yeah,i am fine.do i look too badmooded?

the Tee that came with the jeans is really great,fit is spot on,fabric is similar to the Johnson Motors i own,its some sort of singed cotton in broken white.

must spread almostnice. where to cop engineerpant?

edit I see www.pikebrothersshop.com looks like nice stuff

[almostnice]

it definetly is.all items I handled so far are top notch quality.the bib overall is my daily workpant since 6 months and its undestructable so far,doesnt matter how much I abuse it.I got an offer to swap it for a new one when its worn out but I suppose that will not happen very soon.

[Dchill]

I was hoping you would start this thread almostnice. Pike Brothers just moved to second on my "want list".

[H.Bosch]

i have that same red raiders sweatshirt.

Wow, the 1955 Engineer Pant looks good.

[Tanner13]

You definitely got me interested. I think I'll snatch one of those sweatshirts around Xmas and the new year. I'm still sitting on the fence between the roamer and the engineer though, have to keep the funds in check too...

[diagnosis]

I really love the way the back pocket has been cut with the slight 'wave' on the inside edge.

Wow, the 1955 Engineer Pant looks good.

I dig those ones too. I would love to see some close-ups of the denim.

[almostnice]

^^will post pics later today.

[almostnice]

sorry for the late pics:

after 2 weeks wear the creases settled nicely,the fit stretched a bit,its very comfortable now.these also bleed alot,so i have to be careful with anything white/lightcoloured around me.

i just realized that i made it on to the pikebrothers website:

http://www.pikebrothers.com/2009/07atwork.php

just click the little arrow right above.

i am going outside now,wearing the engineerpant, taking the family and a sledge to have some fun in the snow.hope i can take some nice pics.

[Dchill]

You gettin' paid for that almostnice? If not you should be!

[daveo]

I love the fit on the 1955s! If only they had measurements up...

[matt0]

i was going to buy a pair of lvc 1947s but have been struggling to find them in my size. The 1955 engineer are just cheaper than the 1947s but are very nice looking. Do shrink after a soak or are they sanforized? Has anyone got a worn pair they have photos of?

mine havent seen any water til now,but according to Fabian of Pikebros they shrink about one inch in lenght and a half in the waist.

some actionshots from today wearing the engineerspant:

"

it took me some days to get use to the low backpockets,but now i really like the fit.makes me feel a bit "younger".

[Dchill]

feelin' younger....always a good thing, dope jacket btw.

[almostnice]

cheers Dchill.i really love the B10 now,even though i know there are more accurate ones out there,but the quality of mine is simply amazing!

[Dchill]

yeah the color is great where did you it? And damn boy where are your gloves, it looks F'in cold?

[almostnice]

gloves are in my wifes bag-had to set the cam up.

jacket is aeroleather.

[salaami]

pike bros. is the only non MiJ jean that i would spend my hard earned $$$ on. i love the fact that they are actually telling people to wear their shit while doing work(naturally).

[salaami]

Sorry To Doublepost...

[almostnice]

I got several pms about other stuff,esp. the Roamerpant and the B10.as these are not in my collection i went to the Ridersroom and took some pics.

first the Roamer:

US WWII coverall, medium:

USAAF combatschool crew sweater,medium:

B-10 size 42:

Hybrid jacket,size 40:

[fardin]

the coverall looks great on you markus.

[almostnice]

cheers.AFAIK it will not be in the forthcoming collection,so i thought about to buy it.but with the biboverall i found my perfect workpant which gets better and better now,so no need to spend money on an item i am probably not going to wear.

Roamer vs Engineer:

fuller cut-loose fit,11 ounce denim,plain flat rivets,cinch back,suspender buttons

B-10:

i said somewhere before that the thickness of the pike ones is the same as my aero.after handling them again yesterday i have to say that the pike B-10 is thinner.according to the owner of Ridersroom and judging from original fotos,this is more authentic,which also goes for the pocketflaps of the pikes.

the blue hybridjacket is very nice.its their b-10 but the outerfabric is blue finecord similar to that one used on N-1 deckjackets,a little thicker than the olive satinfabric.
