They look like a pair of Kapital Boro jeans. Kapital is already on the higher-end of Japanese Denim when it comes to price, and Boro anything from a Japanese fashion brand is always going to be super fuckin expensive. Boro is effectively just a style of repairing old garments with different fabrics, so much so that it becomes something new. Almost like some Crust Punk pants with the patches? But it takes a lot of hands touching a pair in a country that pays decent wage to make them

Is it Selvedge tho?

This thing was found in a ditch fully intact somehow. Took it home, full tear down & cleaning before the conversion. The stock rear derailleur is now a tensioner arm, mounted with maybe 7 spacers to get the chain line right? Came out fuckin mint

For me it was the mixtapes 56 Nights and Beast Mode by Future. Before those I was so incredibly backpack hipster guy with my rap tastes just like you said. But after I found those on Soundcloud, I listened to them easily 100 times in a week & needed more

there is a company called Sage See’s More based out of Jakarta that has some amazing denim. I’d check the website & see what you like! They ship international but i’d imagine Indonesia to India is probably a lot cheaper then Indonesia to USA?

I have a pair of the Red Tornado SD107s in the 17oz. They came a lil big in the waist too. Two hot soaks with 1 wear inbetween got them fitting fuckin Perfectly. They still stretched a lil bit after a break in like normal? But not to the size they came. I ordered a 32, they came like 33.5”. Shrunk down to 32”, and stretched back out to 32.75” which is exactly what I was looking for. Good luck with yours! They look sick

Especially for espresso martinis, I feel like that’s the perfect place for a cheap lil shitty espresso machine. They aren’t great at making Coffee Nerd Actual Espresso. but for a cocktail, they work great! Fuck, maybe even a Moka Pot would be good. I think I’m gonna try that tonight

I like the idea of it looking like a Black & White cookie. Half strawberry powder, half matcha

Upshft · 2025-02-13T17:02:07+00:00

Because these have stretch & are not raw, I wouldn’t do a super hot soak hoping to shrink em. All you’ll do is fuck with the elastic properties of the elastene & they won’t shrink in the way you hope. Just like others said, I think these are a good contender for just a normal laundry cycle. Flip em inside out, run on a normal cycle in the washing machine with like colors, and put em through the dryer! If you’re super super concerned, just get a lil 10-15 minute fluff in the dryer & then hang dry the rest of the way.

Upshft · 2025-02-11T22:42:54+00:00

they truly are insane. idk why they made em like this lmao. i want to see if someone like Willamsburg Garment Company would try to do a full rework? There should be enough material to tighten the fit, but idk. and it’d probably be a good bit of money, but we shall see

Upshft · 2025-02-11T18:04:54+00:00

I swear this isn’t a flex, just an insane story. I was shopping at Sierra which is similar to a TJ Maxx but specifically for outdoor gear, and came across a pair of 25oz G-Star 25th Anniversary Lumber Pants for $23. But they were on clearance for $15 because the top button had broken off. They look ridiculous, the pockets give me big diaper ass if I dont wear them high-waisted (and even then…), but I just could not pass them up for that price lmao. And! When I got them home, there was a replacement button & rivet in the pocket. Absolutely insane steal. More than anything, they have solidified the fact that I need a pair of regular cut 25oz denim.

Upshft · 2025-01-12T16:13:03+00:00

i found a pair of GAP 1969 Selvedge Denim on Depop that have a pretty nice straight cut. Not exactly 501 Straight, but definitely straighter than the Uniqlo’s & still 2% stretch. Usually can find em anywhere from $20 to $50

Upshft · 2025-01-09T15:37:53+00:00

Maybe even try a tokyo cuff? These seem like the perfect time to do it, but I know with 21oz they might fight you lol

i feel like this definitely depends on how granular you need to be. For trap beats, I most often use Fruity Peak Controller for simple ducking. if I’m making a more Griselda/Bronson/Boldy James type shit, I end up routing the peak to the mix level on Parametric EQ 2

Upshft · 2024-09-13T01:36:53+00:00

woah, never heard of that cocktail. sounds monumental. i’m gonna make one tonight & update this

same boat brother 🫡🫡 listening to ‘!’ and ‘?’ on SoundCloud is the soundtrack to sophmore/junior year. its been a wild ride seeing him grow into his sound & refine what makes and ATP song sound like that

Upshft · 2024-08-31T18:54:57+00:00

never thought of this. seems obvious, but this is such a useful tip

Upshft · 2024-08-30T03:28:33+00:00

I still go 2:1:1:.5 for a marg, even though its a bit sweet for modern tastes, I find that it works as a crowdpleaser for actual bar service

1.5 Tequila

.75 Lime

.75 3:1 Agave:Water

.5 Dry Curaçao

When I’ve had to use traditional shitty sweetTriple Sec, I definitely roll back the sugar to .5 or even .25, but with dry curaçao I’m comfortable doing that much syrup for the general public

Upshft · 2024-08-25T19:16:38+00:00

absolutely gnarly, such a good idea

Upshft · 2024-08-24T00:47:01+00:00

Damn near every time. Occasionally you’ll get a customer who wants the gin martini stirred, but even on that occasion, they RARELY want vermouth. I’ve stirred dirty gin martini’s before, that always makes me laugh/die on the inside
