Mr Black

I was planning on popping into Selfridges London after work today anyway. Will check these out. I personally think the pocket flap looks pretty good, but maybe just on one side rather than 2. Agree with everyone else- the lotus flower design is a bit OTT and that would definately put me off. On those jeans I would suggest either the same design but in a dark colour- black or navy, or a simpler outline. Quite like the selvage back loop. Would also like to see a straight fit with that detailing.

And definately need to be chainstitched, but with a variety of leg lengths

If you need someone from here to test out a donor pair for fading and general wearability i'm more than happy to offer my services

The jeans the dude posted previously are obvious fakes. The jacket looks good, but it's hard to tell without further pics. If it's a fake, it's a good one. Some inside labels would help, as would some closeups on the hardware.

No worries. will do that shortly.

Yeah- hard to say. If it is a fake, the quality of the detailing and the denim is top notch. Makes you wonder if (assuming it's fake) the fakers couldn't just produce their own brand rather than knock-offs!

Evisu has something similar and few other really nice denim jackets.

Just so happen to have one for sale...

Cream Evisu jacket. Size medium. Gorgeous cream/off white twill jacket. Sort of inbetween a 506/507 but with rivets to pleats instead of stitching. Style number is I think 1047, but the leather patch is a bit faded. No idea when this was from but i've had it for about 5 years and only worn it a couple of times.

Still kicking myself for not buying a deadstock pleat front blouse when I had the chance!!!

My girlfriend has one of those. Very well worn in and nice and tatty (but not TOO tatty). I picked it up for her for a very small handful of £ some years back. Will post a pic sometime.

Nice shoes Duck. May I ask?

Seems like the US gets more washed crap no?

I think I can live with that:D

That Menlo leather jacket is the dogs bollocks!! Don't remember seeing it over here in blightly!

Are the US and european collections quite different? I've had a look on the US site and they're seeling tees with some old LEVIS ad artwork. These aren't available in the UK.

For those of you that are London based- selfridges are selling off some 37's & 55's for £65 in both raw and pissed about with.

Thanks

For a good tailor this shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure that the tailor really understands what you want, cause possibilities are that he ends up cutting off the selvage seam.

That would result in brick thru window:cool:

(joking of course)

Hi, Got a pair of Japanese selvage Duffer jeans I bought at a sample sale some time ago.

On reflection, I think they're a bit too wide in the Knee/hem for my liking. Does anyone know if it's possible/easy for a good quality tailor to take apart the inner seam, reshape the leg slightly and put things together again in the same format it came, or would specialist equpment be needed to replicate the stitching.

Many thanks

Martin

Yeah- please do mate. Would be interesting to see. Never bought black jeans before, but the raw colour of these is so good.

Gem Art- toying with getting the carhartt roundup blacks. Lovely looking jeans. And so cheap :DAny pointers as to how they fade. Do they go any bluer?

Some of my jackets...

LVC S506 & 507 (may sell the S506 soon- if anyone wants to make an offer...)

My absolute favourite denim jacket. Never seen a drop of water and never will ...Sugarcane wrangler 11MJ. Also pictured a recently purchased 1937 lee cowboy
