WAYWT 2023 [denim edition]

[cultpop 0217]

Pulled some deadstock USA 517s out of storage today: one with attached tags 32x29 and one tagless 31x30 .  Thinking about saving the tagged pair for the Indigo Invitational next year but I'm currently trying to break in the other pair. 

 They are currently butt flatteningly tight but they should start to give in few days. The 0217 denim is pretty stiff at first. Lovely color and hand feel though.

P.S.  Has anyone bothered with the Indigo Invitational before? Wouldn't be very serious but might be fun.

Indeed a nice color on that pair @cultpop 0217. You wear it well. 
never heard of indigo invitational, i probably wouldn’t go even when it was held around the corner. I always feel uncomfortable when I see pictures of events like that. I don’t know exactly why.

 

meanwhile, here is a picture of my behind in my new pair of fulcount 0105 XX and an old lee western shirt, 5 euro fisherman hat, vans, while finally building up the fresh painted frame I made

@smoothsailor those full count look really nice. Are they actually wide or did you have to size up? 
 

indigo invitational is a yearly fading competition, not an actual event, if I remember correctly. 
 

 @cultpop 0217 if it is indeed a one year competition I personally wouldn’t bother. I see no point in going out of my was to destroy a pair of jeans in just one year of wear. Also unlike brand competitions that happen here from time to time I think it’s more about the how much you destroy and abuse your jeans etc etc, so if it’s the prizes you are after (which is justified, they are pretty sweet) most people really need to go out of their way to even have a chance. It’s just what I think though, and my opinion really doesn’t mean anything. You do you (:

 This is pretty close to my thinking. I don't actually want to destroy a pair of jeans in one year. I have denim that I've been wearing on and off for 20 plus years. I also love variety. 

 If I entered with a vintage pair it would just be to add some variety to the contest. 

[smoothsailor]

@Hopethisoneisnttaken thanks. It’s a wide pair. I probably fit in a 34, but I prefer 36.

never liked a slim fitted jeans

I have FC 0105 in my regular size and they are wide but not baggy, fit is perfect, very comfortable.

Been going through my piles of vintage and among the Wranglers, 501s and 517s I found these no name four pocket genes. 

Made in USA, 80% Cotton 20% Poly, bit of stretch, deep dark indigo, nice grain and color, double arcuates, no coin pocket YKK zip and a killer fade. 

Fit is very slim with a soft bootcut, and a fairly deep rise. Pretty close to the cotton blend 517s of the era with lighter weight denim. Hemmed at exactly my inseam too. 

Any guesses on the maker? 

Probably a house brand from JCPenny or K-Mart me thinks.

What better way to celebrate than some new old Mister Freedom? 

 

Ever since I saw Cotton Duck sporting a pair on here many many years ago (image below) I have wanted a pair but rarity and economics kept that from happening.
