Thank you, Kit! Much obliged. 

Hey guys... I've asked this before, but no one got back to me... And trust me, I've looked around and tried to do the research, but I can't find a simple answer anywhere?

What's the difference between the 1000, the 1001, the 1100, and the 1101? And which is the 60s cut? 

For the life of me, I can't wrap my mind around Warehouse lot numbers. 

What's the difference between model 900 and 900xx?

I've cycled thru a few of these by this point--Uniqlo, Taylor Stitch, vintage ones, and Le Mont St. Michel. Le Mont is the best one by far. The vintage ones look great, but the collars tend to be kinda weird looking by modern standards and don't look very good when flipped up. 

And both the Yofukuten website and S&S seem to be completely out of stock... Kicking myself for sleeping on this brand for so long. 

Hey. I'll be visiting NY in a couple of weeks and was wondering if any stores in Brooklyn carry Yofukuten? Alternately, how about anywhere in Europe? Would really love to try these on in person. 

I've tried to search through the thread, but I can't figure this out, so maybe someone can tell me...

What's the difference between the Warehouse 1100 and 1101? They're both 60s cuts, right? But beyond that, I can't figure out how they differ. 

Ahem, that's Washington Square Park, buddy. 

That first set of photos, the most recent ones, the jacket is from Jean Shop. 

Hey. Looking to buy a pair of OG Roy's or one of his other slim fits, in size 31 or 32. 

Either raw/barely worn or ripped up and faded. 

Anybody got a pair they're not wearing anymore? 

Thanks!

Hey. Quick question... I own a pair Indigo Selvedge Twill Chinos and am wondering how much shrink I should expect in the wash? Should I just do a cold soak or is it cool to throw them in the washing machine and the dryer afterward?

Thanks. 

Also, it's worth mentioning that the watch community has a great online discussion presence, just like us denimheads. Two good boards to start with are WatchUSeek and Broadarrow.net. And over time, I've bought and sold a handful of watches from members on there. Check out WatchRecon.com - it's a search engine that aggregates all the watch message boards. A Hamilton Kahki Field can usually be found on there for around $200. 

So I own both the SKX 173 above and the Hamilton Khaki Field mechanical. I've also previously owned the Khaki automatic, but prefer the mechanical b/c it isn't polished and its dial is even less busy. I think both are really great. The mechanical I enjoy winding every day and wear when I wanna change it up from my vintage Patek (which really, came down to me as a true accident and the benefit of my mother's wise thinking 20 years ago). And yeah, I think it's way better than a Seiko 5. I've also owned the S5 fleiger in the past and while the lume on that is awesome, it's still a little clunky on the wrist. As for the SKX 173... Can't say enough nice things about it. I put it on and don't worry--ride my bike, sit in the sauna, take it to the beach, and all the while it keeps decent time. If it ever shits the bed, I just hope that a replacement is still affordable. 

Thanks for the link, but I was hoping not to have to pay full retail for them. 

Hey, by chance, does anyone have a pair of 78s (not 76), tagged 30 or 31 in the waist, that they wouldn't mind getting rid of? Been looking around on ebay/grailed, but they never come up. I remember most people didn't like them, but I think the cut would be perfect for me.

I've used this guy Jan a number of times. He's located in Slovakia, but he does great work. He's got a bunch of straps ready to go, but then he'll also do custom orders and designs. You can get a nice custom cordovan strap from him for about $100. Nice guy to deal with.

Volvo... I'd say just go ahead and shell out for a Stowa, b/c if you're anything like me (or the rest of us), you're gonna get it, love it, do more research, and then wish you went with Stowa or Sinn or something like that in the first place. Also, I'd recommend buying a new and not a vintage one. With vintage, you really have to get serious about the maintenance, which involves looking for a good watch maker, shelling out extra cash fairly regularly, and always being worried about your watch when you wash your hands. While I posted my Patek earlier, most of the time I wear my Seiko SKX 173 and don't think twice about water, dirt, ocean, bike riding, or anything else I get up to in the course of a day. Take it from me... Women tend to look quite unenthused when you have to pause the proceedings to safely take off your watch. 

Had this passed down to me not too long ago. Good riddance to the second hand.

Just scored a pair of 1976's for a good price, nice to finally own some LVC.
Pics and thoughts to come once I get them in.

Where did you get them, if I may ask? 

Anybody know of any sales going on the 76s anywhere online?

my 1001

Damn.... These are pretty old, huh? How did you find them? 

Hey guys. If anyone wants to pick up a pair of 34s (or lives in Brooklyn and wants to try them on), I'm open to offers:

My old pair of APCs were featured on Heddels this past Friday: https://www.heddels.com/2017/07/fade-friday-p-c-new-standard-9-years-unknown-washes-soaks/

Hey guys... So I've decided to let my TCB 60s go. Recently got a pair of the LVC 76 and I like the fit of those much better. For me, it came down to the hem opening. My TCBs are have a waist of 34 and after getting them hemmed, the leg opening is 9" exactly. All my other pants are 8" and I just can't make the leap.

Anyway, let me know if you're interested. They're one wash, worn less than 10 times, hemmed to 32" at Self Edge. Willing to trade too.

Thanks.
