  1. Very well possible! Athough the denim doesn't feel as thick. I think it isn't the wisest move to switch their labelling now. Bears has them still listed as 14.5oz (raw) which will shrink to 15.9oz. So they just put the 10% shrinkage on top.
  2. This should add to my sentence: wearing nice jeans that I like the fit of. The FW47 weren't part of that group
  3. Yeah the whole chart is strange. The Basic (XX denim) was introduced with 14.5 oz denim. Now it is stated as 15.5 oz. Also the denim of all 3 basic models is different. The charts suggests otherwise. The names of the new models were first stated as 220(1947) and 220(1954) and so on. The Ishikawadai spinning machine is also quite trendy right now. SDA and Oni already advertised with it. Most likely it was already used for many years by many brands and they just looked for something new to rave about 😉
  4. Yes, I decided to keep them. Only the FC is looking for a new home. Well, I spread the wear across multiple pairs. Sometimes I focus for a while on one pair and it results in some nice fades but most of the time the wear is spread too many pairs to show evolution. I do like faded jeans but it's not my goal (anymore) to fade them. I just want to wear nice jeans 😅
  5. Year of model would have been my favourite but 4 of them are generic 40s model. So I just took the alphabetical order 😉
  6. 👍 And now an even easier question: explain the arrangement!
  7. Rearranged the more or less active and planned rotation. SUPERREP if you can guess the "theme"
  8. The Resolute 714 is probably the best fit they make for my frame. So it's my favourite cut by Resolute. But I liked the Denime 220 more than i thought I would. They have a higher rise than I usually prefer but it felt nevertheless just right. In terms of 60s cut I prefer the Resolute 710 but only because I didn't wear the 221 yet and the 224 was surprisingly tight in the crotch. Tried the 224 on yesterday and they felt better but I didn't sit down in them 😅
  9. Some measurements to compare 711 34x32 (bought one-wash) Waist: 34" Front rise: 11" Back rise: 14.5" Thighs: 13" Knee: 9.625" Leg opening 8.5" Inseam 30.5" 711 34x36 (bought raw, hemmed at PSA, probably have shrunk more but didn't measure) Waist: 34" Front rise: 11.125" Back rise: 15" Thighs: 13" Knee: 9.8" Leg opening 8.7" Inseam 31.6" 714 34x34 (bought one-wash) Waist: 33.85" Front rise: 12.2" Back rise: 15.35" Thighs: 13,2" Knee: 9.45" Leg opening 8.45" Inseam 32.5"
  10. Nope. It's really better to wear them without a belt. Since the hips and thighs are wider you have more crotch room which is good for the lower rise. Anyhow, you either like lower rise jeans and like to wear them or you don't 😅
  11. That would be me. I have similar stats and wear a W34
  12. Like I always wash my jeans: an initial soak to make them more pliable and put them directly in the washing machine. 30 °C with low spin. A little bit of detergent.
  13. That XX4 denim is a real contender in terms of softest denim I own. Even softer than FC's 13.7oz denim I have to say. Creases set hardly.
  14. Those M1951 Field Jacket and S-8 are looking really good!
  15. @coleslawyum long time no see! I really hope that in 5 years not much has changed at all 😆
  16. Yes, LVC also offers some pre-distressed pairs. They did this more often several years ago though.
  17. I think Brut usually knows their stuff. But yeah, if genuine it would be a steal But the fades look like factory fades so probably really a LVC
  18. The 1946 fit pretty good without a belt now. Excuse the safety shoes
  19. So did your bleach contain sodium hypochlorite? But if you need just acid to neutralize, I guess citric acid will be sufficient without the "risk" to bleach further?!
  20. Hydrogen peroxide is a pretty strong bleach itself. You sure you didn't mean something else?
  21. How accurate are their measurement charts?
  22. And honestly, that's also all we do 🤷
  23. If only a mod could move it 🫣
  24. Denime - Levi's - Ooe - Duke - Nike
