    @ChemProfJSpencer Cone Mills made the denim for levis 501xx exclusively from 1922 onwards. The Cone denim used back then had a lot more character, such as your neppy feel with slubs and loom chatter. The denim changed three times, once in the mid 1950s (a lighter blue dye it seems), mid 70's (sulphur dye technique was briefly introduced) and again in 1984 when the selvedge disappeared and the denim became more fluffier/bulkier, but had pretty much lost all that character by then. (As for the denim being a flaw, l've not seen evidence to support it). The introduction of repros from the mid 1990s aimed to rectify that, trying to get denim made that replicated that character. And here we are 30 odd years later with an array of manufacturers and different denims doing just that! Hope that helps?
  2. No mystery. The reason is that by 1980, for most vintage denim enthusiasts, the denim and details on vintage examples (which are then repro'd) are pretty much 'meh'. And the lvc version is a good example of why: bland and boring at best.
  3. Tut tut young man, Bruce is wearing s pair of Big E's in this iconic shot 😁
  4. Oh l'm not looking to buy, got those FW42's in my crosshairs but that's about it for me atm. Just know what it's like sometimes with a newborn and money can get tight, just figured you may have a purge(?) Wish you all the best with the journey ahead and can l put those kids Wrangler jeans aside for you? (jk)
  5. ^another addition to the Denime family? 😉 Congratulations Tilman! Some more good fades to come. So does this mean a sell off of old stuff to buy new (baby) stuff?
  6. I can remember almost buying a pair identical to those for about £350, mind you this was back in the mid- 2000's. I passed as was maxed out on my Lvc debit card 😭
  7. And in all in black and white too
  8. Could you broaden your answer mate? Was lucky enough to see that beautiful WW2 fabric in Soas recently (albeit with cut off red tags) so am curious to know is the new thread sewing thread or is it the warp/weft aspect?
  9. Why not take the Piece tag off when the jacket becomes threadbare and sew it onto the SC jacket?
  10. Getting fed up with the grim weather here in the UK, rather have some of these blues than the winter blues. Hurry up Spring!!
  11. @silencejoe wondering which S506XX repro you prefer in terms of accuracy to the originals? Are you keeping your new purchases on ice or do you plan to wear?
  12. @silencejoe We need some detailed shots of both garments before they disappear into the black hole that is your apartment 😅
  13. Lee 100J Westerner has now been sold. Still have this vintage item left.
  14. Just seen this post on Bear's lg showing the reintroduction of the 1933 model. That cinch strap looks to have travelled south again, looking more like a Lee buckle strap placement now 😅
