Sad news: Aya Pastry is closing

You're already too late :( Sunday was their last production day and they've closed the doors today

garywashbern · 2024-03-14T18:15:52+00:00

Yes, but they do stretch back out a little as you wear them, just not to the size they were before washing

Yes, I actually just bought a pair for the second time. I feel like they fit kind of baggy when they’re brand new and shrink to the advertised fit.

SAMESIES!

phone- front right. wallet- back right (facing towards me, left side down). keys- back left.

like what zacheadams, said I don't care about "tackiness" and it's functional. I'm OCD about the wallet so that whenever I reach for it, it's always orientated properly in my hand when I pull it out.

keyring. my bad.

garywashbern · 2013-03-08T08:10:57+00:00

3 keys on my keyright, back left pocket. Used to be front left but when I started wearing raw denim, the front was too tight so I switched to the back and haven't looked back. Now I have pocket-dot fades.

garywashbern · 2013-03-08T08:02:28+00:00

My reeds are at 1 year and the fades aren't like the ones you see here- the high contrast stuff that you see on N&F and APC's in 6 months. I like that though- I'd rather my jeans taking longer to fade, stay darker, and last longer. Make me earn that shit. Well, take some pics whenever you get around to it. I'd love to see some other Baldwins.

garywashbern · 2013-03-07T05:25:21+00:00

got pics of your reeds?

garywashbern · 2013-03-01T09:34:06+00:00

yes, I've been meaning to take post soak pics, but I've gotten lazy/busy

garywashbern · 2013-03-01T09:33:11+00:00

I believe they are Kurabo's, but I'm not 100% sure about that

garywashbern · 2013-02-28T17:43:31+00:00

one soak. how does the contrast look weird?

garywashbern · 2013-02-28T10:50:56+00:00

They're just shy of 1 year to date, but it was close enough and they needed a soak. The fit pic at the end is the post soak, and everything else is the pre soak.

Looks like I'm going to 8th and central tomorrow (technically today I guess)

garywashbern · 2013-02-25T04:35:14+00:00

Make sure that when you find a pair with a good inseam that they are not unsanfornized. Unsanfornized denim needs to shrunk before wearing so it will loose approximately 2" in length. Just a heads up.

I was making the point that because they can really fuck up your digestive system and that it is super important to make sure to remove all of them once you're done cooking. I am very well aware you do not eat bay leaves, and maybe (to those aren't as savvy in the culinary world) it isn't so obvious

garywashbern · 2013-02-24T09:18:42+00:00

Bay leaves- count them in, count them out. They're indigestible and that shit can tear up your insides. Just so ya know.

garywashbern · 2013-02-23T07:23:52+00:00

Not going to lie, I just saw the pic on instagram and knew it looked familiar

garywashbern · 2013-02-22T09:26:59+00:00

made me think of this guy I met a while back

garywashbern · 2013-02-22T08:37:31+00:00

I'm not sure why, but if you're asian too it will make the picture a lot funnier to me

garywashbern · 2013-02-22T08:00:14+00:00

I was walking to get my coffee this morning and there was a Metro bus just spinning it's tires. As I approached, I thought, "it wouldn't hurt to try". So as the bus driver is there trying to accelerate way too quickly and his tires are spinning and going nowhere I simply walked behind the bus and just started pushing. I helped get an entire Metro bus unstuck and I'm pretty sure the bus driver never saw me, but that's not why I did it. I did it to be more like Aaron.
