Baggy 50s five months in, before first wash (after the one wash). My plan was to wait until the war ends to wash them, but my baby daughter had a peeing accident, and so to the washer they go (together with my dreams of having combs on a wide pair of jeans). I kept the sand in the picture because it came from the back pocket 😅

Denime 101B There is a matching jacket on ebay UK right now...

Maybe not such a guess after all. Lee Japan repro of Prototype Westerner (before its official launch) with inside black waistband tag (not shown) and Lee with R on pocket label.

So I ended up grabbing a pair of the OA01xx-0825 since they were just sitting at Barnstormer. The exchange rate was too good to pass up and I've yet to be stung by tariffs. 🤞 These got delivered the day I went to the hospital, so haven't had much of a chance to look them over yet. I have a pair of OA01xx's from two years ago that are still raw, so I can compare the Amoskeag directly with their mainline fabric. Sized up to 40 on these since they say this fabric will shrink even further, we'll see if that pays off whenever I get around to washing these. Still pretty damp outside (we've had a ton of rain in the last week) so not a ton of photos, I can provide additional pictures if anyone is interested.

So, at which point do we start calling them ‘FW repro’ rather than ‘FW counterfeit’? 😅

Very cool deadstock S600 "Bronco Buster's" circa 2009ish that I've just received from Yahoo Auctions (featuring the hair on hide patch with the brand logo): https://imgbox.com/y1AA8viM https://imgbox.com/rbOMCSik https://imgbox.com/sys9eexy https://imgbox.com/Owh1urzn https://imgbox.com/2bvB6D24 https://imgbox.com/iPwgHbIx https://imgbox.com/uxXkmR3w https://imgbox.com/hoWeGhYx https://imgbox.com/T74I3Et6 Really looking forward to putting some wear on these.

Thanks for putting these up- I hadn't seen them! I also hadn't thought of this style as a reefer, but you're totally right that it is. It's called the Bourd Shirt (for Anthony), and was based on a chef's jacket. The entire front panel can button on (as in the grey photos) or off (in the yellow), and is reversible, with check fabric and a zipped pocket on the reverse side. I just got my Working order in and was photographing it yesterday. Edits today, lots to do Thanks also @merzbotfor posing your 903, looking lovely 🙂

@Sympathy-For-The-Denim The jacket is all yellow stitching apart from the waistband chain stitch and bottom button box which has a brown colour thread -

In the midst of moving, jeans been getting a workout. We bought a house!

Which one do you like better?

WH Lot DD-2001 (Banner Denim) with the FW 1946-46 Lot 506XX

Lot 506XX 1946-47 compared with the WH DD Bannerdenim 1947 one

Guess that's what not having a job does to you, I guess knit a sweater for my wife, last sweater took me 14 months on/off, this one 2 months and it went way smoother. Looks an fit are levels above as well Bottom button is missing, will be added soon.

Thanks bud! Been quite the year, this 2026. Found out we were pregnant, the day after I received the engagement ring. Got engaged, and have a son coming in September.

Yeah 1945 has different weft, it’s more beige in tone as well. There is a bit more detail on the differences in the Clutch YouTube video for 1945 I think

Exactly my thoughts! It wasn't in the order we were aiming for, but all good things! Makes the competition jeans, for me, even a little more special. Washed them today for the next part of the move. Got a bit of a road trip tomorrow. Sonoma County here we come!

The second Lee item l recently purchased was this 1970's Lee jacket -

Launched in 1926, the 91 overall gained Lee's famous 4 in one pocket around 1929. Both the Lee labels on these overalls has an R after Lee only, for Registered trademark. Think the R occurred around 1958/59 but am not entirely sure. I always wanted a Lee denim garment made from Jelt denim (Cone 818) to compare it to my 70s Wrangler coveralls which are made from Broken twill denim.

I recently got these Warehouse X Unique Jean Store collaboration Jeans in hand! They use the 1947 DSB cut but the fabric is banner denim 😮‍💨 This is perfect for me because I need a really long rise for comfort reasons so the 1001xx never really suited me, however I’ve always wanted to try the almost mythical banner denim and these Jeans fit the bill perfectly. I soaked them in the bathtub on the highest temperature setting for 60 minutes and agitated every 20 minutes. This gave me exactly the maximum shrinkage listed by Warehouse: Warehouse 1947 Banner 34 Measurements before and after soak: Waist: 91cm => 85cm Front Rise: 33.5cm => 32cm Thigh: 34.8cm => 33.5cm Knee (34cm down from crotch seam): 26cm => 25cm Inseam L: 89.8cm => 83cm Inseam R: 90cm => 83cm Outseam L: 121.5cm => 112.5cm Outseam R: 121.5cm => 112.5cm Leg Opening L: 23.5cm => 22.5cm Leg Opening R: 23.5cm => 23cm
