👍 And now an even easier question: explain the arrangement!

Rearranged the more or less active and planned rotation. SUPERREP if you can guess the "theme"

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 😅

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"

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 😅

That would be me. I have similar stats and wear a W34

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.

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.

Those M1951 Field Jacket and S-8 are looking really good!

@coleslawyum long time no see! I really hope that in 5 years not much has changed at all 😆

Yes, LVC also offers some pre-distressed pairs. They did this more often several years ago though.

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

The 1946 fit pretty good without a belt now. Excuse the safety shoes

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?!

Hydrogen peroxide is a pretty strong bleach itself. You sure you didn't mean something else?

How accurate are their measurement charts?

And honestly, that's also all we do 🤷

If only a mod could move it 🫣

Denime - Levi's - Ooe - Duke - Nike

Congrats?!

Yes, the 1943 jacket based just on one jacket. Plenty of info in the Sugar Cane thread also plenty of videos on Clutchman TV showing the vintage pieces (2 jackets and 2 jeans, 1943 and 1946).

Yes

@CSL here is some picture material with the vintage pair of which the SC1943 is base on: https://dig-it.media/clutch/article/799433/ https://bookshelf.wisebook4.jp/html/toyoenterprise/51863/#1

Yet everybody (?!) on here loves and favours the more irregular denim which just replicates the imperfections of vintage denim. So we all justify to ourselves what we prefer (and that's what counts I guess). Is it because to sew badly is easy and to replicate imperfect denim is hard? We had this topic of the wonky stitching some weeks back but I didn't take part but here is my (obviously) biased view. When I started with raw denim and repros I favoured the perfect and neat stitching. I would have been disappointed to see sloppy sewing for the price I paid. The first model I really noticed which featured the more wonky stitchwork where the Real McCoys 003 and I didn't like it. Mainly because every pair was the same and the design of the errors wasn't very nice. I admit CSF started my interest in the badly sewn jeans. Everything was done on period correct machines and the errors were more natural and every pair was kinda different (if I see his newer stuff it's often pretty exaggerated and looks like a bad copy of his early work). From this point though I looked a bit different on sloppy sewing. I've got some old Denime stuff where the sewing is kinda sloppy but not on purpose and I am sure I would have been disappointed when I would have bought those in 2014 or so. Nowadays, I find it pretty neat and it's kinda my favourite part Denime in the Orizzonti era as well had their WW2 pair with sloppy sewing (and thus it predates the Real McCoys pair I mentioned earlier) but here again: all errors are the same. Hayashi-san even went so far to replicate the same errors on his Resolute 714. And this feature I still don't like very much. Why do I make an exception for Sugar Cane (and here is the justification part)? Because like I wrote earlier it's a 1:1 copy of an existing pair so kinda a perfect repro. Not a fantasy pair copied into oblivion like Denime, Resolute, Real McCoys, SDA or Full Count did in the past and do now.

Since I haven't seen every piece they made in every size it's hard to say But yes, that was the plan.
