Yay.. joining the Denime club soon!

Did you pick them up from eBay? There was a pair several weeks ago and wasn't sold

[rustygoose]

Thnx for the link, great read..

 

I'm having a hard time understanding Denimes lot numbers, can anyone explain?

Are they just random or do they mean something?

[rustygoose]

Yup, got these from ebay.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the Lot# are mostly random (true for Orizzonti and Shins era). Except for Lot.178, that was a model some time ago.

[slowdownarthur]

I wonder if anyone could help me i.d. these Denime (basic) jeans more precisely, please. 

 The tag inside the back pocket is missing. The label is paper, see photo. The coin pocket isn't selvedge.

I bought them since the late 90s and they no longer fit.I'd like to sell them but dont know the exact model to list.

 

Thanks!

 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

double chainstitched waistband from what I see? rounded rivets? no hidden selvage on the coin pocket. should be some 66 cut

[slowdownarthur]

Thanks bF, Yes, rounded rivets with 'Denime Basic' on them. The cut does look like a '66 but I wasn't sure.

Much appreciated.

[Double 0 Soul]

He's good isnt he? next time eyes shut one hand tied behind his back.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

that writing on the rivet is another sign. this could be a pair of standard Denime 66. Late 90s should be still Orizzonti era. Red tab? Or black or blue for international market?

[slowdownarthur]

Wow! Like Double O says, you are good!

 

The tab is dark blue. I bought them from Browns in South Molton Street back in (I'm pretty sure) '98. So, from what you say they will be Orizzonti era, though the inside label is missing. The denim is beautiful.

 

(Browns had a batch of Denime, which, at the time, I'd never seen before in London. They were selling them cheaper than the other Japanese denim available in town. I snapped up a couple of pairs and these remain. )

 

Thanks very much bF.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thx

Denime were sold overseas with a those dark blue tabs in the 90s. I think back then mainly in the UK. AFAIK, the were modeled after the typical Levi's cuts ('50s, 't60s) but were labelled with names instead (can't remember which names, but just like Diesel gives a name to their cuts). Sometimes you see an old pair of those on eBay. I don't think they used their XX denim for that line but rather their standard (and a touch lighter) denim.

How slim are the New 66's, I see measurments but sometimes I can never tell hip tightness through measurments. For reference I wear a 1947 Sugar Canes in size 34 that fit well all stretched out, looking at a size 36 New 66. 

[rustygoose]

I don't own the 66xx, but i guess it depends on your build.

 

If you are normal/slim i think 34 works, i have big legs so i always have to go up 1 or 2 in 66 cuts.

 

I think a few ppl here have the new 66xx, they can give a better answer.

[rustygoose]

Just soaked & almost dry. Sorry for bad iphone pics & sloppy triplecuff, gonna hem these later on..

 

Otherwise, just wow.. these are amazing.. so happy i bought em!

 

 

 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^^ Careful there is a difference between New 66 and the 66XX. And there are/were 2 types of non-XX '66 cuts. Both are a bit oversized in the waist but will shrink down. Watch out for the thigh measurements!

 

^is that the pair you got from eBay? Was the seller located in the UK? I'm just wondering because the pair I saw in size 34 had Lot.342 (or something like that)

Edited June 28, 2013 by beautiful_FrEaK

[rustygoose]

Yup, ebay & UK, these are the ones that didn't sell first time.

[rustygoose]

I checked your 1951 pics, everything seems to be the same on these.

 

Don't know why lot is different, maybe made another run/year or something?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

no, Denime printed a random number one those. Some got the same number, some a different one. This pair was a one run jeans

[rustygoose]

Aah ok, i learn something new everyday.

[Double 0 Soul]

Did you pay £150 for them rusty?

[rustygoose]

£160 shipped

[pomata]

I have a real camera now, so I'm finally taking pictures of my pair. The pictures aren't good, mind you, but they'll do.
