Someone from France put these Mt Fujis on the bay. Size 34 and in pretty good condition
Not mine obvs. 

Also found these M-Series beauties through yahoo, not my size...

Jeez, those were a “holy grail” pair for me for years

If only they hadn’t been hemmed so short I’d be all over them

[Thanks_M8]

Hayashi-san style? gotta wear my 1955Zs the same way for the same reason.

Someone really wanted train tracks quite badly...

[Maynard Friedman]

They look like they have the same 00 button backs as my pair of M41326 on the previous page.

Re- Mt Fuji's/Sumao's.. here's some infos i gathered and posted on DB.. (is that place still going?)

^^The pair on ebay.. i would say  are the second pair I've posted, they have no green tab, the patch has survived and you can just about make out the "eed" of Every Garment Guaranteed" also the thread is copper coloured and they have different (regular) buttons... but they do have a coin pocket stitch?

....
I can't find a product code, i don't think its on the pocket label, there might not even be one.
There were two different models, after a hot soak the patch turns brown (and often falls off) did it show Mt Fuji or a sumo wrestler? I can't quite remember..

They are 100% cotton (not sc mix) this pair are pink-line denim probably around 14oz

...with lovely black laurel/donut buttons and the green tab® is possitioned on the coin pocket rather than the back pocket.

 

Some fading examples here, these images are rather poor but the info on these is extremely limited. Edit- link now dead (I think it was GeoCities)




Second pair were a limited edition of 200 pairs
There is no Mt.Fuji stitch on the coin pocket and no tab whatsoever.
The Mt. Fuji back pocket stitch also differs from the example above, different thread colour..ect

Sumo patch, notice there's no Lot number either.. this patch tends to stay intact

I acquired an interesting pair of M41001. My previous pair are some of the early non-laurel button version but I am a sucker for wartime details so I was looking for a pair with them as well. I came across these with details I hadn't seen anywhere. Levi's arcs with an unbranded tab. 

[Graytrain]

I'll get a fit pic up soon as well. I love this fit. Straight down from the hip. 

[Graytrain]

And the fit. 

[chicote]

Amazing fit on those, and thanks for the detail pictures!!

[Graytrain]

Thanks Chicote! 

[diggers]

i got the jeans a couple years ago, even tho it wasnt my size  (my size 34, the jeans 32) . i bought it bcoz it was in mint condition (almost line new) & price around $25. but it fits me now & currently im trying to break in.

M41101... lovely jeans

Raw pics below...

I've now washed them and the waist is spot on... will post measurements and pics soon

Very pleased to cop them, irrespective of price and tax... thanks to Austin for the link!

[Dr_Heech]

They do look like decent repro Lee pre-war bucklebacks. Nice pick up @MJF9 - looking forward to seeing how these progress. 

 

[MJF9]

Cheers doc, will do - just not sure when I'll be wearing them atm... they might need to jump the queue

I remembered @chicote has a pair a few pages back that were looking so so good - deffo worth a look

A raw pair of these, BNWOT in size 34 went for about ¥15,500 on Yahoo at the weekend. I was watching them and wondering if anyone on here bought them?

[julian-wolf]

That was me

[Maynard Friedman]

Thought it might have been. Good score! 

[julian-wolf]

Thanks. Thinking I’m gonna wear them sooner rather than later, if they fit how I’m expecting
