Hello contestants, Great news… Simone is on track to finish sewing all the jeans by the end of the coming week 👏 👏 👏… he will then sort out the patches… and over the past few days, Simone, @beautiful_FrEaK and I have been discussing exactly that... To date, Simone’s patches have been made using a rubber stamp. We think it looks cool, though the graphics are less sharp than on patches made using a foil stamp. So now Simone’s having a foil new stamp made for his standard (non-competition) jeans. See pic. Our current competition default is a rubber stamped patch. I asked if a foil stamp was an option. It is. However, there’s a one-off cost of 190 Euros which we can’t expect Simone to cover... noting we’re already getting a good deal. Therefore, if we want a foil stamped patch, we could split this cost 26 ways, which would mean an extra 7 Euros a person. @beautiful_FrEaK and I agree that it’s best to put this out there for a good ole Sufu vote… what could possibly go wrong 😉 ??!!! We could have stayed quietly rubber lipped, but imagine the guilt we’d have had to carry for the rest of our lives… To avoid production delays, we must make a decision by Tuesday 26th November. Polls will close at 18:00 GMT (UK time). OK… below are 3 options and proposed guidelines / rules… Options 1. The Sufu WoM contest patch, rubber stamp version – our current plan No extra cost Cool image, but less sharp than with a foil stamp. Perhaps this will look cooler 2. The Sufu WoM contest patch, foil stamp version Pay an extra 7 Euros each = about $7 = about £6. 190 Euros in total. Same cool image. We do not have a foil stamped patch example available to compare the difference v the rubber stamp. Only your imagination. Expected sharper resolution. 3. The WoM standard non-contest patch, foil stamp version (see below NEW VERSION) No extra cost Sharper resolution It’s not exclusive to the competition Let’s keep the decision making process simple i.e. All contest jeans will have the same patch One vote per contestant (non contestants, no vote... we'll know 😉) Contestants vote for either option 1, 2 or 3 If contestants miss the deadline, then they lose their vote unfortunately. We want to avoid delays to Simone’s schedule. The winner is the option with the most votes by the deadline time i.e. 18:00 GMT (UK time) on Tuesday 26th November In the event of a tie, I’ll ask our lead judge Maynard to toss a coin to pick the winner If option 2 wins, and someone can’t make the extra cost, then please let me and Tilmann know by DM and we’ll discuss what to do If I’ve forgotten an important clause or condition... tough sh!t And if you’re still reading this and haven’t fallen asleep… you’re already a winner in my eyes Now I'm going to set up a poll and keep my fingers crossed it works... if it fails, we'll use DMs... let's see!

Lee Storm Rider 101 LJ jacket original from 60s/70s. Dating these jackets seems to be a bit up in the air. This jacket does have the M.R. (Marca Registrada) on the inside label and the black pocket flap tag. The inside label is an embroidered version. There are two holes in the forearm area of the left arm. One button is missing from the left adjustment strap on the back. Wonderful condition. Just worn in the right amount. Size 44 regular. I'm a 44 in a suit jacket. The Storm Rider cut is slim. I can wear a lightweight long sleeve shirt underneath, but it's most comfortable with a t-shirt. If you are a 42 or smaller, you could layer depending on your build. Listing here for a couple of days before I put it on ebay. Asking $300.00. Plus shipping. Price will go up on ebay. Forgot measurements: Pit to pit: 24 1/2" (remember jacket is lined, don't want this to be deceiving) Shoulders: 22" Sleeve from seam: 24" Waist: 21"

If the standard (non-contest) patch is an option, that will always be my preference…

I love those jeans and instinctively have always thought they were early 60s. LVC's cuts are indeed traditionally kind of stylised. Remember, pattern cutting is not a precise art, shapes will vary between sizes and some aspects, ie back pocket shapes, varied between factories so they are hitting a moving target. However, although some cuts are exaggerated (ie 201) their take on the different patterns has generally become a consensus, although quite a few brands tend to have a higher rise for their 60s models. @Maynard, I was interested by your post sayig the Turkish-made jeans used Orta Mills. Where did you hear that? I do remember enquiring, and hearing they weren't Cone, but I had the vague idea they were Italian denim (Candiani?) - but have probably mis-remembered. Did I say they were Orta?

