I simply love grey sweaters. Have a bunch of 'em. Arket - FW - Duke - RW

had a buddy snap some photos of his old 2010 pair of 47s compared to his new 2024 pair.

I left the tag on my 25th 1950s so Ill probably leave this one too. Here's a pic of the 1950s:

Love these tiny salesman samples and wouldn't normally bother posting but for it's rarity l just had to this once. And just for the record, l am not Dr levis.

I am not going to go into a longwinded back-and-forth on this, and I loathe essays, but I need to address your accusation. We’ve kept in touch on email since the first deal in 2019, and there has never been a hint of negativity. I agreed to a deal after you’d repeatedly pressed me to sell the J55 back to you since January (at retail, after I bought it from you for 2x) when I had repeatedly indicated I did not want to part with it. My partner bought the item via Grailed as a Christmas gift, as she knew I had been looking for one. She bought it using my account, and took care to cover her tracks. I only found out what happened after you lunged at my throat after the seller informed you of the sale and shared the screenshot of my Grailed profile. I have repeatedly acknowledged your suspicions as valid, and have explained the events ad nauseum. As fictitious as it sounds, it is the truth. Ironically, you chose to report me for using a racial slur when banning me from this thread, when your emails to me were peppered with homophobic slurs. It’s also worth noting that I have reiterated several times that I have not reneged on our trade, as a gesture of good faith. I acknowledge your frustration as valid, but to label me “the most vile & deceitful person i interact with” on the back of this is absurd, as is the accusation that I am a “multiple cheater”. I am sorry that this situation has led to the souring between us, but am confident that those that have conversed or dealt with me on Sufu (and other platforms and in person) will attest to my character.

Mods, if this isn't the right area to post this I'm sorry. I don't use this forum much. I need help regarding this situation and the raw denim subreddit wont let me post it because it's a "general discussion topic"???? Checked their posting rules, and my post doesn't violate any of them, but ANYWAYS. TLDR: Pretty sure an employee stole my ~$400 vintage Levi's that I sent in for repairs. As for the details: I sent in a pair of vintage Levi's to have a couple button hole repairs done by them. Website says 5-7 days turn around time. The jeans arrived to them October 1st and still don't have my jeans back. It's now been 2.5 months of them having my jeans. I've probably sent 15 total messages across all their channels (email, chat, Instagram) regarding the issue and haven't received one reply back. Fed up, I called them and the employee basically said "oh yeah we don't reply to emails there's too many". And then he explained that my jeans are set to ship "next week". Next week goes by, nothing. Another week goes by, and I FINALLY get a shipping confirmation by UPS. I check back after a couple days and the tracking number now says "shipping label voided". Called them again right now and they said "oh yeah that's not the right tracking it's actually this USPS one and it say's it was delivered yesterday". Keep in mind, I received no official tracking email just an employee saying "this is the tracking xxxx". Worst of all, I had NO package delivered. I was home all day yesterday. Watched the USPS guy go by and there was no package. I explained this to them and they said "Well uh, show's delivered on our end so there's nothing we can do". They are now forwarding my calls after they said they'd call me back. So yeah, I'm now out on my favorite pair of vintage and beautifully faded one of a kind Levi's that were probably valued at $300 not including the $100+ I spent on repairs. I'm 90% sure Williamsburg Garment Co. had something to do with this. Complete and utter bullshit. Avoid this company like the plague. I'm not sure what my options are now but yeah, this really sucks. Here's an imgur link of some screenshots showing my order date and tracking cancelation: https://imgur.com/a/denim-nightmare-yOk2YlL

Mmmk, a few of you have messaged to be added to the map, a couple I figured out from their bio (from in this thread, if you want me to update, or remove, lmk)...

What kind of joke-ass business says "lol, yeah we get too many emails so we just don't bother replying to them"? Totally unprofessional. Hopefully you can get at least some of your money back.

Shame about the delay but totally understand and am excited for Pizza Day!! @Broark that will make the comp and the jeans all the more special, and it does sound cliched at this point but trust me you'll be washing them more often!!!! @reallypeacedoff messaged you my location, thank you for sorting!!

I picked these up for my wife for a very reasonable sum There's no inner tag so am I right in thinking these are an m41119 model?

I got these off Mercari brand new for a good deal. I just picked the arcs and gave them a wash - I'm excited to start wearing them!

