Good spot. Absolutely right.

I’ve got a lined LVC type 1 and Edwin-made Stormrider. More lining sag on the LVC, negligible on the Stormrider. That’ll be because I’ve hot washed the LVC a couple of times whereas cool washes only for the Lee. It’s not problematic though. The saggy lining isn’t visible nor gives off a puffer jacket look. In fact it feels a bit cosier. Takes ages to line dry - stick it on the radiator.

Not sure if these screenshots or the translations are of any use @Dr_HeechTaken from the Lightning Warehouse mag from 2020:

Great question! LVC 1933 - first saw them in a shop in Birmingham called A2 (now sadly closed) and knew they were special straight away. The wonky arcuates, buckle back, NRA tag and the rigid denim. First time I’d ever seen anything like it. I had no clue how to look after them though and washed them like regular jeans. Also back in them days I used to let jeans drag under my trainers, so the hem turned to rags after a while.

@Dr_Heech Black here Doc http://item-jkstyle.shop-pro.jp/?pid=171917019 and green http://item-jkstyle.shop-pro.jp/?pid=147017733 (but only have an XL in this) Junky don’t do international shipping but going through Zen Market is stress free enough

Absolutely. I don’t think I’d pay full price these days at £90/£100 when something like TCB can be picked up for c£140, but with a decent discount why not. This black pair were actually £14 new on eBay as they were seconds :-)

I’m aware that my taste in Indian restaurants is a bit out of touch and unPC, so… Fjallraven, Warehouse, bog-standard Levi’s , Belstaff

@DavidThoreau I’ll give my two cents on this (which no one asked for ) I think I might know the reason. LVC aren’t really accurate repro - the 47 you mention are slimmed down materially. The 54 and 66 have pretty aggressive tapers. The most stark example of this are my LVC 47 next to my SC 47 - it’s hard to believe they’re repro’ing the same jean. All this means that when compared to similar models of Japanese makers, who consider fit as equally important as whether a jean uses period correct rivets, actuates etc, LVC tend to fit how you’ve described above. It may be worth looking at some of the modified Japanese jeans as opposed to straight repro to get the best of both worlds for you - TCB often do slimmed down versions of their cuts and Warehouse do slimmer jeans. You probably know all this anyway!

Cheers. Found it to be true.

I see no pie.

@srudy & @bartlebyyphonics Sorry for your loss guys. Thoughts are with you.

That’s a shame @CSL I’m having the same with some RW engineer boots and am trying to get the steel toe removed to make a bit of space, but struggling to find anyone willing to do it.

I had something similar where my feet got slowly wider, maybe as the rest of me grew slowly wider with home working… Anyway, I took a few of my shoes to a local cobbler - he stretched them on a machine for 48 hours each and now they’re all good. May not work for the boots but probably would for the shoes - definitely worth checking out as an option. Only cost me £5 per pair so not the end of the world if you don’t get enough stretch. You can also buy shoe stretchers.

Thanks very much chaps @MJF9 jacket can be found here: http://item-jkstyle.shop-pro.jp/?pid=172260752 @bartlebyyphonics the leather looks great, especially teamed with the Orslow
