There's nothing like moving house to demonstrate you have to much stuff and clothes 😐

There's nothing like moving to a bigger house to demonstrate you have plenty of room for more stuff and clothes

@Double 0 Soul Can't remember when we were having the conversation about clothes racks, particularly jeans storage? Think it was just after @beautiful_FrEaK did a show and tell on his wooden jeans rack some time back. You (Neal) made a quip about my homemade effort being a couple of runner bean canes and some string 🤣

Anyhow, l could go on about how l  actually would do a half decent job if l so wished to make one (l have some skills) but l am in fact quite a bit of a lazy bastard, so instead here is my effort for now. It took no time at all to make: Simply go to any UK store on its last day of business - l went to Wilkos and bought a clothes rail for 17 quid ( l got 2, one also for Mrs_Heech) and then over to M & Co for some free hangers (well they would have ended up in landfill knowing how contractors work).

Made some adjustments to the rail to make it more bespoke by cutting the length of the legs. Might add a couple of jackets 🤔 but otherwise Job done 😁.

Wow...

[Double 0 Soul]

Oh dear.. that's just tragic

I don't know what's better @Maynard Friedman .. the Harry Styles one or this one below?

They've only had 4x posts since May?

I've just read through their handfull of contributions from the last 6mths.. it sounds like Mike has had some kind of breakdown

[CSL]

There were a handful of us who tried to rekindle, but the fire wouldn't catch. Apparently it had just run its course. 

Double O had been a major contributor, sparking off conversations like he does here. When he departed a large amount of air went out of the balloon, and there was no getting it back. Of course there were other factors, the LeRoy incident being a big one, causing other major contributors to back away.

But joking aside, someone should save the photos from the How It's Worn (or whatever they called it over there) thread. There were some seriously stylish and photogenic folks posting regularly. Would make a nice coffee table book...

I always wonder what's on their mind?
"Hey I found this dead place, a post once in a blue moon. This has to be THE place to ask this question which has like nothing to do with the other posts here"

[Double 0 Soul]

I did say that i would help rebuild it, on one condition.. that they hand over the keys to the forum to someone who we could trust not to fuck it up again.

They wouldn't .. so it died

That, and people who join specifically to sell or ask the value of an item, in a place that no-one visits!

Has anyone visited this town?
Sounds good

What the Blasphemy is this?!

[Double 0 Soul]

My kid bought it for his mums birthday.. he spotted them on TikTok, i think it's following on from the Dubai chocolate trend with the green pistachio cream..albeit, this^^ is nicer.

My employer buys and requires us all to wear Carhartt B11 pants, all cotton, made entirely in Nicaragua

The carabiner I’ve used for a while shredded this belt loop in just a few weeks

Beware guys, AI fades are incoming:

 

I asked ChatGPT to create a picture of a pair of 2 years worn raw denim jeans.

You could have just looked at a pair from your own collection...... Oh no forget that

Looks better than the lvc distressed stuff

[MJF9]

The next step is to 3D print them... not

[Cold Summer]

Where it's really going to get weird is people taking photos of their actual jeans and then telling "AI" to enhance the fade. I could see this breaking fade competitions like Indigo Invitational (which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.) The "top fades" already look pretty fake, so it could cause some real chaos if it's hard/impossible to tell if it's "AI" enhanced or not.

[scooby]

I don’t use AI for my fades, actually

I roll around in my backyard - don’t bother picking up after my dogs, or trash from my home-improvement projects because the fecal matter and debris help speed up the epic fades on my raw Japanese selvedge denim. Then when I’m ready for a wash I head to the aquatic park in Berkeley for a dip. Then 2,000 deep lunges to dry them off 

These fades were hard earned
