big truck

I would leave the extant/extinct thing to that other brand and just go with fc or warehouse round about now but thats just my opinion.Thinking of a pair of warehouse myself at the moment so we will see who gets there first.

I overthink most things has to be said.

I'd never have guessed

try this - these might be the jeans you are after. Most are available through rakuten.jp or japanese stores. Of course, that comes with the risk attached to buying unseen but have to start somewhere and if you get measurements, its not so much of a gamble.

and they're ugly too

In fact, if hoggreaser checks out ebay, he could compile the desired 60s outfit with good priced LVC pieces. No chance of decent denim for £100 though unless it is used.

Anyone else seen the new All Saints x Crockett & Jones veldtschoen collaboration?

Anyone seen any shoes that look better with age recently?

3 blow outs in 8 months suggests that your jeans are too small or that you place unusual amounts of stress on that area e.g through cycling perhaps? Or you may just have ended up with a poor quality pair but that is most unlikely. Think about sizing up next time.

That is a fair point and I have read that also (think it was kiya who said it somewhere) although I doubt it would make any material difference in terms of how long the jeans would last if you waited a while before the first soak. How about a quick dip just to soften them up but limit shrinkage?

I just picked up a pair of RN04s and wanted to know if I can wait and wear for a few months without an initial soak. I am a little heavier now and the fit is comfortable...in a few months, I will be trimmed down and I expect the post-soak size to fit better. Is it ok to wait to soak a pair of unsanforized?

There are no rules about when to soak - you can wear them raw until they fall apart if you want. Of course, if you wear them and then wash or soak, they will shrink. General consensus is to soak or wash now, get shrinkage out of the way and they look/feel nicer too.

How you have managed to get a pair of Roys and not know all of this is baffling!

Oh no, christian is really indigo queen! (j/k)

So not the same.

Great video pwing. The guy really obsesses over the detail but good to see that he will be the getting the things well worn it. Profile looks even better in the video too.

If only the SE carried that very information. Oh, wait a minute...

IHBW - those riders look great. All different types of contrast too. Quite marked on the fly and great vintage look on the backside!

why not contact SE direct? You get an answer quicker and it looks better all round.

Those FH tees are a clothing miracle. I got the SE x Japan tee when they came out (4 years back) and have worn it weekly since. So its had countless washes. Still in perfect shape and no major signs of fade. A pity the SG tees are sized so small.

The internet is a bad thing in the hands of the wrong people.

Stronghold used to have them, dont know if they still have or indeed if theyre still trading.

Agreed, part of the fascination of denim is how the different cuts are worn by the wearer. I really like that Paul T has gone for a 60s dynamic and has had them shortened for that very reason. I think the look is perfect. Its not simply somebody wearing a pair of jeans, its putting together a look (no dig at setterman or bm either - I like setterman's looks too).

Great setting for the stadium Ray

PERFECT

Loving this contest even though it has still to begin!

Great touch with the patch and sufu names.

Will seriously consider ooe for my next pair of jeans.

No one likes a clever clogs

I cant even decipher what the second line of your post means.

i welcome marinebilly's post as a diversion. Its the first pic Ive seen of these apart from the stock shots and the profile looks good. Mind you, those IH boys buy and sell so quick, no wonder they dont care about 'age'

There is a thread for sizing questions - you could try there.
