If you've lost your faith in superfuture, Oh the end won't be long

Because if it's gone for you then I too may lose it, And that would be wrong

I've tried so hard to keep myself from falling

Back into my bad old ways

And it chars my heart to always hear you calling

Calling for the good old days

Because there were no good old days

These are the good old days

I have about 10 pairs of jeans. These are my favorites:

Hey Ryu...I'm curious about your name...At first I thought it was a reference to the Street Fighter 2 character but I looked up the translation of "ryu" but got alot of different meanings...from "flow"...to "energy"...to "school"...to "style" .... im thinking with your notoriety that its a little bit of them all

but anyway, my jeans...for now

Levis 606 A-Type's

Levis LVC Denim Devotee 1901 501's (altered to fit more like a 606)

Levis Red (Dark Calendar - 5 pieces of denim stitched together...these fit like 505's)

Diesel Onijo's

[airfrogusmc]

for me its Levis vintage.

1 pair 1901s

2 pair of 1920s 201s

2 pairs 1933 501s

2 pair of 1937 201s red line

1 pair of 1937 501s

1 pair of 1947 501s

Thats all....

[sybaritical]

1 pair of Evisu Japan - I bought them 7 years ago in Tokyo and don't know the model. NO.2 denim, with a

blue and gold selvedge and beautiful stitched gulls.

1 pair of Evisu Japan - Interesting jean, bought around the same time on the recommendation of the Evisya

Tailor in Daikanyama.They're non selvedge, with triple stitched seams, a reinforced

butt, and light blue screen printed gulls.

I wore these in for 4 years, rotating them 2 months on and 2 months off, before

retiring them and beginning work on ...

1 Pair of LVC 1933's.

1 pair of LVC 1937's. With 2 years wear and only 2 dry cleans and one cold soak, They began to feel

overworked so I bought ....

1 Pair PRPS purple selvedge one wash - My current project, and I'm still not sure what I think of these yet.

The fit has proved to be dsigusting but the detail is there and

the denim and is nice.

I also have 2 pairs of unworn Uniqlo selvedge which I am beginning to come around to but haven't worn yet.

[mizanation]

sybaritical - two pairs of uniqlo? you wouldn't want to part with one of them, right?

oh, and i have bunch of jeans but only a couple which i like.

Sugarcane 1947s

Uniqlo Vintage Wash

Guess Hermosa's

Rustler Rigid Regular-Fit

Levi's Lot 53 Selvage (i don't wear these anymore but i guess these would be my first selvage jeans!)

2 Levi's 501 Redlines

Very Old Vintage Workpants (coming soon, via cheap mofo)

Oh, and the pair that I made (more on the way!)

various other jeans that i don't wear anymore--a few nautica (which aren't too bad), old ralph lauren (nice quality), pelle pelle (yes, pelle pelle)
