I never saw anything before about those Ooe x Bandanna Almanac jeans. They're really great! Are they a recent release?

Good suggestions from Talan. I'd say Mister Freedom is worth a look too. They make a few different styles.

I wonder what they'll be bringing to Inspiration...

The 'curl around the ear' variety of specks are great. Shame they're such a rarity these days.

That jacket’s so perfect for the snow @CSL!

Thanks! It's about the warmest coat I have due to the quilted lining.

Good catch! Rare to see a 17.5 for auction.

It's quite rare that I feel this way (and I never put in the care to try this on mine - nor does it have anything to do with why I frequent the forums) - but forget the labels of what you're wearing. This is just a strong portrait photograph. 

Very kind of you to say. Thank you!

I remember back when the Denimbro forum was going strong there were a number of devotees of the LVC 47 fit.

I also liked the LVC 44. 

If you mean the prongs, some of them need to be sharpened with a small file.

I’ve started buying pre-chewed food recently. All you have to do is swallow it! 

What a coincidence! I've began offering a service where I dress up as a giant bird & regurgitate food for those who want an authentic chick experience. Sufu discount for you!

I've actually experienced the same. My feet are about 0.5 bigger now.
The last summers I did a lot of barefoot walking, so that is my explanation

The Julian boots would have been the Bowery boots for RRL, I think. Great boots

Probably so, indigoeagle. Over the past ten years I've been exercising with weights, nothing crazy but perhaps that has made my feet spread. They're still on the narrow side, C width according to folks at White's, who I bought from recently.

About the boots, the tan pair I got from Julian when he had a workshop in LA. The other pair I got from him at one of the Inspiration shows.

I had something similar where my feet got slowly wider, maybe as the rest of me grew slowly wider with home working…

Anyway, I took a few of my shoes to a local cobbler - he stretched them on a machine for 48 hours each and now they’re all good. May not work for the boots but probably would for the shoes - definitely worth checking out as an option. Only cost me £5 per pair so not the end of the world if you don’t get enough stretch. 

You can also buy shoe stretchers. 

Thanks, Unders. Actually I have had them to a cobbler friend for stretching. I couldn't really feel a difference. I will say that the tan pair definitely got a bit smaller after the resole. Something I'll be aware of next time.

Would anyone care to elaborate on why the Warehouse is superior to RMC? 

I don't own any Warehouse denim so have never seen it close up.

Over the past few years my feet have gotten bigger. I had no idea that was something that happened in middle-age. Is it just me?...

Consequently I have some footwear that no longer fits. Figured I'd list them here first in case anyone might be interested. 

The tan colored boots are by Julian, a one-off prototype so he told me. Re-soled by Brian The Bootmaker (Role Club). Asking $600

The chocolate colored boots are also Julian but a stock model, similar to what he was providing for RRL, I think. New heel pads. Asking $600

The shoes were bought in Belgium many moons ago. Italian made & quite expensive. I recently had a new heel put on them. Not really sure what to ask on these... $175? 

I believe they're all marked 11. I'd say the fit is in the US 10.5 - 11 size range. 

If anyone is interested in any of these items please let me know. I can add more detail pics.
