got it: thanks!

... in truth trying to get the good Dr's attention on this; I am no expert; only working from pairs of repros I own ... [I remember going through all the workwear research threads on db but have frankly forgotten the shifts/variables of '22 - '26; stone me fellows!]

remembering a good post by the Dr here of a 20s pair ... remembering @aho epic shot of 20s-30s backpockets here too ...

my only real observation of any substance is about the pocket size ... as I said: a handsome pair!

Actually I got it wrong myself... Not the first year Levis used Cone denim but the first year they used Cone red selvedge denim...

no expert here... they look handsome ...

major difference to tcb pair looks like size of back pocket; these seem bigger... reminiscent of the recent lvc 1915 back pocket's which I believe were called out on DB for their over-sized-ness...

if I remember in discussion of the tcb20s the inestimable @Dr_Heech was most concerned with bar tacking above the rivet on interior of the back pocket which seems all correct here? I may be very wrong but thinking other issues I remember from the tcbs that I don't see on these ooes: selvedge (no pics; should be white only?) and hemming (no pics, but shouldn't be chain stitch?) and with tcb 20s and lvc 1915 (and earlier): branded buttons for top fly button only ... [but as I remember reading from the good Dr; that changes after '26?) those with the 501 book will have far more info than I ...

[size-wise the back pockets actually remind me a little of the csf 20s version posted this page: but I think they had them rotated more and more tapered...]

These are 1927s... I believe that's the first year Levis used Cone red selvedge denim, so selvedge should be red?

Hey @Broark or anyone else with a pair of DSB, how many buttons does the fly have? The pictures on Hinoya Bears shows 4 buttons and Bears shows 3.  My pair of DD-1001XX has 3, and I'd actually prefer 4.

I'm assuming both pairs I linked are the same.

I think with a lot of the warehouse jeans it's five buttons above a certain size and 4 buttons otherwise...

maybe instead of Konaka's S series do Shimizu's 50s series...

Thx guys.  Despite them having very subtle fades I love wearing them...

Warehouse 1001 20th anniversary natural indigo, 1.5 ~ 2 years... a few washes...  Not much fades... Always knew natural indigo stuff are hard to fade, but didn't know it would be this tough...

Hey guys, these are 76s pre soak, u think the inseams will be long enough for me post soak???

A few pages back you guys were talking about the 1001XX Duck Digger denim.  Here's mine, about 1 year of wear/two washes:

Sz 32 1003XX test sample - about 20 months of wear... A few washes...

Crotch All Gone...

trigger slip__ friendly fire!

sorry, ulu. for the accidental neg. 'actually <3 the jeans & curious to know how they fit ... any fit pix?

Not the greatest angle for a fit pic but here you go...

Sz 32 1003XX test sample - about 13 months of wear...

Anyone knows how to size these??? I am guessing true to waist???

thanks...

Awesome awesome idea... I can even do some diving there...

I am literally drooling over this thread...
