DSB ‘47 I like that it’s very obvious the pocket flap was removed

Pre and post wash I can’t bring myself to holding out on washing anymore - if my wife doesn’t want shoes on our hardwood floor I’ll bet she definitely doesn’t want grease on our couch.

This denim is funny. It has a nice crunchy feel, yet the creases don't really set. Similar to FW I would say.

Meanwhile, patched over the opening to the left front pocket earlier this week with fabric from the cut off hem of one of my Tender Co. shirts, dyed w/ Prussian blue. I’ve stitched over a few seams, previously, but this is the first real repair—almost always is, for me. I really love how the pocket bag denim is fading; it’s a beautiful rich blue. Plus: photos before the upcoming wash, I think no. 5 or 6?

Day 2 in the Peaks with my lad Walked up Mam Tor… the plan had been to do it early but it was lashing down with rain… we so went later and there were tourists everywhere (ironic I know) Next year, I expect to be the smallest A present had been left at the car pfffff Even more ironically, passed this sign driving back… I did feel I’d been… Denime 10th anniversary ‘37s, Tezomeya and McCooys Daisy Mae… plus more meat Next day, we were in the lido at Haversage before 8am... dodging the blue-rinse old dear brigade swimming two abreast like CHiPs... only different as there were no motorbikes in the pool ... it was a invigorating start to the day Haversage main street And a really nice breakfast… (even more upmarket than Sharrow Vale Road Neal!!) Only 48 hours away... but it felt rejuvenating… the end!

@Maynard Friedman looks like some good wear on that there jacket... in fact, it's exactly the kind of thing denim enthusiasts might like to stare at on a denim forum 😉

Lots of older and some unknown old brands here. Something for you @Double 0 Soul? http://ryunogarage.g2.xrea.com/collection/jeans/jeans-col-b/jeans-col-b.html

Button reinforcement on my Eternal Type II, not selvedge though. No similar reinforcement on my TCB 30s jacket.

Selvedge cloth at the rivet on the inside of the chest pocket. I've only seen this on Freewheelers' 506 and 507. Is this FWs taking artistic licence with this little detail or are they the only ones to have bothered to replicate? The original Levi's jackets have the size tag above the leather patch and I have also only seen that on FW's jackets.

