My only hope: as long as people are interested in the original (read vintage Levi's 501s) there will be a certain demand for repro jeans.

So ended up picking some of these up as they look like a wider / more accommodating fit than the original and actually Signet had them at a great price (plus I also panicked slightly at the FC pricing chat and the thought of my beloved Warehouse going the same way). Building on my reverence for the brand in owning an anniversary pair too. Awaiting their delivery now and crossed digits Fedex don't stiff me on import. I also picked up a pair of 1000XX 1946 DSB (critically, not 1001XX (1000XX)) - this was based almost entirely on assumptions on sizing, if anyone has any sizing info on these (at size 34) I would be very grateful - these aren't coming from the other side of the world though so returns / re-sell shouldn't be an issue if it's gone wrong. I'm essentially hunting for a slightly wider / looser version of what I already have, one in DSB and one in Banner, to cover all my favourite material needs.

SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)

Seconding b_Fs suggestions, I take a w38 in OA and w36 in all my Freewheelers jeans. And always buy from Hoosier. -
SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
beautiful_FrEaK replied to minya's topic in superdenim
Most will tell you to buy from Hoosier. Excellent service and everything will be covered. In terms of size: I wore a W34 in the FW1947 and wear a W36 in Ooe. The FW felt roomier so you will probably be happy with a W32 or a W33 to be safe. -
SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
efujobu1 replied to minya's topic in superdenim
Thinking about purchasing a pair of Freewheelers Vanishing West 1942 or 1944. What’s the general sizing advice? For the reference I wear a size 34 in OOE Yufuketen 0A01, 33 in TCB 50s. Also, which Japanese shop would you recommend? I’d also like to get them hemmed. Thanks in advance! -
I posted about the movie a while back. Austin is the new “it” actor coming up now.

They did ask me (politely) not to touch any of the jeans on the shelf until they could help me, so I think they possibly take their sales approach very seriously, lol.

I’m not sure how standard it would be as the position of male tits is a moobable feast
-
'Below-tit' should be a standard measurement in our denim related world 😅
-
It is. Being that I wear S506s exclusively, the chest pocket has become a habitual stashing location and "below-tit" is so much better esthetically and functionally.
-
@Graytrain love the central position of the single pocket, right in the centre of the wearer's left front panel. Perfect.
-
I’m completely with you here @Graytrain, the last jeans that I bought as a current release/production model was back in 2018 (LVC 1976). Since 2011, most pairs I’ve bought were deadstock/out of production pairs or have subsequently become that. I’m not interested in new releases, although I still see pairs I like, but part of that is due to the fact I have too many jeans anyway, so I try hard to resist any new purchases.

The community of people that care about repros will continue to dwindle to the point where there won't be a big enough market to justify making the clothing. And with it will die the entire story of how it all came to be. It's a bit heart breaking really. I hope someone is or will document the history of the Osaka 5 and the rise of Japanese denim. As for the stuff we get nowadays and why I'm less interested. I feel as though with social media came a feedback mechanism that took a bit of personality out of the garments. They feel "made for someone" instead of made for their own appreciation. In many ways this is amazing. We get items that couldn't exist before and justified a market for very niche products. But before that, the world was smaller. The older repros might not have CSF-level attention to detail, but they have a spirit to them that speaks of individuals making something for themselves without caring to make others happy. It's feels pure and true. They come imbued with something that makes them different than a blank canvas. And to me, wearing *that* feels worlds different than wearing a new release.

View Advert 7 (yes seven!) Samurai 'Plain' loopwheeled tee - size XL - Mishap batch bargain So I have seven of these white Samurai loopwheeled tees. One for each day of the week. They're my favourite white tee ever, and yeah I've tried all the usual recommendations. Made in Japan, good weight, nice soft hand and they wash really well. EXCEPT, when you accidentally wash them with a black tee... So here's the deal, they're VERY SLIGHTLY faded to a less white-white due to the above mishap. I replaced them, so I'm selling these ones at a bargain price. Here in the UK, these would cost you £560 to buy new. Other than the colour, they're in great condition. Fit fairly small for an XL, probably closer to a L. I'll ship them free to the UK, and have factored in additional costs to send elsewhere in the listing price. Can provide receipts if required.

Denim Blunders, Reflections and General Nonsense.
Dr_Heech replied to cmboland's topic in superdenim
Just seen an advert for a new movie called 'The Bike Riders' about a motorcycle gang back in the 1960s. I saw Tom Hardy in what looked to be a WW2 S506XX repro, also saw some vintage type 3's and a Lee 101J. Maybe worth a watch when it's released.? -
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. (edit been bath tub soaked twice before wearing minimal if any leg twist on this pair)
