Wow that’s a great fit. Looks better than their old 40s fit imo, less flat in the butt

@willi I own a few OCBDs from the 80s, one Ralph Lauren and the rest made in England random Savile Row type stuff. They are all really long and go way down to my thighs in the back, and also quite full in width. One actually even has the same length measurement as pit to pit, thus making it a perfect square. Even though they are my size they look silly worn tucked in with a suit or jacket, because of the ballony effect (think Seinfeld). I only wear them untucked casually. IMO 60s cuts are a lot more elegant and will look better today.

Now we need fit pics!

@shredwin_206 Perfect fit on that tux

In my opinion, new jeans should be a little snug, but not so snug that you can't button them when new. Do you want this pair because the shop only carries a waist 34? If they have a 36, I think you should try that first.

Many styled examples of the new Live's 517 repro here: https://www.instagram.com/live_structure_and_co/ And a proper website here: https://517labo.official.ec/items/all They look so good imo, a proper 517 repro.

@PrettyBoyTony I will when the fades are interesting enough! I’m sure those 714s of yours will look really good anyways, the fit looks perfect in the pictures.

@PrettyBoyTony Agreed, I don’t think 40s/50s fabrics necessarily benefit from frequent washing. The 710 is the only pair in their lineup that looks really good washed-out imo. I’ve been wearing my 710s pretty hard since early summer and have only given them a soak so far. Interested to see how my Resolutes will fade with less washing since I can’t really find any examples online.

Perfect type II, properly cropped

Finally got the chance to check out their store in Paris and left with a pair of LR01s. Really cool spot for any denim fan and Arthur (the owner) is very nice and knowledgeable about anything jeans related. Their shop is like a little workshop filled with vintage machines and faded pairs of their jeans and jackets on display, it would be easy to stay there for quite some time..

Lovely pair! Looks quite similar to mine. Love the dirty blue color they acquire over time, gives them a real vintagey-feel. They are one wash but I saw some extra shrinkage with mine, maybe 2 cm in length and they slimmed up a bit around the leg.

Mine is even more minimalistic.

The jeans I personally wear the most are the ones I’ve sized up in.

Damn the new 40s look really good. I rarely wear mine because of the absolutely silly high rise, so this is definitely an improvement.

Oh yeah those look really similar
