Looks like Warehouse and LVC happened to make the same suede sherpa jacket this season.

Could you link the c/l 1001s? 

The Spring/Summer catalogues for Warehouse and Heller's Cafe are up. There's also a new Type III that isn't in the catalogue.

Seen on the Greensboro shop Hudson’s Hill live story on Instagram 

My apologies if this has been posted before, but it's new to me. MoMA goes to the Levi's archives to look at 3 incredible pairs of 501s.

1915s on the US Levis site for $90 after the extra 30% discount code. 32 and 34 still available. The sawtooth denim shirt and the new chambray popover are also on pretty deep discount. 

Not much in my experience. I find that the 2009/14 fabric has a generous amount of stretch to it. My 34” get to a 37” waist pretty easily and I hot wash and machine dry every time. 

‘66 are currently 50% off on the main Levi’s site with pretty much every size available in 34L 

I had some ‘55s on a short list for the next pair of jeans and the Cone news pushed that time line up significantly. 34x34 hot washed and air dried.  

I asked BiG about it recently and they told me there aren’t any planned restocks for the 660. 

What denim is that? It says 13.5 but it doesn’t look like the banner denim to me.

If you aren't following LVC on Instagram they recently started using the daily stories to post detail shots of the archive pieces that the F/W line will feature. There was a denim jumper a few days ago and some 1880s jeans today. 

Well it seems like once the current 660 stock is sold out at Blue In Green that will be it. I emailed them to see if any there would be any more production runs and there are no plans to make anymore. 

This sponsored/suggested post turned up on my Facebook feed today and I though anyone who has been following the TCB and Ranchman threads would get a kick out of who get the credit in this headline. 

I have the second Gitman pinup shirt and I get a lot of complements about it. It's a good print for a hot day outdoors. I would never wear the first one though. What is truly in bad taste is how many shirts Gitman Vintage puts out that they describe as "Oriental".

Thunderbolt is there haha. Apparently that's a mark of having used the dryer a good bit, and a classic feature of 60s cuts. My old pair doesn't have it and man it had been beaten hard for years, but never dried in a drier.

It's a cool little detail that I like. Resolute 710s produces some pretty amazing thunderbolt fades too...

 

You learn something every day. Here's one curtesy of my Sugar Cane 66 which was machine dried every time. 

I saw this chainstitched jacket on Instagram a while back, and, as long as you are a fan of X (the band), I don't think anyone is ever going to top this design.

Anyone have experience with the banner denim in warmer, humid climates? Considering picking up the DD-1550 shorts, but if they may not breathe well it sort of defeats the purpose of wearing shorts for comfort anyways 

Yeah I live in New Orleans where the heat and humidity isn't quite in South East Asian levels but worse than the majority of America. I have a few banner denim pieces (1105, 1001, 2002x) and I find them to be warmer than some of the Sugar Cane denim I have ('09, '66). You can make it work, but I find myself washing more often once the summer hits (which is basically now). If you want some warm weather Warehouse check out the cotton/linen models.  

Side note... I really don't know how the guys in Indonesia and Thailand do it. I've been told the worst New Orleans day is just a regular day there, and the worse day here is pretty insufferable. Their fades are pretty extreme, but from my experience with denim and humidity those guys must have some really disgusting pairs of jeans.
