>Levi's 505 editionGeneral discussion of all things denim, workwear, heritage and americana.
PREVIOUS THREAD:>>18496272>>18496272>>18496272
Fade update on the Freewheelers 1947
>>18526920what is the loose / classic fit on levi's? is it the 505? I think I'd like a bit less slim
>>18526967Yes, but if you buy a 1950s 501 cut it will also fit more relaxed
>>18526970I always had trouble with slim jeans (in this case is super skinny) because when I started hitting the gym, by some weird reason I loved to do quads exercise, and now I have this weird shape around my quads (of course not in the same level of picrel, but is overdeveloped in comparison to my entire body)what jeans should I look for?
>>18526920'member when 9oz was considered heavy weight? Yeah.... Where did we go wrong? How did we become such roidheads?
>>18526982Just depends on your budget. I also have thicker quads from the gym and I fit nicely into:>Warehouse 1001xx 1953>TCB 50s>Wrangler 13MWZ>Fullcount 0105 (pic related)Most of those are jap made 501 repros with the exception of the Wranglers, so they will range in price from $180-300. Wranglers are the more budget pair with a slightly more slim cut, but they generally look really fucking good on dudes with athletic builds and their relative value is basically unmatched. If you want a pair of jap made 501 repros, the better value pair is the TCB 50s which are around $180 last time I checked. If you want the absolute widest and most comfortable out of all those, the Fullcount 0105 is the one. In my opinion, the absolute best looking, most well rounded cut are the Warehouse 1001xx 1953. They also make a pair of 1001xx that replicate a pair of 1947 repros, but the 1953 version is slightly more relaxed. Beside all of these, I've heard great things about the Left Field Smokestacks.
>>18526982Freenote Modesto
>>18526982Obviously, OBVIOUSLY you have to wear Dries Van Noten type ultra high-rise, ultra- baggy fits since they will fit you like straight legs.
>>18526967The original 505 from 1967 was a slimmer version of the 501 with a zip fly. During the 80s and 90s the rise got a bit higher and the overal cut a bit roomier. The 551 model is also a somewhat loose cut, also introduced in the 60s.But if you just want a classic jean that fits roomier than the 501 you can try the '54 501. Basically a 501 with wider legs and seat while the waist is about the same. >>18526982If you want a slim cut, most brands carry a variation of the athletic fit, which is a tapered cut but wider in the legs and seat. Levis has the 541 model.
got my pendleton wool shirt I bought off ebaythis shit is comfy as fuck
>>18526987>8 oz US made selvedge for the equivalent of 20 bucksthat's the real tragedy
How bad is 1% elasthane on jeans? I've got these '93 501s 99% cotton and 1% elasthane which I like a lot. But I've heard elasthane jeans age poorly.
>>185272891 percent won’t mess with the durability of the jeans much. I personally prefer jeans with a 1-2 percent synthetic blend since it gives the jeans a bit of stretch.
>>18527289I would guess it only helps with durability, less repetitive stress. Somehow I prefer pure cotton because it feels more like you're wearing something substantial, but in reality having elasticity is clearly a boon.
>>18527824To me the draw toward denim is all the imperfections and character. A well worn in pair of cotton selvedge denim is going to look and feel way better than some mall slop elastane jeans. Apart from the cut, the imperfections in the weave and the eventual blowouts in the knees are what make a pair of selvedge jeans look great. To a certain extent, I’d argue that distressed clothing even outside of denim generally looks better. I only care about “durability” to a certain degree. Then again, I’m not working some job on a concrete crew where I subject my clothing to massive amounts of daily stress.
>>18526920How dark do you guys like your denim? I bought this pair the other day and I really like the dark indigo color on them. Some like lighter washes, but I want to make the dark wash lighter myself over time.
>>18527824It's not a boon. Most of the times they elastane will just blow out after a few washes and stretch the whole pants by a size or two. My size 30 jeans with 2% spandex fit more like 32 now.
>>18526920Jeans are starting to fade. Fucks sake, hate this shit. Looks like something an Indian would wear.
>>18527919Depends on the season I guess. But that usually is the best colour denim.
If I could find a pair of jeans that'd fit me like Ed Chigliak's I'd happily throw all my other jeans away. Of course Darren E. Burrows has chadlike proportions.What's the best fitting jeans you've ever had?
What is anon's opinion on thick denim jeans for winter time? Do they look funny with their structured shape?
