Denime

[Maynard Friedman]

Looks great Flash, stop being such a tart and just wear 'em!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

exactly! the length looks great and after all it's a fuller 50s cut. I know you already washed them and they should be softer by now but I still think once you really break them in, the bunching in the crotch region will go away

[Flash]

the waist is perfect mate , there straight out of a wash in these pics and i still have some breathing room

[oomslokop]

they look great, from behind they look pretty much the same as your contest ooes, maybe with slightly thinner thighs.

[pomata]

Great, go ahead and wear them hard then!

[aho]

what can I say, perfect fit!

[Flash]

thanks guys , guess i just need to get used to the fuller cut

wore the denime's for a bit yesterday and i have to say that i really am loving the fit now , thanks again for the comments guys 

 

took some detail pics since i got a decent camera

 

the patch feels really hard and kind of brittle after the hot wash but has a great texture

 

 

allways loved the little stitch in the corner of the pocket 

 

 

some pics of the hardware 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the xx denim is among my favorite denims without a doubt , the texture is great rough and slightly slubby but in no way over the top or exaggerated

That's pretty common with Denime patches Flash, i've tried softening mine up with Obenaufs and other stuff numerous times, but nothing really seems to be able to do that.

it's something i've learned to appreciate, your patch looks great anyway and so does the fit on your XX-type.

thanks mate , yea a lot of the worn denime's i see on japanese blogs the patches are long gone 

 

i think they could have used goat leather , it feels really similar to the patch on my ooe s9202xx's and its goat leather

Heads up to London denim(e)heads. I've just come from Interstate in Covent Garden, which is sadly having a closing down sale. They have 1 pair of Denime left in a tagged 36 in one-wash state that measure 34. Lot No on the label is 915 and I assume they are a XX-type cut as they have hidden back pocket rivets. No red tab but a blue Denime tab on the left back pocket, so I assume they were made for the export market. Label inside says 'Mitsubishi Ltd' so that should provide a clue to their vintage. Yours for £130 if you can move your arse there sharpish.

They also had some second-hand 501s (I saw a pair of Big E's) and lots of old stock from Edwin, Camber T-shirts, etc. they even had a pair of non-selvage US made STFs in size 60!

It's a shame it's closing because it's a bit of an institution to me and the place where I bought my first Japanese jeans (Edwin Waynesville - in 2002) amongst loads of other stuff.

Happy bargain hunting! I just made do with a US made Spiewak N3B, which I've been in search of for some time now

They also have a few Denime denim jackets left, but mostly in larger sizes,

Well still no idea on what the cloth patch means, but I bought them anyway as I have a weakness for Denime.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Wasn't a cloth patch used for the Levi's 201 (aka the cheaper Levi's line back then)?

Could be an explanation

[Mr-Bielby]

I thought that, but the fit is unlike any 201 I've seen

[beautiful_FrEaK]

If you would have more pics of the jeans than just the cloth patch, maybe that can help. Although I'm not an expert. Especially for older models

[Mr-Bielby]

As you request.

No rivets, which I prefer, no selvedge in the coin pocket, there was a tag in the bag pocket (now long gone). Denim flat and soft, again just how I like it. Love trawling through 2nd hand shops in Japan.

 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

okay that looks nothing like a 201.

mhh..or they just thought it would be fun to add it

 

but I can't tell you what model it is. Maybe Coleslawyum can identify
