Sympathy-For-The-Denim

the 1001 pair I bought in april '22 (see page 345) and worn ever since for around 80% of the time, like 4 60° celsius washes outside out. the 32,5" shrank to an 30" inseam.

@NilsLWreally nice pair, it looks like you've washed em a lot. I wonder if they shrunk an extra amount and if you washed em inside out?

if I remember correctly in 1963 "every garment guaranteed" disappeared from the leather like

so they introduce a new 1963 model, but they weren't LVC if they wouldn't have something special... nos cone denim! great price too! https://www.levi.com/AD/en/clothing/men/levis-vintage-clothing-501-1963-jeans/p/A41460000

still I really appreciate the denim used for their jeans, if only the would make some looser ones, A.P.C seem to stuck in the late 00s. anyone knows what mill the denim is from and if there are other denim brands using the same denim, offering more generous fits?

My 1001 pair in a W33 L32, gladly shrank another inch in length and somewhat at waist after a second 40 °C / 104 °F wash. They came up 31ish from a original 34" inseam.

poly or cotton, I love that jacket anyway. from all my unworn denim jackets (most of them LVC) this os the one I wear most since it doesn't take me years to wear in. thanks for the tip on 'archaic monster' btw.

thanks Dr.! do you know if they had used poly or cotton thread back in the 70s?

thanks Duke for confirming! I don´t have clue Dr., got these very cheap via Ebay from France, maybe it's from a bike race!?

here your are: for the start I've chosen a Lee 91-B Jelt Denim Chore Jacket which I would estimate being made in the 1970s?

you've got a good very memory Dr.! I will try by tomorrow, but don't mind if the pics aren't becoming that decent, since I don't have the opportunity make take em in daylight. my photos taken inside always seem not that accurate in terms of colour.

today at the hottest day of the year in berlin, my 1937ish full counts 1301sr arrived (my 1st pair of FC and the most expensive one aswell but still a better price than the sugar cane version that came up few month ago) made from the so called super rough 15.5oz denim (that must have been 15.5oz when raw for it feels a lot heavier) these run huge with a massive hip flair... anyone got experience with this denim? I know FC have used allready for other cuts. mine came onewashed and I hope for further shrinkage at the hips. https://www.stuf-f.com/bekleidung/denim/3090/fullcount-1301sr-cinch-back-super-rough-selvedge-denim

hehe, would love to see how they fade on the inside from wearing em 6month without a wash... the wearers legs not to mention

fresh from the 90s: https://www.cultizm.com/de/denim/jeans/31174/levi-s-vintage-clothing-1963-inside-out-501-jeans but what is a 1963 famous for? loosing the "every garment guaranteed"?
