Thanks. Just doing my best @heebalabala homage. It's a Pendleton.

Well done.

Nice shine box!

How about now? He's got a very dark olive (I think 15oz) that looks terrific.

Fraid still haven't gotten them in the rotation. Completely forgot lol. Think I got distracted by some other new pants around that time.

Honestly, I'd go for it thiugh. The only potential issue is the long wait times which have possibly gotten better since I ordered from them.

Anyone know if the freenote denim jackets are sanforized or not?

I’ve never seen an unsanforized denim jacket from an American brand, only Japanese. I doubt Freenote sells them.

Crossposted from the western boot thread in CM, picked these up from Heritage over weekend. For those of you looking for well-made boots, whether classic designs or those inspired by vintage western boots (which used to sport some pretty flamboyant designs), this is a place you’ve got to check out.

They're pretty responsive via e-mail or Instagram. Def recommend asking them directly.

In my experience all their denim is sanforized.

Had to take this out of my head. Was mostly thinking about RGT and how it screams "denim basic *****" to me, while still being respectable.

I love that you did that. My take would definitely swap Mister Freedom and Black Sign, as well as Warehouse & Brycelands. Naked and Famous is simultaneously very basic for the core products but extremely unusual for fabric choices and seasonal collections.

On second thought, you might be right about Warehouse/Brycelands!

Re: MF vs Black Sign, I can't get past the ridiculous breeches and equestrian boots of Black Sign. While most of the line is often more understated than MF, items draw from a period usually further back in history and make the fit look more anachronistic. Idk.

Fair point about Black Sign. It’s heritage menswear for horse girls.

Is there a raw denim BST thread. If not, wonder why?