>>18528460His look like a relatively more slim variation of the 501 with some taper. I would check out Freewheelers 1951 or the TCB 50s
>>18527853>Apart from the cutthis is where im fucked. the 511s suit my slim silhouette but the last pair i bought was 70% cotton, 28% lyocel and 2% elastine. can i get 100% 501s? yeah. but in my case:fit/silhouette/what looks best > material. what good are the 100% jap selvedge cotton if i look like a clown?
>>18528588What jap raws did you wear? They didn’t fit you well assuming because they were too relaxed or the seat was too large?
>>18528520My problem is that I have big thighs and ass, so most straight jeans tend to have too much fabric from the knee down. The tapered cuts have too much taper and make my legs look completely unbalanced, very top heavy.
>>18526967555
>>18528950Go for Fullcount 0105 or Black Sign Vocalion jeans. They have very large top blocks with not much taper
>>18528491Umm, what do people wear in winter if not jeans?
>>18528460nudie rad rufus for me. i have big legs from squats and they fit perfectly. no stretch, a bit of taper but not too much. no need to size up in the waist.
thoughts on this jap denim for everyday all around
>>18528491I wear my iron heart 634s in -20c tempsthey're just fine
>>18527919I love rigid/raw. That goes for trucker jackets and denim shirts too.Pic related is the model I'm currently wearing.
how many times do you guys roll up your jeans? what's the acceptable amount to length ratio
>>18527919i already have that wash, but since i habe so many itd take forever to get them lighter so got picrel for 30 bucks
>>18529536I’m 6’1 and my perfect cuff is a single 1.75” - 2” cuff, it’s just what worked with me. There’s not really a one size fits all approach to cuffing since the thickness of the cuff should look balanced in relation to your overall height and proportions. However, you should not triple cuff and I think if you want to double cuff it should be absolutely no bigger than 2” thick. It also looks goofy if the bottom of your cuff/hem is resting above your ankles, totally unnatural way to wear your pants. My gauge of where to rest the bottom of my cuff is based off of the position of my cuff in relation to the star symbol on the interior ankle of a pair of high top chucks. If the bottom of my cuff is resting halfway up that symbol or higher, the cuff is too high and looks tryhard and unnatural. This is why I generally like to have a tiny break/stack on top of my footwear, it looks and feels better to me
>>18526932How long have you been fading those? How often do you wear them?
>>18529536I do the tokyo cuff, so twice.
>>18527919Dark indigo is the best color in the world and it is a shame that jeans are designed to loose exactly that feature. We have the means to create everlasting indigo denim, but they keep pushing that shitty muh fadez narrative for NPCs. “It’S like A wOrK oF ArT dudE xD”. Not really, you just lost the only thing that made your jeans interesting and not reddit: their color.
>>18529525>>18529650I love the look and feel of a dark, crisp indigo, rigid new pair of jeans. However I also love how they change and mold with use.It's kind of a trap, really, to get you to buy new jeans every so often.I enjoy the process and don't speedrun the fading. Also I got too many pairs to commit to just one for a thousand wears.
>>18529643I got them in January and have had different periods where I wear them more frequently. Been cycling between these, some Iron Heart 1955s, and Real McCoys Lot 001xx. I’ve been pretty committed to them the last couple weeks, and whenever I do wear them it’s usually like 1.5-2 weeks at a time. 4 washes so far. After some good time with them, I actually think Freewheelers is arguably the absolute best repro 501 company. The overwhelming majority of repros are not much different from one another in terms of “quality” or “durability”, so you usually end up just going with whichever cuts fit you best. Freewheelers on the other hand not only have 10/10 cuts,but they also have an actual tangible increase in durability due to the thicker density of stitching, and the construction of these are literally flawless with what is definitely the cleanest stitch work ive ever seen. All their hardware and details are just a step above everyone else in quality too. Their leather patch uses an actual dense, sturdy piece of veg tan and the ink is not volatile at all, it’s like it got embedded into the fibers of the leather.
>>18529798Yeah, they look great. I take it you like them better than the ih 1955?
>>18530498Well, I consider the IH1955 to be a completely different category than the FWs. One is more of an accurate repro with 14 oz, the other is heavyweight with cut modifications. If I had to choose between the two, I’d probably have to go with the FW because:>Superior cut without any gay ass millennial taper >Denim is more interesting, slightly more texture >The combination of the regular weight and timeless cut makes it way easier to style
went back in my camera roll and saw pictures of my fresh century denim and got sadit was so much more beautiful before the wear
Any experiences with denim not made from cotton?
