I saw this from a Standard and Strange sales associate about the black 20s pair. it sounds like the product description once they’re up on the site “S&S x Ooe 10 Year Anniversary Jeans: These are cut with a tall mid-rise (right at the border of what we'd consider high-rise) as well as plenty of room through the seat and thighs. The legs are straight almost the entire way down, with a silhouette and details that were inspired by a pair of jeans from 1935 — the same year that the original Ooe Tailor Shop (run by Ryo's grandfather) was founded. It's a comfortable jean that goes with almost anything, a really classic shape that's not exaggerated in either direction, flatteringly relaxed without being too baggy or oversized. The denim is special, as Ooe almost never produces black jeans. Woven from 100% cotton yarns, it's a raw and unsanforized (shrink-to-fit) black & gray selvedge denim with a soft hand and a slightly hairy face texture. Produced exclusively for Ooe by a small mill in Japan, it's a low-contrast dark denim that will slowly develop fades throughout similar to an indigo denim (though these fades will be less dramatic than indigo, and will take a longer time and/or more wear to develop to a similar level). It's packed with old-school details, from the two-prong buckleback to the 100% cotton thread used throughout, with exposed copper rivets, iron suspender buttons around the waistband, and a classic five pocket configuration. The fly hides a special little embellishment, with the inner piece being cut from a dark indigo denim hidden behind the outer black/gray fabric. This funny detail is a nod to the very first pair of jeans Ooe made — having found a stash of deadstock denim hidden away in the back of an old warehouse, they pulled what they believed to be a dark indigo fabric that was by their admission very hard to distinguish from black denim. This ultimately led to the accidental blending of multiple different fabrics during production, a humorous and memorable experience that has shaped Ooe's work to this day. These are an unsanforized aka "shrink-to-fit" denim. They will come in by about 10% during the first few washes, depending on the temperature of the water and how the jeans are dried. On average, this shrinkage amounts to approximately ~2 inches in the waist and ~3 inches in the inseam. Be aware that exact post-wash measurements can vary depending on how the denim is washed and dried (temperature and method). The sizing and fit on these is notably different to previous runs of Ooe denim. While other runs of Ooe jeans are sized by their raw measurements (for example, a pair tagged as size 32 measure to 32" in the waist before a wash, and then to 30" after washing), this run is tagged by size after a wash — so a size 32 measures roughly 34" in the waist before a wash, and then 32" after washing. In short, previous runs shrink from tag size, and this run shrinks to tag size.”

Here is my Ground-Alls SILVER STONE "G-S506XXE Rigid 46" WW2 Model Denim Jacket which I got from Bears about a week ago. Only cold machine wash so far and probably in the future too as I don’t want to lose any length in the body and sleeves.

Talking about wabash- there is also an interesting indigo wabash corduroy fabric. Fullcount have recently issued a few items made out of it like a cap, pants and chore coat. A few years ago also Colimbo and Sugarcane had some pants. Fullcount: Colimbo Waterloo EZ pants Sugarcane CORDUROY WABASH TROUSERS

Same pick up Notes: - Cinch back needle is very sharp, abit tricky when fastening into the appropriate position. - Cuff's buttonhole ridiculously small, not sure if that is also part of the repro charm... Overall, pretty rad jacket.

These small size pants is actually not for wear. Back in those days, it's sample for the jeans salesman to show details (hidden rivets, fabric feel, etc) to potential customers. More details here:

Quick update pic from a couple weeks ago. I’ve worn these pretty consistently since the start. They have seen a variety of activities from light hikes, weekend trips, walks around town, several skateparks, and plenty of office & car sitting. I think I might give them their first proper wash in a couple more weeks. Whiskers looking good so far. The fit/cut is still very enjoyable.

I think, the trackwalker wabash shirts used to be items of the permanent collection. But you're right, I think, that they haven't been issued in a long time, while there were reissues of the wabash chore coat for example and vest, I think in the recent years.

They are 47 501s made in autumn (fall) 2006 in USA. LVC HQ used to be in Europe, either that address in Brussels or in the old Olympic stadium in Amsterdam.

Same fit as yesterday Osaka and seoul pick ups so far Our onsen was abused for a first soak

Bumping this thread because I want to see what denim shirts people are wearing!

