Popped by IH Gosport to pick-up a pair 19oz lefties and a new Type 3.. Couldn't resist the jacket, great colour. Breaking in gently, worn a handful of times since.

Moonlighting with a pair of RGTs 15.25oz indigo selvedge denim.. oh, and a pair of DMs.

Posted these under another thread about jackets, thought best to park them here too.. 10 year old 21oz 555s. Had some repairs, new pockets, turn-ups and needing some attention to the crotch area.

@Oaktavia

Here you go. They're 10years old, had some repairs over the years.. a London tailor made good the blown pockets and turn-ups. Now the crotch area is looking rather forlorn.. will send them to IH for repairs.. quite possibly the last repairs before they go to Denim heaven.

Thinking about getting the RW 9014 Beckman boot, black.  Anybody have them?  Thoughts, especially vs. Iron Ranger?

I have 2 pairs of Beckmans, black and tan. Recently had both resoled via Brentford Cobblers. Very good boot highly recommended.

My boots ready for me..

@Oaktavia

Took me a whole 10years to make my way to Gosport!! Ever since buying a pair of 21oz 555 from Rivet & Hide I decided my next pair will be bought directly from IH..

Nice seeing the guys and the vast stock! And fish 'n' chip lunch by the ferry jetty..

BTW, the ole 555s are due for some TLC.. will post some photos as they look fantastic!

Only worn twice circa 16hrs total. Photo taken after the first 8hrs of wear. They are already taking a shape.. loving them..

@Fades-for-future

Thanks, the jeans are so comfortable, breaking in process compared to my 21oz is a "walk in the park". Don't know whether this is due to the lighter weight or the weave.

Frydays, short walk from IH. Watched the Isle of Wight ferries coming and going. The seagulls keeping a beady eye on the chance of grabbing some leftovers..
