Nice one! I'd prefer my pair to be raw too.

[bradl]

Ugh, I want a pair of these

 

Must be the lighting, but maynards look like they have black buttons.

[Maynard Friedman]

They do have black buttons! I suspect the colour fades during the wash and wear process.

Oh thats interesting, really like that.

 

Also, I would need at least a 34 in these ^ But if anyone sees them somewhere please link me.

So this was the model that selfedge based the collab on?

Yup, that was one of our early collaborations.  We used that fabric in a slim cut and even used the same black buttons, those buttons are great the way they age over time once the black comes off.

Cool stuff.

Damn those jeans look awesome...ok, here's my '47's.  I got these as a birthday gift and I've been wearing them for a month.  2 hot washes so they should have all shrink out, I'm really loving them and I'm already seeing some fading!

I'm planning on eventually hemming it to just a 2" or so single cuff, but I'm still so paranoid about hemming them too short (bad experience) that it'll probably be a while...

[kiya]

You are basically wearing my outfit that i'm wearing today.. belt included.

[setterman]

Double cuff looks good.  You can leave 'em like that for a couple washes to make sure all the shrink is out before hemming.

[itsbenhere]

Yeah, it's mainly that I'm trying to make sure I don't hem too much, they're at 32.5" so shrinkage should be gone.  Even if I didn't want to cuff them, a jean "should" end right above the sole of your shoes, right?

Those 1947 are a great fit on you Ben. That model is an absolute winner as far as I'm concerned. I'll be wearing my pair in rotation a couple of days each week with my TCB during the contest because I can't bear to have them neglected for all that time.

 

Regarding shrink, I bought mine one-wash and have since machine washed them twice with no further significant shrinkage. I expect it you've already done two hot washes, you'll be alright.

[tmadd]

The 1947 looks great on pretty much everyone.  From super petite girls, to medium height guys with athletic builds, to tall skinny dudes, to my 62 year old aunt…every day I have my mind blown at how many people can wear this cut a variety of different ways and have it look like it was made for them.  Doesn't hurt a thing that they just keep getting better with wear/washes.

Recent acquisitions as I try and cope with Hong Kong heat...

Gotta see some more pictures of those! What an amazing texture.

Nice patch oomslokop!

Do the history pres one wash 47's really have a longer inseam than those at SE? Do they use a different run? Just seems strange. Sorry if this is common knowledge.

[SuperJackle]

Thanks hoggreaser. The SE inseam would work for me, and by the time I have to pay for hemming the savings from HP would be negated. One other question though; HP says the cotton is zim, this true?

[tmadd]

It's a combination of US and Zimbabwe cotton aimed at replicating the character of older, long boll, US cotton, from when cotton in the US was harvested once a year instead of twice.

[SuperJackle]

Interesting. Thanks Tyler.

I'll be making a proper post at some point, but I'm selling my Star of Hollywood Diamond Line shirt for a "pre-sale" price of 130 shipped (size M). I've worn it 5 or 6 times and it's never been washed. PM me if you're interested!

Do 1947s slowly shrink during their life and washes? I feel like my pair of 34s is a full size larger than my older pair that's been washed many times, this one has been hot soaked twice. 

[tmadd]

Yes.  Especially if your hot soaked twice pair started raw.  Full shrinkage doesn't happen until all the starch has been broken down with agitation and repeated warm/hot washes.

Gotcha, Thank you! They were raw at start. Was excited to see the denim in its raw state. Glad to hear that they will eventually shrink down to my old 34 size.

Question here;

 

I have 32 SexSC02 which I love but now I want something with a higher rise, more room for the thighs (coz squatz) but the same narrow leg opening at the ankle (19cm).

I got momo 0201s last winter which are nice but the leg opening is a little too wide for me tbh. 

So I'm looking for mid-rise, tapered jeans with roomy thighs.

 

Any suggestions? '47s?

Size up 1 from my sexsc02?
