Uhhhh....you can't leave us hanging like that. There has to be a story.

@IRKSM can ask what that black cardigan is? Everlane?

Oops forgot the label - it's RRL, my size and N/A

@IRKSM yep looks like a 501 from here - lol repairs but maybe care stamp is still on the inside pocket? i'd guess a smaller size otherwise it'd have another button.

Anyone know what this is? The care tag is all in Japanese- but it's nice Indigo dyed with smoked mother of pearl buttons so I copped

Not sure on the maker, but the LL size would have been made for the Japanese market.

Haven't posted in a bit but today went pretty well and I thought I should share.

Would appreciate insight on the big E selvage

I'm not well-versed with vintage Levi's, but is there a stamp on the back of the top button? I think that number stamped onto the back of the button has some significance.

Yeah it's a 2?

Overheard it was a movie prop... not as exciting as it could have been, but still weird to see.

One decent find today. Older Alden longwings model 97788. Need a little time in trees and saphir love and care.

I assume Barrie last?

the first stamps were 2, 4, 8, etc single digit. looks good.

care stamp washes out, yours looked pretty dark. cool soft fade.

Perfect guest bed

 

[Canyon]

That's an amazing idea!

Anyone know what maker writes inside their shoes like this? Probably should've taken a pic of the entire shoe but live and learn I guess.

 

[mainy]

Can confirm, still alive and a thrivin'. Thanks for the thoughts, warm fuzzies all round. Would post more photos, but barely have enough time to go find the gemz, much less share them on the internet. Will post some interesting odds and ends tomorrow - the wheat, the chaff, who's to say which is which? I think this is where the struggle both begins, and ends... If we had editors, we wouldn't have this thread - but we would have more free time, and perhaps better content? Is this why forums died in favor of the blog? The mysteries of life, to be continued.

Those are Church's with a replacement insole, if my eyes do not deceive me. Those are Cowes, which would make them a lovely double monkstrap. Sexy pair of shoes

Welcome back mainy, dropping knowledge too!
