I have been on an extraneous journey to find the perfect jeans that fit my many personalities and styles. I remember have a pair dark blue tapered denim Levi’s and black slim fit true religion jeans that fit me perfect. Life took them away from and I have yet to find a pair like either, and it doesn’t help that I don’t remember the exact style of either now I’m back on the hunt. This journey has brought me me to Benzak’s B-01s and 02s and Momotaro’s wide straight. I have even venture back into time and found a pair of light washed Robin jeans.

The rest of the photos of the young lady in the WW2 jeans rolling a cigarette: And on stage wearing a type 2 style jacket:

Studio d'Artisan just released a WW2 jeans. Not too flashy, a little bit of wonky-ness https://www.dartisan-onlineshop.com/SHOP/D1903.html And in an appropriate cut (read: not relaxed tapered)

Some years ago in my favorite true religion jeans. I memissed this so much 😢🥺

Foreman pants Probably not really due for an update yet, but they’re the main thing I’ve been wearing when I’m not in my contest jeans and I’ve really been enjoying them Color truest in the first two shots, ‘51 601xx for reference

Was spending time with my girlfriend's grandparents; her grandmother brought out the high school 'annuals' from Butte, Montana, 1956-59. I snagged a few haphazard photos while conversing. Not iconic per se, but nevertheless fascinating. I especially love the all-state athletes' steez 😂

Comparison new unwashed with previous version which I am washing and drying by machine ( 17.5 on back rise - don’t know why it’s blurry)

Thanks folks! Really pleased with how they’re wearing in so far. I do wish the cut was wider and higher, but the detailing is good and the denim is just lovely

It's from a photo set taken at the University of Arizona rodeo in 1947. Here's a shot of her, with her very dubiously shaped cigarette.

Fit pics with different ways of buttoning. The jacket feels smaller than the measurements suggest. But I don't plan to layer and wear denim jackets mostly in the warmer months with just a tshirt underneath.

xx4 denim raw and with maybe 10 months of wear. The comparison makes me feel that maybe it’s not as slow fading as I had thought.

This is really just a contest of self discipline / willpower / focus isn’t it? (I suppose laziness and/or brokeness can be a big advantage too)

WW2 Levis S501XX

I'm dropping a few more photos that I captured of the M41001, which I missed the first time. Jeans are now in process of being shrunk. I will show the before and after measuring tape photos of the waist along with fit once they've fully air dried (probably later in weekend or next week). The back of all the fly buttons are stamped with "S"

Saw this detail on an original pair and thought l'd plonk it here. Don't think this WW2 amateur stitching has been replicated yet - two types of stitch count l'm assuming, done on the same machine?

Food for thought. Thanks everyone. Ended up ordering some dark brown suede ivy loafers from Morjas. For sure wearable with more than just a suit which is what I wanted. Would've liked the Drake's Charles loafer in dark brown suede but too rich for my blood.

Sugar Canes Lot 1947... BNWT... for sale. Size 34. One-wash. Red tab and arcs These are c20 years old, based on OO's M-series guide (towards the bottom of page 1) I acquired them last year for £230 all in. Looking to recoup the same ideally... however shoot me a DM to discuss. Unworn. Reluctant sale. Reason - they are too small for me! Measurements - remember these are one-wash so they will stretch Waist 41cm - this will stretch by about 2cm Inside leg 85cm Front rise 31cm Back rise 42cm Thigh at crotch 33.5cm And a few pics of them out in the wilds of Sheffield...

somehow every item is worse than the previous

@Jurassic Thanks for that, never seen it. Seems l was wrong, looking at the date of the movie (1943) and the new(ish) condition of the jacket, l'm assuming it is an early 40s 506xx (which would've had the larger, post 1935 buttons) although the small thin pleat stitch boxes and lack of tab indicate pre 1936. Could've had the tab removed? Could be the 1936 model, big button/no tab? Also found one or two images of the jeans he was wearing in the movie - typical 1937-42 era 501XX. Now l have the name l will have to look out for it 🙂

Should've put this in the 'Denim in film' thread but l don't know which film it's from unfortunately. I've seen plenty (if not all) of JW's black and white westerns from the 1930s and 40s but have never seen him in this shot and more importantly for me, never seen him wear a 506xx. The image was borrowed from Vintagebrotherhood on lg, simply titled 'mid 1930s'. The details in the pic plus the date adds weight to this jacket being the small button version (1927-35).