Whether they’re trim or not is largely irrelevant and dependent on the physique of the wearer and whether they size correctly, up or down. From what I’ve read on the subject and according to experts such as @Paul T, LVC exaggerated some aspects of the cut in their models in order to differentiate them enough (and thereby justify them and possibly encourage us punters to buy multiple pairs).

They are none of those 3 models, which are all LVC reproductions based on approximate interpretations of models extant at that time. If your question relates to which current LVC repro model they most closely resemble/align to then it is clearly not the 47s as the pair Nicholson is wearing has a paper patch. The film was released in 1975 and set in 1963. In that instance, Nicholson could be wearing a contemporary (ie mid-1970s) pair of Levi’s. If however, the costume department were aiming for something period correct, they should more closely align to an early 60s pair, which in current LVC terms would be most similar to the 55 model. I can’t quite tell whether they have hidden rivets or not but I think they do.

One wash doesn’t shrink - tightens after washing then loosens. The denim stretches pretty much like most denim … it all depends on how much force is applied to it

Hey @kiya, went to a friend's birthday party last night, and it was hosted by Stephen Kenn at his furniture showroom. Got chatting, and he used to make denim...cool guy!

Someone should tell the poor fella

Picked up a pair of one wash 1947’s and the fit is pretty spot on. Any wisdom on how much shrink to expect from washing on the one wash version, or on how stretchy the denim is?

Looking sharp Carl, and l'm not talking about the microwave.

German engineering, baby. Look at how little room I have in there for any wrenches lol. Changed my rear brakes, feeling good about it too since I didn't need to go to my dad for help for once. Rotors were toast and took a lot of PB Blaster, acetylene, and brute force to break free of the hub. Love road salt so much 😑. Also washed my jeans like 2 days ago because I wasn't thinking about having to do my brakes when I started the wash lol.

15/16 yr old redwing Beckman 9012. could be the most expensive pair of redwings. bought them from the us. Shipping and vat. worn them for a few yrs, than send them of to Tokyo, brass, to get them resoled. Shipping two way, tax, and the resole. Can’t find pictures of the resole. On paper I wanted it in real life it wasn’t the best choice. Double leather sole, half vibrant sole. Still worn them for a few more yrs. Than had them locally resoled to how they are now, ad another 100 euro. i wear them mostly now in my workshop and when there is snow, like today

Warehouse x3, Oak Street.

Cleaned up my trusty Rag & Bone Indy clones. Did a little digging and found that Grenson had a factory in Brooklyn around the time these were made and along with a few other clues it seems my long running mystery of who made these amazing boots is finally solved.

Surprise delivery of the new late 40s jeans today. This is a straightforward straight leg, high rise fit that's going to check a lot of people's boxes. I took a size 36 on these which is 1 size up from my typical TCB size, I'd say these come up slim relative to the tag size.

Just ripped the knee. Repairing these every 5 minutes lately.

Here are some nicer images of the $240k 1890's recently discussed in the other thread, before they disappear into some museum. These courtesy of mushroom vintage. 2 notable things for me. The close up of the crotch construction with what looks like a gusset(?) type thing going on - where's @Sansome1877 when you need him? Secondly, is that a pair of og canvas one pocket duck pants in the first shot? Guy must have spent a fortune.

More vintage love a studio d' Artisan model from the mid 90's the lot number i cant remember due to it wearing off and the care labels fading, and another EVIS 2101 Lee cowboy 101 reproduction with a more intact lazy S paint

Been wearing the 1890s most days since the end of July. Washed twice. Not giving much up yet.

What is that top? Looks like something MFSC or FW would make...

From instagram @weejawns

No idea what jacket it is, i also liked the look of the one pocket. It's probably a Maverick jeans jacket, here is some more info on the brand.

What wrangler model is that? I like the single pocket.

Miles Davis at the Kool Jazz Festival 1981

Jim Moir aka Vic Reeves (on Celebrity Masterchef).

I'll let you add the punchline.

Dolph Lundgren, Ice T and Van Damme, peak 90's

Martin Sheen in a Type 2 in Badlands. Jeans seem more like 60's Levi's though.
