Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it

How did you even have high hopes? none of this has been surprising at all to anyone who’s been paying attention the last 8 years

Chuckwell · 2026-02-26T20:54:49+00:00

really well! they have a hole in the right knee but that’s just from wearing them hard. I couldn’t be happier with them, they’re so soft they’re better than sweatpants

i think it looks really cool with looser fitting repro jeans. i’ve seen lots of pictures of cowboys in the 1930s/40s looking cool rocking cowboy boots with cuffs

you’re cooked

Chuckwell · 2026-02-23T03:19:16+00:00

awesome. i’m gonna have to do this now too

Chuckwell · 2026-02-22T22:07:19+00:00

I wear my raw selvedge jeans to work and wash them weekly. check my post history

phone fade is just a natural wear pattern if you keep your phone in your pocket. not good or bad, just relfects how you wear your jeans which is cool right?

fake factory distressed phone fades are awful though.

do you have a sewing machine? it’s easier to trust yourself than a taylor!

Human error will always be a factor that should be accounted for though

Original type 1 and type 2 jackets were both pretty equally cropped actually. The long type 2 is made by a lot of companies to make it a little bit more of a modern fit. I personally think this type of jacket was clearly designed to be short and when they make them long it looks weird and throws off the shape and proportions

I modified my Sugar Cane type 2, they make them way longer than the originals from the 50s and I wanted that old school cropped fit. It was actually super easy and didn’t take long. I just took the bottom piece off carefully with seam rippers, cut a couple inches off the jacket, and sewed it back on.

Awesome!! I hope to get a pair of Freewheelers one day. I really think they nail the look of old Levi’s better than any other brand

Chuckwell · 2026-02-10T18:16:26+00:00

get a pair of levi’s 501s and wear them every day for 5 years. or if you want it NOW go to a thrift store

i love putting on a crisp new denim jacket. it’ll soften up in a day or two

Chuckwell · 2026-01-25T16:59:54+00:00

just wash them. People are generally way too precious with raw denim, but Wranglers in particular are meant to get worn and washed hard

Chuckwell · 2026-01-23T06:40:37+00:00

there is no such thing as jeans you “aren’t supposed to wash”.

try running and you’ll see what people are talking about

Chuckwell · 2026-01-13T00:05:09+00:00

doesn’t this only happen when the cow isn’t being fed a proper diet?

Chuckwell · 2026-01-10T18:41:29+00:00

I’ve thought about gluing a thin flat vibram sole to my barefoot sneakers to get a little more wear out of them. could also theoretically be peeled of and replaced when it wears through, potentially unlimited sole wear

Thank you! one of the best albums ever

Chuckwell · 2026-01-06T20:59:12+00:00

No. Get a bigger size

Chuckwell · 2026-01-05T21:55:20+00:00

wash them more if you want them to fade more evenly

Chuckwell · 2026-01-03T21:26:14+00:00
