gap 1969 pics posted

[advan]

picked these up at gap yesterday. $78 bucks, from the 1969 collection, most of the jeans there were subpar, but these i thought were cool. they have the waxed feeling to em, pics below

dont know about you guys, but i like em, fit good, different, and dont look like typical gap jeans.

Look kinda like the Levis N3BP.

Carpe Denim!

yea, kinda caught my eye, not bad for under a bill. how long do you think the waxy feeling will last? will it go away after one wash? or does it stick on there pretty good.

are they selvage? doesn't look like it. i had heard that they were??

No Shirt. No Shoes. No Dice.

Learn it. Know it. Live it.

[advan]

not sure, someone will chime in on it im sure though. wasn't my reason for the purchase, just thought they were a good buy.

is there a way to tell?

[aitsuka]

they look like half selvedge, but i am noob what do I know

maybe any denim master teach me to tell the difference with these pictures as examples?

-don't hate, appreciate-

[stirwell]

i had heard they were going to be selvedge also. doesn't look like it from the pics but they still look good.

You're probably looking at Serge's pic.

Those Gap jeans look like they have bound seams. It's an expensive process. These aren't 'selvedge', although Gap does make selvedge jeans occaisionally.

Nice jeans. I like the edge stitching around the pockets and fly. Looks like an interesting hem and waistband too (more pics?). From the pics, the finish looks like resin to me.

Are the aforementioned jeans these?

nice trouser hem

Carpe Denim!

[andewhall]

Yeah the hems nice, blind hem usually only done on trou

[advan]

yup those are it...i saw em before on gap.com, but you cant tell at all that they are "waxy"...so i thought they were newer or something. guess they've been there on awhile. smallest size they make in 32" lenght is a 30"w, the 29"w's are 30 length.

resin, must be the term. i will take some more pics now.

i noticed in the store, that some of the 1969 jeans it says on a flyer "look for authentic red selvage stiching on select jeans" not sure of any there, cause i look at them all.

^^They have sewn what is called Bias Binding over the seams on the inside (which also looks like a printed bias binding that looks like the inside of denim), which is not selvage. As someone else pointed out "Self-edge", which these don't have. There are a million thread's explaining this in great detail

chwa?

[advan]

i decided to sell these. i still havent worn them, only tried them on. i usually wear a 29, and the 30s for this model are the only ones gap sells with a 32".

$60shipped to first person interested via paypal.

my email is [email protected] if anyone is interested.

[advan]

its been past 30days so can't, plus i lost the reciept.

still new with tags as pictured, never worn.

[Ziddy]

23 - 6 = 17 days...

If you've lost the receipt, though, then I guess you're out of luck.

[advan]

yup, i actually got em a little before the initial post as well

[psyence]

what's the size of the leg opening on those?
