Happy Jeans - Tcb 20s contest thread


Recommended Posts

really interesting!

The mag details (I am too lazy to translate, but if anyone with capacity can chime in that would be great) in English seem to list 1922 and 501xx? 

What are the 201 details that leap out? belt-loop and/or back-pocket placement?

that's what I thought...

a comparison... of my 555 lvc 201s to the tcb20s...

[its the non-black of the buttons above that confuse me, but certainly the placement front belt-loops of the Japanese mag picture are akin to the lvc 201, but the 201 back pockets are placed higher than the 501?]

 [sorry; having a geek-out Friday...]

I have mangled that particular pair of 201's - I couldn't handle wider hems back then - this 20 competition is my penance to them!

(now smaller hems seem like the devils work)

regrets also the devils work: for that reason cone-bagging frantically to not regret loosing particular models and textile weaves...

I gave away my 201s (bought from A Butcher of Distinction) to my brother-in-law years ago after a mis-sizing episode based on expectations of a level of shrinkage that never materialised despite a boil wash. Good jeans.

I bought my 201s oversized, however also could not work out how to deal with the hem or what footwear worked, had them shortened what I thought was too much and my (now) wife remembers trying to stretch them manually wet, her on one end, me on the other pulling her everywhere :)... if I knew back then...

They went very cheap in a bundle on eBay with (I think) an 1890s, 1955, some others... can't exactly recall because I wanted a clear out and wasn't there at the time... best forgotten until you fellas brought it all up again :)

indeed indeed

the real trauma is that I cant comfortably fit into the older pair anyway due to waist inflation...

Do the 201s run small?  I've been eyeing that pair Beatle has on grailed.

which reminds me: @srudy the 201 I have are old (from early 2000s) and bought 2nd hand, but clearly shrunk from 36 down to 34-ish waist and staying there, whereas the models I am buying now (within last 12 months), def shrink and then stretch out to stated size (i.e. 36 waists are shrinking but then happily going out to 37 both at 9oz and 12 oz)... more pix in the lvc thread so as to not clutter this one...

It is about 2 months since I started wearing it at work.

I am washing it without putting detergent.

It seems that color fading is slow because of that.

And I embroidered by hand sewing.

I spent 3 weeks.

@bartlebyyphonics Thank you!!

Your photos are wonderful photos that you can feel "wind" "temperature" "smell" "air" ... all.

thank you @Uncle Karl

here in the UK autumn is the most complex of the seasons I think: so many approaches to the senses to catch and live with...

I truly appreciate your most excellent pictures of nature and life too

your jeans are looking great, and the stitching on the jacket is wonderful also!

あなた@カールカールありがとう 

ここイギリスの秋には、私が考える季節の中で最も複雑なものがあります。

私は本当にあなたの最も優れた自然と人生の写真にも感謝しています。

あなたのジーンズはすばらしく見え、ジャケットのステッチも素晴らしいです! 

@bartlebyyphonics Thank you as always!

Autumn is a lonely feeling, but I like it.
