Who decrees it's cool to have a phone fade in your back pocket but not acceptable in your front pocket? Utter nonsense!

The iPhone is more than strong enough... I always sit on it.

Did Fonzie tell you to do that?

Is it a new gallery opening?

Yup I've always thought well of Edwin, which was why I even considered them.

However, being a great fan of intricate details, I might be pushed over to PRPS. Unless of course some of you folks reckon that would be a grave mistake?

Neither choice would be a mistake, it's all a matter of personal preference. Decide which cut you prefer as that's probably the key criteria. However if it's details that sway you, I think the Edwins score pretty well in that respect too:

Rainbow selvage denim

Hidden back pocket rivets

hammered rivets elsewhere

Donut fly buttons

Special thin arcs.

Anyway that's enough from me, I'm not an Edwin salesman!

Congrats saintkeat.

If they're a prize I'd go for the Edwins, they are nice jeans (limited edition is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned) with good details, just not worth £300, but for free definitely worth having.

Don't be put off by the fact that Edwin isn't represented heavily on Sufu, their Japanese made stuff is good quality. They also make jeans for Lee Japan.

I think they're also the same denim as the ROY World Tour jeans, for what that's worth.

Hey boys need some advice.

I get to pick a pair of jeans from cultizm, and was considering the Edwin over works 50. However, there doesn't seem to be very much info on them. The most info I got was from the page before this!

I'd like to know if anyone has post wash measurements, and if they know how many are made?

Just like opinions as well about whether the quality is well worth the value.

My other alternative was lvc 1966.

Help a brother out?

saintkeat,

I've seen them in the flesh - nice jeans but not worth the hefty price tag imho. Is someone buying them for you or are they a freebie from cultizm?

I've no idea on the shrinkage, but they're not sanforized, best bet is to email cultizm for details.

I seem to always look at a clock at right-on 11:08 every morning. I think a higher power is trying to tell me to cop Full Counts.

My dental appointments always seem to be at 2.30

Do any of the stores have rider dungarees in sz32 with suspender buttons left in stock by any chance?

Atzec,

I think those jeans have aged better than you over the last 2 years!

so u normally buy ur boots with spare space inside , or a snug fit?

In the past whenever I've bought footwear that felt a little snug at first, they've ended up being given away because they are too small and often painful. I've never found footwear to give like a pair of jeans.

I think a little room isn't a bad thing.

Does anyone know if there are any jeans that are LHT and natural indigo?

I remember those from his nail polish-wearing days!!!

Kiya,

How do the Dry Bones Guitar Wolf Jets compare on the thigh to Flathead 3005s?

Also, are you taking offers on them yet?

Interesting Mr Freedom-related trivia (or not so trivial) here:

A good price (for Europeans) on MF Californians here:

I now gladly accept membership of the 900 Club!

EDIT: I just wanted to point out that Maynard Friedman is NOT a pseudonym for Mister Freedom!

Agreed b_F, vintage simply means old and not a particular style of fading. It can encompass many types of fade.

EDIT: b_Fs later post is spot on and gives context to mine!

Same in my case I'm afraid

No Dr, your vote was simply a user error!

thought about voting for myself too as I didn't want to be the only one without a single one but ended up giving my vote to Atzec...

but now I check and I see: I have one vote! thank you sir or lady

Sympathy, that vote was purely out of sympathy...

No, i've got nothing in stock and I'm keeping my options open. I've seen, obvioulsy, nice 1000XX over the years (fabric and stitching) and like more of their models, including Duckdigger, than many others but don't know that a current Warehouse would do it.

Paul, maybe it's worth considering the new Denime 66s. Blue Owl Workshop have them at a good price and Grooveholmes has posted his pair he recently acquired from there. They may be even cheaper from Japan.

Anyone planning to head to Hideout for cheap LVC (£120) had better do it quickly. Tony, the owner will be selling them at the Goodwood Vintage festival on the weekend of 16-18 September. Maybe some of you will be heading their yourselves,

Anyone for tennis?

second that, mister minit just doesn't cut it...

Very funny. I don't think Timpson is quite up to the job either!

great pair Ale! hopefully i can get mine up tonight!!!

I'm sure your Mrs will be happy with that, but how about some pictures of those Denimes!?

Thanks for the fast response! Also to measure the waist I should lay the jeans flat on the floor with buttons and fly closed all the way. Then I measure straight across and multiply that number by two to get a waist size? What are the units that I should be measuring in as well? Thanks

If you're going with imperial, then I suggest using inches as miles are probably too big for your purposes.

If you're more of a 21st century metric character, then cm is preferable as there will be too many confusing 0s after the decimal point if you use km.

you might not see it, but that doesn't mean that selvage denim was not used. any model back then other than a relatively straight leg the selvage would have been cut off. half selvage Lee 101z's are made from the same fabric on both ends but because of the cut only one line showed. it wasn't made of two diiferent kinds of denim. what sense would that make? the inverse is true also; when you get into flare legs which are wide in the thighs taper in at the knee and open up again at the bottom there is no way to retain a selvage line. selvage ends must follow a straight line or else be cut off. at least back then anyway when there was no importance attached to a selvage line. they would not have bothered trying to preserve it.

I think some Lees only had half selvage because Lee introduced wide (59"?) selvage looms from something like the early 50s onwards and it wasn't so efficient to use the bolt edges for both legs. It wasn't due to the cut of a particular model in this case.

damn, anyone know how to drop 2-3 inches of your waist quick?

seriously, thanks for sharing hope someone gets those, they're a steal @ 100 euro.

Robbie, they'll probably measure 32 raw and shrink very little. If you need something a little bigger, plenty of sizes left in these for the same price;
