Did an overnighter gravel event. A bit of rain and a lot of mud. last picture, same but different

Haven’t been on here for a long time. Just wanted to share some pics of my lot 2000 no.2. If I can find my other pair of lot 2000 no.1 denim I’ll post them side by side just for fun.

Continuing from the above post, A big thank you to whom ever it was that sent me these photos via lg a couple of days ago. Looking at the rest of the set of pics here it look like they have all the hallmarks of the 1942 501XX except in this case the buckle looks silver as opposed to the black one we'd normally expect or it could be the lighting putting a shine on it? Also this pair has alot of dual orange and yellow stitching, unlike Larry's deadstock pair on the previous page which in King of Vintage Vol.4 has mostly yellow. Rounded hidden rivets post-1940 and copper coated fly button backs, which l've not seen before on a pair of 1941 or 1942 501's.

I get asked this on a daily basis from customers via email, social media DM's, etc.. and I never know what to answer because what really IS "true to size"? Who's determined the "true" size of anything? If you're a person who's been buying Japanese brands your true to size for jean would be the waist matching the tagged size by .5", where as if you're a person buying western brands your true would be anywhere between 1" to 3" above that.. so really there is no "true to size" as a universal saying.

How do people interpret a claim that an item fits "true to size"? I'm asking out of curiosity (in the spirit of "general nonsense") rather than for any practical reason. It seems to me that it could be used to mean quite different things in different contexts - - true to the brand's sizing (so a Nudie w32 fits true to size if it fits like other Nudie jeans, i.e. about 3" oversized) - true to actual measurements (so a w32 fits true to size if the waist measures 32") - true to average jeans sizing (so a w32 fits true to size if it fits like you'd expect most w32 jeans to fit) I suspect that on here, the second is the most popular interpretation. But amongst (e.g.) people who post reviews on Amazon or brands' own websites, the third is probably more common. And if brands say it themselves, maybe they mean the first?

^ Top notch all around I just picked up a half yard of some really beautiful light indigo ramie from Buaisou, no idea what I’m going to do with it but I’m looking forward Tilley / Joe McCoy’s / Great Lakes / Cane’s / Russell

You may have someone who is a measured 34” waist who wears size 32” jeans (which start out at 34”, shrink to 32” and stretch back to 34” if required) and therefore considers themself as a ‘true’ 32!

Who wore it better? Sugarcane Okianawa in W34 Past-bF from January 2015: or Present-bF from July 2024:

Just received the Longshoreman in wabash from Seiichiro-san. I really like this cut, and I've been looking for nice wabash pants. Right now, it's way too hot to wear long pants in Seattle. Soon though... (Most accurate picture on pic #2.)

Hey I'm back so soon that I can see another one of my posts on the same page of the thread. I made a video where I go over every single Acronym Nike release and cover my personal collection along the way. I also touch on the new MSCHF collaboration. I have every Lunar Force 1 because I love that shoe so much, there's also a tier list near the end for my definitive ranking of every pair. I think I get mildly controversial with some of my opinions!
