Out in Left Field (1/1/2012-1/1/2013)

[kansas]

another trumpet idol of mine. i got tickets to see him back-in-the-day in kc, but the show got cancelled for some mysterious reason.....

coke anyone?

[Happy Hooligan]

I have a fairly happy jazz LP collection... including some Freddie Hubbard... nothing like hearing on a record player....

[uninkco]

^ question about sizing. i've read i'm supposed to go TTS on these, but that I can also expect some stretch? I am TTS 34 and am thinking about picking up a pair of 32s that are measured at 33 at the waist and hope they stretch out a bit. Thoughts?

[Happy Hooligan]

I'm also at a 34 waist and bought the 34 waist... no issues for me. It's not loose on me at all. And I've been wearing them for almost 2 weeks now. Others have said the waist is snug... I'd go 34 if it were me, but if like your pants tight then go with the 32.

Young one out with me this morning for a fit picture.

Setting a poor example as the gym teacher.

[dkatz]

^ I hope that was actually his fit for the day! You should take some inspiration.

Argh, I wish a pair of indigo 28s would show up in the seconds!

[kansas]

for safety i reinforced my front buttons with a few stitches after the popping-off talk.

[djarrow]

Not part of this contest... but got to say that these pants are great!

Been wearing them for about a month and for superb delicious indigo action, I pair them with UnionMade Golden Bear Indigo vest.

[UkeNo]

I'm Looking forward to seeing how this contest progresses over the year. Nice to see an alternative to Denim too.

Fre$co...This pub looks very familiar - iv'e had beers in there for sure - might pop in next time im at home in WGC.

Cheers

This is our village pub, dating to the 18th century I believe. It's a very nice pub indeed.

Just a quick shot today... at work.

[ihatebrianwilliams]

This is more my speed.

hello my duck brothers. today's look:

fridays are a good day because i generally have them off. today i picked up some shoe care stuff to prepare my boots for winter (finally). i've got some obenauf's in the wings to proof them. plus, the chinos have done a real number on my red wings, so i'm hoping some saddle soap and elbow grease will lessen the blues:

next was lunch at the naha. michelin-starred, if you're into that kind of information. one of THE best salads in chicago? well, you're looking at it right now:

then the lady and i stopped into the haberdash EDC annex store.

if you ever visit the city, i can only assume you would dig haberdash. the EDC store stocks great everyday carry goods - y'know, small items that make life complete. it's one of my favorite - not to mention one of arcarsenal's favorite - spots to peruse small leather goods and the like. took a few snaps for ya'll to see:

you got your otter wax, your tanner goods, etc. a really good selection of boots, and a real nice apothecary section (where they offer old-school close shaves during the week).

but the girlfriend and i were there to pick up an iphone case. she's finally entering the 21st century by getting a smart phone. love the case - 13.5 white oak raw selvedge cone denim. wish they had one for the droid.

mapz-- absolutely killing it every time you post in this thread. seriously dude, digging the hell out of your updates.

and now I gotta follow it...

Used some holiday and birthday money to purchase a fuji instax camera. I had loaded up on polaroid when i got married, and then my supplies ran out and I was SOL. quite happy to re-capture that happy feeling of watching an exposure develop in your hands. Anyways enough chit-chat...

Along NE-283 out in the sticks.

some lady I picked up hitch-hiking... j/k here is the wife I mentioned earlier. Best friend doesn't begin to describe her.

Not entirely sure what the hell it is I was trying to do in this one, I guess I was just overcome with joy over the afternoon, the light,and the pants.

This picture makes me wanna listen to The Get Up Kids.

Happy weekend y'all.

[kansas]

robbie, i think you were channeling footloose.

mapz- daddy like. that is a happening store.

today's fit.

@lottiboi, i wish i could play a stringed inst. after 30 years of trumpet playing, my left hand has zero dexterity. dueling banjo/trumpet might be lacking that certain........everything

@kansas banjo is used a lot in some fun jazz, I would just need to learn some new chords hah, and hey I can't even begin to work a wind instrument!

[erk]
