Digging my old RRL rough outs. Supposedly RRL worked with a Pennsylvania boot maker who had a contract supplying boots to the US Army in WWII.

My 2009's are looking pretty good, but they've already had a crotch repair once and it's about to go again, I fear.

Well, there is some truth in it. I have experienced it every so often that some high rise jeans just tend to sag to the usual spot where I wear my jeans and since they are worn lower than intended, this adds to the overall length/Inseam. That's also why i often don't like some high rise jeans, they will simply fall down (even with a belt).

@MJF9 No, that was my backyard and I was wearing another pair. We had gone over 30 days without rain here and we finally had an overcast day, so I decided to take some pics. I couldn't have that dog off leash in an open area...one rabbit or squirrel and she'd be gone forever.

Nice isn't it, sounds a bit like Souls of Mischeif. It went under the radar.. i only found it through searching the sample from Artifacts 'wrong side of the tracks' ..

Quite .. take these Lot44 which i've dug out of the Mister Freedom thread, they're a good example of rise v waist.. incidentally they're described as a medium rise but if they migrated down to a natural waist position, ie- 5" lower, the crotch would be at your knees and you wouldn't be able to reach your pockets

If we take to extremes 1) a 50cm rise + 80cm inseam 2) a 30cm rise + 80cm inseam If worn in exactly the same place on the waist, scenario 1) has more material which has to go somewhere… and would hang lower on the leg Noting and agreeing that there are many more parameters will define how they look on an individual!! 😃

Thanks for this @Double 0 Soul . I've been wondering lately why I've seen so many guys wearing two pairs of tracksuit bottoms even in boiling hot weather - now I understand!

@fresh1 looking good... though the pic raises too many questions ... is that the local park? What were you wearing when you took the picture? Did they call the police?

I haven’t looked at the new ones but historically Momo uses sanforized fabrics which do indeed shrink less but still do shrink, usually in the realm of 3-5% instead of 10% or so for unsanforized. Sanforized fabrics are also less desirable to some (myself included, though I’m not dogmatic about this) because it can flatten the character out of the denim, fwiw.

How do you like hickory items? When looking at pics of someone wearing a pair of hickory pants to me they look quite whiteish. Probably because I'm so used to looking at denim. These are the Samurai pants. However, when I just look at the fabric it's different, darker. And there are different kinds of hickory. Sugar Cane has been issuing Headlight work pants. The current one is about 2/3 blue and 1/3 white. A previous version was more 50/50. The previous one is indigo. I'm not sure, if the current one is also indigo. But probably. Hickory can be combined nicely with denim and probably also brown duck. Here are the pants with a denim jacket. Does anyone have experience with hickory pants? I'm looking for a comfortable fit (wide, high waisted), and more blue than white and in indigo for fades. The Samurai look really nice but are relatively heavy at 17oz. And I'd like to wear the hickory pants in warmer months. The Sugar Cane/Headlight is 11oz, which would be better. Nudie Jeans has a chore coat and pants in 8.5oz. Eat Dust has also offered pants and jacket. There are also some by Stan Ray, Dickies and other. But I'm not sure, if the fabric is indigo.

Hickory isn’t for me but it’s cool to see it. Companion offers it, I think in all of their cuts - one of which seems to possibly fit the bill for you (the loose Tom). https://companiondenim.com/product/jan-027-hickory-stripes/ They’re not quite the typical Sufu fare, and they’re not so repro oriented necessarily, often having a bit of design flair that’s unique to them, but Iu’s shop does everything very well in my opinion. Well, at least everything I’ve got from them has been done well.

I have the Buzz Rickson one and I love it. Haven't handled the RMC one but I have seen the price difference and given the quality (as I see it) of the BR one I wouldn't regard it as justified.

If higher rise jeans do indeed sag to the point at which you usually wear your jeans.. Britney will be wearing very saggy mum jeans sorry, I was just being facetious 🤐

What was it at db- British lads comedy hour? 😃

Of course I am.. I was carrying on the theme of unintentional denim comedy 😆

I'm seeing an opportunity... two pairs of jeans anyone for double fading???

Did Britney just need to pull these up a bit?

In my experience and opinion most denim is forever shrinking, unsaforized or not. Unless you plan on cold soaking every six months or something similar.

Crazy how the algorithm works.. i like how it's rejuvenating interest in forgotten bands.. this album cover popped up a couple of months ago.. i clicked on it just because it was a dope af album cover ..and so did millions of others.. next thing this Japanese band from the 90s who disbanded after the release of their first album (which only sold a few 1000 copies) have 2million + views and a legion of worldwide fans.. the female singer married the guy who took the photo and all but disappeared.

Vintage 1922 Levi's 501XX on Marvin's. These are the earliest belt looped 501xx - so basically a c.1915-1921 501xx that still have the hand-tooled looking rivet heads, which between c1922 and c.1926 gradually changed to become the more standard round-topped rivet heads we all normally associate with 501's. They also have the first gen shorter belt loops made with shirt weight denim, which gradually lengthened over the decade plus concave suspender buttons and unbranded bullseye style fly buttons. These last two details disappeared around c.1926/27, the same year the redline was introduced. What strikes me most is the beautiful pattern of wear over time but also that someone went to the trouble of cutting out the centre part of the two horse patch, so that it didn't shrivel out in the sun or through shrinkage, and become uncomfortable for the wearer. I'm obviously guessing this last part but they are a thing of beauty in my eyes and to think they are roughly 100 years old. Not many wearable clothes that old. Off to get a lottery ticket 😁 Obviously a double cuffer too!
