These look great! Really bright blue! I had to let my pair go as for some reason I went for 33 instead of 34 - if they were to re-run i would pick up a 34 for sure. They faded super fast and the blues that were coming through were insane!
-
That's even more impressive, to get to that stage in 2 years!
-
They're looking NICE!!! Is that wear solidly throughout the 5 years since release?

Word of Mouth - The Crust & Fades Contest

In a somewhat unsurprising turn of events - I expect down to the self-imposed restriction to "only wear my 5150's for 18 months" - I have frantically cycled through all my favourite pairs more than I ever have done 😂 @julian-wolf was right back at the start, it was all big talk and no trousers Anyway, I've returned to my 5150's and I am once again delighted with how comfortable they are, and the weight of the fabric. I'll share some more updates on mine soon. -
They look great! I was going to say you can't go wrong with a pair of well fitting suede loafers - my ideal recommendation would be the Alden unlined LHS in snuff or dark brown suede...Morjas, Horatio and Meermin all do good versions of these though (as seen there!)

+1 for cap and glasses Being bald and shortsighted, both are borderline essential for functioning out of doors. -

Dude, you have a 3 month old. That is doing absolutely more than enough in itself!! Beautiful set of photos by the way - those early days are so so precious. My youngest isn't even 2 yet and I miss the early early times - insanity maybe? I'm okay with insanity if so. -

@CSL I feel that in time your approach will have some striking results. You've also piqued my interest in the JL donkey boots recently! -
More of a what are your jeans doing this evening but I was out walking the dog on the local golf course and got a great view of some SpaceX bits and pieces burning off fuel(?) or something like that. Pretty mesmerising to watch, having no idea what was going on.
-
I'd be interested in seeing this - I know next to nothing about them but the brand has drawn my interest a few times recently!

Uniqlo Warehouse 1001XX-25 Jim Green

100% I couldn't agree more about this! Glad the 1001XX worked out!!
-
@LoneWolfWelding Ouch! Sorry to hear about your leg, but I guess yeah you're right in the long run you're doing great, and injuries caught doing the things we love are the best injuries right? Scars of a life well lived. Couple things - amazing dog, the jeans will have some crazy fade pattern after this, and....cold toes no!?!?!

Welcome @Randori! Great shout on the 220A, once you're into them get them shared on here!
-
Likely story!

(once that first hot wash is done I wouldn't say anything crazy happens, just you will probably notice the odd cm in the inseam now and again with additional washes - it was most striking for me in the DD-1947's, but it's also happening in my 1001XX-25's, which I purchased raw)
-
Ahh man, never mind, at least with Hinoya there is a reduced risk of being stung with import charges! So for the banner denim, the bulk of the shrinkage will come out in a first hot wash - it will then continue to shrink over a number of washes - couldn't say how many but they do tend to keep going for the first 5 or so at least! One of the best fabrics out there IMO, up there with Full Counts current standard denim for me.

Love the Zig-Zag baseball shirts!!!
-
Okay thank you for the summary! I won't be doing that - I'll just keenly refresh warehouse, take-off, union and celluloid from now until they appear somewhere! 😂
-
@jkbrwn this whole look is absolutely spot on, by the way!!
-
I can’t see any information anywhere on when these will be available to buy - have you guys seen anything? EDIT: There may be date info on Bears IG but as I don't have an account I can't expand the caption! I'm not just being mega lazy!
-
It's a lovely pair that mate! I was after that before I found the older S1003XX, to be honest, I'm still after a pair. Never had the flannel pocket bags before. The hem obsession is real, and in fact, I'm proud of it 😂
