Maybe one more repair before retairement?Pronto collab 22oz

Stained mine badly first wear and decided that white T's are not for me. This is dylons purple dye. Washed many times after the process. Oaktavias is very very nice turqoise. Well done!

My best fitting jeans

Fades are very mild in my Red, but I think it fades to blue -> white unless there is a rip/hole that exposes red dyed weft. A bit similarly to beige weft jeans on backround that fade to blue and white

Me: Who loves denim?
Mosquitos: We do!

Got a tick bite that infected badly. In the end there was a hole in my calf one could stick a finger to and dig around. And that was what helthcare professionals did to remove dead stuff, not with the finger thought. Nasty creatures some of them insects

@Mizmazzle Amazing scenery and beautiful trouts!

I was fishing perch and northern pike earlier this week. Good times. Maybe trying grayling tomorrow.

HOLY FUCK

That is precise and adequate way to describe the situation

What many have said. I think they are fine roomy 888 fit. 21oz will settle rather quickly. If you were after tighter jeans I believe you are pretty unlucky with muscular lower body. Cuts are quite limited across all japanise brands

While we are at it. Making your own sandwiches is a misery. I have no discipline to follow it through and sit down to eat. I end up doing my second sandwich while eating the first ...and even that is a lie cos I'm 100% eating the first sandwich while I'm making it.

@Oaktavia good to know. My jeans will allways blowout in same place (other brands too). Maybe it's a habit and bodyshape/movement thing. I suspect that lack of stretch just does it faster with xhs. Not even complaining really, just observing. I have two hands and a sewing machine afterall

Hey! I'm visiting Tokyo for the first time. Can you (or anyone else) recommend a tacle shop...

Tokyo really is something else. There is a tackleshop larger than decent sized supermarket back home and it's open 24/7.

Not sure if this is right place to ask, but anyone else noticing XHS jeans needing their first crotch repair earlier compared to lighter denims? I have two pairs and my 634's are developing a hole even thought they are barely broken in. ("barely" in context of xhs. been having them over 2years).

@Giles said in Catch of the day [Fishing]:

Oh, we're talking new tackle are we. Just bought one of these (in Japan for about 1/2 western price), the S86XX Longcast.

Hey! I'm visiting Tokyo for the first time. Can you (or anyone else) recommend a tacle shop there. I probably do not need another light trout rod, but it's Japan and I absolutely need a souvenir for myself

If you could pick just one pair 21oz is hard to beat as an allrounder. Everything else is kinda nice to have luxury

@Gammaman beautiful

Is that shimano soare rod perhaps? I think I have the same reel. Bought myself a christmas present aswell. Super shallow spare spool and a heftier knob. Not a huge fan of ultra thin knob of 2000 vanquish. Going to be a long long winter before I get to use these
