Apologies for the double photo post, but figured I would follow up here. I’m not really one for reviews, especially on a brand new pair - but since there aren’t any other impressions here I’ll note a few. First - this was the first time I did two washes before wearing. First one was a steaming, and agitated (eh, @Double 0 Soul) soak for about an hour, then chucked them in the warm wash and pulled them before the spin cycle. They dried up nice and crispy but still had some room in the waist, which was fine - I did buy what I thought would be a size up, and that seemed pretty true. But, I wanted to see if I could maybe get anything else out so I did a hot aggressive wash (pulled before spin again), and the waist did tighten up a bit more. They’re still an oversized pair on me, belt needed, but again that’s what I went for. I’ve mostly avoided marbling - the rough plan for these is not to let them hit water again for a good long while, esp as they will only be worn sporadically. Conclusion on sizing and fit is that they’re just about in line with the sugar canes and Freewheelers of the world. Compared to the WMJ I’m used to right now this denim is more substantial - which makes sense as it’s listed as closer to 15 oz washed. I actually kinda like the arcs, though I’m not sure I would if they were stitched. The pockets give the impression of being slightly on the narrower side, esp the coin pocket. Back pockets too, but still hold a wallet fine. I forget what I hemmed them to - I think 33” pre soak, but it should have been more. Ah well. There’s a sort of black enamel coating on the laurel wreath fly buttons which is a bit unique, curious to see how that ages over time. Chainstitch runoff at the waist is a nice touch - no other crazy run offs or dangly strings, everything else is pretty proper and clean more like Freewheelers I’d say. Maybe I’ll get some time for more detail photos later but in general, I approve! -
Junky seems to have the current jeans line up of Wrangler Archives minus the jackets https://wrangler-jeans.jp/features/archives_pc.html (also note the Edwin Co., Ltd copyright at the bottom of the page). I think the consensus at least with the Lee stuff is that it's a good repro? Better job than say LVC does with Levi's. I think they did a 1948 prototype model repro at some point as well as the 50s stuff, but might have to look second hand for those. -
