Think it was just deemed unnecessary use of materials during the war

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yeah that's what I think too..they got rid off the less necessary rivets..like on the coin pocket and also the crotch.

I thought about a '54 model as a winning pair. '50s cut with roomy top but a taper, still a leather patch and offset beltloop. LVC Japan did one of those some years ago

@snake: thanks for the measurements...well then I go with size 34!

[drapygo]

With all the sizing talk, I want to remind you guys that DenimProject will have the complete finalized size chart in January, just in-time for the order deadline!

never thought i would be buying a size 28

[Snake]

I think most of us are used to BIG measurements. Can't compare BIG method with Denim Project's directly. The way DP measures the waist makes the it seems larger than it is. Once Drapygo posts the raw measurements, we will see how much the denim shrinks.

[aho]

Everyone sit tight on the hemming services...Trying to work something out right now!

[aho]

Okay guys, not sure if there was a miscommunication earlier but hemming service WILL be provided (for free!). Taichi was just concerned that it won't be perfect and it might be off here or there from peoples request. For now, we will just wait for the first fabric testing to see how much shrinkage to expect; in my experience, 2.5 inches is average. The only disclaimer we need is that of course if the jeans aren't the exact length you needed after hemming, there will be NO RETURNS/NO CLAIMS, strictly because these are made to order.

Hopefully that clears things up? So yes, free hemming available!

[PeterParker]

Thanks for setting the record straight, aho! I admire your conviction when buying jeans - unlike most of us who don't bother hemming to length, you seem to always get a proper hem.

All this talk about hemming got me thinking: what hemming options would have been available circa 1946? Did Levi's make various inseam lengths for each size, as seen today? I doubt that many Union Specials were floating around in tailor shops (if they even accepted jeans for alterations!). That leaves cuffing or lopping them off with a pair of scissors...?

That being said, I'll have mine hemmed on the Union, please

[aho]

glad to clear things up, I know a few of us were concerned about walking around with giant/multiple cuffs until getting them a proper chainstitch!

Regarding back in the day, that's a good question...I'd assume they'd make different lengths as they do today, but perhaps a resident historian can chime in? unfortunately I don't think Paul T is aware of this discussion yet!

^snake, thanks for the raw measurements, and you're right, pretty typical 40's repro measurements. Damn, I just want to buy a 32 and start this contest already hahaha

And not that I'm gonna win, but what models would you all choose if you had the opportunity to decide the next cut (and free pair)? I'd either go all out with a 20's model (cinch, exposed rivets, suspender buttons etc.) or something easier on Taichi-san's budget like this WWII pair: http://www.marvins-j...old/dp-308.html

can he repro the fuckyeahcoinpocketroping?

[BrownMetallic]

'seems my current repro niche' or default are the 1950's model... a pair of '53 or '55.

'don't even no the nuances ... maybe some1 in the know can shed a light?

for a repro, i like the proportions of the roomy "V" top block + thigh with a stronger 1.5 to 2" [all around] taper from knee to hem, as with the FC 0105. great for cuff rolls, as well. imo.

And not that I'm gonna win, but what models would you all choose if you had the opportunity to decide the next cut (and free pair)? ....

[ranonranonarat]

with regards to the length of the jeans in the past, if memory serves me right, i once read somewhere that people in the past really didnt bother too much about the length. they simply cuffed it to the desired length. denim in the past was no means as extravagant as they were now. those who bothered enough about the length in the past really just did a DIY fix on the length as sewing machines were pretty commonplace back then. i really don't think that they would have bothered as much about a union special as we do...

[SLAB]

thats great news aho! And its very understandable Taichi doesnt take returns on hemmed jeans.

Indeed, they look well worn. The comments underneath the photos are mostly ridiculous though.

[Mich]

Agreed, some people commenting surely seem pretty ignorant, they look great.

It states these D00XX are a 1947 model, so this means this earlier run was based on a different model year than the current 1946 model?

I do like the old patch.

^related in a way...they worked together on a project (not sure if it's limited to that link you posted though) but aren't making jeans together right now!

btw, Happy New Year everyone! 2013 will be ridiculous awesome with these jeans!

Good find hoggreaser. Too bad Devis doesn't have that type II. I would rock that with my D00XX year round.

[big truck]

Any idea of how high the rear rise is on the contest jeans?

ww2 cut taichi san

ediee here

[Mich]

Hi Taichi, nice to see you here!

Please keep with the '46, it's more unique than a '44 pair f.i. which a lot of other company's already do.

How about that 2nd tab detail, like on the vintage '46 Levi's you've found?