Use spirolactone. Spirolactone is a diuretic which, in large doses, inhibits DHT.It is regularly prescribed as an anti-estrogen for female to male HRT, and thus, comes with an astronomically lower risk of sexual side effects in men.
>>18532648>denim not made from cotton
>>18532654Contrary to popular belief, denim is a type of weave, not a fabric.
Are Levi's lvc still vanity sized? Can get Levi's 501 1954 half off for about 160 USD. Are they worth it?
>>18532725yes i haven't been a 31 waist since i was 14
>>18532725Nvm forgot it's probably shrink to fit lel
>>18532648I've had a pair with a cotton and hemp mix. Lightweigjh summer jeans, very comfy. >>18532725As far as I know all lvc will shrink a bit after the first wash. Sometimes a whole size. Probably a good idea to size up. The 1954 are a bit roomier than the standard 501, ask for meassures if you can. If they're 2cm or so bigger in the waist than your best fitting jeans, you should be good after the wash.
>>18529550What model is it ?
>>18532653This guy looks cool
>>18532725Not sure about LVC, but 1953-1955 are hands down the best years for the 501. Slightly boxier fit compared to the 1947 which ends up being more comfortable
>>18532834Thank you. I invented this thread and in fact was the first person to discuss denim on the internet. I am also a 38 year old unemployed manlet schizophrenic faggot.
Fuck bros. Just a bit less than a month till I can wear my overshirts and my thicker t-shirts over long pants and two months til I wear my work jackets with Dickies pants. I can't fucking believe it's almost cold again.
>>18534654Fall time is near. You know what that means, new iron heart flannels
>>18534685I'm not retarded enough to pay IH prices for anything. I bought 3 Wrangler flannels last year for 80 euro total and I'm set.
>>18534700Let me you haven’t worn an IH flannel without telling me you haven’t worn an IH flannel
>>18534654I’m considering blowing part of my annual bonus check on a Freewheelers N1 jacket
I'm poor, and I thrift Levi's almost exclusively, -- and only when the wash & material are really decent(dark blue, grey, etc.), -- and the only pairs I find that are decent are 510s. Although I go in desiring 501s, I find I am slowly being pussywhipped into liking skinny jeans. -- I am skinny and even have a thigh-gap(I'm a guy), -- but I doubt women comprehend that I'm not a faggot. I actually love my Levi's skinnies!>Question: are they Americana?>**I find Dwight Yoakam for instance, is a great example of man in skinny jeans.
Any wool jeans you'd recommend?
>>18534789>wool jeansUmmmmm
>>18534654Got a flannel shacket last spring at an outlet with inner and side pockets. Can't wait to wear the shit out of it this fall/winter.>>18534787I consider skinnies more rockstar than americana. I don't hate slim fits, just the low waist aggressive millennial taper. I don't think most guys (myself included) should wear skinny or slim fits at all. I wish I had long slender legs instead of tgese stubby boulders, but even before I touched a weight for the first time I've always had masdive quads. To the point tgat people used to ask me if I was a soccer player.
The pleated jeans from the recent Uniqlo C drop are tuff
How do I bleach/light-wash my old jeans in a way that the fade comes out evenly spread?
>>18534754You figured it out through the no retardation clause.
>>18526920Denim is not workware.It was when it was cheep, these days you'll see more working people wear slacks. Denim is for fake cowboys.
>>18535434So, americana?
>>18535435Unlikely... seen it run around in so many other cultures that I don't think we can call it ours.
>>18535434>be contractor >wear jeans on job sites>80% of contractors wear jeans too >”not workwear”lol
>>18535502Ha, you're old.
>>18535547>>18535441>>18535502You mean cargo pants?
>>18535434Yes it is. Jeans are still pretty fucking cheap. You can buy Rustlers and regular Wranglers for like 15-20 dollars. Jeans with plastic slop mixed in them are even cheaper. Even workers in 3rd world countries wear jeans because they're cheap and durable. Levi's and Japanese selvedge autism denim brands aren't the only brands in the world. There are 1000s of brands across the world that produce cheap as fuck denim.
>>18535434And what do you and the people around you wear everyday?
>>18535555I have rustlers for my beater jeans. They are decent but i do not expect them to last long based upon the reviews. It does however have decent stitching.
