Nailed it

Just checking the mods are alert!!! 🤣

Does anyone know how the waist is on these? https://item.rakuten.co.jp/earthmarket/301wp/ I’ve looked at at a few different sites and the measurements have been inconsistent I’m currently a 31 waist so not sure if a 30 would be too tight, or if it’s a little oversized and I’ll be good

Those look so good. I love the bleached tab lol, wasn't expecting that.

If only a mod could move it 🫣

Is Bronson Japanese nowadays?

Some of you will think this is the most illegal thing to do but i think they turned out great. Long story short, i rarely ever wore these tcb 50s since they are too big and i have another pair of raw's that i'm fading. Since there are no light wash selvedge jeans i tought why not try with these since i dont use them. I tried 4 cups of bleach in a bathtub for 3h and it did absolutely nothing so i ended up pouring 2L of bleach in there and did that two times. Time will tell how much damage that did. But i will wear these more now.

Got a couple of Bronson bangers in the post today... actually nice they are too... however, what's going on with the rope bondage?!

Just picked up these chinos. Does anyone know which year these are from? I'm assuming they are older, since the recent ones mostly are lined in white cotton

Can we throw red tabs at it in case two of them stick 😉

I have the '43 tux... beautifully wonky it is too... makes a refreshing change from all that straight stitching that has saturated the market 😜 I've worn it down the local supermarket before and Mavis on checkout never batted an eyelid... but that may be because I stood ever so slightly on a slant to make it appear that the box pleats were straight... actually it's probably because there is only us 20 Sufu'ers who ruminate (in a good way :)) on these things While we're chatting... I was at my lad's football semi-final a few weeks ago wearing a FW wabash jacket. One of the parents said 'I'm a bit superstitious... you're not wearing your lucky denim jacket'... I asked him which one... and his response proved to me he thought I only had one and they were therefore all the same WTF 🤯. The sad ending to that story is the lads lost their first competitive game in 2 years that day 😭... the key message I took from it is that, irrespective of the model, all denim jackets can be lucky!! I'll put some '43 tux pics up soon so you can throw tomatoes at it

Denime - Levi's - Ooe - Duke - Nike

^Love the colourway on those Cons.

A few nice days of sun, now soggy. At least it cooled off enough for me to throw on a jacket. MF, Trophy, Nudie

@LazyS Interesting. It isn't critical that that stitch holds the inner part of the waistband so maybe they never cared about it in the first place. @CSL i agree that that such you've highlighted is the most glaringly obvious one and also agree that I'd be questioning it if i were buying that jacket in the 40s.

https://thesignetstore.com/collections/warehouse/products/mens-trousers-25th-anniversary-1950-model?variant=32353062256723 - a few sizes it seems

LazyS, Yes. It could be that. The only time I've seen a WW2 Levi jacket in person was at Inspiration. A fellow was wearing one & it looked superb. I engaged him in conversation about it. I didn't go over it with a fine tooth comb but it didn't look wonky at all.

Sold out everywhere. Believe me, I've looked! The 1001xx in banner denim is a core piece of Warehouse's collection, so I'm sure they'll release a new lot in the near future. Just not sure when.

CSL I was just wondering if the wonky deadstock examples were leftovers people didn't want @rbeck I have a 2 pairs of 1952 leepros and both have different sections of the waist band like that https://imgur.com/n0m4MLXhttps://imgur.com/n0m4MLX

Now those unlucky souls who missed out on this 80 years ago will have a second chance to buy, for a mere $500

Point taken, rbeck. The example you've shown definitely demonstrates some sloppy sewing. I guess it's this stitch line on the right side of the buttons that is my main head scratcher. I think to myself would someone actually buy that (speaking of back in the era it was made)? I guess there were situations where employers bought in bulk & handed out to their workers who would have had no say in the matter. That all being said, if SC will just admit it's a factory second, & slash the price, I'll buy one (wink).

One sample is hardly enough to base the whole era on. Regardless, the back pockets and hems are pretty sloppy. Plus baby jeans are probably easier to keep straight on since the seams aren't as long. Here's some war era lees that it looks like they botched the waistband topstitching. The back side of the waistband shows the needle missed the inner edge of the waistband (pic 4). I'd say that isn't on target. Most other seams look pretty okay, but the backstitching in some places looks just as sloppy as the SC levis repros (check the pocket bag picture where the coin pocket stitches are apparent) . https://denimarchieves.com/e/vintage_and_old_denim_bottoms/lee_101b_wwii_en.html Lees of that era would have been union made where I don't think Levis ever was union? I wonder if that had an effect too? If you're union you wouldn't feel the same pressure to churn out pairs of jeans no matter the quality that non-union workers would, so quality may have improved from that? Purely speculation here.

Hi Guys Anyone having info which online shop is having Warehouse 1001xx 13.5oz banner denim pair in stock?

That's the direction I went, Shredwin & I'm not disappointed although I will say I liked the fit of the TCB contest jeans better, and also the old LVC model.
