Where’s @buler?? 
Miss seeing your old workwear posts too 

[irual]

Have not been wearing these for the last couple of months as the stitching on the top button hole came undone and it took me ages to take care of it.

Mended left knee.

Right hand knee looks kinda fine but turn the leg inside out and you’ll clearly see the hole forming.

Yeah, where is that idiot. I've been super busy with family stuff. I also got too fat to wear my TCB's. That will hopefully change soon.

Somehow the jacket/kimono looks older/more worn on the year old pic with the new jeans than on the left

The time had arrived for another repair. Should have jumped on this one sooner but it seems to have worked out OK.

I tried to follow the direction of the weave but it's hard to control the back-stitch function. I now understand why there are specific machines for this task.

I also reenforced the earlier repair.

^ yep, that's what happened to my patch... now I just have the outline, don't mind it actually...

[Jared_Lee]

I was heartbroken the day I cooked my '50s contest patch (a month after the contest ended). Then I accidentally did the same with my Devi's patch. With the S40s, I have remained vigilant about treating the patch with Obenauf's before every wash. It's worked like a charm. I also recently used the Dr. Marten's tin on my Left Field patch. It also worked very well. But, if patch cooked evo is your thing, looking good! Haha.

I very much don’t mind what’s happening to the patch. It is what it is.

after machine washed, the jeans got some pretty holes

The thigh area on my right leg is starting to get thin. Time to start thinking about how I want to patch these. So many options.

after washing 

[srudy]

@Yot the question is to wash more or leave as is……

[Jared_Lee]

@srudy my move is usually to wash more the older they get.

It is a good -13 celsius degrees today. Have to wear long johns to be able to keep wearing the competition pair. Took a picture on today's walk with the dog, the sun is already setting at 2 in the afternoon and you can spot some ice skater on the lake in the distance.
