outdoor vest, don't wear it that much.

you can never be sure with rs, there's quite a bit of irregularities in their products. but i think rs stuff that featured this label might have been made in their first haberdashery in pasadena. i know this vest was sent to me from that address before they moved to the other less pretty more warehousey workshop:

pike jacket, apparently a prototype with only six or so ever made (so they say). i remember emailing khue at their workshop inquiring if they'd have one of these jackets lying around about a year after i saw mike hodis wearing it in a photo from inspiration (?) and got impatient if they would ever release it and lo and behold there was one left in my size. the fabric is japanese duck iirc. 

i love the rudimentary safety stitch

[diggers]

@oomslokopThe best details mas 

[spidereye]

The embroidery words seem to look more contras last time...did you dye again.

[oomslokop]

nope. maybe just the lighting. if anything it's sun-faded a little since the last time i posted it. basically in its true colour in the first two pics. 

[spidereye]

Nice jacket though .I like it ..texted with Allan ask him to reproduce the gents vest would love to cope one

[oomslokop]

blacksmith, about 7 years.

the duck waistband lining fades nice

i love love the fades on the waistband from the denim and the duck shrinking at different rates (the duck less i think). 

cone does reward u in the long run. this is washed pretty frequently too. but in the first 2 or so years the denim did look flat and boring. one day i suddenly realised they looked way more contrasty than i thought it would ever be. 

[spidereye]

Congrats Nice evos mate 

Classic fade *\0/*

[spidereye]

Not shrink much after soaking with cold water I guess the fabrics is sanforized...redline selvedge in this blacksmiths .

[oomslokop]

looks good, my old cone one was also sanforized i think, very little shrink if any

[spidereye]

Used to wear a yukon for a few yrs, nice loose light pair. Today they are my summer shorts 

[shredwin_206]

It’s weird I can’t find any info really at all on the Yukon jeans. 
see lots of posts and info about the blacksmiths though. 
these Yukon are a nice loose fit and lighter weight denim. Good higher rise. 

[smoothsailor]

Half a pair of Yukon’s. I was lucky to find them on sale somewhere some time. Wore them for about 2 yrs. never like the big white patch, and the cinch had to go too.

the coin pocket hides underneath the belt, that was not so handy. I mostly use cash

[shredwin_206]

Two weeks of wear working construction. Going a month at least before first wash. 

[shredwin_206]

[shredwin_206]

6 or 7 weeks wear while working construction. 0 washes still

@shredwin_206 - Lovely! They'll look great after a wash.

[shredwin_206]

8 weeks of hard abuse working construction! 

after their first washing 

[shredwin_206]

quite literally breaking in this Cone denim haha 

[Bobbo]

Dang, how did that even happen?

[shredwin_206]

@Bobbo I work construction for a living. They’ve been worn hard and abused. 
the cuffs are tearing apart so in time they’ll be hemmed by themselves hahah 

[Bobbo]

Haha, free of charge. Not bad!

[shredwin_206]

But  but but Cone Denim takes forever to fade....
My ass. Just gotta work the hell out of it

[shredwin_206]

cuffs finally tore to shreds. 
now they’re naturally hemmed to length  

[shredwin_206]

back from repairs and right back to working hard 

[shredwin_206]

Yukons are getting beat 

[spidereye]

Nice progress  lucky you own a pair of yukon .
