Loving my sweet new B-10! Still can’t believe the IHM-16 wasn’t a strong seller. But at last this under the radar classic is mine

So great to spend time with all of you, @ROman!

79 and 829 keeping me warm on the ferry to Vancouver Island!

Happy New Year! Herringbone and super black in the spirit of DGAF until there is peace in 2024.

Wabash bucket hat and JMM molino. Need to clean the sunscreen and salt off my phone camera, but cannot be bothered to do it ️

The tour-chore has arrived!! Thank you so much for all the goodies, @endo. There will be quality anti-fascist stickers popping up all over this town

The jacket fits me much better than I expected! It’s warming up a bit, but I should be able to get lots of good use out of it during March and the beginning of April in Asheville.

I’m at work today. For this of you who don’t know, I’m a youth services librarian at the public library. The fit pic is me standing next to our kid’s graphic novels.

Huge thanks to @Kirk for a pristine pair of JMM that are a gift for my wife! Great transaction all around.

I’ve certainly never minded the roomy sleeves! And they settled just fine.

Aren’t we supposed to keep the foot pics to DM, y’all?

I thought you did?! I will gladly be wrong! I’ve asked for it in this thread a few times, and it seemed like the production of that denim was spread thin for jeans and jackets.

I wish that flagship 21oz was on the table for an untucked/work cpo 🥺.

You have to look at the measurements! I don’t have the 14oz in both 666 and 888, but I do have 25 oz in both cuts. The size 40 barely fits me in a 666, too tight in the thigh. I have had a 38 in the 888 that fit better, but still felt a little restrictive because it was 25oz. In other denim weights, size 38 is good in the 888.

Overall, there’s more to look at when comparing cuts, rise also plays a factor, because it tells you where the waist will sit, and how the hip and thigh will sit in the top block. Sticking to the same size will give you the thigh room you’re after, but depending on the way you want your jeans to fit, you may be able to go a size down.

This whole conversation just reinforces why I can’t stand contests. All the fades are great! They’re evidence of a life lived in denim. The benefit of the invitational is it cause folks to focus on a single pair which really produces stunning results, quickly. Other than that, judgements of the “best” will always be subjective, and labeling people winners (making some into losers), just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Congrats to all of you who competed. You’ve really made some lovely jeans. Now onto the next fade project, eh?

Definitely early. Maybe the first run! Only other shirt I’ve seen that placket print on was the first buffalo check, the 06.

Oho hickory getting the Giles treatment is gonna be fun to watch
