the sizing is exactly the same - e.g., if I am a 2 in the pants, would I be a 2 in the shorts as well?

If you fit a size 2 in the fatigues a size 2 in the 105s should work for you. If anything the 105s are a touch roomier in the waist than the fatigues. 

Thanks. I think you're right, the 1 will definitely be too small and the 3 would be huge.

So guys, if I'm a size 2 in the regular fatigues, do I go for the same size in the 105 jeans?

I have the regular fatigues. Actually, I ordered the slim ones, but the shop sent me the wrong ones. And I'm glad they did - they are awesome and not as wide and baggy as you might think. I wear them with white/grey tees, chambray shirts, navy popovers, grey/blue flannels
