  1. At the end of the day, they are still a red tab, just overdyed. They'll prob turn a nice purplish red after a handful of washes. I think it'll look nice!
  2. I would err on the side of them shrinking beyond the listed measurements since they specifically call out that the denim will shrink with subsequent washes, and they've only washed it once.
  3. I always forget about the idea of being a for-hire barista with a cart. I've seen successful cafes that started off that way, might be worth looking into... a single group Synesso would be my vibe.
  4. Nice home setup. I ran a cafe in its early days on a k30 and a gs3. Sometimes a simple setup gives wonderful results. I may be going back into the professional coffee world after a 6 year break. I miss making my whole life coffee...
  5. http://tcbjeans.com/2025/03/03/51429 It also seems like they are making some changes to models with a red tab—it'll be overdyed indigo before attaching. They are starting after the upcoming restock of 30s jeans and jackets, but the wording seems to imply that all models will eventually have the new tabs.
  6. Probably 1-1cm. Not much. Both my 1101 and 0105 had about the same amount of shrinkage.
  7. I have a pair of SD-100, and I love them. Part of my rotation, probably get a couple days of wear a week. I'd say they are tapered in the way a 60s cut is tapered, not like a "relaxed-taper" type cut i.e. SD-108.
  8. My gyro fell apart yesterday and got on my pants, so it was time to give my 50s their second wash. Probably been about 3-4 months since the last one. Lap and thigh fades are really starting to pop.
  9. I love that hoodie. The pocket shape is perfect.

    Thanks! I didn't measure, but based on snugness and knowing my true waist measures about ~31", I'd guess these ended up around 30-30.5". Based on how these fit, I could easily fit into a size 32, but I don't mind them being on the slimmer side; the cut looks nice regardless.

    Sorry for the dusty mirror, I'm lazy. 1001xx in banner denim, size 31. Happy with the fit. Been realizing that I comfortably sit between a few sizes for 501 type cuts, so I've enjoyed picking up different pairs to play with that, i.e. sizing up on 66-type cuts, sizing down on 47-55 type cuts etc.

    I also have a soft spot for Hinoya because the people there were really, really chill and friendly when I shopped there on my quick Tokyo layover last year. Something, something, good business builds good customers, etc. Anyway, I got them, gave them a warm machine wash, and they fit nicely. There are no surprises there since I'm comfortably a size 31 in every other Warehouse pair I have. The Banner Denim charm is pretty immediately apparent; it's so crunchy and textured.

    Sadly they've already shipped. Heavily, duly noted for future purchases*. Thanks @jkbrwn. *That I definitely for sure will not be making under any circumstances...

    I swear I've made my final jeans purchase*. Snagged the last pair of size 31 1001xx in banner denim from Hinoya since it's one somewhat essential* thing missing from my collection. Does anyone have any tips on shrinking that fabric? Does it take a few washes to get it? Hot water with/ no detergent is my go-to for shrink-to-fit these days. *I have no impulse control, and these statements are probably untrue
  15. Really nice fit @PrettyBoyTony. I've also been wearing my 220A more regularly lately. They are indeed very comfortable for heavier mid-weight denim (typing this as I'm wearing a jacket made from the same material Do you wash yours pretty regularly? I've been holding off on mine because I'm finally starting to see some contrast show up.
