@MJF9 you are going to bid on them?

My 2nd pair of 1952 measure as follows: Lot. B 612 Size 34 Raw Waist: 34 Front rise: 12.25 Back rise: 16.25 Thighs: 13.5 Knee: 9.8 Leg opening: 9.25 Inseam: 34.5 My first pair was at 35" in the waist raw. The 1937 I have no charts at hand but @Bobbo has a pair: https://indigoveins.com/category/denime-2/denime-10th-anniversary-1937/

Yep, 1 month was quoted. They are now at my proxy and now I only have to wait until they reach me.

Yes, both models were introduced for the 10th anniversary. 1998 would have been that. The seller might remember wrong. The Lot# on those was generic. I have 2 pairs of the 1952 model and they have different numbers. They should measure raw = tag size and the 1937 might be even a tad undersized from the other pairs I saw over the years.

Your work is really incredible

And the Lot.220A today

Incredible find here. I was longing for the 10th 1937 model for a long time and this would be miy size (as they run small). But honestly I would never really wear a cinch model and I already have the 1952 pair so...maybe someone esle wants to buy them? https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/auction/yahoo/input/e1101198028/

Denime - H&M - Resolute - Converse

Would love to help you out but being from the continent isn't probably much of help for you. But I am sure @Flash can lend you his Internet skills I considered them early on but when I saw the measurements and no in-between sizes where available I passed. But still like to them evolve I think the amount of people here that actually handled a WW2 Levi's is pretty small (non-existent?!) so I fear we won't get a final answer. I think many repro brands handled at least one pair before producing their jeans but it also depends on the size they handled and if they did the scale up correctly. Seeing CSF and TCB having really high rises I rather think this is correct and brands offering smaller rises might have tweaked the pattern for a better fit. Or as you said, the variations in original 501 were also so big.

@Dr_Heech I really didn't think about a possible purchase at all. Do you?

Still waiting for my Mepse&co jeans...

Hej team Rocket...how are your WW2 jeans are coming along?

Sold out in lots of places but here are still some pairs: https://search.rakuten.co.jp/search/mall/full+count+s0105xx/ https://item.rakuten.co.jp/americaya/s0105xx/ https://item.rakuten.co.jp/gpanya/10008191/?variantId=62027

Those I have at home...just at home though

Yep

On the official homepage. Seems to be an online exclusive model

I was about to get some Birkenstock Zürich until I realised I have ugly feet... So these are speaking to me right now:

Merz - Denime - ROF

Making more room and thus getting rid off the pairs that I probably won't be able to wear in some years Resolute 710 in 34x32 (130€) Resolute 710 in 34x33 (100€)

33.5 cm = 13.2"

Updated pics at my usual spot

Exactly @Maynard Friedman I think I prefer the Denime as a WW2 model. Resolute is more a fashion brand than a repro brand.

I prefer the details/sewing of the Denime but the fit on the Resolute is a little bit better. The denim on the Denime is also very nice but I wish I would have found a raw pair since these were really boiled. Now I am thinking about hemming the Denime so the fit will improve. But I can't tell you which is my favourite

A small comparison between Denime WW2 and Resolute 714. The details are very similar but the Denime have the rougher sewing. They are pretty similar in fit as well, same rise and lower leg. The 714 are slightly slimmer in hip and thighs.

What am I missing? Are these SOAS really that special or are they just the only western store to carry them? How do they differ from these? https://www.jeans-neshi.com/mensjeanskan/lee/lee-vintage-menu.htm
