The ones at the front pockets feel sharper than the ones on the coin pockets so I am not bothered anymore

I started the year with the Freewheelers 601XX 1947.

They are rather sharp compared with other brands

And a first, quick fit pic. These changed their texture A LOT in the initial soak+wash. They became quite neppy and slubby. The rivets don't bother me anymore so I'll leave them.

Out with the old... ...in with the new

Happy New Year everybody!

@jsky808080 If my assumption is correct, that the back rise is too high on your 221, that would rule out the 220 as the back rise is even higher. The 224 would be the better option as the back rise is lower than the 221. I am 6' and around 180 lbs and wear a W34 in those models. You could probably do a W32 in the 221 but that would mean stretching the waist quite a bit out again and I don't think the legs will be much smaller. Resolute 710 will be slimmer in the legs and thighs/hips but they are also taper quite strong. It's odd that your SC47 feel borderline tight in the thighs and the Denime are still roomy. A second and third wash will definitely shrink the denim more but probably not as much as you want/need. The Resolute 714 would also be a good option if the 710 would be too slim for your liking.

Wearing them in a contest is like cheating

Got enough (WW2) jeans, so...

Took some pictures in better light and with my 66XX for comparison

The fit from the front looks great and when you hem the jeans they will fall better and look better. From the back the look is not so good anymore. The rise looks very high and still you got a wedgie. I think you should wear them lower then or have a cut with a lower back rise?! The big back pockets also don't help. If you really only soaked and washed them once, there is still a chance it will shrink more. Did you take numbers on how much the denim aldready shrank in all deimension?

Naoki only gets the one-wash versions, right?

^ if I had such a unique and rare original pair in my collection I could somehow understand not wanting to wear it

Yeah I remember (now) the green line Sugarcane millet denim to be from Nihon Menpu but didn't know for the more standard denim.

In case you wondered which mill produces the denim for Sugarcane (at least their 47 denim and the new 43 and 46 denim). It's Nihon Menpu https://youtu.be/unmyU-TSo2U?feature=shared

Merry Christmas everybody, enjoy the time with your families!

^ Shrinkflation doesn't stop at selvedge denim!

^probably longer than the typical Type2 but suits you perfectly!

Yeah I think he posted about this back then already. Made for the Buaisou guys and for some friends (?!). So nothing you can buy

And they are a W38. Go figure :D

Gonna tell you next year 😉

As a preparation for the FW 1947, I am wearing my CSF 1947

Levi's - Denime - Cons

Wearing my Lb40s recently while my Denime dried. They will get more wear next year as a back up to the FW 601
