Papa nui, RMC, Lee, dawson, vans. still layering around here

Dawson denim makes a wide fit women’s pair

Take a look here https://lenoandco.com/products/list.php?category_id=6

And some Vintage Justins. Obsessed. And another pair is on the way (last shot)

Vintage Chippewa with homemade bootstrap and some wide leg LEE jeans.

“Selection” is maybe the limiting criterion. Lots of brands seem to do one or two okay women’s cuts, these days, but no one seems to have more than a couple of options. Meanwhile, obviously all jeans are more or less gender agnostic in principle, but how well they work in practice depends completely on body type. Around how is your partner shaped? If they’re big in the hips and don’t fit well into standard men’s jeans, the TCB Norma could be a really good option; I’ve also seen curvier women friends make ‘90s Cane’s work well.

Made a new friend

I really dig that look...on others 😅 it would probably bug me as well on my pairs

@81FXR I think LVC are running the 701 at the moment: https://www.levi.com/US/en_US/levis-vintage-clothing/levis-vintage-clothing-for-women/1950s-701-womens-jeans/p/507010036 edit: actually, looking at the silhouette pictures of these, they don’t fit the bill - look very tapered which I wouldn’t expect from a 50s model (but I’m no expert on women’s fits).

Make a tote bag for the first time .lucky it look like one

My Kyotos in size 32 fit almost identically to Resolute 710 in 33. They are slightly lower rise and a little less tapered, though.

Yeah, your patch actually looks super cool! I probably should've applied some Obenaufs to the patch before I wash/dried it...

looks like my patch, but I used only 30 degrees wash and NO machine dry...

Damn, the patch on my 232 got absolutely toasted after the initial wash/machine dry.

That makes sense. I just looked at Bear's measurements for Resolute 710 and they are very similar for a given waist. Resolute 710 is actually even 2 cm higher rise, 0.5 cm wider in thigh, and 1 cm wider in leg opening. I'm concerned that even the Resolute would be too tight for my frame, so the Kyotos are a no-go for me. I did end up snagging a Denime 232 jacket from Celluloid to solve my Type 2 fix. It was a hard choice over WH 2002xx, but I figured that it was a good chance to try out Denime. In reality, it probably won't be hugely different from the 2002xx based on the Denime by Warehouse jeans - will probably grab a pair of 220a when back in stock or new 1954 when it arrives.

Yeah, the Kyoto is rather slim. Has similarities to the Resolute 710. I am still searching for a W36 in this cut because of the slimmer nature.

Are the Kyotos pretty low rise and narrow through the thighs? These actually should fit my waist and inseam, but I fear that the rise and thigh would be too tight for me.

Found a really good rock to match the Foreman pants Been wearing these a lot lately

Railcar makes women’s, but I’m not sure about their current offerings. so does Raleigh Denim, but they’re comically overpriced even as they’re quite well made. Honestly I’d try a pair of fullcount 0105s - I’ve thought about getting a pair for my wife.

Drove down to see the eclipse in totality in Salem, Indiana last week before adventuring in the Great Smoky Mountains for a few days. Any pictures you have seen do not do this celestial event justice. If you ever get the chance to see it take it. My camera could not capture it at all but my gods it was fucking spectacular. But I did manage to get a few fit pics. *Big hat *Thrashed bandana bolo *Orphan vest *Levi's LVC "What are Stars" tee *Vintage tea core belt *Turquoise pin *Mister Freedom Outlaw double black *Vintage Sears/ACME Thunderbird Cowboy boots Best I could do with my shite phone. The below shots were taken just minutes apart. Animals got weird. Temperature dropped. Street lights came on. The stars came out. You could hear a pin drop among the people crying and whispering. Her face says it all. Not my photos but this is pretty close to what we saw. Mind blown.

I think they look awesome like they are, almost like they are charred.

Does anyone know of a maker with a decent selection of Women’s jeans? My other half wants a pair of regular/wide straights with a high waist in some kind of dry selvedge. I’m sure I remember LVC having a pretty good range at one point but no longer seems to be the case. Anatomica’s 618 Marilyn looks absolutely on the money but sadly only goes up to 30. Ideally she’d want a 34 or 36.
