    100 times better than my 0 in the same amount of time. ;)

    😂

    Picked up a pair of one wash 1947’s and the fit is pretty spot on. Any wisdom on how much shrink to expect from washing on the one wash version, or on how stretchy the denim is? 

    One wash doesn’t shrink - tightens after washing then loosens. The denim stretches pretty much like most denim … it all depends on how much force is applied to it

    @julian-wolf - ah - that makes a ton more sense. Thank you! I saw the US Forest Service jacket they did and thought it was cool but a bit too on the nose, living in a town within a National Forest - ha. Would like it without the FS stencil, though!

    This is (briefly) what the Great Lakes sub brand is about. It’s a fairly wide ranging idea, but if you dig a little you’ll start to understand the concepts and even the garment construction which is often quite different (this is something each sub brand will demonstrate).

    I heard there’s a rotund fellow with a bushy white beard who wears a red suit and is looking for a new thick black leather belt with a big buckle. Don’t close that order book just yet…

    I haven’t put on that much weight

  5. Yeah - sorry - kinda quoting myself when I said earlier the last couple for the holidays, then I got a request I could sneak in

    January will be the next belts (if I’m asked) 👍
