Much appreciated, Doc 🫡 Another one I saw yesterday and I just have to post. Photo by Dorothea Lange, from the Library of Congress: San Francisco, Calif. Apr. 1942. Pals at Weill Public School - Yuichi Sumi, left, of Japanese ancestry, and Tommy Wong of Chinese descent, on one of the last days before evacuation of Californians of Japanese ancestry, under US Army Exclusion Order No. 20, Sumi will be housed in a War Relocation Authority center for the duration of the war. A gut-wrenching story that should not soon be forgotten. Yuichi looks to be wearing a crisp 506 (or 213?), or another brand's knockoff. Tommy in a very interesting v-neck sweat, with pockets on the waistband ribbing?

Apologies for the double photo post, but figured I would follow up here. I’m not really one for reviews, especially on a brand new pair - but since there aren’t any other impressions here I’ll note a few. First - this was the first time I did two washes before wearing. First one was a steaming, and agitated (eh, @Double 0 Soul) soak for about an hour, then chucked them in the warm wash and pulled them before the spin cycle. They dried up nice and crispy but still had some room in the waist, which was fine - I did buy what I thought would be a size up, and that seemed pretty true. But, I wanted to see if I could maybe get anything else out so I did a hot aggressive wash (pulled before spin again), and the waist did tighten up a bit more. They’re still an oversized pair on me, belt needed, but again that’s what I went for. I’ve mostly avoided marbling - the rough plan for these is not to let them hit water again for a good long while, esp as they will only be worn sporadically. Conclusion on sizing and fit is that they’re just about in line with the sugar canes and Freewheelers of the world. Compared to the WMJ I’m used to right now this denim is more substantial - which makes sense as it’s listed as closer to 15 oz washed. I actually kinda like the arcs, though I’m not sure I would if they were stitched. The pockets give the impression of being slightly on the narrower side, esp the coin pocket. Back pockets too, but still hold a wallet fine. I forget what I hemmed them to - I think 33” pre soak, but it should have been more. Ah well. There’s a sort of black enamel coating on the laurel wreath fly buttons which is a bit unique, curious to see how that ages over time. Chainstitch runoff at the waist is a nice touch - no other crazy run offs or dangly strings, everything else is pretty proper and clean more like Freewheelers I’d say. Maybe I’ll get some time for more detail photos later but in general, I approve!

Real McCoy's 600 Ranch sub-brand - any idea what era these are? 1990s pre-Joe McCoy maybe? Jacket might be a nice wranglerpro option for someone? not too expensive and a reasonable size https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/auction/yahoo/input/h1194238684/ Arcs! Cords with arcs

The reason l think they're a cinchback model is because firstly the arc looks stitched on but there's no diamond in the centre and secondly because the red tab is placed high up almost under the bar-tacking which is generally a feature of the 1937 501XX. Just a guess though - could've had the cinch strap completely removed as well as the other pair? Great sets of photos regardless.

Thank you, @Dr_Heech! I was hoping one of the resident historians would chime in to confirm my suspicions. What gives the match strike pair away as being a 37 rather than an early war model? From that angle it doesn't look like there is, or ever was, a cinch. Here's another shot of him.

Shit, it is solely great fits on this page! Well done guys! Hope I don’t lower the quality tooo much:) Danton / Sunray Sportsware / Duke (non-wiz) / WHxHinoya disregard the footware, it was taken in backyard

Junky seems to have the current jeans line up of Wrangler Archives minus the jackets https://wrangler-jeans.jp/features/archives_pc.html (also note the Edwin Co., Ltd copyright at the bottom of the page). I think the consensus at least with the Lee stuff is that it's a good repro? Better job than say LVC does with Levi's. I think they did a 1948 prototype model repro at some point as well as the 50s stuff, but might have to look second hand for those.

Yeah buttons look like 213, sad story.

First pic is making me feel good about getting a narrow width embossed western belt from Codina kinda specifically to wear with my Sugar Cane 42s 🤠

MASH M35 denim dungarees about eight years old now. These are reproductions of the dungarees worn by Civilian Conservation Corp workers and US Army enlisted soldier from the 1930's through the 40's. They started out as raw denim but are gradually fading nicely.

Some shots of my M-35 pullover. These are made by Kaoru same as the M-54 jeans and Type IIs and the Bartack Alls stuff. There was also a different version for Foremost with the proper tin US Army buttons. I don't mind having donut buttons instead, less likely to drop off 😄 denim is pretty hairy (with a few extra dog hairs thrown in) Think the hem roping is going to be bananas.

Flat head, canes, lone wolf. I love this shirt!

@Hopethisoneisnttaken Thanks. I posted about them recently in the Big John thread; they’re the XX801S chinos. Just got around to hemming them yesterday evening. Today’s my first day wearing them out!

Nice. My guess is a 213.

https://youtu.be/zdsGXd5enKg?si=G7dmSw-wW5AsS7Gf Good interview, I enjoy he allowed E to control the narrative. Nice to know i’m not the only one constantly fidgeting with the belt straps. Unrelated but, J79-KI looks promising. Happy to see them using cotton again, does anyone have any feedback on KI?

Not counting the afore mentioned chariot races, the first Olympic sensation I remember was Mark Spitz the swimmer who won seven golds at the 1972 Olympics.

Back on the 13.7 oz which arrived from Bears today. You can see that despite both sizes being a 33 the SS on the right is bigger. Few days ago my wife who hardly ever comments on my jeans/clothes asked me what was up with the back of my pants 😅 The SS just bags too much on me unfortunately

A couple shots by Marion Post Wolcott. If you zoom in you can read the lot and size numbers. Match strikes on the right hamstring. Patch removed, cinch as well, or possibly an S501 with watch pocket rivets.

It feels cold back here in the UK so i wore a pair of jeans for the first time in ages.. Hakusan Orgueil Sack Coat Dapper's Indigo Dot Devi's TMC Railman

I’m around 2017–2018, I had some pretty bad experiences with a pair (actually, with two pairs) of the RARE R008 jeans that left me with a nasty taste in my mouth, but I always really wanted to like Big John and to believe that I’d just gotten unlucky. Anyway, I’m finally giving them another try. They recently released a slew of things in a duck and a chino both made fully from Sally Fox’s naturally colored cotton. I’ve probably posted about it before, but: Although I’ve never actually met Sally, her main plot of land is right next to the farm that I worked for through a lot of my 20s, in a great Northern California Valley that I hold close to home—so, even beyond its intrinsic coolness factor, I’ve always been really drawn to everything I see that’s made from her cotton. These are the XX801S (41) “XX EXTRA CHINOS TROUSER CLASSIC”. I bought them from joenet.co.jp, which I’d never heard of before, but who were very helpful over email and were quick to ship. (The Big John web store does offer direct international shipping, but with an egregious markup.) They’re a true wide–straight fit, and I’m expecting to need to take around 2” off the hems unless they shrink quite a bit—they’re in the wash now, so we’ll see soon. Here’s the initial fit, feat. Tezomeya tee + Town View mocs

Oh, I had one shortly after this was taken.

I got these a few weeks ago and have hardly had them off long enough to get good pictures, but here are a few. Size 29 M41057, at this point my favorite pair of M-Series jeans that I’ve gotten so far. The fit is perfect! A couple pics from a hike to an alpine lake earlier:
