Proper British springtime photo - grey skies, washing out on the line defying the weather, bonus dog's back end as well, unsure why I'm screwing my face up so much but there we have it.

Toy's Mccoy // Denime

2nd fit: same + Cushman sweat, Altra trail runners & Yeti cap

In truth it’s been a difficult day, first day of both my girls in childcare, it’s not something we ever wanted to do and the drop off was emotional. Maybe that’s why I was also screwing my face up in the first photo. Anyway, some suitably dad fits. PS the 220a’s are MEGA crispy, I did not expect that!

@Alec Leamas I still have a hard time dropping off my son but more than a year in I am sure it has been the best thing for him. His socialization skills have wildly improved, his imagination has grown in ways it wouldn't have at home, and most of all, he's been able to learn from more people that are not his two parents and while we do our best and contain multitudes, we cannot show him everything. 

It gets easier, but it never gets easy. Everyone is different, but in general I think it's quite good for the kids and harder for the parents.

@AlientoyWorkmachine Thanks dude for your supportive and thoughtful response, I appreciate it!

understanding very much discussions above; good luck with the socialisation; takes a village to raise the child... (or via Lev Vgotsky; it is through others we becomes ourselves...)

an ooe tux flex of such caliber can never be called sedate; oh the bandanna... long may he flutter

Kapital, Sugar Cane (not visible), Ooe…and Blundstones which aren’t my fave but the default choice for shitkicking in the mud season here.

Saw the spectacular amazing and  talented Sierra Ferrel this week and had to get my Y'all-ternative on. 

Barlesoni Homburg 

Lots of rings

Cropped Levi's Western shirt 

Vintage 1984 Olympics tee (as worn by Val Kilmer in Real Genius) 

Painted leather belt

Mister Feeedom Outlaw 

Vintage Justin's with tulip inlay and homemade bootstrap. 

This T shirt is one of my most prized vintage items and probably the rarest tee I own.  Obviously no provenance but since it came from California you can't prove it's *not* the screen used shirt! 

 

[MJF9]

@AlientoyWorkmachine Kapital looking good... not sure I've seen that version before... how are you finding it?

[ATWM]

@MJF9 thanks! It’s the Tri-P coat, a little different than the ring, but similar in a lot of ways as well. I like it a lot, I think it will get a lot of wear 3 seasons of the year here. Perfect for layering.

Nice. I’ve got that same pair, but it’s still raw and tucked away, probably for a good while. 

[julian-wolf]

They’re really cool jeans, & I like the cut a lot through the whole top block, but I’m having trouble with how much they taper. I’m not sure how close the measurements would line up on paper, but in practice they feel really close to the R01, which was a favorite cut of mine for a long time, before my current wider-jeans kick. I’m sure I’ll swing back around eventually.

[ATWM]

@julian-wolfI get it. I go back and forth. Some days I am wearing oversized 132’s or fullcount 0105, some days still on my 601xx 51’s (which feel like the perfect cut for me in some ways, if we’re speaking more fitted). I like the wider fits a lot but the variety is good too. The 44/45 didn’t strike me as having a smaller hem from what I remember but I won’t find out for awhile I guess. 

[julian-wolf]

They def. feel like they taper more through the lower leg than the ‘51 or the 601rb

[MJF9]

^ I found the WW2 felt slim too after wearing wide jeans... however, as you said Julian, it didn't take long to swing around and get used to them.  I tend to now flip in and out wearing them and all's good, especially as the denim has softened up lots 

[shredwin_206]

@MJF9 yea the s601xx I find crazy slIm through the top block compared to the other cuts. 

[MJF9]

^ especially with all the squats you've been doing pal!

Bought the super smooth fullcount wide jeans. On sale too.

first time wearing them, I like them

papa nui, RMC, fullcount, vans

 

[lee porter]

Love them where are they in the sale

No denim today. But these cargo pants are made by Yamane. Obviously, the prototype was the flight equipment suit of the OG-107 era.
