I’ll get a proper camera out tomorrow and put them next to other SC persimmons.

if anybody has a good scan of the natural dyes for that model from an early catalog we might be able to verify which colour way used non-green threads...

@Foxy2 Okay, the greys & persimmons have the bright green arcs ... so,  the 1st 2 could be the other colorways ... mud-dyed, green tea, etc.

I don’t have any of the old catalogs or a good scan.
my guess:

1 & 2 - dry grass

3 - persimmon 

4 - green tea 

the mud colour way appears to be darker than green tea in the bad catalog scans I’ve seen.

The far left look like the standard persimmon

I have a slew of fabrics & papers dyed with kakishibu, and none of them are that orange (unless the light is playing tricks, as it does…)

It was late afternoon sunlight when I took the pics - I’ll post more pics with other SC persimmon denim.

the only persimmon denim that came out strange was the second special release by Samurai, but I’ve only seen it in pictures...

What’s  the color of the arcs on the 1st 2 from left ... are they green, as well?

These are in yellow/brown, all other colour ways (that I have) sport green threads.

There are a couple of colour codes floating around for the SC40302:

-312 (mud)

-332 (dry grass)

-337 (persimmon)

-342 (green tea)

I’ve also seen additional codes like:

-021 (persimmon)

-092 (green/grass)

but I’m not sure that those last 2 codes are correct.

my guess would also be persimmon, but I’ll try to take proper pics in a decent light over the next few days.

Next, ..302’s - at least 3 of those 4-5 dyes:

@Foxy2 Were the 200s hard washed when U got them?!  Those Begins are fab! @julian-wolf Got a pair ... was hoping to scoop them up, but must’ve changed his mind 

They got to me used, looking at the patch I figured they got frequently washed. Still looking for a less washed pair...

regarding the Begin’s I wonder if having a less washed out pair would make a difference to me - I guess I wouldn’t wear them more often.

^^ A pair of deadstock lot 600, bag and all, went for sub-$400 just a few months ago; I was really tempted, I'll admit, but they were W36 and I try not to buy jeans just to collect

Meanwhile, those 400 and 500 are real beauts—have they seen much wear?

edit: Haven't seen any lot 701 with that little wear in at least a few years, either…jeez

Have seen a couple 600’s over the years - some still at retailers (years ago) and some at auctions, but always in odd sizes and prohibitively high prices.

didn't get to wear any of those at all - one day, if they still fit...

the 701 came to me at least 5 years ago, if not longer ago.

Those infamous ...510 - I always thought my pair already came “hard-washed”, but maybe those were just frequently washed afterwards or not indicated as such...but then the patch looks like hardly washed at all!

The better one of my 2 pairs of ...105:

Next up ...701 & ...801:

Another “find” from last weekend's clean-up:

...100, 200, 300, 400, 500 next to each other.

...600 is still missing, but I think I’ll manage w/o.

@Foxy2 did you see this new thread OO set up for M-series?

 

 

Yup, will take some more detail shots before I post them over there...

Unearthed my pair of M41119 today...

@Foxy2 where are the Leroy stashed? Hahaha 

Not part of that pile - they’re waiting for a wash before getting passed back/on.

@Foxy2 IIRC,  U have dupes/back-ups, same model different sizes ... will those be part of the catch&release program

That’s the idea - plus a few pairs that I don’t care for as much as I thought.

stay tuned...

Probably.

most of it will stay with me as a collection, but there are a few pieces I don’t need or care for anymore.

no need for Alden’s and there are only so many Tricker’s you should have when all you need are 1 or 2 pairs of wellies...

Ummm, incidentally @Foxy2 ... just in case you’re contemplating on lightening your [denim] “load”,  the  community is here ... ready to help you unburden.  

Good thing you mention that - I got a review & consolidation of the collections planned for Sunday...

Living on a remote Scottish island for more than 6 months make you realise how little one actually needs.

Certainly not 200 pairs of jeans, more than 50 tees or 20 sweatshirts. Not to mention my shirt collection...

?!?! U mean ur in da Witness Program @Foxy2  ... srsly, nice to see u here!

Feels like it...

no, just moved out of Moscow and spend Xmas in Scotland. Shortly after Covid happened and we decided to stay off the grid.

@Foxy2 good to see your posts again

Been busy relocating and hiding since October last year - need to sort out a few things and catch up...

And then there’s this...wallet/card pouch?

Since it came up a couple of pages back...iirc, I might have the denim bag somewhere, but not the fabric/scarf.

On board as well...jeans only, W32 Rigid - representing Eigg/Berlin/Moscow.

Looks just fine, but equally important - does it feel fine, not too restrictive?

I agree with @StrangeNeil that the armholes look high, but that can depend on what you wear underneath.

do you ride bike?
