WAYWT 2024 Denim Edition

@bartlebyyphonics Yep, snagged from eBay with some very light wear (uppers creaseless and insoles printless) and this’ll be my first full day in them!

I’d love a pair of Knockabouts some day; these are some or other version of the Zephyr, with a double bottom and a stiff heel counter. I guess the leather is chamois or nubuck, fantastically soft on the outside but too early to say much else about it

nice nice nice: does seem like eBay is giving some Russell love rite now: staring at the screen for us11-d art carter / travelling sportsman to appear... with the ownership transition and utube upping (snail, rose etc.), seems like more awareness arising, and barely worn old stock coming forward...

Always really like your outfits. Always curious about Great Lakes? Did a cursory google but didn't come up with too many results. Any more info on this brand?

@jkbrwn Thanks! Great Lakes Gmt. Mfg. Co. is a Freewheelers label, also responsible for Bubo Sport Togs. Not much info floating around besides what’s here on this forum (largely courtesy of Duke), but generally speaking they’re a [fictitious] outdoors- / sports- / hunting-wear company based in the Midwestern US and operational from around the 1910s through around the 1970s.

(The Great Lakes shirt that I’m wearing above is the same that Broark has on in the post below mine)

@julian-wolf - ah - that makes a ton more sense. Thank you! I saw the US Forest Service jacket they did and thought it was cool but a bit too on the nose, living in a town within a National Forest - ha. Would like it without the FS stencil, though!

This is (briefly) what the Great Lakes sub brand is about. It’s a fairly wide ranging idea, but if you dig a little you’ll start to understand the concepts and even the garment construction which is often quite different (this is something each sub brand will demonstrate).
