3 inch cuff and the turn ups

Was thinking of hardcore too:

• 3 Inches of Cuff

But also:

• Dyeing to Fade
• The Back Pocket Flashers
• Acid Wash
• Distressed
• Wabash & The Chambrays
• Rivet and the Bartacks

I watched the new Beetlejuice last night.. don't bother, it's wank!

One of the characters dressed as James Dean for Halloween, i grabbed a screenshot of his jeans

What's going on here!? they're not a 101z?

Come on Tim, i'd excuse your hackneyed film mking if you got the details right..

[rbeck]

A friend of mine who's into denim was asking me about my washing procedure on my homemade jeans the other day and was shocked when I told him I machine wash every few weeks and even tumble dry em. Unfortunately he's not close enough of a friend for me to really get into my opinions in washing lol.

Regarding denim in new movies, Saturday Night has some good flares and other 70s garms, it was a lot of fun. Worth checking out if you can!

Looks like Levi's is back at it, suing Full Count for the 3rd time over arcs and tabs.

Wait what.. who’s arcs were TCB    plagiarising again?

FC, allegedly.

[Cold Summer]

Wait, what? Didn't Full Count dump their arcs and tabs over five years ago? Did Levi's build their own time machine so they can sue temporal offenders at will?

[ATWM]

This suit specifically mentions their 30th anniversary edition so maybe they brought them back for it? Which would be…surprising. 

[Broark]

@Cold Summer they did dump the arcs, but I think this was specifically in retaliation to the 30th anniversary collection which had arcs and tabs if I recall correctly.

Haha maybe they had to raise their prices and control export pricing in anticipation of the legal fees to come for their 30th anniversary pair

Levi’s should force FC to recall all the 30th ani pairs to be unpicked by means of poetic justice..

[tooth]

I have the 1101 30 anniversary, which I bought from their Harajuku store while on a trip to Japan, and can confirm that they do have the arcs and tab… I think they were trying to stay as true as possible to the original jeans. I forget if these were exported, but would be interesting to know if the denim included arcs and tab if they were.

The book that came with the jeans is quite nice, but if I hadn’t been in store I would have passed. Pretty sure this is where the higher cost came from.

[CSL]

Well phew! I'm relieved I got the 30th anniversary version without the arcs.
Narrowly escaping a scenario where some pitbull lawyer chases me down on the street & attempts to rip my pants off...🤣

Alternatively, the pitbull lawyer could avoid touching the pants and only try to pinch off the arcs and cut off the tag on the go.

I can understand the red tags but unless the arcs are identical, they shouldn't own all arcs on back pockets. 

 

 

 

[Double 0 Soul]

They don’t ‘own all arcs on back pockets’ the Levi’s arcs are a registered trademark and if your arcs look Levi-esque the lawyers will act for infringement / copyright protection.

That would be a good story in the “what are your jeans doing” thread though

[ATWM]

I know with the trademark it’s not the same, but copyright on IP lasts 70 years in the US. With good reason.
 

No one at Levi’s now has any personal claim to the arcs (those folks are all long dead) any more than does anyone at any other brand. Pre 1950 arcs should be in the public domain.
