Also @Max Power, FWIW: my dad’s 50s slims, washed very often and worn to tatters.

My 50s were the first jeans I washed super frequently, and I think they came out nicely as a result. Combination of straight cut and frequent washing means they held up better than any other pair of jeans I’ve owned (though they have had some minor maintenance from Ben Viapiana in Toronto).

If I had my time again with these jeans, I’d buy raw (sadly not an option now, it seems) and have them hemmed by the man himself (these were done by Denimio). The factory one wash was heavy duty and meant I never really got any strong creases going. Minor quibble, though. Love this pair.

Couple fit pics of the above 1001s. Sweat’s WH too.

Cheers @Geeman; felt compelled to offer something after taking so much.

In that spirit, another Yahoo purchase. Got these 1001s about a year ago, raw. Washed and worn a tonne since then.

Believe @Broark has the same ones. Seem to recall consensus was that these were Inazuma Festival one-offs. Again, no idea about the denim. Feels a bit lighter, maybe 12oz. Super crinkly and very blue.

Stepping out from the shadows after more time than I care to admit as a dedicated lurker here.

Nowhere near the level seen above, but I want to share a 2002 I picked up from Yahoo at the beginning of the year. Bought it, basically in one wash condition, to replace a side panel 2002xx, which got pinched from a party not long ago. Gave it a wash when it got here, and I've been wearing it constantly since.

Can't work out quite when this was made, even after consulting this thread and all the good info within it. Difficult to say whether it's banner denim without a side by side example, but it feels similar – crinkly and relatively even. Any tips welcome.

And a low light fit pic. Arms are a touch longer than my DD version, and I feel like the body might be too. Shoulders slightly dropped on both versions, which I don't mind.
