      I'm working my way towards that slowly. I'm buying a few pieces of thicker, well-made clothing and doing all the repairs with the same red thread so that eventually I'll have an internally consistent set. It started when I poorly reattached the strap of a canvas bag with red thread in college and loved the look of it. I have really intense color fixations so it's soothing for me.

      There's a advertainment YouTube channel for a denim brand that posts "reviews" of worn out garments that their customers send back in (for a discount on a new one), and there's always kinda neat stuff that wears into people's clothes - like a musician who has more wear on the left shoulder and collar of a jacket from an instrument strap

          Naked and Famous - here's that jacket video. I generally like their pants, especially when they're a bit less expensive than some of the more interesting brands.

          I really like Denim

          I remember - you posted about that TCB coat however long ago! Hope you're getting lots of wear out of it. I'm wearing one of their aprons right now - taking a quick break from painting some miniatures lol

            Ope yeah that's me! I love it. I should have gotten a size down but overall it's a good fit. I replaced the button stays with some of my favorite pins and now I have a trove of treasures/accessories.

            It's very light and great for me because I work as a teacher and always have lots of things to stick in my pockets.
