It’s been cool to watch the progress on the IG stories.

Finding an analog newspaper might be the toughest part of this contest yet!

I’m also paid up. Still think a solstice start date would be cool, but looking forward to the kickoff whenever it is.

Happy Birthday @mlwdp

Good eye @Talan they are Dynaudio. Not glued down, but they are the powered/active monitors and thus they weigh ~20lbs/9kg each and are quite stable even with the records against them. Though I did put some back on the shelf after your comment I should post them in the “Nice Things” thread. I’ve had these speakers since ~1998 and they’ve held up really well and still sound great! Thank you! @MJF9 My better half chose the seating and I love the colors. It’s fun having a green couch and yellow chairs. And like @Maynard Friedman pointed out, they are album covers that I swap out occasionally.

I’m also down for this assignment if CSL is preoccupied.

I’m enjoying these updates.

Same here. Might need a wallet belt clip for these to work.

Quite clever of you to get all of them in one sentence.

I have. Basic US retailer experience with a few exceptions. Poor communication with no phone number and really slow or non responsive to email/IG messages. Quick to ship. I had to return the product and was charged a restock fee. Was expected and on their website. Measurement charts are just copied from other Japan retailers like mirrorball for the FW items. Overall, I would still buy from them if they had what I wanted, but they wouldn’t be my first choice or even close if other retailers had the same item. I will give them credit as they put out some tasty Alden makeups.

Chillin’ in the backyard after a busy week. wythe flannel, power wear T, FW 51s, xero barefoot shoes

Nice pickups @Broark Cool to see the uplander shirt. Was tempted by that, but picked up the diamond cracker instead.

My RBs are slow going because I just restarted my RBs in a better fitting size. 🫣 Played with the idea of comparing the recent RB fabric to the OG release, but then I got real about how long that would actually take to get solid wear on both and yeah, not happening anytime soon. So if anyone is interested in a lightly used pair of 601RB in tag 32 (hemmed to ~29.5”) give me a holler.

Also, as someone that worked in the pizza industry for way too long, I relate to that kid on the patch on a soul level.

That’s a fun patch! I’m enjoying the passion and enthusiasm Simone puts into his work.

Here’s the tezomeya specs. @Double 0 Soul I suspect the 170 measures smaller in the chest right out of the wash and stretched out slightly when I put the shirts on for the fit pics. size 170 - p2p 52cm, length 59.5cm, shoulder 43cm, sleeve 21cm size 175 - p2p 53cm, length 63.7cm, shoulder 44cm, sleeve 21cm

@Double 0 Soul you got it! They came washed and I’ve run them through the machine cold wash, hang dry a few times now and there were no changes. I’ll try to get some measurements w/ pics up soon. Probably sometime tomorrow.

I picked up a couple Tezomeya short sleeve shirts in their undyed option. Wanted to share how they fit me as I was new to their sizing. I’m roughly 5’9-10” (177cm) 163lb (74kg) and typically wear US Medium shirts and L/40 or 16 in Japan sizes, mainly FW shirts. For Tezomeya, I went with sizes 170 & 175 and they both work well. The 170 hits just below the waistband on the FW 51s in the pics and is great under a denim jacket untucked. The 175 fits looser and longer, but not excessive by any means, just a more relaxed fit. I like the soft, light feel and would be open to picking one of their dyed offerings as I like the muted earthy colors. Thanks @julian-wolf and @AlientoyWorkmachine for the sizing advice! Hope this can also be helpful to anyone else interested in trying Tezomeya. For both pics, Left is 170 - Right is 175

@Double 0 Soul so cool! Are you going to upload some beats for us?

Thanks for the follow up. I ended up hand washing it and it turned out just fine. Next time it gets the delicate cycle.

🤣 it’s like you know me so well. Big decisions, easy. What jeans to wear for the next 18 months?, let me make this as complicated as possible.

Too funny. I was also comparing to my OA01s since that’s the only pair where I kept raw measurements to check against their many wash/dry cycles.

I put this together based on bFs measurements. Shrink % from after wash measurements compared to raw.
