22cm on the size 36, according to Naoki.

I don't know if I'm double posting this or not. My first attempt didn't go through. Anyway, '66 specs in size 36 courtesy of naoki:

"The waist is 46.5cm, upper thigh is 34cm, front rise is 30.5cm, back rise is 39cm and leg opening".

Be the same as your 55’s from experience. Where are you seeing 66 for sale? I’m after a new pair

Pants shop Avenue has the 66. I'm going to email naoki about the 37.

I´m on the look out for this varsity by SC/TOYO (m16490 or m16490.). Probably a 42/large will do, if anyone know of one, please let me know. 

BTW, not to dash your hopes for a Toyo production, if it never pans out for you, Aero makes enough of a dead ringer (minus a few things that you can probably customize into it):

I'm not sure about that one specifically, but Pants Shop Avenue does have Toyo varsities under the "Oriental Tops" (Google translate) section of Toyo goods. I haven't looked through all their offerings.

Interesting.I'll have to double check. But I cannot do the 3005 and 3009 in the same size. My sold 3009 in size 36 had a raw 13.5" thigh and shrunk down to 13". My 3005 starts with a raw upper thigh of 13.75" My raw 3009 in 38 is similar in upper thigh to my 3005 size 36.

It's possible that when FH gets up to the bigger sizes the thigh measurements between the two models shifts in favor of the 3005 being bigger.

I have no idea if the Kaihara denim Levis uses for its bespoke program has any relation to the Kaihara used in their LVC line, but here are some pics of the 14oz Kaihara denim used for their bespoke program (all images from Permanent Style). It's nice. For the comparison to Cone:

Anyone know of the SC 41872 - the SC 1947 model in deadstock fabric, made in the US?

I just noticed them in the catalog cusswords linked to above. I never knew SC made a 13oz version of the 1947.

Is the 13oz cut the same as the 14oz cut?

Are there any other UK sites that I can still buy Made in USA LVC apart from Levi's official and American Classics?

Levi's UK site just seems too confusing with the labelling.  

 

Aero Leather Clothing?

Unionmade is having 50% off sitewide, including everything LVC, of which they mainly have small sizes, except a 38 1966. It's a goldmine if you're a size 30.

BiG has 4 models up in one wash.

The 0105 is a mightily sized jean. Size 34 one wash has an 18" back rise. That's a lot of back rise. The leg opening is bigger by about 3/4 of an inch. The front rise seems bigger, as does the thigh and knee. Not a fan.

I bought them from 2nd Japan, but they should be all the same. I scored one of the older models, from 2014 I believe, so they were even cheaper.

Size 36 raw 3005:

waist: 18" across waist band not aligned

front rise: 12"

back rise 16.5"

leg opening: 10"

upper thigh: 13.75" to 14" - I measure at crotch total fabric across the leg; I don't stop at any seams

upper thigh: from the inside leg seam attached to the crotch and across the leg 12.75" to 13"

Hey everyone - this is my first post on here. With the recent Flat Head news, I think I want to get a pair of 3005's before there is a possibility of losing my chance. I have 3009's that I love, but I don't have anything in the classic straight leg cut. The problem is that I can't seem to find accurate measurements. Self Edge's measurements seem different than what I got from 2nd (from what I could translate) which is different from Heddels (not sure where they got that chart from). I have big hockey player thighs so that's my main area of concern. Anyone have an accurate size chart or know how the thighs compare to the 3009's in a size 36? Thanks.

I can see where the confusion lies. Self edge is not accurate for upper thigh and back rise, even accounting for their one inch down on thigh measurement, it's still not 12.5" for a size 36.

I have a 36 raw FH 3005 sitting in my closet (no, it's not for sale). I'll check tomorrow for you, but off the top of my head upper thigh BiG style measures more like 13.75" to 14" upper thigh and back rise is like 16", maybe 16.5.

My 36 3009 shrunk from about 13.5" upper thigh to 13", so expect the 3005 size 36 to settle at about 13.5 upper thigh after all shrinkage is done.

I'll give you precise full measurements for the whole jean tomorrow.

I'm not familiar with the Levis RED label, but I did have a pair of what were known as Levis Engineered jeans circa 2007 which were identical to what you guys are posting here as Levis RED. Mine had a raw look to the denim, identical to what a raw LVC denim looks like.

I bought mine in Asia. I assumed then that they were a Europe/Asia thing.

Will buying and of these models in the future be an issue and Should we be stocking up on flathead jeans with this change in management?

Hard to say. Founders keep things intact, often stubbornly. Anytime the founder of something moves along certain aspects of his brand that remained core to the brand may move along with him.

Then again, he's also the same guy who insisted on making shirts with an odd chest to shoulder proportion (odd  by a lot of shirtmakers' standards) based, ostensibly, on his own personal frame. And he also came up with blue suede arcs. So some things moving along may not be such a bad thing.

I hope they don't touch the 3009. I have a 1005 and 3005. I just want a 3009. I had one from Japan in a smaller size than I need and post shrink it was an absolute no go, but great silhouette. Also, a FH slant pocket denim western shirt in Western sizing (like they had before) would be very nice.

I'm sure they could expand their leather jacket range. There seems to be no shortage of FH leather jacket fans.

Yeah, but if Zidane were a Sufu or SF member he would say, "I've got big thighs".

Except he would be legit.

Interestingly, he's in Madrid, no? Tightest man jeans I ever saw in my life was in Madrid.

Sorahikos for $88?

Oi Polloi has the one wash 105 in sizes 1, 2, 4, 5 for $198 USD with VAT deducted. I have no clue what shipping is. Don't know if that's a great deal, but, hey....

Bartleby,

Which boots are those? Crockett and Jones Coniston comes to mind.....

I'd like to see a return of a certain RRL denim western shirt (or a new version by any brand) which was made in a fabric I can best describe as probably a 10oz version of Sugar Cane's fabric used for the Hawaii jeans. That's the closest thing I can compare the fabric to.

I read about the 30 dips on BiG when they carried Eternal.

I have had a pair of 884 for a while now and speaking as someone who does not easily fade jeans I can confidently say that my 884s are fast fading, but they are also slimmer fitting in the top block.

This is part of the dilemma. It's a size 36 one wash and came in probably 33.5 in the waist, but certainly no more than 34 (this is not a fluke, they're all like that). They taper aggressively from the waist band to where the waist band connects (top of the hips) and this area does not stretch with ease. The front rise is like 10.75. And then the Upper thigh is like 13.75 and it's wide all the way down. So kind of what a SDA 103 in the same size would fit but with a slightly higher rise (the Eternal being higher).

I've tried a 36 in 811 and it is a nicer fit, slightly bigger in the waist and more generous in the front rise. But I had to return it because the thigh a few inches up from the knee was stupid tight, a problem I have never encountered with any other brand in this area (tightness in the LOWER thigh). I'll have to try the 811 again. That pair may have just been a fluke.

The denim is very crinkly and remains so for a while, but once it settles it is very nice.

Mine are due for a 2nd wash. I'll post pics some time.

Find the fades on these especially nice (some instagram pic from thousandyardstyle):
