First pair of Tigers I've had since high school. Don't know why I waited so long. I need to try a Made in Japan pair.

Scraping paint in 91 degrees (33 Celsius). Yes, it was so much fun. Ok, I only did the tack room and the outbuilding. The barn was done with pressure washer on a boom truck. Luckily, I had several enthusiastic helpers. Iron Heart 888s.

I'll put in a vote for the Orslow slim fit army trouser. Great fabric and nice fit. Not skinny fit, but not baggy.

One of many photos done by Charles Belden portraying cowboys, ranchers, workers. Unfortunately, not dated. This guy has all things cool going on. Scorpion (or scarab?) bandanna slide, sleeve garters, those sleeve stacks and what appears to be two pairs of jeans.

Measured the 1101xx, tagged 35/34. From Okayama Denim. W 17 1/2 Fr 12 Br 17 1/4 T 12 3/4 K 9 3/4 Lo 9 Inseam 34 Also got this Fullcount sweatshirt at Blue owl.

Getting along in my years I decided to pamper myself for certain things. Good mattress, sheets, pillows, socks, shoes/boots. I figure I do a lot of sleeping and a lot of walking/standing. Why not have that be as nice as possible. I also like a good shower head and towels. These things all go into making each day as nice as possible. Now that I've moved to a property with several animals and outbuildings, I also buy myself good gloves.

Unfortunately, no date.

Have you owned any Darn Tough socks? Saying they "don't hold a candle" seems a bit strong. I have over 20 pair of Darn Tough and have owned some for 8-10 years. No holes, no problems. They make everything from over the calf snowboarding socks to thin no shows. I wear them year round from 90+ to below zero weather. If someone asks for a sock recommendation, I have no hesitation to recommend them. GoBros.com routinely has them on 25% off sales if anyone is interested in trying them.

I tried a ton of different socks. Once I found Darn Tough socks, that's it. They are so awesome. Worth every penny.

@blooming are yours new straight or slim straight? I tried the slim first and they were too snug at the thigh. The new straight had more room and were perfect for me. The denim is definitely dark, closer to black than blue. I really like the weight. Only complaint is shallow pocket bags. I also ordered some 1101s from Okayama. They came quick and I beat the price increase. I'll measure and take pics.

While visiting my daughter in Seattle we shopped at Blue Owl. Ended up getting the 1108xx "New Straight". Love the fit. I just washed them, so I'll get measurements added after they dry.
