I was thinking that a thread dedicated to measurements of make/models would be helpful. I know a lot of stockists have varying size charts. I'm thinking of a thread where you list the make/model/tagged size and measurements. Before and after soak/wash if possible. We could list more than just the normal waist/front rise/thigh/knee/hem. I'd love to see back rise and hip. The year of production may also be helpful if companies change the cut over time. I've not actually looked for a search within thread function here. But if that function exists, it would make that thread pretty useful. At least to me. I also realize that this is posted in many of the brand specific threads.

My Iron Hearts and I went to the apple orchard/pumpkin farm with my grandsons. Had a great day. At the end of the day number 1 was a bit worn out and number 2 was still ready to go.

Which is why I think we need a "standard" hip measurement along with front rise and back rise to understand top block fit better. Measurement #3 on the chart. Of course, there is the question of how far down from waist to take the measurement...

I love my American Giant zip classic. Definitely longer. Men's Hoodies & Sweatshirts | American Giant (american-giant.com)

Still loving my Midnight 16 oz ranch blouse. The perfect denim jacket for me.

I am out of words Duke. You win. What amazes me is how unique all of your belts are. How you come up with so many fresh designs is astounding.

@Dr_Heech yes, I probably posted most or all of those on denimbro. I didn't save all of those. Should have.

@shredwin_206 I'll try to dig up some of my photos. I've seen quite a few with bottom not buttoned. And usually they have the very top buttoned. Just the opposite of what I find comfortable. So, I've dug thru a ton of my saved photos. It seems the unbuttoning of the bottom or just buttoning the top was mainly (not always) a early thing. Mostly seen in late 1800s/early 1900s mining and workers photos. This is just my observation. And the majority of the photos it is being done with the gingham "blouse", more so, than the duck and denim jackets. Again, this is just what I'm seeing. I'm curious as to why one would do this. Especially the buttoning of just the top button. I'm guessing on the gingham blouses/jackets, you would unbutton to alleviate the chance of popping the stitches and losing the button(s). The gingham being a lighter duty fabric than duck/denim. For any of the fabrics, my guess on unbuttoning the bottom is for comfort while sitting on a horse or in a buggy. Just my thoughts.

Same, "S" hooks. These are 3D-printed. My OCD wants to color code them somehow. So far, my laziness has won out.

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.

@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?
