[beautiful_FrEaK]

@toothWord of Mouth contest jeans

[JohnM]

^ b_F, you're already Famous here, are you going Naked too, before the WOM contest jeans arrive?

[youngofthesoonest]

I don’t wear these 1947 jeans as much anymore but they’re looking great. I’ve the last round of repairs on the fabric and stitching fixes, i leave them as only occasional wear so they don’t get too messed up.

It also showcases a prototype for the forthcoming Sugarcane 1942 release.

I’ll try and get around to taking better pics but here are my 47’s after about a year and a half of wear.

So cool

I guess DIY rivets are the new runoff threads

[HGS]

Dug these out of the closet recently, the type 3 black denim.  Great pair of black jeans

Just got this SC 91-B Leepro in and haven’t been able to find much info on the product code SC10716A. There’s no care tag with the materials, but the blanket lining feels like there is some polyester in it. Giving it a hot wash right now, will post more pics when it’s dry.

Don't know if it's just me but wow that's a gorgeous 91-B lol

I don’t know about this model but there’s an M-series Storm Rider on Yahoo Auctions where the wool liner is given as 80/20 wool/nylon. I would guess that this would be similar. 
 

it’s a great looking jacket though!

[julian-wolf]

^ On what basis would you guess that this would be similar? They’re very different models, and made 30 years apart…

Mostly just a poor guess in the absence of any other information. There are a few real blacker lined Lee 191-LB jackets on various market places but unfortunately none of them have any composition tags. It could be a wool/rayon blend too since rayon was popular in that historical era and rayon blends have a distinctive hand feel from 100% wool (usually a little smoother than wool or wool/nylon)
 

I did find a really poor photo of the SC composition tag for this repro. Unfortunately I can’t read Japanese and it’s too blurry for me to make out the numbers but I dropped it here anyway in case anyone has better luck decoding it

Hmm yes, 'winky face' indeed. Nice to read but disappointing in the detail as usual. For example "Even the poorly done stitching on the waist belt is identical to the original". Looking at the two photos above that statement, it clearly isn't identical. The stitching in some of the other pics are different colours on the og compared to the lighter yellow of the repro. And l wish Sugarcane would take the flasher and ticket off for photo comparisons, as it blocks the view of the rear top block. 

Anyway I'm happy with my FW 1942'S 🙂

Grammar

[CSL]

I'm not as deep down the rabbit hole on this subject as some of you, but I'm surprised indeed that they didn't copy that bit of orange stitching on the originals. It seems crazy considering the amount of trouble they've gone to in general.

Nice black/yellow waist chain stitching on those. You copping?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

This was my plan, yes 😀

(Talking about the jeans, jacket I'm not sure about).

[MJF9]

The SCSC jackets could be appreciating in value if this one is anything to go by!

Believe it or not, these’ll be my first pair of pre-lawsuit SC ‘47s (!!)

[tooth]

Nice score 👍

I believe you! And a good price 

[Double 0 Soul]

Indeed.. that pair was ¥29k a few weeks ago

Keep an eye on the seller.. i know they have 0 feedback but back in November this person.. Sakana-kun

...only had a couple of random sales then within a few weeks they listed a massive inventory of early 2000s era Sugarcane and BR.. all in DS condition.. Hawaii's with green tabs, Oki's with red tabs and a random pair of new without tags, Valencia 201s for £220

Julians pair were listed as part of this inventory, it's the exact same words and photos.

Now when i look back through my history, all of those sales links are dead and the seller only has 2x BR jackets left, they've actually been deleted by the seller rather than 'too much time has elapsed'

https://jp.mercari.com/item/m77330994310

https://jp.mercari.com/item/m70968341148

They've handed the listing of the 47s over to zero feedback 'Giggi' for some reason?

[julian-wolf]

Huh, that’s interesting. I’ve never payed much mind to seller feedback on Mercari unless something seems too good to be true—it’s never felt like there’s much shadiness to need to watch out for—but now I’ve got my fingers crossed that the seller’s not just making fake listings. Worse comes to worst, I’ll get to see how good Buyee’s insurance / guarantee policy is in practice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
