        I need to up my keychain/key hook game… the clip I have used for years won't close around the UHR beltloops (maybe this is a first world problem post haha), and I feel I am simply too old to rock the carabiner+keys look (brings back too many memories of 7th grade/Blink 182 days)

            @Finkster - you mean you didn't look like this back in the day? hahahaha

            Part of me is embarrassed for myself in my teenage years… the other part says "Hell yeah, what a boss" haha

              ^ During my Rockabilly / Psychobilly-phase from the late 80s - to ca. 2000, I used always a solid carabiner-wallet chain combo … later on, when I found back to punkrock and metal - leather wallet reigns and more high class keyhooks ..... whatever  😃

                Can anyone here to point out the direction where to look for :

                • sashiko, heavy one: double weave Sei Aizome, genuine traditional natural indigo dye
                • indigo tonal thread (the one used in indigo/indigo 633S)?
                • yellow poly-cotton IH or any similar quality thread?

                Thank you.

                P.S.: I got a well developed obsession/design idea and lady-tailor, real good. Say, 80% completed.
                All I need: remained three things above.

                  I can't decide between 666SII (best denim, not the best fit), 666S-BK (somewhere in the middle) and 777S-14 (best fit, not the most exciting denim). Looking for any input to make my decision easier. So.. who's got some input haha?

                      Well, obviously it doesn't really matter, but I'm dirt poor and won't see new jeans for some time. Current ones are falling apart, so I wanna the new pair count!

                        In that case, choose fit as the main criteria. A pair of jeans that fit you well will give you more pleasure in the long run than a pair that are made of cool denim (from what I can tell the 14oz might be pretty cool too).

                            ^I agree, besides I think the 14 oz denim is more appealing than the other two. Of course that's personal taste.

                              Have you considered the 555N?  Mine seem more relaxed than other 555 cuts (definitely more relaxed than the 555's in sbg I tried)?

                                Of the 555s, the 01 is defo the most relaxed cut…

                                  Thanks for the input guys! Atm I'm leaning towards the 666S-BK, actually.

                                    I would recommend the 66SBG. The denim is comfy and you'll get an amazing colour after some wear. You will always have time for blue denim thereafter ;).

                                      You need a Good Art Hlywd belt loop buddy. Best damn keychain ever!

                                        Of their gear?