Disclaimer: following is google translate from the book, so possibly some thing is lost in translation. This happened after the armistice between the Korean and Japanese wars, so it is outside the scope of this book, but in February 1955, the industry's standards for denim weight suddenly changed. The specifications of denim haven't changed, the calculation method has changed. According to Figure C5-1 in the newspaper, the area of denim fabric, "28 inches wide x 36 inches long" (=0.78 x 1.0 yard), was previously used as the standard for weight (ounces), but this was changed to "36 inches wide x 36 inches long" (=1.0 x 1.0 yard). The newspaper emphasized that there was no change in the fabric itself. It seems that both workwear manufacturers and denim manufacturers responded to this change at the same time. Until then, denim manufacturers had used a 28-inch woven width as the standard, and it seems that they had customarily used the old standard value of "28 x 36 inches" (=0.78 x 1.0 yard) because it was easy to manage on site. As time passed, the performance of looms improved and wider denim could be woven, so it may have been unified into a new standard value of "36 x 36 inches" (= 1.0 x 1.0 yard) which is easier to convert for denim with different woven widths. After the Korean War ended in a ceasefire, denim production increased and various types of denim began to circulate, and February 1955 was the time when the industry standardized the labeling system. Looking at advertisements from workwear manufacturers at the time, we can see that starting in February 1955, denim weights gradually changed from "9-10 ounces" to "13-14 ounces" (Lee, Wrangler, Montgomery Ward, Sreas, J.C. Penney, and others also changed). It seems likely that Levi's 501XX guarantee tickets also changed from "10 ounces" around this time. Also, in "Lee Riders Lot 101 (c.1955)" (see page 29), which is shown at the beginning of this book, As mentioned above, flashers marked 133/4 ounces were later labeled "SQUARE YARD WEIGHT." One wonders whether this sudden change caused any confusion in the workwear industry, but it appears that nothing unusual occurred. For example, in 1951, seven major denim manufacturers gathered under the name of the Denim Advice Committee, again at the urging of the Office of Price Stabilization, a new organization very similar to OPA. Since the heads of each manufacturer had an opportunity to meet, it probably didn't cause any problems for the industry to change the ounce notation for denim all at once. I had noticed that the weight of postwar denim had increased over time, but I had assumed that denim had become heavier because of more advanced looms. I was surprised to find that it was simply the surface area being measured that had become larger. Ed Cray's statement on page 134 that "denim weight has increased to 13.5 ounces" is probably referring to the weight after the weight standard changed. I think Cray heard about this in an interview with someone from Levi's, but the person he was interviewing probably didn't know when the weight had increased. Although this is a double standard, both values were actually listed in the official denim specifications published in 1925. Table C5-2 is the specification sheet for unshrunk denim and includes weight data, warp and weft thread counts (per inch), and tear strength. There are two types of ounces for "Weight" in this table. The left side (Per square yard) is the weight in ounces of "1.0 x 1.0 yard", and the right side (Per linear yard, 28 inches wide) is the weight in ounces of "0.78 x 1.0 yard". Incidentally, the number for "Yards per pound, 28 inches wide" is the length in yards per 28 inches of denim x 1 pound (= 16 ounces). As you can see, even before the war, there were various ways of expressing weight according to the workplaces where denim was made. These official specifications were subsequently revised in 1929, 1931, 1936, 1944, and 1961, but all of them basically contained the same several different ways of expressing weight. However, despite the existence of these specifications, I have never seen any pre-1955 workwear or denim manufacturer product documentation that explicitly states that the ounce standard is "square yards" (of course, I may just not be able to find it). And there is one more mystery. In fact, if you convert the numbers in this table of the old and new denim values into the area of the denim, the numbers don't match when the width of the denim is 28 inches. This is true when the width is 28.8 inches. There seems to be an undiscovered truth to this problem. The nominal 28 inches may have actually been 28.8 inches.

Here's his website, it covers a few of his other projects: https://rebuilt.jp/ Need to wash and take some photos of my pair, I enjoy them but they're the slightest bit too tapered at the hem in my opinion. @julian-wolf I think he's paused on taking orders for the time being, however I haven't spoken with him in awhile now. Should reach out and see how he's doing. He is still making the YM Factory tees, and I've never seen them without a pocket. But he's made some other variations without a pocket, never tried them out. There's some more info on the website.

@PrettyBoyTony Here are some janky progress pics on my 0105 super smooth. It was tough to get the true color to come through on the full length pictures - these close up shots did a better job of capturing that. About 6-7 months in with ~5 washes. I'll take some better ones down the line when I get some more wear in. Plenty of texture even with the lighter weight, enjoying them a lot so far.

There was a buzz in the air around our way yesterday I missed the main action but my wife was a honey and took some footage Bees had migrated from under the eaves of a local house to nest in a tree Nothing could be done to move them on while they were living in the eaves However, once in the tree, they could be moved safely... the local beekeeper was contacted The queen bee ended up safely in the bucket... and her loyal subjects soon followed The beekeeper left the bees to swarm into the bucket for a few hours Then came back, put them all in the blanket, into her car boot and took them to her hive to live happily ever after Win-win-win situation - happy bees, happy beekeeper, happy home-owner... Quite a sweet ending eh 😄

hello there! Apologies for being a bit MIA @UkeNo! congrats! You will always remember these jeans as the jeans you were wearing when your kid was born! Ha! first proper update. Finally after much struggling I've managed to loose some weight and I was brave enough to give the jeans a proper 40° C right side out wash. Pretty happy with the results, I think I have enough contrast now to start washing very frequently. I absolutely adore these jeans! Probs my favourite jean cut. I forgot how hard is to properly capture color with a camera. It's been awhile! @beautiful_FrEaK fab marbling action going!

Finally took my one of a kind hand made embroidered denim vest to the tailor to be altered. Short people problems. Perfect length now. This old Coke jacket will be next. Temporarily pinned and cropped by about 3 inches. Looks great now. Fortunately the zipper was about 4 inches shorter than jacket itself.
