WAYWT 2025 Denim Edition

[okimoto]

LVC sweatshirt, At Last Co. 147’s (size 30), Converse

The 147’s did not shrink anywhere near as much as I had expected so I’m holding off hemming until the next wash or two. Not a fan of cuffs but I pressed them this time and think it doesn’t look half bad

Bonus rep for bringing a new WAYWT pose!

@okimoto I like big cuffs (on the 147s) and I cannot lie... bravo

@Superstar and bravo on the Sassafras jacket... funky brand... looks like some good wear there 

[Superstar]

@MJF9 bought it from the man himself back in 2014 in his store in Kyoto. nice guy, nice brand history, amazing denim

never washed it, worn it for +10 years now. can’t bring my self to washing it, i cant stand seeing it loose it’s dark indigo hue

so don’t think I ever will…

@Superstar remembered I'd seen it before and found your post here... looks great

Aren’t At Last jeans sanforized or am I wrong about that?

Honestly, I'm not sure. The flasher said 'shrink to fit' and Brogue California gave me estimated shrinkage for all dimensions, but I've read conflicting info on the At Last thread and lost virtually nothing in terms of the horizontal measurements. A hot wash only took about an inch, maybe less, off of the length too, but maybe I didn't pay enough attention to the wash cycle I chose.

Wasn’t planning to WAYWT today but I liked this fit and was just standing around while my wife tried on some dresses. Viberg ball cap, Deluxeware thermal, McCoys A-2, Hollows belt, Flat Head 3003xx, Wesco 7500.

@yung_flynn Really envious of that rugby shirt; those are such a classic look. All the modern ones seem to be cheap & outsourced. McCoy’s did a great version 2–3 years ago (I think it was actually even in a similar color to yours) but the fit was all wonky. Gotta get back into scanning vintage shops, I guess

I got this one off eBay for less than $50 (made in Narranganssett, RI). I’ve seen one or two others pop up in this pattern for similar prices since I got it too. There’s a few other Rugged Wear color ways out there too that I’ve run across but most are a little too vaporwave for me. 
 

Withernot sells a rugby really close to this one for $125 but I have no experience with their stuff

@mlwdp Great find! (in response to @yung_flynn 's post I mean)

Forgive my ignorance,  but who is that? He looks like a cross between Ryan Gosling and Paul Simon.

Funnily enough Chevy Chase appeared in a music video by Paul Simon back in the 80's,  the name l think was  'You can Call me AL'. I was a big fan of Chevy Chase films back in the day.

@Geeman Good shout, not familiar with them but they seem like a really good option. Might fall back on trying one of those if I can’t find a good vintage alternative

@yung_flynn I’ve actually been seeing a lot of ads for Withernot, recently. Their designs look good but all they have to say about their provenance is “imported”, which feels tough to support
