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

Orslow just released their own 66 repro, simply called ”66”. Looks really good from fit pics online.

Love the fit on both the 505s and the 50s.

@Alec Leamas I would describe the 505 as a really neutral fit. It is straight with a touch of taper (like many "straight" fits from fashion brands these days which rarely are completely straight from the knee down like mid-century 501s), it also has a pretty high rise where the denim tapers in towards the waistband giving the fit a vintage vibe. The back pockets are placed fairly high which is quite flattering too imo. Neither wide nor straight I would describe them simply as a good standard jean, which is probably why its not as popular among repro heads.

Vintage Gats, Resolute 710s and an old embroidered Agnes b. t shirt.

@beautiful_FrEaK Thanks! Good to know, I've been wanting to try the 224 when my SC 66 wears out. I'll order the regular 224 then since I prefer the slightly wider leg.

@Maynard Friedman It's probably the new one, since I got it 2 years ago. Sorry to hear you were not happy with it, personally I love it and use it all the time. It's an XL and has very similar dimensions to a regular modern size M sweatshirt from Nike. Perhaps I'm more into thinner fabrics, the Camber hoodies I have lying around are sadly way to thick for me. Edit: now that I look at it, the v-stitch at the neck on mine is done with a different fabric so maybe our versions are different?

What is the difference between the 224 and the 224-66? Different denim but same fit?

@Ciabatta Don’t think so, maybe the tiniest bit. Washed mine a lot and would say it’s about the same size. They are undersized however, I’m usually a medium but in the Buzz I’m an xl.

Agreed. My Buzz Rickson sweatshirt is my first high quality sweatshirt and unlike my old Champions and Nikes it only gets softer and better with time.

@HGS Sweet fades. Makes me wonder if the TCB 50s is the best bang-for-your-buck overall standard repro jean out there? Pattern is spot on and the fabric is lovely.

@AlientoyWorkmachine Amazing pictures, really cool that you took these and honestly I prefer this over an image of a shuttle loom. Imo not only are they cool from a denim-nerd standpoint but they are also good pictures in their own right.

Nice that’s a cool shirt
