Cultizm LVC Contest (photos only thread)

[erk]

runormal, I think the 54s are sanforized like your 67s, which are looking great so you should have no problems there. Not too many of them make an appearance on sufu so I say get them.

I'll echo the sentiments of others by saying this thread is really delivering now.

the 54s are unsanforized. also...not a true vintage cut, I dont know if you care though. wash/soak with the zipper up to avoid weirdness.

by not a true vintage cut do you mean it is a modified version of the original 54 cut? Would the 1955 pitchfork 2 version which had skinny legs and low rise, etc. be another example of this?

fit note: 67s felt so baggy at first , now they feel like skinny jeans but with a high rise. I forgot a belt last week so they were hanging pretty low and coworker said I was too old to wear my jeans like that, haha. high rise jeans aren't always flattering when sagged so maybe that was her point...

i'm rambling - apologies, I know this is the photo thread....

54's are customized, 55's pitchfork are customized.

my 54's don't have any zipper bulge problems. i'm definitely not a big fan of the cut though (check out the 54's on the first page of the lvc thread -- they've a much fuller shape than the 54's you'd find now). if you'd like a pair with a button fly you might try an undersized pair of 55's. i have two pairs of 55's -- a size 34 and size 36. the sz 36 fit like a traditional pair should, while the sz 34 works just as well as a sort of brando-'wild one'-fit. plus, the 55's shrink a hell of a lot, so you have some options there, depending on how slim you'd like yours to turn out. and, as many others have pointed out in the lvc thread, the 55's are a good cut to size down on because of the fullness of the upper thigh and seat areas.

I love the fall in Haliburton.

November update 1947 555 size 31

11 month in possession, 8-9 months total wear i guess.

8 washes so far

colour is darker in real life , very close to the colour in this fit pic below..

[joelz]

what'd you do to the knee?

[LC_Miey]

lol been riding my bmx again at the skatepark...mostly burn my knees sliding off the ramp from bails

[akka225]

@ LC_miley nice combs i can't get any on my 47's for some reason. how have you been washing?

[LC_Miey]

hey akka, if im not mistaken i waited until the 4th month wearing everyday for the first wash after that i wash them when they got too smelly for me to bare..

sometimes i wear them before they completely dry to set in the creases but not always

[Medine]

Yo LC, you know those are goin to be incredible in another year..

[LC_Miey]

cheers Medine, i hope they'll turn out good. anyway how did you wash yours? I hardly lose any colour...i was suspecting it to be bit lighter indigo after 6-7 wash but it didnt

[Medine]

I just throw mine in the machine. sometimes I would use normal laundry detergent and other times I would use some real nice soap.

6-7 washes is nothing. I had that in the first 2 or 3 months.

Just be patient, they will lighten up eventually

[dr.house]

^Glad to see I'm not the only frequent washer here :-)

(6 washes/ worn 80 times)

[LC_Miey]

loving the train track and whisker man...the arcuates on yours still look strong..mine has broken off miserably

[dr.house]

Thanks. Yeah, they're looking awesome, I'm very happy with 'em. Threads and fabric is superstrong, no rips no tears and they had 80 hard times of wear. Frequent washing strengthens the fabric and the thread (and give nice vintage fadez).

Dr House, you sound like a disciple of Salaami!

[dr.house]

Yeah, Salaami is my denim master ;-)

[joelz]

these got a proper wash but are getting less and less wear

[dr.house]

Great^, sry, must spread.

[Medine]

My recently re-re-repaired knee (I'm getting better. still not great tho)

[jyoni]

Nice patch, Medine. Is that a running stitch around the actual hole, or a backstitch?

Here's an update, 11.5 months. The dry black is already starting to fade a bit, so I'm hopeful that it will meld nicely before too long.

[Reggie Died]

Quick pic of my 37's (one machine wash, bunch of soaks) next to my 2 year old 55's (bunch of soaks, no machine washes.

I actually have no idea. I just start from the back and kinda just start stitching idk what you would call that?

[jwsach]

my moneys on jyoni

[Medine]

We still have year left.. its too early to say who will come away with it.

But if you want to put money on it, Ill put some cash down on myself for the win.

[jyoni]

Well, if you stitched ahead and then doubled back to the previous hole, it's a backstitch. I started doing them on tg's advice. It's really a strong stitch, even if some of the sections break or wear through. It's almost like having a big continuous knot on the back. Kind of looks like that's what you might have going on there.

jwsach...thanks for your compliment and bid of confidence. Still a long way to go though!

[joelz]

[Medine]

ohh boy its about to be a 12 month update and mine look the same as they did at the 11 month mark... damn you Roy!

[setterman]

Day early, but I won't have time tomorrow, so happy 1 year anniversary LVC contest. The sun has disappeared here, so I tried taking some shots inside. This turned out fairly close to the real thing.
