SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)

[rubyblue]

Hi y'all,

Who can help me find the best Denim shops in France (North to South)?

Any info will be much appreciated!

(You may exclude Kiliwatch & Rockers Speed Shop, both in Paris)

Besides the Sugarcane 1966 and the Denime 66x, is there any company that makes 1966 501 repros?

I've been wearing a pair of LVC 1955's and I love the fit but I would like something with a similar top block but a bit more taper below the knee. I don't really want to buy the LVC 1966.

[Digo]

A friend of mine recently spilled the entire contents of his large peach nestea on my imperials. These have only been worn about 2 months and are far from their first wash. However, there is no visible stain from the accident or any resulting smell or stickiness. Its really seems as if nothing ever happened. Should I leave it as is or should I wash? If I should wash, how should I do it?

Is anyone else having problems with pages loading on this site? For quite a while now, every time I click on a link, it takes forever to start loading the page. Lately it averages 20-30 seconds, sometimes even longer. Once the page starts loading it loads fairly quickly, it just takes forever for it to start loading. I don't have this problem on any other websites.

There are quite a lot of the Japanese brands which have their own attempt of a '66 cut. But I don't think they are very close to the original. But these count:

FlatHead 3009 or F380

Samurai S0510XX66-2 or S0510XX66-RR (the latter is easier to buy)

Some also describe the S5000VX as a modified '66 cut.

The new brand from Denime founder Hayashi: Resolute 710

Maybe the Fullcount 1108 also counts as a '66 cut

Thanks. I actually have the 1108c and its a straighter cut than the LVC 1955. You're right none of those seem to be close, oh well.

I suspect that the Warehouse 660 comes pretty close in terms of fit and not details. The Joe McCoy 906 is closer in details but less in fit. I think that Denime is the closest in terms of fit and details.

I have a pair of raw denim jeans and I have worn them for a few weeks and the thread in high wear areas look like its going to wear through any day now. Should I soak them to make the denim and thread less rigid ?

Are you wearing them raw?

[apples]

Thanks to whichever moderator who deleted my thread.. I did mean to post it in the Supermarket, but lack of sleep does wonderful things for cognition.

[dave28]

Are you wearing them raw?

Yes 100% raw, they have never been wet before

[chantheman]

I just wondering what's a new pair of LVC 1920 201 size 29 (555) worth nowadays, thank you.

[halls]

what must one's post count be before they can add attachments ?

I got £135 or so for NTW, 33W, on eBay - disappointingly, slightly less than a NWT 1947. Not enough discerning people around apparently.

So...finally I have some nice combs evolving on my skulls!

And I'm very excited about them finally coming through, but I was perchance thinking of starting to wear my pants a bit higher on my waist

I'm assuming this will change where the combs will form, is there something I could do so that I dont have two seperate combs forming? I doubt it but throwing the idea out there. Grazie

[Harry Hood]

How should I size on a pair of duck Carhartt Ropers?

Do they run a little big like some of their usual US line or not really, and does anyone know shrinking on these?

Thanks alot if anyone knows about these!

Is there a thread on sufu about Wrangler repro's?

which japanese denim brands make wrangler repros?

[mikecch]

Edwin & McCoy's made some of the official ones!

I have one of the Edwin ones, very happy with them, especially considering their price-point.

[SLAB]

samurai jeans has a model that is inspired on a wrangler i believe

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yes, the S0210XJ

besides that are the models, mike already mentioned

Which Wranglers do you have mikecch?

[mikecch]

Ooops, my bad, I thought he was asking about licensed reproductions.

I think SDA also has some nice Wrangler repros, both in standard and limited editions (see Pants Shop).

Sugar Cane also did some many years ago - these would be hard to track down now

[mikecch]

Which Wranglers do you have mikecch?

The 11MW m1112-29, made by Edwin (it was the last 11MW Wrangler Blue Bell to be made in Japan).

[Maynard Friedman]

Thanks mikecch. Are they button or zip fly? Also, does the waist come up larger than tagged size?

[mikecch]

Hi, the one I have is the 11mwb (1964), the button-fly. A zipper fly was also released the same year with the same fabric.

I think they called the original 1964 11mw this repro was based on the phantom/ghost jeans, since the model was only produced for one year, and then terminated.

The waist shrinks to tag size after a soak; the fabric is sanforised.

[Maynard Friedman]

Repped mikecch, thanks for the helpful info.

[mikecch]

No problems mate! And if any one is interested, here's a 50th anniversary natural indigo Wrangler (69,000 yen at Pants Shop ):
