I think that SV is something silly like selvage arcs, which we all think are tacky. The non-SV with standard arcs are much better. They're a good choice Hster and one I meant to add to my list.

Usually I only take two pairs of jeans with me working overseas and this is the spare pair. Anyway, life goes on

Nylon jeans been taken good care of at home. Don't worry dude.

I think it will be ok, I hear the authorities are already on the case.

Apologies for the pic heavy posts, documenting my new Jelado 55's from RAW to shrink.

how's the waist working out for you mega? looks kind of tight.

[Megatron1505]

It's not too bad, should be perfect after a few wears I think. Plus, I'm a fatty so another excuse to slim is always welcome 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

quite a lot of roping for a single and not too hot (I assume) soak.

[Double 0 Soul]

Hows the acquisition of the chain stitch machine progressing mega?

[Megatron1505]

Slooooooooooooow dude, having firmly decided that a Union Special is far too expensive we've definitely decided on a Kansai, but finding the right one is proving a little tricky.

 

Price difference..

 

Union Special  - £2k - £5k

Kansai Special  - £400 - £750

 

I like the differentiator of hemming Japanese jeans on a Japanese machine anyway, and the KS is so much easier to use and maintain plus their main dealer is about 5 miles from my front door. Vive la Kansai !!

 

 

The 55's have now had a proper wash, in the machine at 60 degrees as advised by Yohei Goto of Jelado to ensure all the shrink is out. He also advised throwing them in a hot tumble dryer too but my balls are not that big 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

So you will also carry Jelado I guess?

Potential Jelado dealer within a 3hour round trip of my house, To quote StarTrek... Make it so.

Can someone compare the samurai s0510xx (15oz) to a pair of lvc 1955s?

I've tried all the different types of cuts: slim straight, tapered, tapered borderline skinny, straight, but the anti-fit seems to work best for me. The only problem is the rise is a bit long for where I wear my jeans. I'm curious to know how the Texas cotton will stretch/shrink but more so if the fit is anything like my 55's. I've read BFs fit guide but the lots were a from a few years back. I'm looking into this years model. Anyone?
