My guess is that the workers don't know they are suppose to not charge sales tax outside California. I would suspect you could get a refund if you contacted them.

EBay rawlings heart of hide or hoh.

How come some selvedge "seams" are wider than others? I have two pairs of 1955. One pre distressed and one raw. The raw ones, from this season, have a thicker selvedge. Info?

This has to do with how they were sewn. You can make that selvedge seam as wide as you want. I am pretty sure there are wide variations historically due to different people sewing the jeans.

I thought it was for expansion. If you have a fat neck you just button the second chinstrap buttonhole to the top button. Mf pictures show this.

Oops.

Contact MF they might be able to hook you up.

Looking so good in that pic that I had to come out of hiding to post about it.

Beautiful hickory stripe shirt up there. I think, as someone pointed out to me before, the cigarette pocket is not sewn at the bottom that way. Take a look at the workshirts thread and I believe the official patent for the cigarette pocket is in there.

Dude that is amazing. One of the best simple denim shirts I have ever seen. I love the selvedge detailing.

Howdy, long time lurker here.

Started these in the summer, went with a trouser cut for a little variation. I bought Cone mills redline selvedge and a blue( cant remember the varying weights, but they are noticeably different), used one type on the front panels and the other on the back to test and compare the wear on both. They have been completed since these pictures but due to my extraordinary ability in smashing phones and cameras with great ease I have been unable to photograph the finished article.

These were my second attempt at trousers, and as you can see I had a little trouble with thread tension on my tiny overlocker which has left me with unkept seams.

This is pretty late, but where did you get your pattern for these? I have been looking for a decent trouser pattern, but can't find one.

how much fabric did you need to make this shirt? im thinking about making one myself and i just need to know how much fabric to purchase thanksssss

Sorry I missed this. I needed about 3.5 yds of fabric for this shirt. I think it could have been less, but i was pretty careless when it came to cutting out the pattern.

It's not officially sold retail. But google within this site, there is a company supplies it short-run - rnrswitch has bought some, I've seen it in the hand and it looks great. I've not seen anyone selling the Cone duck.

Edit: just remembered, the company is premium denim outlet - altho I'm not sure they still do the 20s fabric, which has a code something like XX20. Look in this thread for more info.

I still got a load of this stuff.

Here's a technical question about the Levi's arcuate. If you can't patent clothing design, why is the arcuate part of Levi's trademark? It was clearly designed to keep the pockets from "puckering" a certain way. The red tab has no function, so I can see that being a part of the trademark.

This could be true. Since the arcuate stitching is along the bias, it very well could be a decorative form of "stay-stitching.". Stay stitching is intended to prevent stretching and skewing along the bias of the fabric, which could happen if people load their back pockets up with goodies.

I thought this was called the denim utility shirt and pre-dates the CPO. Not sure though.

THAT IS A CPO MAN, VERY NICE

How so? I'd say neither is better nor worse, just different.

I'm not gonna even dignify this with a response.

Lofgren has some pretty nice suspenders. Fairly well priced.

I think some are listed on eBay on his shop.

I think denim jackets when worn well have better fading than jeans.

Show off. No need to rub it in.

There's a good post over at denimbro about Sansome's visit over to the Roy studio.

Ooops. Shit that sucks.

and craft is closed too.

I love the fit of the greasers. they look perfect.

For some reason, i thought the craft carried left field clothes.

I wouldn't put ringring as an overblown personality, but sometimes people prefer some privacy. We are lucky that ringring every so often shares some denim knowledge with us.

I want this shirt that hombre's wearing. I have been looking for a decent BPP shirt since my soledad brothers shirt is falling apart.

What ever happened to the 7 pairs of chonies for the winner?

I knew you were gonna end up with them. Big ups. Hopefully they look good with that new signal vest.
