WAHSER!

Met up with my No Numbers homeboys to get crack-a-lacking on the project and it seems we've got some cool stuff coming.  At least that's the plan.  Now to execute.

Here are some shots of my buddy Ryan in his Somets from B.I.G.S.H.  Low-rise crispy goodness at its best.

And here's my fit pic.  Not much in terms of wear, as you can see.

Shout to my naggers at GDFHT!  Thanks for a fun night eating and catching up!

KEEP IT SIMPLY BLACK

What's good y'all.  Not much to update in terms of the denimz, but I'll probably take a pic and post it at the 1-month mark, just to have a record of its evolution.  That'll be in about 4 days or so be on the lookout for that.  

The shop threw an always pc-friendly "holiday" bash that coincided with our heavily overshadowed five year anniversary.  If only times were better, a truly monumental party could have been had.  But I guess even being around at this time is something to mildly celebrate.  Here are some shots from the shindig.

Ah.  Nothing like alcohol and poinsettias to set the mood.

A little game of s-k-a-t-e as the night closes out.

I'm also anxiously waiting on the leather wallet/tether/belt loop Nicholas (Hollows Leather) put together for me the last week or so.  Mine is the one that is called "simple black set" on his flickr account.  He was super quick, super nice & had some good prices.  I can't wait.  I asked for a card-holder slim wallet, since I charge with credit card most of the time & only rarely carry bills on me.  I didn't want it too thick or too ornate for the sake of simplicity and also so my pocket isn't bulging out two inches wherever go.  I guess I could've enjoyed it better if it came in natural & I could evo it over time, but my BSPs are very willing to share indigo with whatever they touch, and black is beautiful.  Tether came along for the ride, and the simple belt loop got thrown in for good measure.

I'll get my own pics up when I've got the goods.

Slub-a-Dub-Dub!

I've worn my BSPs (not every single day) for about 13 days now, and here's an update on how they're doing.  

I took a pic of their hairy goodness with sunlight seeping in through the window.  Notice the indigo-colored thread used for the arcuates.  They'll look nice once the denim starts to fade.

Here's the denim laid out in natural light.  You can see where they've stretched and where the combs/whiskers have start to set.

Orange Selvedge!  I got them hemmed/chain-stitched at The Stronghold in Venice last week.  I took off about 3 inches, and the Union Special chain-stitch machine worked its magic in under 15 minutes.

Some belt evo.  This hefty belt from Tanner was natural before I oiled it with mink oil and let it age.  Oh, and I got a little thinner in the process, hence the belt notch moving.
