Last look at these old (+tab +arcs) SC-47s i've been wearing for work, before they go in the bin

Low res old phone snaps i'm afraid..

the ass blew around a year ago from the bike saddle, i've since patched it 3 times..

The waist button popped off a few months ago so they've been held up (just) on the fly..

I'll keep the patch

 

 

Master 00

you made your pair like the original 47s 

[Double 0 Soul]

Thanks @silencejoe

Fair enough. Don’t know why, but I thought you had some 33s mixed in. 

Only pair I can think of would be the NOS M41030.. you and I bought them at the same time from the same seller.. I got the 33” and you got the 34”

..a couple of weeks ago i tore a hole in the crotch while stepping onto a chair to reach something.. Huf!.. i'm not doing anymore repairs

I'll keep the patch

if you look carefully.. you can just about see denim under the grime

..they haven't been washed for maybe a year.. my intention was to eke them out for as long as poss.. then bin them

They look similar to the ancient Levi's raised from the bottom of the sea in a chest and auctioned off recently. Actually, if you put these in a box at the bottom of the sea now, you can see what happens after a while.

Reminds me of a post I put together many years ago on Denimbro.. just to take the piss out of the denim miners

I used to live near an old mining village so I got a pair of highstreet Levi’s from the 90s and using a biro.. I roughly wrote 1873 on the patch and buried them in a slag heap.. I used dowsing rods to locate them   @Dr_Heech will remember it.. 

It was just a reaction to all the faux denim mining crap we were seeing around the forum.. all shot in HDR of course with carefully orchestrated, period accurate, candle wax drippage..

Ha.. I’ve just found them in my denim drawer at work.. I’ve been cutting them up for patches

The  denim mining adventures were just contrived photo shoots to show Rising Sun jackets and Mister Freedom jeans in their apparent ‘natural environment’ when in reality.. that isn’t a mine shaft in the desert, it’s a single origin coffee shop in Portland

Rather than throwing them in the bin, why not ship them to Germany? I can wash them and repair them and give them a 3rd life. Size 32 is perfect for me  Happy to pay for the shipping.

Fine by me..

I must warn you tho, the 'grime' on the thighs is a build up of a home made mould release solution which i use to coat moulds at work.. it's on the thighs because the thighs are at table height and being wax based, you will probably not be able to remove it unless you very hot wash them with lots of detergent.. also, i've already removed the patch but if you still want them.. you're welcome to them, just drop me a pm to sort out the deets.. RM tracked to Germany will probably be around £10

and the arcs as well!

[Double 0 Soul]

Nope.. they’re still hanging in there.. 

.. almost worn away entirely from the other pocket though

[Double 0 Soul]

When I get pva glue on my fingers, I wipe it off on my arse.. y’know like a proper craftsman.. not like these phoney ‘instagram craftsmen’ with their immaculately manicured beards, under shaved hair and duck cloth riveted aprons who wipe their hands on a vintage discharge print bandana 

I think the glue ruins the arc stitch.

[Maynard Friedman]

Can’t beat a second-hand pair of jeans with the previous owner’s dried up ‘release’ smeared all over the thighs… 

[bartlebyyphonics]

no discharge here, vintage or otherwise

still very much in minty fresh beginning stages for this sc47 ...

[indigoeagle]

The SC47s are really great- the cut, the fabric, as has been said many times, great value/price ratio.
If a friend asked me for a good recommendation at a reasonable price I'd recommend them.
Even without arcs and tab now. At Pants Shop Avenue one can find the rigid ones.

Perfect length bartles

yes: these and the tcb 50s would be my definite recommend to anyone for reasonable pairs... link to the PSA rigid pls?

This! I remember reading an interview where one of the offenders was asked if he was concerned his candle wax drippage looked like jizz. He was content that those in the know would appreciate his wax for what it was and he didn’t give two hoots about what the rest of the world thought.

Well those in the know still think it looks like jizz!

[Double 0 Soul]

Hfff! It was such bullshit.. 

The candles were supposed to mirror old timely mining by candle light, yet they arrived on dirt bikes carrying $6000 worth of photography equipment.. if they’re so concerned with period accuracy you should arrive on horseback carrying a Box Brownie.. if not, use a fucking torch!

I’m sure the wax was just purposefully dripped on the clothing for the sake of the photo shoot ..

Thank you! Will DM now. And don't worry, I'll let everyone I run into know that they're not covered in jizz

^Time for a 'Jeans that look better with jizz' thread, no??

Already is one Chaz.. search ‘man stain on jeans’

Think that's more of how to remove man -milk stains from jeans, as opposed to the celebration/ showboating of said stains as an improvement of the jean aesthetic.

Has anyone bought/considered buying the new SC blanket-lined Type 2 yet - SC15210?

It’s a good price. I just can’t justify another denim jacket so I’ll live vicariously through you.

Hey come on mate, time to stop living vicariously, especially on a day like today - it's your birthday ffs. Just have more alcohol and then drunk -buy a TTS fit size model only to be uber-regretful the following morning 

On a more serious note - At least the lining content is at last(!) true to the Troy Mills wool/rayon/cotton mix type blanket linings used in vintage denim jackets between c.1930 and the mid 1970's.

More SC-47 love

10yrs worn.. one wash.. raw

Photos taken in 2014

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The broken arcs are just...perfect

 

[Dr_Heech]

I'll have to get a pic of my pair, although l think they're heavily creased, which is what happens when there all folded up and lying on top of one another in a drawer or suitcase. May have to buy a metal rail or something similar.

What’s the status of this holy trinity in 2023 Neal? Was one of them the pair you’re going to send to denim heaven or post to Germany?

[Double 0 Soul]

All three are still in the same condition as per photo

I was going to start wearing the one wash pair when the SC-46's needed repairing

Wore them once and the Devi's turned up so i chucked them back on the pile..

Which reminds me.. the 46s still need repairs