1933 jacket... I bought this one-wash... haven't washed it myself yet and plan to keep going until needs must... Freewheelers doesn't get nearly enough love around here 😀... so timely to say I really like this 30s denim... Last pic with the 1937 jeans in the same denim for comparison

Took my 5150s on tour to Bucharest recently... a few building pics in no particular order...

Picked up a pair of the Sumi Ai when visiting their store in Sapporo couple of weeks back, can confirm that all the arc are "revised" now, really beautiful fabric, subtle mix of black & indigo... Kind of looks like upside down 'R' now...

Here are some progress images of my ‘super denim collectibles’ 1946. I’ve never had 2 of the same pair to really to a side by side like this before, and kind of cool to see (IMO, of course). The worn pair is a sz 33” (up one from my usual size) and unworn 32”. I’ve been wearing since roughly the beginning of 2024 pretty much everyday for the first 8 months and after that wearing M-F and rotating different pairs on the weekend. I think I’ve washed 5 or 6 times - when I’ve felt like it. This is typically the kind of fade I like, and the stage when I would stop wearing and start to break in a new pair, but I plan on keeping these going. I really like them.

I went with M. I feel these run pretty big for a Japanese brand, though I'd also wear M in most Western brands I think.

Nice looking jacket @irual, the cut suits you well.

I don't have much experience with LVC tags but does the below seem to say that these were made in 2006? It says Fall 06... Also I assume these are a 47 cut as says 47501 but then i was confused by the 1.17 after it. also made in usa but levis address in europe?

I'll take the TCB.

For sale Bought this jacket about 10ish years ago second hand and haven't really worn it much. It spent most of its life on a hanger. I've always been a bit of a jacket junkie and bought this to replace an MA-1 but nowadays l'm looking to slim down my collection to just regular wearers. So 1948 Buzz Rickson L-2 American Pad and Textile Co model size 42, although imo fits more like a 44, but please go with the measurements listed. This jacket has perfectly working repro Crown spring loaded zippers, no problems or wear with any of the hardware. Even the olive paint on the snaps is without wear. The leather pulls and oxygen mask clip are in good condition. The knits are not tight but aren't baggy, the wrist knits hold their shape well and the waistband, whilst it isn't tight, it drapes well and doesn't grip your waist like a new one (which when you stretch your arms upwards, the waistband stays under your arms even when you return your arms back down). No holes in the knits! The lining is as new, with a clear contract label and US Air force stamp, also the US Air force decal on the sleeve looks like it's vintage because of the general patina of the outside of the nylon outer shell, which just adds to the charm, making it even more of a clone of the real deal. The Nylon used on the shell of this jacket is not thin or flimsy, it's a repro of the very first Dupont Nylon jackets, made between 1947 and 1949. Some watermarks and light wear hopefully shown by the photos provided. Beautiful jacket but time to pass it on. Asking £150 plus postage. Measurements are approximate. Shoulder seam to shoulder seam = 51cm Shoulder seam to end of cuff = 63.5cm Armpit to armpit = 63.5 Armpit to end of cuff = 48cm Collar seam to base down back = 60.5cm (with collar measures 70cm) Collar/neck width (across) = 13cm Waistband (across) = 52cm Apologies as usual for the sufu pic orientation lottery but hopefully they give you a good idea of the condition.

since for me everything started with LVC, no wonder they are among my oldest repros: 1950s Sawtooth Shirt, notice the long, what I would call front skirts / tails. I couldn't find out the purpose (maybe for bending backwards while on a Rodeo-Horse back) of it, since one would instinctively think that the back part should be longer, which is not uncommon for other vintage / antique shirt's... however this detail makes them a little less wearable untucked. This shirt was one of 4 deadstock shirts which a had the fortune of to acquire along with a rather large stash of deadstock Valencia Street Era 1955s 501xx repros a few years back... in time I have to post those too.

Wow, those are perfect. Making me want to look for a pair now! Thanks for sharing

The lady wanted pizza this weekend, and I wanted a wash. This weekend’s weather was quite poor but got some time to air dry outside. Loving how comfortable this pair is and the weight of the fabric. Pretty much only pair in my rotation Monday- Friday. Already fraying on my right pocket (pocket knife carried everyday) so will have to manage something with that. edit: shot of the pizza

Don't want to steal away traffic from the M-series thread, but I'll happily repost my The Flat Head S2004. The model number suggests they'd be a war model, but really they're detailed after the late '40s or early '50s, as best I can tell—couldn't say which reference period specifically. The name seems to have been a hold-over from the S2003, which were made the year prior and were a true war model. Otherwise, there's really not much info floating around on these. Here's them when they were new: …and here's after a decent bit of wear: I've said it before, but if it weren't for the low rise these would be way up in the running for my overall favorite pair of jeans. The detailing's great, construction's top notch, and the denim's faded just how I wish all '40s–'50s repro denim would fade. A++, would absolutely buy another pair if one ever showed up, even despite not loving everything about the fit.

