Gang, I have seen the light. Day 1 in the 634s 21oz. I have never felt a better feeling denim.

Happy new year, everyone! Let’s go!

This is the best first post I could think to make for this thread. I’m having myself a great day! Picked up my first two pairs today. The guys at the Osaka store are incredibly nice, and so helpful.

The nickname “Black Armor” for the 9634 is legit. Just walked the dog out in the mid 30s(F) and the wind was not getting through this denim.

TS - indigo twill
634s 21oz

Long time listener. First time caller. First wear of one of my Japan pick ups.

21oz 9634z - they aren’t kidding when they call this “black armor”. Forgive the work from home slippers. lol.

Still warm t-shirt weather in NC, despite what the foliage says. Loving these 634s even more every day.

Got the black armor 9364z on in prep for this pending “snow storm” that is headed our way in NC.

Currently two sessions in with Steve Zimonvan (Remember Me Tattoo) on my back. So stoked with how it’s looking.

Figured this 1994 unissued Romanian fleck field shirt would pair well with the 9634. Unfortunately, it’s almost too warm here to wear it today.

@Dystopia very cool shirt and a GREAT band. Figured I could also throw some recent grabs into the thread, as well.

@ROman thanks! Was so stoked to finally use the Fuji 100 I got in Japan. Special film for a special trip.

@SFMCfranky the colors in this are so nice!

@AllAhoo so sorry I’ve been away, but you said if. Got great use of it on the trip, too! Here’s a handful of shots from the Great Ocean Road. Shot with the Fuji 100 from Japan.

No new photos to share as of now, but I’ve got two more days of work before we head off for my wife’s 40th trip. Got a whole grip of film ready for the tip! Threw in an old image from a trip with my best friends from a morning hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains, though. Shot on my Leica M5 with Lomo 800 (grainy goodness).

@weftyarn wow, I bet that was insane trip. Those photos look awesome!

@ROman that’s awesome! We have a photo group out here that meets up fairly often. Check out Greensboro Photo Collective on the grams if you’re interested.

@Jett129 oh definitely! Creativity and inspiration for sure comes in waves. This has been an on-off personal project for a couple of years. I’ll definitely share more as I work on it. Maybe one day, I’ll be happy enough with shots to do a zine or something.

@Marc2706 beautiful shots you got there!

@SKT this is easily the third try I’ve taken for this scene. The first two were from a different angle, and the light was not nearly as good. I’m with you, there’s definitely something about doorways. Getting close to liminal space territory.
