here we go!
we could use this thread to compare different kind of 66 style inspired jeans cuts by various makers, geeking out on details and differences in cut, fabric etc etc.
1966 jeans details are widely known by just to sum it up:
silhouette: clean silhouette with mid rise, a regular top block and a slight taper from knee to hem
denim: the denim used for 60's jeans has usually a pale blue hue and should fade to a nice royal blue
details:
- bartacks in lieu of rivets on backpockets
- square coinpocket
- no selvedge hidden in the coinpocket, which is usualy chaintitched
- double chainstitch waistband construction
- paper patch instead of leather patch
- absence of the V-stitch at the top button
