Starting to rethink my plans for Tokyo and Kyoto this November....

@Denimhead-0

For anyone who has been buying the brand for a (relatively short) while this is the real issue

@Tago-Mago and yes just checked can’t see anywhere online for it, will bear it in mind when in bottle shops from now on

@Tago-Mago that looks special!!

German beer really is the best, so grateful we have a good selection available in the UK.

I am on the Erdinger Dunkel again today

@Tago-Mago I treated myself to a box of 12 bottles of tap 7 recently, keep meaning to post it here, gorgeous beer.

Having said that I do think I actually prefer Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier which is available for a reasonable price in Sainsbury's here in the UK.

Bump

Drooling confirmed

Just done the Homer Simpson drool when I see that lamb

@Giles Who was the mastermind??

Shes both used and broken in by the original owner but still able to stand alone, this jacket
Is everything everyone claims!!

@chadstone30 It was definitely a fair price, I feel very lucky to have it!

Love the contrast from brass to silver on that, cracking piece

Couldn’t resist when a size large Wills V2 popped up on eBay in the UK this week, absoloutely chuffed!!

Price drop

Bump!

@Elio È stato rilasciato a metà dell'anno scorso, quindi probabilmente ci vorrà un po' prima della prossima corsa

It was released in the middle of last year, so it will probably be a while before the next race

@Indigo-Alchemist looks a good fit from here, will only improve after the first soak and with wear. As long as your comfortable then happy days. I'm on day 3 with my 666 and they are shaping up even better with every hour that passes.

@yannis thank you sir!

IMO denim weight impacts comfort and mobility, I have 777 in both 14oz and 21 oz that measure near identical but the 21oz feels more restrictive than the 14oz, both have different uses and neither are uncomfortable, but for sure a different feel. Love both my 777 FWIW.

But for 25oz I wanted the slightly higher rise of the 666 and also decided to size up on comparable 777 measurements for that slightly more relaxed look and feel, which has worked out perfectly.

I always wear a belt and am not worried about the waist stretching, so aimed for a waist that would shrink to only slightly below what I was aiming for. Which essentially gave the same result all over.

Soaked at 40c for about 35 mins with plenty agitation followed by a wash at 30c with no spin, hung dry. Tried to do it by the book. They will never see water that warm again as my wash routine is a tepid soak followed by a 20c wash no spin. Not sure why just the way I wash them jawns!

Got pre and poast soak pics AND measurements, hope that and the rest of this essay can be of use to someone in the future!

You can really see in the pics how that inky shine has instantly gone. Which explains the color of the bath water!

Pre soak

Waist 35”
Fr 11”
Rr 15.5”
Thigh 12”
Knee 9.25”
Hem 8.5”
Inseam 36.25”

Post soak

Waist 34”
Fr 10.75”
Rr 14.75”
Thigh 11.75”
Knee 9”
Hem 8.5”
Inseam 35.25”

Bit of room for hemming in the future, but plan to embrace the stacks and creases for now.

@worn2fade serious outfit

More German beer for sunday afternoon
