Yeah, a bit, not as much as I was expecting, but each and every purchase I'm chuffed with, rather than just spending for the sake of spending

id send them jeans back and size down if they have the size below mirror man and wear them loads from new and then when they dutty just dry clean them…if they havent got the size below then wash them as hot as you can and hope they shrink a full size.

yeah noble they only had two sizes down, don't think i could manage that Laughing out loud annoying being a fat cunt sometimes. gonna go and give them a proper hot soak i think. would it be best in this case to actually wear them in the bath or to just soak them separately then wear them when they're still wet?

Think those jeans are fine.
Pointless trying to judge the fit of raw jeans immiediately as they'll stretch a bit and settle in the leg.
Also got to remember the difference the angle of the photo makes, in real life you'd be looking down at them which would make them look pretty different, looks like the camera was pretty low down for this photo.

From that distance you'll probably be better off in Macro mode (probably has a flower symbol on your camera)

a couple of bits that turned up today

MHI knitted hoody, fantastic quality and reminds me of the head porter versions which the hideout had, but that i couldn't justify spending the cash on - this was a bargain £22


A bit of a grail for me, i've wanted this tee all year, non of the resellers got it in my size or in this colour, i missed it on various other forums, when hideout got it in i didn't fancy paying the ridiculous £80 they wanted, so the search is over….

Cheap pick-ups from town:
Uniqlo gingham shirt:
Detail shot:

H&M parka:
This was down to £10 and I thought it was a nice jacket for this weather, very lightweight but should keep me dry. Needs the various cords etc adjusting to improvve the fit when I have a minute.
