Normally all my other LVC, momotaro, pbj, nudies, Lee or standard Levi’s I wear waist 32. But LVC 1947 runs small so size up atleast one,I got waist 33 and still fits snug at the waist
-
Here a few pics of my LVC 1947 fitting more on the relaxed side of things as I lost a bit of weight. Back to the gym now so should slowly start to fit the way they did when I first got them . Used to fit more snug all around 1947 is my favourite cut from LVC line I also have 1966 cone denim but the 66 the front pockets are too shallow imo. But prefer the width of the leg opening on 66 but 47 for me is better all around. I also like the fact LVC 501 fade slow I’m not one for super high contrast fades. Although one of my Edwin’s has ended looking that way.

I know this feeling all too well. Inernet wasn't a thing when the Osaka5 released their early stuff. And even if it would have, it would be gone anyway. So you need old magazines. Also many of the old Japanese blogs are deleted making it harder to get info. And I have the feeling the brands weren't as transparent back then. Nowaydays you get much more info about the denim and the design. So once "we" are gone and don't care anymore, who will?
-
@Graytrain I’ll keep you in mind. I think they’re on the smaller end for their tag size, and are tagged 32 or 33 (I’m sure I’ve posted better info somewhere or other…)

Kinda. I noticed a few customers trying on multiple pairs and purchasing those, along with significantly different sizes. The sales associates' reactions seemed slightly off, which was weird. Since I don't speak Japanese, I relied on reading their body language. I mean, these customers could be buying for friends, so it's still a sale. I'm just not sure why they seemed to care. But yeah, WH and FC were the only two stores where I picked up on these vibes. They were still happy to sell me stuff, though, and I was satisfied with my purchases. Still like both companies though.

Also @julian-wolf, if you ever feel like helping those hair-on-hides, that you have squirreled away, find a loving home, please let me know.

I've never been a leepro guy, but as I age, I get more down with my inner cowboy. I don't know when these will get washed, as I have so many in rotation now, but it will happen.

Thanks @chicote! I have never seen myself as a collector. Wholly a wearer. And for most of my denim career (nearing 20 years...) I've been dedicated to a pair at a time. Channelling my inner Ryu "Using chain stitch, your train of jeans is fading wind." But the chase of the grail that captures a specific fit, detail and character has made me really fall in love with the history of repros and particularly the Osaka 5. I realized through that, that there is very little info out there save whats in this forum, that its all going to become lost information at some point, and the only way to experience the older historical repros is to source it and see it first hand. And by total happenstance, I have become a collector...
-
@Graytrain you are on your way to becoming a legendary collector of early Japanese repro denim! i really admire your taste and persistence in acquiring such rare & old pieces.

Vintage trucker cap Vintage University of Akron tee Eddie Bauer, hemmed to shorts éS Pictures don't do it justice but the silver ink on this tee looks great in the sun.

amazing Leepro ...

^ Good buy, my pair have been some of my all-time favorites for the past few months

Been searching a long time for this one: Evis era bull patch S506xx (1506). From comparison with other era pairs of jeans, it looks like No.2 denim. Lovely boxy, short silhouette. And slightly different than the norm, zinc-y laurel buttons. Don't think I can save this interesting construction tidbits: Single stitch cuff:
-
Do you mean that they would have denied your purchase at the FC store? They seemed pretty enthusiastic about selling me stuff when I was there, although I only purchased a thermal top.

Super legit guy and very courteous big bump!
-
I hope so too, but my experience in Tokyo was that FC was more cutthroat than WH when it came to purchasing. Had I bought multiple pairs of FC, especially in different sizes, I'd imagine I would have been denied. WH had the same feeling.

SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
JDelage replied to minya's topic in superdenim
I love 2 & 3 but the patch pockets on pants can be a PITA. Things tend to fall out when you sit down, etc. Those small hip pockets / too pockets are great for pocket knives, if that's your thing. What brand are those? -
WTS: J57TS-SS XS worn but no wear aside from some trace pilling, full pack $275 net https://imgur.com/a/Om8Jfbw

Nice fit on those b_F, leg break looks really good with no cuffs. I'd wear my jeans uncuffed if I could get them to look that good, hah.
