  1. These look awesome. Also,

     

    ...all edges are taped (not stitched)...

     

    I'm not familiar with sneaker construction, this wouldn't affect durability would it? Or are you just saying that they're made by normal vulcanized sneaker standards and not welted to the sole?

  2. Don't do it.. spring for the extra cost of the selvedge, the fabric is completely different, only the weight is the same between the two.  They also age differently and feel different right off the bat.  

     

    This is new to me. I've always assumed non-selvedge is just the denim on the bolt further in from the edges. It's actually a whole different denim all together? Is it like a larger, "economy" priced bolt of denim?

  3. Thanks for the detailed response dude! Yeah I think I'm going to get them especially at that price. I thought I'd hold out for some 501zs but I'm down for trying something new (or really old I guess lol). I'm just gonna work out how I want to size them. Gotta get that tape out again....

  4. ^Kiya had mentioned before that Josh sizes down when he models for SE product shots because that's how he prefers to wear them. As a result, the sleeves and waist sometimes hit him higher than a person buying the same product in their "actual" size.

     

    Thanks, cool to know. And duuuude that shirt is killer

  5. Hey just kind of curious, does the model actually wear his shirts in that size? Or does he size down or wash to show what it'll look like later? They just all seem kinda short on him and the sleeves on the grey one especially look short. Not that they look bad or anything. They're beautiful shirts.

  6.  So bitchin. I like them against the hardwood floors too. Really makes them stand out.

     

    Does anyone have a spare IH trucker hat they're wanting to part with? I saw that "DENIM FOREVER" one and never wanted a hat so bad in my life...

  7. So given all that's happened in this thread with all the varieties of quality with the different selvedge 501stfs, Should I go buy the regular ones from a few years back off of Rakuten for ~$100, or just wait till some 501z LVCs go on sale? (I'm looking for a slimmer fit) 

  8. I picked up a pair of washed '54 501ZXX for my girlfriend for $75.  Are they worth that? Yes.  The usual asking price for washed LVC 501s is over $300, and they are not worth that.   

     

    Did you happen to see any raws of that cut wherever you bought those?
