Great comparison shot. Every pair is looking great

I've been climbing less but feeling stronger lately I tore a pulley in my ring finger earlier this year and the rest I took during the healing process really helped me Occasionally taking longer breaks is good - all of that bad muscle memory can potentially get wiped out and remembering you're ultimately there to enjoy yourself helps, too My gym has also left me feeling humbled lately, and it's most certainly lit a fire

One of my oldest, dearest friends whipped me up some custom jeans His brand is Blake Edward, and these are his Style one jeans. I sourced the denim from another friend, which I believe is Kuroki? High rise, wide leg 4 pocket jean with deep front and back pockets The front pocket shape is so good - easily fits my hands while simultaneously, comfortably, and securely takes a knife or tape measure due to their J shape I can’t wear blue jeans to work these days, so these’ll get wear tested 5 days a week

Wash and dry really made this small pin sized hole open up

Not sure how this happened

I don’t use AI for my fades, actually I roll around in my backyard - don’t bother picking up after my dogs, or trash from my home-improvement projects because the fecal matter and debris help speed up the epic fades on my raw Japanese selvedge denim. Then when I’m ready for a wash I head to the aquatic park in Berkeley for a dip. Then 2,000 deep lunges to dry them off These fades were hard earned … 200 hashtags

My employer buys and requires us all to wear Carhartt B11 pants, all cotton, made entirely in Nicaragua The carabiner I’ve used for a while shredded this belt loop in just a few weeks

Pre and post wash I can’t bring myself to holding out on washing anymore - if my wife doesn’t want shoes on our hardwood floor I’ll bet she definitely doesn’t want grease on our couch.

DSB ‘47 I like that it’s very obvious the pocket flap was removed

I had the S409XXX M-WW2 and 22501 Two of the most ill fitting pairs of jeans I’ve ever owned - which is a shame because every other detail was spot on

You’re thinking of the 22501 - which is a different pair from the 22501XX, even though on paper they read identical. That model (22501) was reissued at least once Different denim, different cut/fit, seemingly modeled after different pairs of S501XX (it’s how I reason the stark differences) - these 22501XX use CSF WW2 denim, and the pair of 22501 I had used the Miura denim iirc I have the Dappers CSF S406XXX M-WW2 jacket, and CSF S406XXX M-46 jacket. I am Not sure if the Dappers collab jackets have been reissued Fit between the M-WW2 and M-46 would be the M-46 is slimmer through the chest and sleeves Photos of both: M-WW2 CSF for Dappers M-46 CSF house brand

Not even a little bit Zero weird hip to waist ratio / flaring - I touched on this a bit in the CSF thread The 22501XX and S409XXX M-WW2 pairs I had in the past both had tight hips and loose waists - I’m talking inches of extra room in the waist and very tight hips This pair fits me in the waist perfectly with ample room in the top block. And the cut otherwise is excellent

Cushman CSF 22501XX These are my current pair I am wearing the most these days - I’ve worn many S501XX repro and these take the cake for me. How they fit me, the cut, use my favorite denim Weird scuff on the right thigh above the knee. Bugging me

My favorite pair of jeans - my second pair of these Warehouse lot 1002 These are still unwashed and worn infrequently these days
