[damnIam]

got say my cane 47s, predoom.

Close second my painted 44s LVC

third I like that shallow one on the LVC 66s for some reason

[bluespring]

SDA definitely

[BTT]

I always though the SDA with the dual different arcuate and one side red selvage and other orange was always nifty.

[lithiumsys]

Imperials by far. Followed by Nudie.

[sfwq]

SDA and Samurai.

[fallen angels]

i think i like SDA the most

the Samurai Lee repro arc is my fav amongst sam arcs

i like the FOBs too, most similar to modern levi arc, but with just a tiny difference.

[ordo]

Maybe someone could clarify this for me. I was under the impression that the term "arcuate" referred to back pocket stitching that is similar to that of Levi's (ie "arcs" or "arched"). Yet it seems to be being used to refer to anything on the back pocket at all, be it painted or stitched, in any shape or form. Is there a specific definition?

[Superstar]

it refers the the arch that the stitching forms... havent heard it been used to anything else on the backpocket ?

[Superstar]

they are nowhere near the same...

but people dont refer to those stitchings as arcuates anyways...

A lot of japanese brands do arcuates which resembles a lot to the ones levis does... they are formed as arcs, therefore arcuates...

nudie and imperials do their own thing, and arent formed like arcs... therfore they are not referred to as arcuates...

[Charlie Delta]

if I remember correctly arcuate is indeed the name for just the Levi's backpocket stitching, but people on here tend to refer to anything stitched or printed on a backpocket (to a certain degree) as an arcuate, especialy since most (used to) resemble Levi's so much.

edit: Superstar beat me to it, but has a different theory, anyway, at this moment he has exactly 500 more post than me and joined 4 months later, I however have more rep. I'm ready for the superthrash!

[ordo]

btw - I vote for 40400s

Iron heart, FOB, Samurai, SDA

[mr.indigo]

Adj.1.arcuate - forming or resembling an arch; "an arched ceiling"

ETYMOLOGY:

Latin arcutus, past participle of arcure, to bend like a bow, from arcus, bow

...and my vote would go to the Sugarcanes of old.

[Pandemonium]

I didn't think that those were arcuates - thanks for confirmation.

They're not arcuates.

BTW, did Sugar Cane stop making arcuates fullstop?

[synthi]

^ Yes, as of August 2006. They received a request from Levi's and complied voluntarily. The tab remains, the Japanese stores with arcuates on SC too are stock they had on hand prior to the change.

[moykky]

I don't like arcuates that much. Samurai is nice but I guess I like Edwin more.

[gimmegimme]

The Guitar Wolf lightning bolts & Imperial (well, the black's silver stitching).

[boogaloo]

I like the classic Levi's 501 the best. The 1933 design i with rivets, big pockets, tab and arcs. The best of non Levii's I would say are the 1947 Sugar Cane with Levi's copy arcs and tab, but no rivets unfortunately.
