Real McCoy's 600 Ranch sub-brand - any idea what era these are? 1990s pre-Joe McCoy maybe? Jacket might be a nice wranglerpro option for someone? not too expensive and a reasonable size https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/auction/yahoo/input/h1194238684/ Arcs! Cords with arcs

Junky seems to have the current jeans line up of Wrangler Archives minus the jackets https://wrangler-jeans.jp/features/archives_pc.html (also note the Edwin Co., Ltd copyright at the bottom of the page). I think the consensus at least with the Lee stuff is that it's a good repro? Better job than say LVC does with Levi's. I think they did a 1948 prototype model repro at some point as well as the 50s stuff, but might have to look second hand for those.

Yeah buttons look like 213, sad story.

First pic is making me feel good about getting a narrow width embossed western belt from Codina kinda specifically to wear with my Sugar Cane 42s 🤠

Tender Co hadal brown reefer denim jacket / Undercover tee (from 2009 S/S I think?) / Equus belt / Slash Overalls S01 / Nicks boots

Some shots of my M-35 pullover. These are made by Kaoru same as the M-54 jeans and Type IIs and the Bartack Alls stuff. There was also a different version for Foremost with the proper tin US Army buttons. I don't mind having donut buttons instead, less likely to drop off 😄 denim is pretty hairy (with a few extra dog hairs thrown in) Think the hem roping is going to be bananas.

Jeans came in, same dark denim & pink-selvedge line as my jacket - LF44 I believe @Broark? Seller had washed pretty gently but I needed a fair bit more shrinkage for a size 34 to work, so chucked them in a 40 wash / 1600 rpm spin-cycle and a short run through the dryer on low heat. Definitely brought them to life (making me tempted to give the jacket the same treatment but don't need the shrinkage with it). Fit is good now and not too short in the inseam luckily. Looking through old Mercari listings (trying to gauge what shrinkage other people might have gotten) I spotted the same lot number visible on an older listing for a still raw pair, so I'm actually the third owner it seems 😅. Some before and after washing (with a day's wearing in): With the jacket (which is tub soaked only). It's the only matching denim tux I own but still doesn't look like it matches 😂. Well at least for now anyway.

I think you are in danger of overthinking things (I wouldn't worry about it bleeding through for example). If the fit is good just wear it and it'll break-in, even if it's a bit stiff at first. A soak will still leave it feeling stiff. If you need extra shrinkage for best fit beyond the one wash dimensions then try a machine wash to start with.

Unworn/unwashed pair in a size 36, in NP01 denim, popped up on mercari

Texas Tux does sound good, but Canadian Tux has the fun origin story involving Bing Crosby at a Vancouver Hotel and a literal denim tuxedo by Levi's

Yeah I noticed one of the stockists for the Cushman x Rebuilt 1937 Jeans was talking this up - (google translate from Junk House West) https://item.rakuten.co.jp/junkhousewest/003208/

Freewheelers 1922 506 / Andersen Andersen boatsman / Codina x Rite Stuff belt / Sugar Cane 1946 / Nicks

Haha yeah I feel like Freewheelers are good at finding vintage stuff that looks very Freewheelers-y if that makes sense, and then they have some original designs. Sometimes hard to tell which is which. I forget which jacket design but there was one where I assumed oh all those extra elaborations of stitching and pockets on top of pockets must be a FW exaggeration of period design... then saw the exact vintage piece on Fake Alpha or somewhere and was like ohhh

Chopper Builders looking good! Came across these 1950s vintage Carter's denim which I presume form most of the inspiration. They did bib overalls with the same layered front pockets and double knee as well.

Don't know. I have noticed quite a few stores that used to have Buyee as the pop-up recommended proxy service integrated on their websites have switched to Zenmarket now. Not sure the reason. Jeans are also up at Raze
