From "rough day on the range" to "rough day in the tub".

Janesville Clothing fireman's jacket. Great heavy canvas (probably waxed) with heavy lining. Corduroy collar and toggle clasps. Also came with a bonus mouse nest in the left sleeve.

Havasupai men in shelter. Looks like someone is making new shoes... (1919 Glass negative from Frederick Webb Hodge)

The pocket bags are my only complaint with the 2 pair of Full Counts (1101xx and 1108xx) I've bought. I like my Edwins better because the cut and denim are very similar, and the pockets are deeper/useable.

FYI. A size 5 pair of 130s on sale at Blue Owl. 130 "Rinse One Wash" 16oz Selvedge Denim - High Rise Taper Fit – Blue Owl Workshop

@csl, you know, I'm not sure. I went and looked and couldn't find any kind of dated sticker or plaque on it. It was my wife's ex-husbands tractor. All I know is I don't know what I'd do without it.

This weekend my Studio D'artisan SD-101s had to get on the John Deere and clean up after high winds (tornadoes in the area). Luckily, all humans and animals are fine and the house received no damage.

We've been in the high 80s and into the 90s (that's 30 C and above) here in Wisconsin already. With high humidity as a bonus.

Some of mine are sunbathing today. Atticus says Hi.

I'll let you add the punchline.

"And now for something completely different" Feeling nostalgic. Couldn't afford these back in high school. Now I can. 80's Guess jeans. Always thought they nailed the gray/black color. RRL shirt Buck Mason Field-spec heavy tee (highly recommend!) Nike 79 Tailwind

@shredwin_206, I will do that!

On my now annual May visit to Seattle. My daughters and son in law got me Tender 130s Wattle dye, at Blue Owl. Good birthday!! Love them. My family and the jeans. With vintage STP shirt.

You need to be more careful when vacuuming...

Probably a topic more for a general thread, but I've always felt the measurements should include the hip area. Many times you even have to dig around to get a rear rise number. But I feel like some cuts just have much less fabric in the hip/arse area. Also, some have too much in the hips and they kind of bag out.

@beautiful_FrEaK Great work! Do you have date ranges for the eras?

Another morning in the barn. Fullcount 1101s this time. Carhartt jacket being used as intended. Mucking, haying, watering, feeding, petting, etc.

Congratulations BF!

Definitely not a sweater (jumper) guy. But had to get this Bleu de Chauffe seaman's sweater after seeing a review. With Stronghold slubby jeans and Nike Daybreaks in my favorite colorway.

@Duke Mantee, I take pretty much everything on the internet with a grain of salt. I think when the boots are cut in half and the materials used are layed out for all to see, it's up to each person to judge the quality and value. I know that he has shown some interesting construction shortcuts that many of the makers have used. If I'm buying something for $100s or $1000s of dollars, I'm going to look into all of the details before shelling out money. I also want to point out I have no affiliation with Rose Anvil and no grudge against Alden. Just giving people another piece of input.

If you are thinking about buying Alden's, or any other big name boots, check out Rose Anvil on youtube. He cuts boots in half to examine their materials and construction. The Alden Indy video may be enlightening.

Same trip. Different people/jeans. 1954

More of the same trip, 1954.
