@AlientoyWorkmachine Were they raw or one-wash? I have a pair of 800xx in 34, after the consensus seemed to be to size up, but they're far too big for me. I was going to have another go at getting rid of them at some point but if they're going to shrink a lot maybe I should hold on to them and stick them in the washer.

Not a fan of Bluey then?

They look great. What are they?

Accidentally neg repped you there @beautiful_FrEaKwhen I meant to hit positive . Think I rectified it though.

Hmm. Is that your quality of life's trajectory or the gradient it feels like you're walking?

Done!

Tongue splitting is illegal in England and Wales.

Love that scene. Clearly they were not anticipating the NB revival...

Those are ridiculous. The curtain pulls on the fly take the biscuit. It actually looks like that's how you're supposed to undo them.

Pull a few threads out here and there and you've got them!

About time, isn't it? I'm expecting the Marks and Spencer's WW2 cut in time for Christmas.

Which makes total sense, but also kind of reinforces a point I was trying to make - isn't Denime just an extension of Warehouse now? (And I don't think that was inevitable - they could have taken over the brand without assimilating it so thoroughly to their own. Seems a shame to me.)

I speak as someone who owns only one pair of Warehouse jeans and no Denime, with no special liking for or animus against either company but... Does anyone else think Warehouse have basically ruined Denime? I know Denime has been through a series of incarnations already and aficionados might think it long since had its day, but it just seems mad now. Without ever having handled any, I knew basically what the 220xx was. I might have sprung for a pair at some point. Now every time I look on Bears there's another epicycle on an iteration of a version of it. It makes my head spin. Warehouse's numbering and style variations are hard enough to keep track of even if you're a fan. Did they have to do the same thing to Denime?

I'm never quite sure what true to size means to be honest. My M65 is a medium. I have two other Buzz Rickson items - a crew neck sweatshirt in XL, and the short-sleeve chambray shirt in 16-16 1/2, which I believe is supposed to be medium. They're all the right size for me, which is not baggy but not tight either. I can comfortably wear the XL sweat under the medium M65.

I have the Buzz Rickson one and I love it. Haven't handled the RMC one but I have seen the price difference and given the quality (as I see it) of the BR one I wouldn't regard it as justified.
