Ouch, y’all get hit hard with customs…

To get into the true Italian mindset I purchased an espresso maker. First time doing it myself but the Bambino makes it pretty straightforward.

That’s actually insane. I’ve had cheaper imports with parcel force on multi items parcels from Japan!!

Did you request a lower value?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Soak before the wash 

[srudy]

How many of us haven’t received them yet?

[julian-wolf]

@srudy Where are yours according to USPS tracking? I would have assumed our packages would’ve been on all the same planes (& I think I was one of the last to receive shipping confirmation…)

[srudy]

Yeah you’d think that @julian-wolf I agree! But looks like mine landed in the US Jan 15 and haven’t moved. 

[julian-wolf]

Funny…mine landed in Jamaica, NY on the morning of the 15th and were in Oakland the next afternoon

Maybe customs issues??

Grabbing some breakfast tacos this morning.

are there some rules how to use two threads to one contest ?

my posts from The Picture thread are always moved to this The Crust & Fade thread. Is there some reason to have two threads ?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The answer is in the first post of the picture thread 😊 I can move your initial fit pics back though. Others posted those as well i think. 

"Please post your RAW/DRY/RIGID picture of the jeans with a newspaper or another method to show the date in this thread.

Afterwards you are good to go. Soak, wash or wear them how you like.

 

18 months later we will use this thread to showcase the final results!

Keep the banter and journey of the jeans in the original thread."

I did ask for the insurance but didn’t think of the tax.
My fault I guess. Still a bit sickening. 
Just bought 2 Cushman sweatshirts from Japan. Shipped, they each cost about what this bill was.
I lost a new sweatshirt to HMRC today gang! 

Scheduled for delivery on Tuesday. Monday was an extra £12! I’ll take the savings where I can get them. 
 

Still very much looking forward to them

Apparently I've been neglecting this thread in favor of the 'pictures' one so didn't notice all the cheering Happy Birthdays until just now. Thanks you all!!!
On the day we had a quiet gathering at home, just Mrs. CSL, her sister & the bro in law, but the night before I was part of a show in LA where I got to be made a fuss of by my circle of music friends.

[oomslokop]

Clocking 46.5cm (BiG style) after two hot washes, but I wear them loose and figure they'd stretch if someone was apt. Gotta say these may be my favorite fitting jeans in a long time though. Looks like I'm going size 40 on everything moving forward 😂

@JohnM That’s a great shirt. Who makes it? Looks a lot like one I have & love from Great Lakes, but mine only buttons half way

Maiden voyage for both the jeans and my new bicycle…
