Word of Mouth - The Crust & Fades Contest

[MJF9]

Took the WoMs for a walk in nearby Gledhow Valley Woods, a coffee in Chapel Allerton and back again, with my lad

Glorious day - blue sky with a nice chill in the air

Baby fade coming on...

50s vibes... WoM 5150 / Rototo / Freewheelers special heavyweight sweatshirt / Samurai 21oz 552XX / Converse MiJ from Gee

That post grocery golden hour (featuring peaks of fading)

In a somewhat unsurprising turn of events - I expect down to the self-imposed restriction to "only wear my 5150's for 18 months" - I have frantically cycled through all my favourite pairs more than I ever have done 😂

@julian-wolf was right back at the start, it was all big talk and no trousers

Anyway, I've returned to my 5150's and I am once again delighted with how comfortable they are, and the weight of the fabric. I'll share some more updates on mine soon.

We could have told you that from looking at the Warehouse thread bud 😄

Back on the train you get…

I started wearing chinos for the first time ever, about 2 months after this comp started. Haven’t really worn other jeans that much, maybe a day a week, if that. The weather is starting to be ideal for this weight of denim too.

This is really just a contest of self discipline / willpower / focus isn’t it? 

(I suppose laziness and/or brokeness can be a big advantage too)

@MJF9 We need more Elizabeth Brices in this world.

[MJF9]

Indeed @Dr_Heech... she was dope!!

Sorry for the multi post, forgot this one:


Some nice light blue hues coming through in certain lights which is always hard to pick up on camera

Third wash (‘51 601xx for color reference)

…feat. pocket bag update no. 1, and another shot of the loom chatter on the back of the right leg

Lookin' great Julian!

[CSL]

Remarkable progress!

[Alec Leamas]

Great work!!

[jkbrwn]

Exceptional!

[julian-wolf]

Thanks folks! Really pleased with how they’re wearing in so far. I do wish the cut was wider and higher, but the detailing is good and the denim is just lovely

[ATWM]

^ that’s what the 611 was for! 😏 or maybe I just sized a bit generously?

It’s funny how loose and free these feel compared to my usual pairs - aside from my sized up 132s, that is.

It’s not that they feel restrictive or anything—besides the lower rise, they feel pretty similar to the SC ‘47, which have always fit me great as far as slim–straight (relative to my build) jeans go. I just generally prefer much wider and higher jeans, stylistically. After this contest, I wouldn’t be surprised if I spent a year wearing nothing but the M41027 and the M41058
