  1. Thank you @vIGGiou riou. Pants are 1942, bought them 2009 or 2010. Like all my pants it’s full of ink splatters. On jeans I don’t mind it. But on these I didn’t like it. So decided to draw a anchor pattern on them. To pull the attention away. A t least 8 yrs ago allready, start to wear off . But I still enjoy wearing them. Kinda a vintage pair. I peeled off the Carhartt patch from the jacket. One day I realized I was wearing a bib, sweater, hat, and vest all Carhartt. A bit to much branding for my taste. So off the came
  2. Para, Carhartt, cheap t shirt, buzz Dickson, vans
  3. Congratulations @Geeman, looking pretty smart
  4. @Thanks_M8 super cool. Did you use one of those knitting needles with a piece of cord attached to them? Fits you perfect my mom used to knit jumpers for me and my sister all the time.
  5. I know, it’s too late I’m afraid. i will introduce jr to th forum slowly, so the next generation can take over
  6. My boy and I tried to mess with mom/wife while she waited for us , we swapped clothes and walked back to her like nothing is happening. We had a good laugh( I guess you had to be there) me, him, yellow hat, cheap tee, fullcount, vans. him, me, obey, big boys, nike have to say that it all fits him better
  7. Looking good @bartlebyyphonics i always presumed you take your pictures at a public space, but seeing you in slides
  8. 0105 , I think it’s the 15oz 1 year of wear, several washes
  9. Inspired by @81FXR 5 euro fisher hat, 8 euro t shirt, fullcount, GH Bass
  10. Did an overnighter gravel event. A bit of rain and a lot of mud. last picture, same but different
  11. They look like docs to me. Probably the context. Trashed a few pairs. they played in my neck of the woods two weeks ago, apparently it was a good show.
  12. Old shoes always look better. @julian-wolf i guess you buy these for function, but did you also bought these because they look nice?
  13. I like it, probably because it’s a buzz . It’s a bit shapeless, sleeves are a bit tight. I guess it’s a vintage fit that they reproduced. But after a few hours of wear it molds nice. The quality is oke. I, d like to get another one , orange and or grey. but not sure wether to go with the same size or size up. But I’m afraid that a bigger size fits like a sack. I’d rather have a slightly to small top than a slightly to big. In pant I prefer too big
  14. I hope @Double 0 Soul and his fam. are doing fine
  15. Some hat, buzz, fullcount super smooth, vans. Riding my bike without chainguard
  16. I use my coin pocket, for coin people in line behind me at the cash register, don’t like it, nor the cassiere. Especially when the pocket is real small. but that’s why there are self scan registers
  17. Your to far away to come around and give it a go. there,s plenty of brazed mtb,s you need a thicker tubes. the welds are similar strong, tig or brazed. my welding knowledge is slim, but you need to get a feel for brazing, if it’s not hot enough it doesn’t work and when it’s to hot you burn the lot
  18. @rbeck, thanks. I’ve been cycling pretty much all my life and for a long time taught about that would be cool to make one. But it was never on my radar where and how it was done. until I bought a frame from a builder who builds in his shed. when I saw that , I realized it was something you can do. You don’t need a factory. so I dove into it, and found the bicycle academy, did a two week course there.during those two weeks I build my first frame under their guidance. when I came home I found a workshop place(moved twice, by now) and hoarded a lot of tools. It’s been 5 yrs now
  19. Made a cargobike for a friend. Quit a lot of work. It rides pretty smooth
  20. Lot 147 is the widest and based on a Lee model. lot 161 is also wide and based on a Levi’s model. tha other ones I don’t know
  21. Papa nui, sun surf, RMC, vans

    Beautiful work Duke, do make the Japanese coin into the stud?
  24. I blame my dislectic, they both have Lee in their name. And I’m sure @lee porter would have been a good model too.
