Looks like we’re getting some wrangler-repro from TCB: http://tcbjeans.com/2022/04/15/36798

I’m liking their jacket. They’re going for a pre 60s wrangler blue bell, a broken twill version wouldve been pretty sweet.

Hurry, most sizes sold out…

Trying on some old pairs … bought in early 06, wore them for about 2 years all in over two stints. Alot of patching esp around crotch, and new pocket bags.

Looks like Jean Shop is no more but guy that owned them saved the White Oak draper looms and helped start Vidalia Mills!

not sure, but thats what they call their lot 402 on the product page . . . just compared to the 01xx its a slimmer leg, less of a highrise, and not quite as anti-fit. the 01xx is definitely the traditional, fuller cut. hope that helps some. you can also check the stats they list for the 402 cut http://ooe-yofukuten.com/402.html.

thanks, yeah I think its one of the newer duck fabrics they recently got . . . . i'm really liking that 02 fit

lot #8102 jeans

fabric 81 duck cotton, 60s/70s fit

paul, i'm so sorry to hear about you getting ripped off like that. I'm sure whoever did it will be made responsible, its just a shame you have to waste your time and money enforcing a right an honest businessman wouldn't have taken advantage of in the first place.

i remember when the levi's thing broke, and getting all pissed off. Not that levi's didn't have the right, but that they were so short-sighted in being that hard-fisted. Then I started noticing the backlash and hype around getting your hands on all the japanese denim that it was assumed would be switching up some design elements. suddenly everything was limited edition. . . It appeared there might be an air of self-promotion wrapped up in such an unfortunate event, and it bummed me out. it's sad whenever the line between sharing info with a community and self-promotion gets blurred. at the end of the day the world didnt' stop, the same japanese denim co's are still making and selling denim (as far as i know), and some merchants were able to turnover some inventory a little faster than they would have otherwise.

speaking of sonny...

best superdenim thread of 08.

35x36 2101XX

just saw the curious case of benjamin button; its a little too soon to call the image iconic, but its pretty badass nonetheless . . . there's also a decent amount of levi repro love in the film.
