Not yet with you, right?

[MJF9]

Not yet... my man's waiting on the original thread from Toyo for the hem... no rush

[MJF9]

Not unexpectedly, there are variations in the arcs even in the short period the "1942 model" was produced...

The You Tube link has probably been shared here before... but just in case...

@MJF9 The top pair of og 1942 501XX are the ones owned by the man from Foremost l think. The ones in the book are Larry's (Hellers Cafe) but there is a third pair, or was l believe.  Look into recent pages in the vintage thread to see that unwashed pair of 36x36 so called 42's but with a silver buckle. They were obviously sold to someone a while ago and it is possible that they are no longer raw and are now in use but it was Foremost l think who sold that pair. As l've already mentioned the silver buckle is the only fly in the ointment as every other detail seems to match the 42's criteria. 

Whilst you are waiting for your desired hem thread, are you having any popular pocket design(s) added? I have chosen Larry's design but can't verify here. Send you a pm in the week when lm back home.

Thanks @Dr_Heech look fwd to that.  As for me, no no nothing to see around here 😊

SCSC '42s

Hoosier stocking all the super denim collectibles??? 

[MJF9]

@JMS I pre-ordered through him (that pair are mine :)). Not sure if he's getting extra stock but definitely worth giving him a shout mate

Seeing the Lot numbers:

SC49001 (1945)
...
...
...
SC49005 (1942)
...
SC14007 (1946 jacket)
SC49007 (1946)
SC19008 (1943 jacket)
SC49009 (1943)
SC19010 (1945 jacket)

We might be in for some additional releases. There won't be any new models this year from what I heard but next year(s) could be possible.
We certainly miss a 1944 model and maybe 1941? Or also maybe a 1947 version of the Super Denim Collectibles?

Well...you have them 😉

[JohnM]

Yes b_F, there seems to be a trend.  What will the mythical SC49003 be?

I admit to being a sucker for this series, but sometimes I wonder what's gotten into me (denim derangement syndrome, bird flu?).  The video (for example) is funny -- feeling the denim with reverence and closed eyes.  And, wait, is that a black thread with the orange and yellow threads??

Indeed...

... and any new SC-47s will not have a red tab and will not have arcs

So the 'original' SC-47s that have a red tab and arcs are truely a collectible pair eh

Not many around either 😉

Love my pair, wish l had bought another

[Maynard Friedman]

I think this is your chance, judging by @MJF9‘s pre-sale patter! 😆

I also think I’m due 20% of the fee…

[MJF9]

Haha... happy to pay you 20% of the profit from any such sale... 😉

[Double 0 Soul]

..reimbursing a 20% share of the inevitable loss would be more like it

[MJF9]

I considered that would be equitable... but how would I track him down to collect my dues... there are no pics to say 'have you seen this man' as I scour London town shouting Maynard... 😉

[Double 0 Soul]

Easy.. just get within earshot of the bow bells of st. mary's.. dig a big hole, cover it with leaves, carefully place a pair of Ande Whall's in the center and just wait.. once he takes the bait.. don't let him out till he pays up.

Someone around the forum asked if i'd do a little fit guide for the old SC47s

I've had.. and still have numerous pairs of these but they've all been raw.. this was the first o/w pair i've owned, i wouldn't have chosen to buy o/w but they came to me as a part exchange for other denim goodies more than a decade ago and i've only just got around to wearing them.

They're tagged 32" ..A lot of SCs have a notoriously nipped waist but if you can get the waist fastened comfortably (post stretch) .. they tend to drape through the legs, if you measure around my waist where my jeans sit, it measures 34"

This is after a few weeks of wear / stretch

Worn with vintage 1984-87 Nike blue label, Cascade Run Off Tee..

Wonder how long till Freewheelers 'bootleg' this one

And a pair of Nike Elite Vntg repros

Measurements as follows...

The waist has stretched back to raw (or even a few MMs beyond) measurements