Thanks but alas l am not copping. With the Reverse yoke model it seems that only the year 1941 is used to describe it , not 1940-42. So a very brief experimental period for the manufacture of the 501 then? I did try and find out years ago about the csf war denim but drew a blank. Maybe it's a secret? Edit. Also looking at your above query, traditionally levis 501 had 3 button fly plus waistband button until c.1936, when they gained an fourth fly button.

Dr., I saw them as well and had to get a pair. I too need another pair of buckle backs like a hole in the head!

Really tempted by these Hinoya exclusive 1941 DSB model despite owning the CSF 1941 model already. I need another pair of bucklebacks like l need a hole in the head. Luckily l'm a bit skint atm and when l do finally get round to having a bit of disposable income, they will probably be sold out in my size 😁

Speaking of 714, wearing mine today

Well, since we only need to add another 25 spots, I would be happy if people DM me their city (you choose your proximity to your nearest city, of course) and I can add them to that map. I can take a screenshot of it at the end, and we could add it to one of the first posts on the new thread?

I've been discussing this a little with @beautiful_FrEaK, a simple overview of the jeans mostly focussed upon here, i.e. from 36 to 55. We noticed that the 47 has of course been widely discussed, as have in the recent years the different WWII and 46 models. On the different 50s models there hasn't been that much discussion, I found. These are, I think, the main characteristics regarding denim and cut. 36/37: probably the widest fit (thigh, knee, hem) dark denim denim relatively smooth stitch colour: mostly tobacco/orange (LVC has some lemon/yellow in it) 42: two versions, one with cinch, one without, already coarser WWII denim stitch colour: yellow WWII: different versions, but generally higher rise, wider in the thigh and knee, a little tapered, dark denim relativel coarse (neepy and slubby to various degrees) denim stitch colour: yellow 46/47: Rise a little lower than the WWIIs Upper thight a little less than WWIIs, knee similar to WWIIs, hem wider than WWIIs, thus straighter, hardly any taper less dark denim, more blue relatively smoother denim stitch colour: orange and yellow 47 tab one sided (katamen) 50s- there seem to be three main model: 1951, 1953 and 1954 (and on) 1951- little lower rise compared with the 47, similar thigh, less knee and hem denim again a bit brighter similar denim to 47 stitching is mostly brown with some yellow tab both sided (ryomen) 1953- the year the type 2 jacket was introduced while the 51 became slimmer in the knee and hem than the 47, the 53s got wider than the 47s again in the knee and hem denim seems similar to 47 and 51 stitching is mostly brown with some yellow (rainbow stitching) with the arcs from the WH version in yellow shorter side stiches no more selvedge in the coin pocket narrower v-stitch tab both sided (ryomen) 1954- very similar to the 1953 according to the WH models the hem is a little wider switch to more mass production had the back middle belt loop move a bit to the left, offset --> easer to sew as the material/fabric is not as thick the WH model still has the leather patch, later switch to paper patch yarn colours like 53 model 1956- The FW model is even slimmer than the 1951 one, knee and hem Now while the FWs, TCB and WH 50s models I checked all had mainly brown stitching with some yellow (waist, arcs, ...) the 50s models of Cushman (lot 22177) and also Joe McCoy (905S) have mostly yellow stitching. Cushman Joe McCoy So where there models in the 50s with mostly brown stitching and others with mostly yellow? Or is this based on specific year models? Perhaps something is stated in the 501 book. Here are some helpful measurements and overview graphics from the Duke.

@shredwin_206 They were going to re-release those this year, but according to celluloid they encountered some sewing machine issues and have postponed to who knows when.

Considering selling the Full Count WWII tux that I purchased. Totally unworn. Size 42 and 36 respectively. Just not sure when I'm gonna get to wear them and with an upcoming move, not sure I need them right now either. Size/Chest/Shoulder/Length/Hem/Sleeve/ 42(XL)/62cm/53cm/63cm/56cm/61cm Size/Waist/Front Rise/Back Rise/Inseam/Thigh Width/Hem Width 36inc/91cm/32,5cm/45,5cm/89cm/33,5cm/25,5cm Would cost you $505 for the set from Bears as of today. Would sell 'em both for $450 shipped. Or jacket for $260 and pants for $200.

Yep - I would file a chargeback on your credit card. Even though it’s been awhile you’re probably still in the grace period. I know that doesn’t get your Levi’s back. Edit - I will say that USPS tracking can sometimes be fickle and report an item as delivered a day or two (or even three) before it gets there. I would enter the tracking myself and contact your local usps office and wait a few more days first. Not that it seems that WGC has earned the benefit of the doubt here, but USPS really could be in error at the moment.

