@youngofthesoonest looks to be the Heavy Shirt (c.2017) without the tab & tags… can’t wait to see you thrash it!!

just picked up a pair of the Yuketen Bostonians- as a religious Birk wearer, the finish of them is certainly an upgrade, but their “shape” is narrower. Not a 1:1 remake, but same “vibe.” Wish the birks aged as well. Curious to see these FW in person.

editorial content is really killer, kiya. you and the SE team are gifted raconteurs.

tore a bigger hole in the seat of the R01s so they’re now off to S&S Oakland for some darning. Faster turnaround than SE, I was hearing.

my old pair of time machine OA02s, which i encountered tonight hanging in S&S NYC’s window…. best place for them!

some general wear updates and pictures of the repair. Haphazard, yes, but it works! always a first time for everything.

settled for a nice ~12oz indigo HBT from an old (very small) pair of visvim fatigues.

i’d not considered that, thank you for the callout! would it be more sensible to bring to SENY for darning work? I have some lighter fabric scraps available to me for a patch, but curious your thoughts.

going to be attempting a sashiko repair on a weakened seat of the R01 indigolovers. pic attached is the area. one patch each side, likely 18 oz fabric from a pair of the ecru samurai natural denim.

interesting seeing a mister freedom shirt in the wild on public figures…tyler the creator wearing this aloha out recently. had no idea he was a MF guy!!

a curious thing i’d not noticed until now- on the inside of the Indigolovers’ pockets, the red of the indigo canvas selvedge has worn off onto the denim’s selvedge somewhat…there is only about two inches of the IC selvedge present due to the pocket shape and, yet, it was thoughtfully sewn and included. beauty in the little details, always.
