Huf! .. they've come at the worst possible time, i appreciate.. never is a good time to splurge £1k on jeans .. but i'm partway through building a new work bike which needs to take priority / i can't ride to work on jeans can i?

..plus, i've just paid for our flights to try and avoid a jet fuel surcharge caused by the orange cretin..

Also saw this beautiful 101-B repro with some really wild fabric, code 321-M11040, looks to be size 40 judging by measurements, it'll be a little big for me but i would love to see someone here wearing it!

The M41001s are the standard cloth patch model from 97,

I think it's just perspective making the patch look elongated.. if you compare them to my pair on pg1, the amount of patch stitched over the yoke is about the same.

They look great^ fantastic pair of jeans for £45.. i bought a whole bunch of them in this condition back in the 2010s for around £25 each but since i moved this thread to sufu.. the days of cheap M41001 are long gone 😭

I really don't like this^ though.. it probably comes from the 1998 - 2003  "breaking away from replicas" period.. i appreciate 98-03 does devide opinion.

They made a whole bunch of denims in 'persuit of originality' .. going as far as coating them in a black suede effect which would peel off, revealing the indigo underneath :o .. it all makes sense though when you look at where the 50/50s.. the Awas, the  Edos and the plant dying techniques all fit into the Sugarcane timeline.

Came across this interesting pair of M41001s online, with an elongated nylon patch. Seller claims they are from 1997. Anyone know anything else about them?

I have a cloth patch pair a page or two up in the thread that we decided was circa 1997. The patch on my pair does extend below the yoke seam but I think that the perspective in the product photo makes it look longer. I love that pair though, one of my favorites. Makes me curious to try others at some point
