Honestly a frog brooch pinned to be half way peaking out of a pocket on some jeans is absolutely a thing you can do.

Or you could put flower or leaf brooches on your jeans so they look like fancy designer embroidered jeans except instead of costing a billion dollars to get it is just a pair of jeans you already had and some second hand brooches you can reuse on other outfits and share with your partner.

    Credit where credit is due, I went through your moderation history and you are correct and I apologize. Furthermore I think a bunch of the other stuff that got deleted is actually pretty cool too. I really wish you would stop effectively suppressing trans and progressive votes. I know your heart is in the right place (and same for TRAHR, the OP) but at the end of the day when fascists disenfranchise trans people (gerrymandering, ID troubles, mail in suppression, etc.) and when you tell trans people not to vote the result is still the same: trans people have less of a voice and worse fascists getting more power with less pushback.

    I realized that my two favorite pairs of thrifted corduroy pants (different manufacturers, one O'Connell's and the other Orvis) were both made with Brisbane-Moss cloth and when I looked them up lo and behold they had data sheets on their website to look through!

    Here is the datasheet for their ultra heavy weight corduroy which is so beefy it out weighs most japanese selvedge denim! The warp to weft ratio is absolutely bonkers. https://www.brisbanemoss.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/GS20-2024.pdf

    I personally like side entry pockets best, the top entry pockets of jeans are not always as deep as I like. Summer is a rough time for pocket space in general; in the colder months I can wear hunting vests and cargo pants.

    Well summer is over now and now that we are putting our shorts away in the bottoms of our closets for the next 6 months I think now is a good time to reflect on what shorts we liked and what we didn't and what makes a pair of shorts truly great.

    Pic related because one of my favorite shorts this summer was a pair of bright red second hand ocean pacific corduroy shorts. I liked how soft they were and how the short inseam let me show off my legs.

    I don't blame you. They are monsters. There is a reason the typewriter shop near me runs an apprenticeship to learn how to fix them. Takes years to learn. They charge north of a grand for a single selectric restoration

    I agree with you! To quote myself from another, now deleted thread:

    You gotta get the pro-trans candidate in the primary. If you wait to look up if your candidates are anti-trans until right before the general then you waited too fucking long.

    Waiting until after the primary to realize that both candidates are anti-trans is like waiting until your house is already on fire to consider if you should buy fire extinguishers. Voting for the shitty Democrat is painful but letting the even shittier Republican who also hates immigrants too win is like adding gas so that your neighbor's house will burn too.

    Fall is here and with it comes the return of the king of knits! Versatile, adjustable, warm, repairable, and with that collar really taking it over the edge. Post about your favorite shawl collar cardigans and all the years of love you have put into them or just share in my confusion about why other collar types exist for cardigans
