MIz, hope you and your family are safe and sound.

I'd wear that jacket in a heartbeat as well, but they don't make "American Man" size, haha. I remember WH having the same (or type I) bull embroidery jacket a few years ago. My older 1001xx had the bull head patch, but you could barely make it out since the tag got REALLY dark.

Got the 700s yesterday. Threw 'em in the wash on my lunch break, wearin 'em today. Been too long since I had a pair of WH!

Just used my Fullcount contest winnings on a pair of 700s!

I haven't had a new pair of Warehouse since Jan '07, so I'm pretty excited!

Yeah, I really just found out before I posted. I was as shocked as anyone else. I like the way my pair turned out, but never really expected to win. Gordon said they were looking for (paraphrasing here) a traditional fade, instead of something that looked intentional. Now I gotta figure out what to choose for winning! I'm not complaining, it's a nice "problem" to have, haha

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!

Just got on the BiG site... I won the contest- WTF?!?!?!?!

Adum and Setterman's pairs look great!

I've just been leery of leaving jeans in the spin cycle as I pretty much ruined a nice pair of sugar canes a few years ago.

Hm. I always throw my jeans in the washing machine for all the cycles. Never had a problem with whatever jeans- Warehouse, PBJ, LVC, Fullcount. Wash 'em inside out.

Also, the washer agitates the crap out of the denim, giving more shrinkage than a soak in my experience. The denim has to get WET, and agitation helps the fabric get fully saturated.

Fuck 'em! Claim the money!!!

Thanks LL. I already redid the inseams near the crotch. I need to repair some of the denim itself. I don't mind doing it. I'm good at it, it's just really time consuming.

LL, here's something you can probably appreciate- Looks like I'm getting a couple of Linhof 4x5s in the near future. A Technika (with four Technika marked Schneider lenses/cams) and a (I think) Color Technika. Complete with rollbacks, finders, etc...

Just posted my, uh, final exam pics http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showpost.php?p=2183156&postcount=18.

Here's my pair. Didn't wear them much for the last month of the contest. I need to reinforce the crotchal area in a pre-emptive strike against a hole, and I haven't had the motivation/time to do it yet. I just got another pair of the 0105cs since i liked them so much. Anyway, on with the pics:

New and old 0105c pairs. I'll post full final exam tomorrow when I can edit the pics on a way faster machine.

Got my second pair of 0105c in the mail today. Will post final pics tomorrow, with new pair for comparison.

Need to get pics of mine. my year ended last week. Haven't worn them much in month or so. I need to reinforce near the crotch before they get anymore wear.

I ordered another pair of the 0105s earlier today. It was a toss up between the Fullcounts and the Warehouse 700s. I decided to get the Fullcounts while they are available.

New Originals?!

Nigel and the rest of Spinal Tap fidnuh be suin!

Bumpus maximus. Make me a reasonable offer!

Bumpus maximus.

Shameless plug, 37 501s in Supermarket:

Bought these a few years ago from BiG. They are freshly cold washed, so they're ready to go. Some wear on the right front pocket and upper inseam, but it's nothing terrible, and it's easy to fix. Denim is really cool- approx. 12 oz, nice and streaky. They do have a little room to stretch, or wear a belt and don't worry about it. Asking $150 (or make a reasonable offer) + freight. I’d prefer USPS money orders, but I will accept PayPal. My email is: bijan77063(AT)yahoo.com Here are the measurements:

Waist: 36"

Inseam: 32"

Front Rise: 11"

Rear Rise: 15"

Leg Opening: 8.5"

Bought these last year from a fellow SF'er. Really never floated my boat. Finally got off my ass and am putting them up for sale. Tagged 38x38. No real wear/creases. They are freshly cold washed, so they're ready to go. They do have room to stretch, or wear a belt and don't worry about it. Asking $130 + freight. I’d prefer USPS money orders, but I will accept PayPal. My email is: bijan77063(AT)yahoo.com Here are the measurements:

Waist: 36"

Inseam: 33.5"

Front Rise: 13"

Rear Rise: 16"

Leg Opening: 9.25"

I soaked mine in hot water for about an hour. Could have soaked for another hour. No soap/No dryer.[/quote

I know this question may be elementary but I do own a pair of 2201xx and 4901xx and always wanted to know why is it important to soak your denim before wearing? Why would I want to loose that much dye befor even taking a step in them?

Try searching. But here's a short answer- you should soak to get rid of some of the starch. If not, you may break the threads in the denim. You won't lose any indigo with a plain old soak.

On the question of leg twist, why does leg twist affect the left leg on right hand twill jeans more than the right leg? This is true on all of my LVC and is true on my cursory survey of Paul T's book and various Levi's vintage jeans I checked.

The Superdenim Encyclopedia doesn't seem to have a thread on this topic.

The denim twists the same amount on both sides. It's the way the legs are cut that makes it appear that the left leg twists more.

That is some BRUTAL ring-around-the-collar!

I think I'm just gonna have to get another pair of the 0105s when the contest is over. These are GREAT jeans.

Just put mine in the wash ('66 501)
