Hey guys. Clearing out a few pairs that don't fit after covid. Jeans are located in Berlin, all prices are flexible, and include shipping within Europe. Just make me an offer. And as always, feel free to ask for measurements. Since these jeans are pretty well known models, I figured it's okay to post them without measurements for the time being. Also, trades are accepted! Looking for Resolute, Warehouse, or LVC 55/66 in size 32 or maybe 33. Denim 66, Orizzonti era, size 31, asking 150€ LVC 1947, tagged 32x36, last of the Cone era (I believe), asking 100€ Warehouse 900, tagged 31x32, asking 75€

If it weren't for those rivets, I wouldn't pay $300 for the jeans...

Something I've been wondering for years: How do people repair the pocket using a sewing machine? I repair all my jeans myself, but still haven't figured out this trick.

Head's up. I spotted what I think is a deadstock vintage Levi's Type 3 for a good price. As typical with Markt, it's mislabeled. https://www.marrkt.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/lot-705-type-ii-denim-jacket I don't need it, but one of you should check it out.

How is the sizing on these? I've been wanting to get a pair, but have a hard time finding them in Europe. Do you have any suggestions?

@cause4pause Nope, sorry. No measurements. But I'll be back in NY in October and can measure them then.

Here's a link to the Grailed listing: https://www.grailed.com/listings/4860923-roy-denim-slim-tapered-jeans Don't have any recent photos as the jeans are across the sea, but I'm sure they look exactly the same. I maybe wore them once (ass too fat).

Yeah, it's an unfortunate story with those jeans. I stashed them at my parents' house in NY before I moved to Berlin, thinking I'd bring them over at some point. That never happened. Then my mother, who smokes, took over my old room as her new TV den/office. The jeans are in the closet and, as far as I know, the closet door is closed. But like @julian-wolf said, cigs are insidious and most likely have sneaked in. And yeah, @UkeNo, I would wash them if I tried to sell them – I get that no one wants to receive smoked-out jeans. But at the same time, those jeans are rare enough that perhaps someone out there would be willing to deal with the smell – or maybe a smoker wants to buy them. As for drainage issues, I don't know if that has to do more with England (the weather, I imagine, leaves the ground like a damp sponge), but don't all the best bars reek of piss?

On a side note, would anyone be interested in buying a pair of what were listed on Grailed as: rare OG 2008, size 30, chainstitch hemmed to 30 by Self Edge. I bought them a few years ago, never fit into them, and left them at my parents house. The good news is that they're pretty clean/unworn, the bad news is that they might smell like my mom's cigarettes. Say the cigarette smell went away, what's the market price for a pair like that these days?

So with Roy's above statement's in mind, I'd vote cause4pause go ahead and alter his waistband. Fuck it, you only live once and they are just a pair of jeans. Go be happy.

Nice score, but I check that site every day and somehow I missed it... So how/when did you find them. And also, how do you deal with eBay searches for Denime? Whether eBay or Grailed or any other forum, searching "Denime" brings up hundreds of results for "denim." Ugh! IMO, they're the hardest jeans to keep track of online.

I know the type 3 isn’t the most popular jacket from TCB, but figured I’d throw this up just for fun. When I bought it, back in 2017, I decided to get hand warmer pockets installed. I like having somewhere to put my hands when I walk, but also like using the inside pockets to carry books around. Unfortunately, I didn’t pick the best fabric and holes developed pretty quickly, which led to the current patch job. When I bought this jacket, it was kind of oversized on me, but now it’s getting pretty tight, so I’ve been debating about ripping these pockets out and just wearing it as a denim shirt.

I own both the 710s and the 76s, both in size 32, and although the Resolutes fit perfect at first, with pandemic weight gain and subsequent shrinking, they feel like total slim fits now. Meanwhile, the 76s fit perfectly. On the Resolutes, the biggest areas of discomfort are the thighs and crotch and I feel like I can't ever pull them up all the way. So I either have to lose weight or get size 33s. But since buying the 710s, I've also really fallen in love with TCB 50s and I think when it comes time for my next pair of Resolutes, I'm going to try the 711s.

Hey @Dr_Heech, Could you possibly throw out some ideas for where to go hunting for 555 Levi's? What are your favorite haunts? Thanks!

Stash them in your closet - they'll fit one day.