Thank you @rodeo bill. The fabric was not cut off, only the pleats were fixed- front and back. The colour is already darker inside the pleats. The pleats make the shirt thicker and very comfortable to wear.

All ready for night two of our award winning live "Radio Show" The Spectral Silhouette. ( Adult Scooby Doo meets The Shadow with live music. We are on Spotify ). Tonight's show is vaguely western themed so wool trousers become cowboy denim. All vintage except the Barker Black pocket square and the Bronson Lee-pro.

The s1945 arrived about 10 days ago. I purchased them raw and have soaked them in the tub followed by a trip through the machine and hung outside to dry. I’ve yet to wear them. The fabric, as @beautiful_FrEaK mentioned, is quite neppy and rough - it really came alive after the soak/wash. Comparing the fabric to the s43 and 46 that I have, it’s closer in hand to the s43, where the 46 is quite smooth with a more ‘regular’ feel/texture. The difference in the color and dye used is quite apparent, and with the s45, I like that the weft is in a more natural/undyed state (see image - s43 on left and s45 on right). I really like the pairs I have - from the different fabrics, dyes, hardware, sewing, etc. I’m certainly no historian, but I really appreciate the effort SC has put into this line. Here are my pairs from top: s43, s45, 46 (unworn), 46 (worn consistently since I got them at the ~beginning of 2024, can’t remember exactly). weft comparison: s43 on left s45 on right

Thanks to b_F's unintentional, but persuasive, enabling, I have most of SC's Collectibles series jeans, and love them all. But like ATWN, I'm not a historical purist, which in my case means I lack the knowledge of year or even period-specific details, plus I'm somewhat colorblind, so barely notice things like thread color differences. But I love the fact that there are people here who appreciate these details. This, more than anything else, is why I tune in, though finding a nice pair of jeans that fits well is certainly a reason too. At the risk of going overboard with compliments, I am sincerely impressed by the knowledge and appreciation for historical detail that comes through on threads like this. My friends all think I'm a collector, and while the number of pairs hanging in my closet is damning evidence, I know that knowledge and appreciation for historical distinctions is a better indicator than volume.

I got one of those too telling me about the potential for massive growth - I told them I was in my 60s and sent a dicpic to show them how wrong they were

THE SELF EDGE X SAMURAI X 3SIXTEEN SEXSX3S27 CAPSULE COLLECTION - THE REDLINERS We've come together with Samurai and 3sixteen, two very well known denim brands we've been working with for a combined 25 years to bring you a capsule collection inspired by our love of Japanese cars. Samurai has had a legitimate racing team building exclusively vintage JDM (Japan Domestic Market) cars for nearly two decades and the crew behind 3sixteen & Self Edge used to build street racing Toyotas and Hondas years ago. We always wanted to do a collaboration involving two different denim focused brands and bringing Samurai together with 3sixteen felt like a natural fit. All three entities worked on designing an all new Samurai denim from the ground up to create two jeans and a denim jacket which were made in Japan, along with a printed pocket t-shirt which was made in the USA with Japanese hardware accents. The denim is a 15oz Japanese selvedge denim with a natural and synthetic indigo dyed warp made of medium staple 100% Texas cotton fibers while the weft is made of a custom blend of natural un-bleached short staple cottons from Greece, Australia, and the USA. We went with a charcoal selvedge ID with a silver lamé thread, understated and very Samurai. The jean is finished with .950 sterling silver plated sakura buttons, Samurai original rivets, and ShoGyo-Mujo jacquard pocket bags, while the jacket is finished with original Samurai black snap buttons, an inner chest pocket, a heavyweight cowhide patch, a Samurai Motorclub tag, and a 100% cotton drawstring. You can find this collection of jeans, jackets, tees, and stickers now online and off-line. Shop the Collection Online: https://www.selfedge.com/3s-samurai-se
