  1. I got these a few weeks ago and have hardly had them off long enough to get good pictures, but here are a few. Size 29 M41057, at this point my favorite pair of M-Series jeans that I’ve gotten so far. The fit is perfect! A couple pics from a hike to an alpine lake earlier:
  2. Gotcha, that’s all very helpful. Thank you all so much!

    I love the back pocket shape on those!
  4. Can anyone advise me on the 147s, if you had to go up or down a size, which would you pick? I’ve wanted a pair for ages but can never make up my mind, and they’re a little too pricey to just gamble on…
  5. @Double 0 Soul you’ll have to connect us! I can go down to their basement and we can do a photoshoot
  6. Those are so awesome, great fading and nice to see they’re still holding up so well!!
  7. I got you if you need! Though someone who lives on the east coast might be a little cheaper
  8. Follow up from the small questions thread (and vintage denim thread) - my partner and I both got some new pants today! I got some buzz chinos that I really like, wider than I imagined but still like the fit, and my partner got some nice dark 80s Levi’s. Don’t focus too much on my terrible haircut lol 😛
  9. My partner traded for some 80s Levi’s at a vintage sale today! They’re a model 26501-0118 with a paper patch, non-selvedge but still beautiful denim, and a 2 2 stamped on the top fly button. Anyone have more info on them at all? Some photos & closeups of the patch, fabric and some nicely sloppy back pocket stitching:
  10. Reminds me of one of my friends in journalism school, who was editor of the "arts & culture" section ... for his weekly article he decided to ride his bike around our town and have a drink at all 8 bars that existed there at the time; he expected to get quite drunk doing so but didn't expect to run into several friends at the first spot, who of course bought him a few rounds to get started, then got other friends to meet him at the other bars & follow suit... I don't remember whether he ended up making it back that night or passed out in a ditch somewhere, and no sense asking him cause he probably doesn't either!
  11. @Double 0 Soul those are the ones that are cut into shorts, right? So cool! I was a bit confused as Levi's also seemed to have a "two horse" label for a brief period in the 90s - can't find much info about either one though.
  12. Use value vs exchange value: one of the foundations of capitalism! The hyperinflated price of high fashion clothing is one of the best illustrations of this principle, I think.
  13. Yes you’re right, in real life you can see the pale blue showing beneath the upper layer of fibers — doesn’t seem to come through in the photo much at all unfortunately, it’s one of the most mesmerizing things to me about this fabric. Thanks for the info William!
