The evolution of my 714 after wearing it for 100 days and 3 washes.

Thank you for your answers. Not easy, I have the impression that I could take a W31 for the 0105 while I wear W33 in WH. The fabric is quite "elastic".

Hello, I would like advice on a fullcount 0105 13.7 OZ One Wash. I wear W33 in Resolute, Warehouse, and W32 in Denime (by WH). What size do you recommend for the FC 0105? With several washes, does the fabric shrink? Thank you in advance for your help.

I think it's great, it's real archival work. I wonder why the 501 XX is missing.

@indigoeagle I found this site which is interesting for historical information: https://denimarchieves.com/e/index.html

@indigoeagle Thanks for the advice, I will indeed take size W33.

Hello, I need some advice on model 1947 (standard) from Sugar Cane. I have never worn SG jeans, I have doubts about the size, what size do you advise me to take? I wear W33 in Resolute, W33 in Warehouse and W32 in Denime (by WH). Does the fabric stretch a lot? Another question, I saw that the jeans were sold One Wash at certain retailers, but the fabric seems almost raw, do you know if it reduces further with washing in the washing machine? Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you so much. Did you notice any additional shrinkage between the new one wash jeans and the first time you washed them?

@vlad_III Thank you so much

I need advice on the Freewheelers 601 XX 1947. Could you tell me how it sizes? I wear W33 in Resolute, Warehouse and W32 in Denime (by WH). This 1947 601 seems to be generating a lot of interest. I'll be curious to try it. I saw that there was also an L30, is it a real length 40? Does anyone have any measurements or advice on these jeans? Thank you in advance for your help.

@julian-wolf Do you have any recommendations for a book or article on the web on the subject? I have the famous book "501 XX A Collection of vintage jeans".

@silencejoe Thank you for the photos.

@indigoeagle Thank you for these explanations and this clarification. I found some matching information in this link: https://www.heddels.com/2016/11/vintage-levis-501-jeans-the-ultimate-collectors-guide/

Thanks, that's not wrong. The SC model looks well made. I'll probably try it.

Would anyone know the difference (if there is a difference) between: the last BIgE (period 1970-1971), without "V" stitch, with the upper belt in orange chain stitch, coin pocket without selvedge and the first model called "type 66" (period around 1971-1978?

Thanks for the information, I have quite a few jeans, I'm really looking for a reproduction of the 66 model. It's true that the banner denim is very cool.

OK, thanks, I'm keeping the SC 1966 in mind, because I just bought the WH 1947 DSB. I received it yesterday

Thank you for your reply. The SC 1966 is not a “66” repro, it rather corresponds to the period of the last BIgE (1970-1971)?

@beautiful_FrEaK Thank you for your reply. I just received my WH DSB 1947, I can't wait to see the cut. The Acorn VTG site is for me a very good reference for historical cuts/measurements.

@JohnM Thank you very much for this clarification, it is very useful to me. I will probably choose the SC model (I already have two Warehouses in my collection). It is true that "the best proportions" seem to be those of the 1947 model. I received my WH DSB 1947 just today.

I have lot 1101 (BigE 1970) from WH, I don't know if this one is considered "66 type", but I would like to compare it with the SC 1966.

@beautiful_FrEaK Thank you, I am trying to compare the measurements with originals presented on the site: https://store.acorn-vtg.com/ the measurements of the SC 1966 seem quite close. Do you know where their cotton comes from? USA?

@beautiful_FrEaK Thank you very much, this helps me There are many brands that offer the 66 model, what do you think of the Sugar Cane 1966? Is the fabric from the Cone Mills porch of this era? I'm looking for a "66" model that is as close as possible to the 501 of that era. Do you have one to recommend? I know that there is also the LR01 from Superstitch, the TCB 60 (but the height seems low to me). Thank you in advance for your advice.

Hello, what do you think is the best reproduction of the model 66?

Can anyone tell me about the 1966 Sugar Cane? How is the brand shaped compared to Warehouse or Resolute? I wear W33 pure WH and Resolute. Do you advise me to take the same size? Is the 1966 model a good reproduction? The fabric and the cut are similar to the 501 of this era? Does anyone have measurements for a size W32 or w33?
