Someone drilling for hours next door. So decided to put on very loud music and iron a bunch of shirts.

Sad day at Weejun Towers. Sat down to lunch and my Lee Westerners split big time. The patch disintegrated years ago. Twelve years of almost daily service. Time to open a new pair from the stock.

Last iteration of the LVC 519 before they called them Californians and messed around with the fit.

Still a shame they made them with red tags instead of white. Was around this time that LVC lost the plot.

Found in the closet. It’s finally time for the changeover. Winter clothes and blankets into storage and summer shirts come out of hiding.

But I was pleasantly surprised to find this deadstock pair of the 60s super slim white label Levi’s - a back up pair for the ones I wore the other day.
Weird price tag so I must have bought them in the sale from Sweden.

I think the pennant dates them to the 2012 season but can’t be sure.

Shopping for ingredients for tomorrow’s guest lunch. More porcini but this time risotto with roast fennel on the side.

I love these rainy mornings with enough chill to dress up a bit.

Found these LVC 1962 model white jeans I’d forgotten about as there was a time when they didn’t fit me. Feels a bit like wearing jeggings but perfect match with Playtime chukkas.

Cornwall has mizzle. São Paulo has garoa Lisbon has - death slide. Five mins of misty rain followed by bright sun left the marble even more slippery than usual.

Even the playtimes struggled today.

Sero red flannel and cashmere blend MiE G9 from the old days. These used to sell in upmarket Italian mens stores for €350 a decade ago.

No filter needed it really is THAT red!

Details. Lee Japan The Archives Westerner 101Z fro

Details. Lee Japan The Archives Westerner 101Z from circa 2011. Perfect in every detail from correct US sizing, the correct number of belt loops and smaller back pockets spread wide across the hips to the Cambric lining inside the rear pockets that shrinks at a different rate and buckles the pockets.
Around 2015 or so Lee let Warehouse produce the vintage stuff and they messed around with both cloth and sizing for Japanese market.

Wish I’d have bought more but I still have four or five pairs in rotation and a spare pair of Westerweave Westercords.

There’s deadstock and then there’s deadstock from your own closet. I’ve had these super rare Lee Westerners in Olive Drab for at least a decade and never worn them.

Today is cloudy so seemed like a good idea to get them out and pair them with Hutton Playtime in grain.

Outside of my usual bailiwick today. Getting warm and humid on the walk to El Corte Ingles trying to find some staple Italian ingredients. But no such luck.
Still nice to be out taking breakfast at the cafe in Parque Amelia Rodrigues.
Wearing one of only two shirts I own that are not BDs!

And it’s raining again. But very warm this time.

And it’s raining again. But very warm this time. Dug out my Baracuta ‘Vintage’ made for Japan G9 which has more scalloped pockets and of course weird sizing. This is a 42. I have the same in navy and a backup stock in this tan that I got from @johnsimons1955 when he picked up all the leftovers from Baracuta before they sold it to the Italians. I have many 15 or so from the British time. Never bought one from the Italians. I have no problem with them owning it but for some reason they are obsessed with modeling their G9 on bad 80s market stall ‘Harringtons’.
Nevermind, I bought and hoarded a decade or so ago.

On another note these Uniqlo sweaters are always great for knockaround. Last few years they’ve been thicker and slightly larger too. This is from 2020 I think.

Bottom half trusty Lee five pockets from @oipolloi_of_cottonopolis many years ago. Hanging in there just about. And Hutton Playtime.