@shredwin_206 Funny timing, I just posted photos of a slightly less worn pair of those a page or two ago that I’d seen on Yahoo

I ordered sz 33. When they arrive I'll check how the number of fly buttons.

really cool warehouse wrangler repro I saw on grailed. Anyone had a pair?

If you paid by credit card then raise it with the bank. They should have you covered.

What size did you end up ordering Grant? Looking at the pics, that size 31 only has three fly buttons whereas an original would have had four plus the waistband button. How many has yours?

I think that’s what started it all in the first place! 😊

Bummer about the delay but no worries, new expected start date is the day before my wife's due date. Should be a fun contest!

We have some bad news...and we have some good news. Bad news first: We won't be able to make the December 21st start date. This is mainly because the contest leather patches with the new die won't be ready in time to let Simone send out the jeans as planned. If he pushes the shipping further back, we will interfere with the crazy amounts of packages during Christmas and thus the risk of delays or lost packages might go up. We don't want to risk this. This is also a reason we think January 1st (new year, new jeans) won't work as well. Good news: We found the perfect alternative start date...*drum roll*... January 17th! As you all probably know, January 17th is the Italian "World Pizza Day" (https://www.gruppouna.it/en/magazine/world-pizza-day#:~:text=World Pizza Day is celebrated,Neapolitan tradition and ancient customs.) So which day would be more appropriate?!

^ that's a neat idea! Simone is still working on the rivets but it seems he is on a good way!

So, you banned him permanently from this forum simply because you had a personal bad experience with him on Discord? No scam or fraud? The user is unbanned, and the warning is revoked.

I'm also getting a cacio e pepe recipe too, paid extra 💁‍♂️

I haven’t taken photos of pants, because I’m currently wearing 1/2 of them. I also haven’t taken photos of tees (2x), a whole big slew of socks, nor a variety of smaller things (shades, watch, mugs, gloves, kerchief, ???). With those exceptions out of the way, finally: jackets & coats. Shown first are the Type 961 Baste Pocket Jacket, in red ochre cotton velvet; the Type WS922 Welsh Flannel Curve Front Jacket (Thanks Austin!); the Type 425 Double Cuff Flat Jacket, in some sort of very soft (felted?) wool. Last but not least are the Tenth Anniversary Edition Type 900 and the standard Type 902.

Next, shirts. Before I tried anything else from Tender Co., I was a big fan of their wool & mohair socks. I thought that the rest of the clothes were a little too out there for me (go figure). At some point in maybe 2017 or 2018, I was in Standard & Strange and they asked if I wanted to try out one of the shirts. It wasn’t for sale—I think they’d stopped even stocking Tender Co., by that point, besides maybe belts and socks—but I guess another regular had dropped it off as a pay-it-forward sort of deal, just in hopes that it would find a happy home. It was some or other version of (I think) the Type 423 Wallaby shirt, and at that point in grad school I wasn’t going to say no to a free fancy shirt. I started trying to work it into my style, and before too long a switch flipped and I “got it”. I’m still really thankful to whomever dropped the shirt at S&S, and to the staff who was working that day and saw fit to pass it on to me (sadly, I’ve long forgotten who that would’ve been). Through them, a long-term appreciation & obsession were born. The shirt in question was eventually joined by 2x Type 492 Bench Shirts, in indigo chambray tote cloth + in henna handkerchief check; the Type 452 Bridge Pocket Square Tail Shirt, in Hadal green Herdwick stripe casement; the Type 445 Short Sleeved Boomerang Shirt, in Prussian blue carding cloth. (Not shown is a Type 420 Long Sleeve Tail Shirt, in walnut cotton tote, which I almost like quite a bit, but rarely end up wearing in practice, I think because of the bright red buttons. I’ve also sadly had to pass a couple others on due to inconsistent sizing.)

1927 jacket looking like vintage

There's not actually any denim in this photo, but it's too good not to share. From Traces Of Texas on FB/IG. I especially like the hats and outerwear.

My 1001 in need of some repairs

S1001XX banner denim. Repaired all over

How come no one does the gusset on the repros. Let’s get Freewheelers on board. Haha

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.

This is correct. During this era they made many garments for different brands that followed similar naming as you see with the Harley Davidson jacket or Indian Motorcycle, sometimes adding prefix letters (Indian motorcycle has "IMX-XXX" or "IMXXXXX")

@Alec Leamas theres an entire photoshoot of these guys. I think it’s taken from Life? Black Ivy will probably have better references.

Are we talking about any of these?
