yep, less care what others may think….

[RocknRoll]

Totally, Rocket. I realise the tone of my last post sounded a bit judgemental - sorry about that. I really just meant that I don't think I could look good in that jacket.

[Finn666]

it's all good mate, don't worry

[injunjack]

that's typical HOG member there…in JSJ's pic ROTFLOL

[rocket]

that was not mean in your direction RocknRoll….made more of a general statement... since imo a lot of people care far too much about what others may think about...

Just got the Eat Dust vest from Hepcat.se frickin' love it. It's going to take some breaking in, but the shits pretty boss. Only complaint is no pockets.

[rocket]

pockets are overrated…

Anybody ever heard of the Norwegian livid denim? I saw them in selectism today and thought it was a pretty neat story.

Interesting article in denimhunters.

Whaddaya mean no pockets? Are the breastpockets "fakes"?? Or are talking about those sidepockets you find on trucker-model jeans jackets??

[joesaintjohn]

Brest pockets are real. I'm just used to having the pockets like in type3s, so I keep trying to put things in them and they're not there. I think it'll just take me a while to get used to it. This thing is stiff as feck, and I think it'll look insanely badass in about a year of solid abuse.

JSJ, Type III traditionally don't have side pockets. That's why the IH 526J has no side pockets. It's modified, if it has side pockets, like the 2526J.

[joesaintjohn]

Ah-ha. Thanks for the info. I don't know why, but I always assume everything has tons of pockets. I do like the placement on the IH-9526V. The more I wear this thing the more I'm getting used to it.

Thanks, Finn! That's rad.

[injunjack]

Yup, no pocketas on type 3s, that's why I said Trucker…I think that what Levi's calls them..

KAPITAL Cisco O/W: tagged W32 :: 13.75oz

[BrownIcon]

Fujimon  Nora x Charcoal O/W [10th Anniversay: r by 45RPM]:: TTS @W33 :: the cut silhouette is comparable to a model 1953,  eg, Fullcount 0105  with a mid-rise.

Fujimon utilized hand-picked Suvin; an extra long staple cotton known to be the finest in the world.  Naturally dyed in Aizome followed by the addition of a natural charcoal dye. It has an increased bumpy and handmade texture made by working the shuttle loom even slower than with the new Jomon.

Current measurements:  w= 33.5,  ins= 32,  f/r= 10.5, b/r= 15.5, u/t= 12.5, kne= 9.5, l/o= 8.5

raised belt loops & back pocket edges + black-coated rivets

Very interesting pair there.  Any fade pics floating around?

Hey everybody,

Not sure if this is the correct place to post or not, but just going to throw up some pictures of a 30" pair of jeans (oneculture's) that are heading into retirement. They are just too small, the crotch keeps blowing out..

So they were worn for approx 13 months over a year and a half I reckon. Enjoy.
