Stronghold Denim

[jake431]

UPS man showed up today with my new Stronghold Hickory jeans.

These are really something else. Have to be seen in person to really

appreciate all the attention to detail. Thanks to Bill and everyone at

The Stronghold for getting these to me so quickly!! Worth every cent!

Fit pictures man, fit pictures!

Brilliant, thanks.

What cut/fit did you go with?

-Jake

[jimmyc]

I can't remember exactly. Straight leg I believe.

I just went upstairs and tried them on and the fit is perfect! Bill is really good

at what he does. I just gave him my measurements over the phone and he did

everything else.

I'm sure he will reply to the thread later and he'll know all the details about the

jeans.

Thanks Again, Bill!!

Hey Bill, a coworker and I were in your store today. You were very nice, sorry we only popped in. I'll be back to look at some of the denim! Also some of the workwear looked like it came in small guy sizes which is amazing.

Hey Gang!

Fit pics Jimmy, please, before there's a riot!!!

Those are our straight leg jean, the same fit as the purist as well. Those are raw 2x1 selvage hickory stripe. Jimmy, you'll notice they are very flat when raw...they'll plump up just a bit with washing/soaking, and the vertical slubs will come out a bit more.

Cheers!

We've also received our very first sample barn coat from the tailors!! It looks killer.. Classic all the way, as you'd expect from us... body style and pocketing inspired by a 1940's Lee 91J in our archives. Pics soon.... and once the pattern is graded for different sizes, the first limited run will be put together!

Next sample coming down the pike shortly....selvage chambray!

As promised here are some fit pics.

Couple of more in the WAYWT threads

Aside from the concavity in the ass (which I'm sure will soften up with wear), that is a nice fucking pair of jeans and a nice fit in the legs. These are $285 to start right?

The ass being concave is not the fault of the jeans. I don't have any ass at all to fill these out. The side view pics almost looks like I'm wearing them backwards.

And yes, they are $285 made to your exact measurements. They feel and look great.

Hi -

which Stronghold fit would be closest to a 1947 cut?

cheers

Nice jeans, jimmyc!

Any info on the bandana?

And Bill, how much for a hickory hat?

Depends on whose '47 cut your talking about..... Our straight leg jean is what Jimmy's wearing. The leg dimension is similar to the LVC 47's, but with a slightly lower front rise I beleive. Shoot me some measurements and I'll do some comparison shopping for you

My Flame Selvage. I wore them every day from mid november-ish to mid feb (maybe take out 5 days or so). no washes

Nice jeans, jimmyc!

Any info on the bandana?

I got it last year at 45rpm in SoHo. I was surprised to see one dyed a in light purple

hue. I just came across it this morning, forgot I had it.

[xchen]

I've got my eye on an RRL bandana but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I'd imagine they are of similar quality to the 45rpm ones. They are about the same price at retail but are readily available right now at lower prices.

[jimmyc]

I have a bunch of RRL bandanas. If you want one cheep just go look on ebay. They go from $15.00 to $30.00 the last time I checked. They are very nice and worth $15-$30, i'm just not sure they are worth the $65.00 they retail for.

[xchen]

Yeah those are the one's I've been eyeing.

[heflys]

Yeah. that fit is perfect Jimmy, and that price ain't bad neither.

[Bill2]

Aside from natural indigo dye which is kinda cool....can anyone clue me in on why you'd pay $65 for a bandana? I have a bunch of the old Osh Kosh polka dot bandanas that I buy for about $2

The natural indigo dye. That's about it.

You don't even want to know what that indigo dyed t-shirt I got from them cost.

You're right, I'm sure I don't....but moreso because once it has a concrete price, I can start thinking about what bodily fluids to sell to attain it....

[jimmyc]

For all those that PM'ed the inseam on those is 35". They ask you before they start what inseam you want. They will even stitch the hem in any thread color. I'm wishing I would have had these done in purple but that didn't even occur to me until I got them.

[beatle]

Dope, Jimmyc.....

[edmond]

err bill please check out the shoe thread have some q's there

[edmond]

hi bill could i use semi dress leather on smoke jumpers? i mean any kind of leather on white's on a custom smoke jumper?

[jimmyc]

thinking about getting that some cut in the Herringbone denim or maybe in the work pants.

Bill, do you guys still custom taylor those work style pants with the 2 large front pockets and a side pocket on the leg like carpenter pants?

[dkatz]

I'd love to see some more fit pics of the slims (a la Context). Searching around this thread I can only find one. I love the super-vintage style in a modern/street-wear cut.
