I think that was smart. I waited maybe a year of wear before I gave my 1955 jacket its first wash and it never softened up before I washed it.

New trucker jacket and fatigue pants are looking so good!

SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
NilsLW replied to minya's topic in superdenim
Kojima Genes, why are they priced on average lower than other similar japanese brands? -
I saw those, they look really nice! On a side note, has anyone here tried their oxford shirts?
-
A little update on my LR01s, been wearing them most days since October and have given them three washes. They are starting to show some nice fades.
-
I think that was quite expected when they were bought up. Currently following if the same will happen to Our Legacy, their prices have gone up like crazy too.
-
Found a wild rhubarb patch while out on a walk today (wearing SC 66s). Became quite a harvest! Any suggestions on what to do with it all?
-
Bumping this thread because I want to see what denim shirts people are wearing!
-
@PrettyBoyTony That seems plausible, I believe LVC shrink around 8-10% just like old 501s did. And I can’t remember how stretchy the denim was. You can always go for the 1955 if you want a more straight cut, imo the back pocket placement is also a bit better on those.
-
@PrettyBoyTony Yes, modern LVC are pretty short in inseam, they should shrink to around 78 cm. Tried a pair of LVC 66s for a while but they were not for me so I returned them (bought them one wash so I wore them post shrink). My issues were that they were too short and the silhouette was too tapered, this can be fine if there is some stacking but the small leg opening was really exaggerated by the fact that I had no break over my shoes. If there was a L36 option I would give them another chance.

Perfect comfy fit. Where’s the hoodie from?
-
Spring is here so today I'm happily wearing Superstitch LR01 / Sugar Cane 53 tux.
-
Just why. To me Naked and Famous has always felt like a gimmicky brand, I’ve yet to see a pair from them that I’d actually wear.
-
@winteracr Looks really really good. Had the same issue with my Resolutes so did the same thing there, afterwards they became much more enjoyable to wear.
-
@PrettyBoyTony Yes I've had a pair for a few years now and they are probably my favorite jeans, much more roomy and overall a more balanced fit than the 710 imo. The denim is not very similar to Resolute, less fluffy when new and doesn't fade into the same sky-blue color as the 710. Has a bit of a green cast reminiscent of older Levi's from the early 60s and 50s. The Sugar Cane 66 feels like a repro of an older jean than the Resolute 710.
-
Just bought some 70s style bush pants second hand from a brand called High Rock Okayama, anyone know anything about this brand?
-
@PrettyBoyTony I think Resolute doesn't talk about where their cotton is from because they really don't know, and Hayashi has claimed in an interview that it's really hard to exactly know the source and to be honest he probably doesn't care all that much. I've tried some 66 cuts and Resolute are the slimmest so I think you'll be fine with most other options.

@Alec Leamas I bleached an old pair of 501s a few years ago. The fabric became a lot more soft, but not in a good way, they felt almost like sweatpants. Color became a 90s even sky blue. It’s a fun project to try on a pair you don’t care for anymore. Just remember to agitate them in the bleach solution sometimes or the bleaching will come out spotty/uneven.
-
@horriblyjollyjinx Maybe, probably. But there are many people today that recognizes that the specific products they usually buy isn’t the same as it was a few years ago. So not completely unthinkable that this applied to people 50 years ago.
-
@MJF9 I was told when I was there but sadly do not remember the name. He posts from Japan pretty regularly on instagram when he visits his manufacturers so you can maybe look there?
-
@reubensangwich Yea its probably the last time I'm buying jeans for 300 euro, but they do have a more "premium" feel than my Sugar Cane 66s. The Mepse stuff looks good though, not too many faded examples on the web yet.
-
@reubensangwich Check out this one: https://mepse.base.shop/items/94947617 It's from a new brand and I believe on sufu only @beautiful_FrEaK have tried it so can't speak of quality but measurements match original post shrink. We also have Superstitch Paris, their type II is also closer to original: https://superstitchmfg.com/collection/denim/jackets/lr11/ Bought their 66 cut jeans when I was in Paris and they are superb, all their stuff looks really really nice. But as you say the type II from Sugar Cane that I have is definitely longer than the original Levi's cut.

@AlientoyWorkmachine I also try to collect one physical thing only, had a serious amount of cassette tapes but decided that vinyl was to be my one thing, looks cleaner in the shelves anyways. Important to keep the hoarding tendencies in check or else my stuff starts to own me lol -
Mepse is releasing a great looking 1954 XX cut and a type II jacket https://mepse.base.shop/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAab5-ngxbl2KorrB7LPEWKLvdWuZzp7f0kXnP86LLEER1RHnkORBu0Gqg8c_aem_kr9szfe6odr3a2W4SwzsnQ

Someone on the Levis website isn't happy with the leg twist on their (3rd pair) of LVC 66 lol.