Any alternative to the Levi’s 513? The only jean cut that I get compliments on and I’ve tried a lot of different Levi’s. Would like something in raw denim or just an alternative brand to mix it up. It gives me a really nice shape. Slim in the thighs and just enough room in the calves to not be a skinny jean. 200% never owned a pair of jeans like these before.
>>18535561They're still much more durable than any slacks. I think he was confusing work pants with slacks.
>>18535569Never wore slacks how bad is it? I feel like some chino's have better working material than that. Also durability i find true spec/military cargo pants to be pretty decent.
recently copped a pair of these and they go well with everything
Thoughts on wearing wide leg jeans with no break at all?
>>18535863As long as they aren't women's baggy jeans that faggot zoomers wear these days. And never go wider than loose fit.
>>18535870Also, don't sag them. Wear them at your proper hips or waist (if they're mid or high rise respectively) to get the proper look. And wear your correct waist size. Don't size down and sag them like a fatty or a homosexual.
>>18535870>>18535874And still the same thoughts without a cuff too? I have some non-selvedge which I won't cuff with a 19" opening and they hang perfectly smoothly without a break at all since my thighs fill out the top pretty well, sometimes it feels like they could almost be too short but they're literally just kissing the top of my foot which is the perfect inseam I guess
This is the type of designer of these amazing japanese made americana items.
>>18536551>japanese designer looks japaneseShocking
>>18526920>workwear generaldo you bitchass fags even have jobs?
denim
I bought my hecking epic raws and worn them maybe 30 times they still look completely brand new? Is this normal??
>>18536909Yeah. One month isn’t really going to show much. Stay consistent and after about 3 months is typically when I start to see some noticeable fading. Sweat and movement are the two factors that cause fades
I have the fucking thunder thighs. I lost a lot of weight in the past few years but it just keeps happening. Is it over for me? Should I even bother with 100% cotton selvedge if it's just gonna rip at the crotch no matter what I do?
>>18537218Just buy really wide legged pairs
>>18536756I'm a welder and I've just bought a 33oz denim jacket I will be use during the winter because the shop gets hella cold and lighter jackets eventually beads jumping through the fabrics. I will regret this decision.
>>18537218Then stop wearing slim fit jeans you fag.
>RIPTime to dust the ole storm rider
What do you guys think of my new jacket
What do the no-wash denim guys do about keeping your jeans clean for months at a time? I have two pairs I rotate through out the week but I still fart in them, do labor in them, and get the occasional pee dribble by accident. I get tempted to wash them at least by hand after a while.
>>18538518them tits pockets are stupid and the wash is an ugly blue
i love black denim
>>18538531Denim and indigo dye are antibacterial so they are good at keeping smells at bay. I hang my jeans to air between wears and they rarely smell. However, the going months without washing is for when ypu want high contrast fades. If you don't care about them, you just wash when you feel they need it.
>>18538819>Denim and indigo dye are antibacterialDenim, the weave, is antibacterial? And indigo, the color itself, no longer made from natural indigo, is also antibacterial?Wow very nice, today I learned!
>>18536756yes
>>18536756I work from home doing software dev.
>>18538836Glad to be of help.
>>18538836>no longer made from natural indigoStop being poor and buy some actual denim for once anon.
>>18538974
>>18538988Or you could be not retarded.
>>18539000Interesting reaction to getting blown the fuck out.
>>18539025You think pointing out that you can buy natural indigo denim is blowing anyone the fuck out after they told you to just buy some?
I am too short for carharttit's so joever
I want to dress like a zoomer and less like a “mature and distinguished” unc. What are some good zoomer baggy or flared jeans that aren’t ridiculously expensive shit from Japan?
>>18539133Zoomers don't wear autist denim. Look at Abercrombie and Weekday for zoomer jeans

Jeans that are a bit looser than the Levi’s 512? I have skinny legs.
>>18539654>512Carrot tapered?
>tiger stripe camo pocketsnice
>>18539133You are a unc you aging millennial faggot.
>>18539654505
>>18539759I guess not since the big thighs and skinny legs looks goofy. >>18539796Back to the Levi’s outlet I go.
>>18539879>I guess not since the big thighs and skinny legs looks goofy.That's the 512.
>>18539133Buy Uniqlo Zara Temu Shein like the zoomers do
Bad news everyone. The psychotic gay incel manlet Jewish schizo has returned. I have kept him in his containment threads for now, but it’s only a matter of time until he derails and ruins this thread. I’m firing up my cascading infinite rape machine as a schizo suppressant. God speed.

