they're good.....a lot of my friends have a pair. they sell out of Long Beach at a vintage store and were originally made for the 50s rocknroll crowd but Nick is branching out to normal people now as well.

the details are nice, he replicated the vintage Levis very well and for the money are hard to pass up. i wouldnt hesitate to get a pair if i didnt already have several buckleback Lee and Levis.

i don't know, why not just buy levi's deadstock?

[Teddy Boy Rocker]

you're not gonna find deadstock 1937 Levis 501 redline bucklebacks in a full range of sizes for $100 readily available to buy any day of the week

Nick's doing the same thing a lot of the Japanese (Denime, Sugarcane etc) companies do in repro'ing hard to get Levis

[Yakboy Equals Nurturer]

Guy should really try to get those jeans on the Japanese market. If the quality is high enough the fact that they're US made repros should make them sell like crazy.

I was not knowing about this brand right in my backyard..

Do they still sell out of that store? If so, which store is it, and are they 100$ at the store as well?

About the only non-hidden back pocket rivet jeans I am interested in are buckle-back repros. (jeez, that's almost a tounge twister)

[giantreptile]

my point is that they are so close to the '37 levi's, then why not go for the original? i agree the price is good, but with a little patience and research, one could find the equivalent in levi's deadstock. yes, they are more expensive, but not THAT much. aeroleather maybe? i can't belive you're not with me on this one.

[Teddy Boy Rocker]

i agree that i'd rather have the Levis repro's, which I do.....but if i were in the market for that type of jean and really needed to blow my load, i'd totally get the Evil repros, and later on get the Levi's if/when i found em

as for which store in Long Beach, go to Sugar Lee on 4th st, that's where they sell out of. and yes, they are still $100 at the store.

[Teddy Boy Rocker]

no Evil doesnt make black denim...just dry indigo

*Bump*

Can someone please post some more pics of these (other than what's on the ebay link)?

Also, I dropped an email to the guys at hillhut and they said they're not carrying them currently..anyone know how else I can order a pair of these?

Thanks...

[Teddy Boy Rocker]

Hepcat Sweden has them. i got my Pace jeans there and the service was quick, got the jeans 7 days after i placed my order

they have some pics as well.

Hey Teddy,

I did actually see those online...I was more wondering if I could still get them anywhere for $95USD as that's a pretty good deal.

Thanks for the link though.

[Teddy Boy Rocker]

dont forget the Hepcat sweden price includes a VAT tax that US residents dont have to pay. my 995 SEK pace jeans ended up costing about 868 SEK ($116) which is including shipping costs.

[triniboy27]

Oh - good call on the tax.

And now for the tough question - sizing.

If i'm a 32 in Nudie RRDS, what should I be getting in these? 34?

Also, from the Hepcat pics, they don't seem to be a slim fit (which is good). Can you confirm?

Any other advice?

Thanks.

[Teddy Boy Rocker]

they are def not a slim fit, they have that relaxed fit of older Levis...a bit roomy in the legs, hips

as for sizing, i've never tried a pair on....i have friends that have em but i didnt size check em.

i'm assuming they are not sanforized since Hepcat is advising buying a size up. they do look nice in real life too.
