How many pairs of jeans do you own?

[Dr_Heech]

^what's the line up Duke?

And what's with the lightning bolt?

 

[Duke Mantee]

@Dr_Heech ‘39, ‘43, ‘47 and ‘51 Doc ... 4 year intervals

The ‘46 is much too similar in thought to the ‘43 so I’ve decided against them. Just the forthcoming early version with cinch and rivets to go and I’m leaving it at that.

The lightning bolt is not something I know the real history of - but I do think it’s the best arctuate ever on a pair of jeans.

Have to disagree on the best arcuate when compared to the Bootleggers tour 47's. But then again l've always been biased in that department  

Looking forward to seeing your forthcoming early version mate. When's it due out?

No need mate , you can do it from the comfort of the couch 

I think we've discovered that is not necessarily the case. Guess l must be jinxed

Well the old arc is a classic  - I wasn’t the biggest fan of the lightning bolt to begin with but the more I see it the better it looks. Arcs are very personal, some just work perfectly but some are real ugly.

It’s a summer issue for the new denim - I’m hoping they’re one of the first items from the collection to be released so maybe in a couple of months

@Duodequinquagesimus Phew! That’s a welcome relief. Based on your shoe collection, I had no idea what to expect and was fearing the worst... 

[Duodequinquagesimus]

Don’t count your chickens...

Wait until I find some more jeans....and more shoes coming up

 

[MJF9]

^ ha good shout! I was a bit disappointed actually... I was hoping for some True Religion and All Mankind... 

[Duodequinquagesimus]

Ok, this lockdown is making me open some auld wardrobes. Hope you enjoy.

Roberto Cavalli

John Richmond 

John Galliano

Cavalli jeans

 

 

[bartlebyyphonics]

oh my....

[Double 0 Soul]

@Duodequinquagesimus any chance of a fit pic? i'm thinking those Cavalli's with the red pointy 'drop dead fred' boots and erm... anything by Versace up top would be perfect.

[Duodequinquagesimus]

^ I can try ...but I’m size 33 and these ones are all 31.

im keeping them for the future when ageing will make me lose muscle (not fat)

[SuperJackle]

Some true religion with metal studs on the back pockets and 1 stitch per inch construction should round out that collection nicely 

[julian-wolf]

Lots of the shoes are just sorta funny to look at but wow those are genuinely hideous

Surely you opened the wrong wardrobe , there the misses trousers ..... aren't they ? 

[Duodequinquagesimus]

True, I really missed them. 
Thank you Flash

[Maynard Friedman]

He’s a golfer, so these are standard issue. I think he always has two pairs in each colour - in case he gets a hole in one!

[MJF9]

@Jimmy Tarbuck has got a pair of those red ones, rocks them with a diamond Lyle & Scott

Not strictly speaking jeans though (he says after checking what thread we're in)

@MJF9 damn right my friend.  I’d leave to pink ones to Corbett though.

I have to agree: is there a chino thread to extend the sartorial trolliage?

[julian-wolf]

I think slacks qualify  as General Nonsense?

[wmb]

@Duodequinquagesimus amazing you kept all this stuff -- you must have plenty of storage
