As much as it breaks my heart to say, Breanna has left and it remains to be seen whether or not she comes back.
I hope that she does. Please, if you can, hope for me, too.
That being said, this blog will be on an indefinite hiatus.
I will be continuing my own progress on The Weft Coast.
Goodbye for now.
Coulda sworn I posted this twenty minutes ago, but it posted the Railcar updates with the 3sixteen tags instead.
Whatevs.
Anyway, figured three months is a reasonable amount of time before they needed to be washed. I’m not the type to go years without washing. That just doesn’t seem right.
Pre:
Post (after a couple of days):
Jeans were washed with cold water on a delicate cycle then hung to dry. The denim came out crunchier than they were when they were new and stretched back out within a couple days. They’re still too tight, though, but April 1st is fast approaching so these will be retired.
After we went to Inspiration, we headed over to American Rag because they were having a sale.
In fact, we went two days in a row (and didn’t mind the 1.5 hour drive).
Day 1 (including stuff from Inspiration):
Breanna snatched the following:
Vintage swim trunks at Inspiration
LVC wool sweater
Levi’s Made and Crafted shirt
LVC belt
LVC selvedge shorts
Made and Crafted pants
I picked up :
2x Raleigh Nash (one rinse, one raw)
Rogue Territory chambray work pants (which are amazing)
Harley Davidson Book of Fashions signed by Mr. Rin Tanaka himself
Cabbie hat handmade out of 1950s fabric
We also ran into Steven and the gang from Railcar so naturally we had to get some tees to rep them.
Day 2:
Breanna ended up getting more of those Made and Crafted jeans since the first pair didn’t fit her. She also picked up a pre-distressed pair “to run errands in”.
We traded some old clothes at Buffalo Exchange down the street. The vintage Thunder tee, Crooks and Castles heavy wool sweat pants, and the Vintage Shoe Co. boots were all had for great prices.
I ended up with another pair of Raleigh Nash (they were 90% off…but don’t fit), three pairs of Dockers D-1 chinos (one pair is selvedge), and a pair of 1920s LVC chinos (for $20!) because Breanna loves them so much. One of these days there will be a post on them.
Also, we ran to Mister Freedom after Buffalo so I could grab another denim bag. We ended up running into none other than Mr. Cory Piehowicz, the man behind one of my favorite blogs. Check him out at Bandit Photographer.
Michael Harris (author of “Jeans of the Old West” and his wife were also there but were busy in conversation.
***This may or may not be the last update on her project. It remains to be seen whether or not we will continue this blog together. Hope for the best…***
