BAerts

YES! Great to see they made it on time.

The jeans shipped out yeserday morning. Not sure what size they are, but if you're under a 33, I'm pretty positive you can squeeze into them. They seem like about a 31 or 32.

The jeans have arrived! Buuuuut I'm probably going to go ahead and ship them to dkatz right away in hopes that they'll make it to NYC before the Africa trip. See you back in Nashville in December!

Hey, all, upon still having not seen the jeans, I just PM'd tigerformula. Worry not, we'll get them to dkatz for the Africa trip! Stay tuned.

@GregoryH: Great to hear you picked up the '47s! Being that you've always been an avid wearer of slim modern jeans, I can definitely see why they'd be you're favorite fitting jeans ever. They're a perfect blend between a vintage and modern jean.

Well, still no jeans, today, so they won't be making it on the camping trip this weekend. No biggy, I'll wear 'em next week for a bit and send them on for their long journey to Africa!

..or blacklight them, at least.

you guys flatter me.

edit: would suck for BAerts to only get them for 2 weeks though... I could send the back to him in Dec?

I'm all for it. I'd love to get them for at least a couple weeks in October, though. I'm headed camping and hiking this weekend at Fall Creek Falls. I'd be happy to get a little wear and ship them to dkatz, later next week. Is that okay?

Nudies look great! The trend is toward washing more, these days, it seems, so it's cool to see some grimey denim again.

+rep

When they die, hopefully.

Except i can't put up everybody anymore, i wrote that when there were 12 people involved, now it's way past 20! haha..

Regardless, we throw a decent party and will make it worth your while.

Seriously, if someone can make a pair of '47 501s last for 13 yrs, I think we can keep these Flatheads going just as long. I'm not sure these things will ever die... :-) Looking forward to getting them soon.....that may be the next time I see them, at this rate.

If this evo thread continues on like the last three pages, I think my head might explode.

+rep - Very cool pair of jeans. It's great to see a different Skull cut on here for once.

@Beefcake: I'm the exact same size. My NC were a 31, but in all other APC cuts, a 30 should do it without being absurdly tight.

yeah ill just shoot for the 34 inseam thanks.

anybody have any ideas on how these were sized or soaked?

basically made me want to buy 1947s

Dude, if you're going to wear them like that, just go to Macy's a buy a pair of 30 dollar STF. That's nowhere near a true '47 cut, anyhow. And the STFs fade really great. The STFs will fit just like that if you size up, and when you grow out of you saggy jeans phase, next year, you won't have a $200+ pair of jeans that you're trying to pawn off on sufu.

+rep for the Flatheads and the Iron Hearts. Great looking jeans!

Wow, this looks like an incredible tour. Looking forward to it!

APC NC 14 Months, 2 soaks, 2 washes

Battery acid is eating them alive, day by day. Despite the fact that slim jeans AND apcs have kind of fallen out of favor, here on SUFU, these jeans have been pretty incredible. They've held up really well, and with dedication, you can still get some pretty great color out of the denim.

These guys are headed to Imogene and Willie for a crotch reinforcement, and then into semi retirement. My BSPs are glaring at me from their hanger. Sorry for the crappy phone pics.

@xrevengex:

Already posted in LVC thread, but I'll say it again, great pairs.

Battery acid has eaten away my APC's, as well. It does a surprisingly great job of making worn out jeans look awesome. All in all, really great pairs.

Wow, those are some of the raddest 47s I've seen. Keep rocking them. :-)

As the rest of the community, wishing you a very speedy recovery, Kiya! Get well soon

just checked imogene+willies homepage,really cool done:

anybody here who knows more about them?

I live about a block away. I strolled in there about a year ago and was amazed to see someone else in Nashville who knew what selvage denim was. :-) They're great people, and it's a great shop. They carry LVC, APC, Rogan, RRL, handpicked vintage pieces, and White's Boots. Of course, what's really been their main success are their jeans. They make a men's Willie and two women's cuts, the Imogene, and a stretch model (can't remember the name).

The Willie is a pretty damned cool pair of jeans. It's basically a '47 501. From this cut, you can size down for a slim cut, size up for relaxed, and they also have builders/tailors on site that will contour the jeans however you'd like. Basically, they'll make whatever you want out of a basic 501 cut. As is, they fit great. The original version that was available to consumers was made out of a 318 selvage fabric (I think similiar to the LVC '37s), 12 oz I believe. The new version is a Matsui 14 oz Japanese fabric. Pretty much everyone I know and work with has a pair, they're incredibly popular in Nashville, a town that has been a denim deadzone for quite some time. I couldn't say enough good things about them.

Spoken like three folks who have never washed dishes in an industrial kitchen.

Restaurant stink permeates everything, never comes out, and you will hate smelling it when you're off duty.

It would make a good photo, though, especially with a denim apron.

Yeah, I worked in a really nice restaurant for two years and still came home covered in stank everyday. It's a smell that never leaves.....like stale french fries and oil. I wouldn't suggest it, especially being that Roy is not making new pairs for a bit. Just my two cents. Buuuut if you don't mind, I'm sure we'll all get a kick out of seeing some greasy ass jeans.

@was ist los: Incredible looking lineup! Are they all the same size? If so, that's also quite an informative comparison of cuts. May have sold me on some 710s. Good work.

God bless, those look incredible.
