The saddest part is when the handling fee is as much as the customs fee. That hurts so hard.

Great link. It makes me want to go on an LVC spree, although the sad fact is I’d look nowhere near as cool as that chap.

Agree with this. I have both 47 and 54, although they’re in one of many boxes in the loft following a recent move so I can’t compare measurements unfortunately. The taper is pretty aggressive and the fit, other than being slim, isn’t really comparable to the 47. Rises are pretty similar from memory. Do they still make the 1967 505? That may be more like what you’re after.

The Sherpa chat reminds me of the Donkey Jacket that LVC released a few years back for crazy money. It prompted me to go onto eBay to pick one up for a few quid. My Dad, who used to work for Sandwell Council (for non-UK members Sandwell is a beautiful area in the centre of England that boasts such tourist hotspots as Smethwick and Tipton), found the whole thing mind boggling.

The price of the Cisco jeans I don’t care how long the lovely artisans at Kapital have spent rigorously distressing them, that is crazy.

Just noticed TCB have released 50s slim in black denim. Believe these are the first black jeans they’ve made. Currently trying to move house so I’m as tight as a fish’s arse but hope to get these soon. https://tcbjeans.stores.jp/items/5b3ca8155496ff7ce7000fcb

Oh ok, this makes sense. I’d always assumed that once the denim goes through any process it ceases to be unsanforised. Thanks all.

That’s just one-wash though right? Unsanforised is no wash? Maybe I’ve got it wrong the whole time.

I’m not sure how they can be unsanforised and one wash at the same time. Probably worth Denimio clarifying.

@i_denim My view on SC is they don’t go in for lots of marketing & gimmicks and just stick to a few (fantastic) core models, a tried and tested formula. This probably allows them to keep production and overhead costs in check, and so they can pass some of that on to the consumer. SC 47s are some of the best jeans out there I reckon.

From someone watching from the sidelines it’s fantastic to see this thread gaining traction again. Top stuff folks.

I think it’s just a case of telling Inuoe that you want him to hem them right up to your knees / thighs / arse depending on how adventurous you are.

What did you pick up? @mlwdp

I’ve used Western River. No problems. Edit: Scrap that sorry, I bought from Masuya. Almost used Western River fit the WR CSF jeans but they were too steep in the end. W River were super helpful though and even cool after I backed down because of the cost. The owner of West Ride also owns Western River.

Could be wrong, but I always thought the below was the official European site, which then links to a stockist - Togged. Both of these sites seem to have plenty of info in English. http://www.sugarcanejeans.co.uk/
