Dan. the brass hardware looks nice. good touch. also the leather patch has aged nicely over the past 2 years, good to see the jeans are still holding up so well. how often do you wear them?

aho im assuming that by 15th anniversary you mean the 1001xx denim?

[Dan.]

Thanks Ranon. Wear them loads through the winter, as in 5 out of 7 days a week.

Summer I hardly ever have them on, just too hot blooded to cope with denim when it's warm. Maybe once a week for going out of a night.

Got some black denim samples on the way now ready for next winter.

Took some fit pics , sarah (my partner) still has not gotten round to picking a full lenth mirror after 3 1/2 months so this should do the job

talking 'bout perfect fit...you got it!

[aho]

hot damn thats a good fit there...

ranon, yup the 1001XX denim...which by extension is technically the same denim on their last run of 1001XX (non anniversary), 700's with the double arcs, etc.

if this whole Ooe contest thing fizzles, i'm adding a 4301 to my bucketlist (been meaning to for the past 3 years....) and a 02 cut for beaters

Thanks, keep some faith aho im sure ryo and hiro will sort us out

[jyoni]

flash...those look so good on you!

some updates, 4403 at 4.5-ish months. The 44 is a t-o-u-g-h ass dye job to break Almost zero on the combs! I like that toughness about it though. The jeans have been on ice while I conjure up a better plan for cuff repairs. Stitching works but it's alot of elbow grease and the patches just blow anyway. I'm thinking some heavy-duty heat activated glue with some nice denim scraps.

Rotating Skull 5010 Pima's for now.

[aho]

damn, you can tell that's some tough dye to break in...good stuff!

[jyoni]

It's a beast...just doesn't give a shit about our fades.

[the bandanna almanac]

Finished my custom order today whilst starting and discussing an additional personal project with Ryo and Hiro. Now the wait till June...

[Gnob]

[Flash]

What did you choose for your order mate ?

Ooe X BA but I have to hand it to those two for taking up my offer. It is a real first for them.

[the bandanna almanac]

What did you choose for your order mate ?

02's but with a lot of personal additions. Dug up some stuff from my personal stash of vintage as well to add to the details. Ryo and Hiro were wide-eyed with enthusiasm with the contents of the goodie-bag I brought with me.

[Flash]

Be sure to post lots of pics when you get them , looking foward too seeing them

[the bandanna almanac]

That's guaranteed to happen, don't want to spoil a sweet surprise. I'd like to keep everyone curious...

[ranonranonarat]

can't wait to see them and anything else as well. sounds like it's gonna be one hell of a pair.

[SLAB]

cool details! you sourced the denim for this jeans?

[Gnob]

Wow. Amazing details Jon.. Fantastic choices, especially the expose rivets, fabric and the belt loop.

paisleys overload? But good work on the leather patch though.
