3sixteens – 13 Months In

#WhatI’vehadonforthepastyear Gave these a wash while back in Nashville over Thanksgiving. Gentle cycle, a touch of Bronner’s. Hang dried until damp then wore them the rest of the way to dry. They’re my go-to, continue to fade so nicely and have a ton more wear left in ‘em. Stay tuned.

Baldwin 77′s | 1 Month In

Since early September they’ve been my go-to pants. I know a few commenters voiced concern about bias in other posts about the 77, [...]

Emil’s Studio D’Artisan 25th Anniversary Jeans

After almost 5 months of wearing my Ooe Yofukutens nearly every day, I washed them at the laundromat and they shrunk to a point that made them uncomfortably tight. Ugh. So, I decided to retire them and I went back to a rotation of some of my older pairs of jeans. The pictures here show [...]
