I was gonna post this in the bad fit of today topic.. Blue / black / brown kinda sent me this morning, but it doesn't look to bad in the pic. I guess I am hung up on suiting rules more than I should be.

First was a 666-21 I bought from the good folks at Burg und Schild in, I want to say, 2021. I've since sold them because they became much too big for me. Replaced them with a 777-21 in 2022 from Statement which I still rock as my main pair, even though they too are running quite large on me at this point.
First shirt must have been a Johnny Cash III, which I still have though is on the chopping block because that one, too, does not fit me anymore 
(you may see a pattern emerge here)
Day 98 on my 33-T. I was aiming for 100 days before the first wash, but the submission deadline for the next check if of the Redline Rally is coming up and I wanted to get in a wash before that
Pre wash:
I went with my usual approach. 50C hand wash followed by a 30c / 30 min / no spin machine cycle. I have literally never seen a garment lose so much indigo on first soak or wash.. absolutely crazy...
Luckily the weather was nice today, and I was able to hang it to dry on the balcony and wear it again in the afternoon. I love how its evolved, and how the wash has brought out the highlights that were starting to show
The hot hand wash has brought the shirt in exactly as I had hoped. It was a bit baggy on me before but feels absolutely perfect now.
Received my UES Tricotine this morning, which I bought directly from Japan via Buyee.
Gambled on a size 3, and I'm quite happy with the fit. The shoulders are the narrowest I can still comfortably wear, but any smaller would be too small. The size jumps seem quite big, so I think a 4 would definitely have been too big. I didn't end up saving a lot between buyer fees and duties, so not sure it was worth the trade-off. I could just as well have waited for a EU based retailer to stock it and would have had the security to be able to return it if the size was off.
"Unfortunately" I am working on a IHSH-33-T for the redline Rallye so it'll be a while before this will get it's due
Dang, theres some stiff competition here. Great to see those wonderful pieces coming to life
Even though i've work my 33-T every day in February, its only slowly starting to show some progress. Probably because it was cold AF, I was mostly working from the home office and so I did not get up to much. The arm creases are rock solid though, and in a few weeks they will look spectacular
Still no wash, though I think the time is slowly approaching. It's also getting harder to stick with wearing it every day, and ignoring all the awesome flannels I have languishing in the wardrobe. But I know I will have to wear it much less in the summer heat, so I want to get as many days in as possible.
61 days if my count is right.
Let's go! This arrived from IH Germany a few days ago, just before Christmas, with a lovely note and some chocolate. Thanks @Axel-HH for the great customer service. With a toddler in the house, I expect I'll have to wash it more frequently than ideal for those prizes fades, but I really only signed up for kicks, and without expectations, except that I want to try and use this as an opportunity to slow down on getting new stuff. But the thought of wearing the same shirt for all, or at least most of a whole year is somehow more intimidating than wearing the same jeans day in day out.
I had this pendant made by a local goldsmith. Its a Roman denarii from ca. 180 a.d., struck with the face of emperor Marcus Aurelius on the front and an altar, eagle and the inscription CONSECRATIO on the reverse.
I've worn the 33-T every day in January except one, where I was sick as a dog and couldnt get myself to wear anything but sweats. Arm creases are settling in, but the only noteworthy place is the left inside cuff, where it probably rubs against the watch I usually wear.
Surprisingly, I managed to keep it clean enough that I didnt have to give it a wash yet, despite the best efforts of my one year old to the contrary...
Just arrived. My first UHF. Love the fit and feel, but especially the pearl snaps
New Years tends to be one of the less enjoyable days as a dog owner in Berlin. Usually we try to get away from it all but it didn't pan out this year, so I spent the night comforting our dog, most of the time on the bathroom floor as it's the only room two walls removed from the nearest window and so the quietest. I had a wee tipple of this rum though. Independent bottling of DDL juice. Distilled on the Port Mourant still, one of the two last remaining wooden stills in the world (both residing at DDL). 100% pot still, no added sugar, 10 years continental aged. And a hefty 58%abv.
@northsouthdenimguy you are so right on the money with this.. its infuriating how bad autocorrect has become. It used to work quite well until maybe a year ago. Until they forced AI into it and its utter shite now.
Part of my job involves writing code. Modern code editors have had suggestion features for ages, based on the functions available to the thing I am editing. Say I want to perform some operation on a piece of text, the editor would suggest me a function called toUpperCase. You apply the suggestion by hitting the tab key, and then the text gets converted to upper case. Simple. It would suggest something different if I wanted to do something to a number because it makes no sense to uppercase a number..
but now they have added useless AI autocomplete on top of that. So the editor suggests some function that actually exists (because it knows what functions are available), I hit tab, and the the AI takes over and autocompletes some random nonsense that I didn't see suggested before, makes no sense for what I am trying to achieve and I have to delete manually, actively slowing me down instead of being of any kind of use to me.
Its an exercise in frustration.
@goosehd to paraphrase: worlds richest man wants to make money obsolete... yea, somehow I don't buy that.
i have the 189-BRN (the Unducked) and now the tricotine. I think the Untucked serves a totally different purpose, definitely more of an overshirt / cpo with the pockets, as well as the denim fabric. the tricotine is more of a flannel on steroids. Not as soft as flannel but how i would wear it.
I think they can both co-exist in the same wardrobe. At least that is what I am counting on, because the Untucked Indigo is a must buy for me.
Hmm, I have a 10x watchmakers loupe..pretty fun!
Hazzard a guess what that is?
Just got the email from Red cast that their stock is online. All sizes available
