Just loving the vibe of great denim, leather jackets , silver chains and watches.
Ship John x Wesco Derroll Engineers have landed. I put down the deposit in October and here they are before Christmas! I was expecting spring or early summer.
Definitely going into heavy rotation and just wanted to post some pictures of the 'before'. I have a pair of White's engineers and these feel a little finer and more substantial. I'll post some patina pics going forward.
I started with a 3A Model 10 and recently scored a size B off a forum member. I knew it was big but you really aren't prepared for the absolute chonk that is the size B
Took a little road trip up the California Central Coast with the missus. I had to stop into Tendrel in Santa Barbara. Parker is a stand up guy and a fellow Gizzhead so we had a lot to chat about. I enjoyed his curated stock with California made items from Mister Freedom as well as Freenote Cloth. Of course plenty of Iron Heart on hand. If your in Santa Barbara check it out!
Rocking the JLC next to the SEXIH25-CPOOD. Love the smaller, original-sized Reverso and when I was looking for one I was always annoyed when they did not show the reverse. So enjoy.
I have several watches but the Sub is my daily driver. There is a reason it's THE classic. This photo is showing me I need take off the bracelet and clean this thing lol.
Finally got my White's Max Schaaf Engineers after a 6 month wait. Scooped this from the summer sale and very pleased with these shitkickers.
Went to KBBQ place with the Missus that uses coal instead of the usual gas grills. The staff actually did most of the grilling for us which I was not expecting but 10/10.
New Mister Freedom Midnight Denim Ranch Blouse just landed. Here it is next to my 5 year old one in the same denim. Forgot how inky blue it used to be. Very interesting the details they changed in the current model. Took away the rounded collar, changed the lining on the underside of the collar and changed the button metal. Over all very satisfied and looking forward to fading this beaut!
My driver Chronostop. Such a quirky , fun little piece.

Just saw them here in San Diego. They put on a great show. Fuzzy, psychedelic, blues, what a great combo. With the Rhodes piano and electric fiddle what a great time!!
Hell yeah got my 2xl! This drop gave me the same juice as a Supreme box logo drop 10 years ago.
More in depth photo set. This will be the last I post here for a min I don't want to spam up the thread.
@FlavourFade
Yeah all said and done you should soak your raw denim before wearing, I was new to the game and really wanted this jacket and it was the only size they had in stock. Live and learn.
@FlavourFade
Not at all with this jacket. I think that is more about crotch blowouts in high friction areas in jeans.
@FlavourFade
That's right. When I bought it the raw measurements were perfect for me and I decided to not do an initial rinse. Over time I tried to not get sweaty in the jacket so as not to need a wash. Last month I saw the new batch come out and thought I might as well wash it and if it shrinks too much I have the option to get one at the proper size. After a good cold water soak and wash, and hang dry , it only lost about a half inch on the sleeves and negligible amount in the chest and shoulders. The elbow creases are so set they didn't move at all. Despite not really being forced to get a new one due to shrinkage I bought one of the new ones in a size up. because why not?
The guys at Mister Freedom sent me an email stating it was the last in my size but it was the rinsed one they used to make the size chart. I took it and this go round I don't need to worry about regular washes.
@anodyne
Hell yeah! Sturgill getting funky and speaking his mind.