Anybody here got experience with brands like Bronson or Red Tornado?I bought 3 pairs of their Tubular Athletic T-Shirts, and the weight and quality are fantastic for the price.I've been looking at their other offerings, particularly these 15oz jeans. They are about 70 dollars.
>>18541239I got a pair of Red Tornado 55501 which are supposed to be a repro of the 501 from 1955. How accurate of a repro I don't know.They're high rise with a top block that's just roomy enough and a straight cut with wide enough thigh for gymbros.The denim is really good and the construction, details and finishing flawless. Got them for fiftysomething shipped on black friday. Definitively they punch above their weight. Not as good as jap top brands but I haven't seen anything that can compare at that price or even above.Would recommend.
There is always too much debate about raw denim for my interest. I would like to add a pair to my wardrobe as a project pair without getting too caught up in the denim bro shit. What I’m after…>be slim straight cut>max budget $300-$350>Not Levi’s 501 STF The only raw denim I ever bought were Levi’s 501 STF and although it’s iconic it’s more straight cut than “slim straight” and doesnt look great on my body. Thanks for any genuine reply’s and not trolling
>>18541398Check out Fullcount 1108. I can't wear slim cuts because I do squats, but I own their wide cut and the denim is absolute peak. Immediately comfortable, and the zimbabwean cotton softens up unlike anything else. You will get very vibrant vintage fades if thats what you're into
>>18527242Makes you think that the inflation data is off. 8oz denim sounds awesome by the way. I was looking for light denim this summer but couldn’t find anything. My 12oz sugarcanes were good enough. Any reason to consider 21oz for winter? I have 17oz samurais that seem thick.
>>18529650Agreed. I’ve been considering buying some Hank dyed jeans but they’re so expensive.
>>18541296I’ve been considering buying their green jeans for a while now. I really want ones from samurai but can’t find them used.
>>18541413Nice but I really don’t want to skip the break in process. Honestly wouldn’t mind trying a heavier denim in slim straight. Really want the full experience and a unique set of jeans out of my basic rotation. Any good online denim stores easy to browse a wide variety of brands?
Nothing about slub, or nep, or texture. This thread sucks dick.
>>18541475Oni Asphalts are coming back in stock at Denimio
>>18541457Check out Samurai’s catalog. Their s710 cut is made in the 21 oz denim if I recall correctly. Also check out their s5000 cut
>>18541525I was checking that out. Is it loud or are they just jeans with something extra?
>>18541475>Nothing about slub, or nep, or textureThose are just terms for what is essentially just an inferior product though.
So what's the perfect inseam? For non-cuffers. Barely not touching the floor at the heels when not wearing shoes/boots?
>>18541795I don't think meassuring the inseam without shoes is a good way tp do it. I rather try the jeans with the shoes, or type of shoes, I plan to wear them the most.For me, I prefer jeans with some break at the shortest, but usually like a bit of stacking. At the longest the first three eyelets of the shoes should be visible and at no point the jeans should drag or go bellow the back side of the welt.
>>18541766I have momotaro jeans which use long staple cotton. Also a nice product. I wouldn’t say superior, just different.
>>18541795Just stack em. I only cuff when inside and not wearing shoes.
>>18527005Pull your pants up you niggerfaggot.
>>18541707Don’t get the asphalt denim. Way too much texture, looks ridiculous. Their 20 oz Secret Denim is much more balanced
>>18541959The 15oz Crushed Concrete denim is good too, a bit less rough than the Asphalts.
>>18541964Yeah it’s more balanced. In my opinion, having the most textured heavy denim is not really a good use of $300-400. It’s going to feel like shit, look fucking retarded, and be nearly impossible to pair competently in any outfit without looking too out of place. I got into raw selvedge 5 years ago and started with the heavy weight stuff. After a few years, I realized that although there a couple pairs of heavy weights I like, 9 times out of 10 nothing beats a normal pair of 13-15 oz 501 repros. The cut will look the best, the denim looks beautiful and balanced without being too textured, and it will be the most comfortable. I’ve had a few of my friends get into selvedge and when they asked me what to look for, I told them this same thing. One of them went straight into the heavy weight denim and then followed up with buying a normal 501 repro and realized that I was right. If you need a heavyweight pair of jeans, the amount of pairs out there that don’t look absolutely retarded is pretty small because there are too many ways it can go wrong, especially with how tight the weave can be and how textured they are. My list of absolute peak heavyweight denim is:>Iron Heart 21 oz and 18 oz >Samurai 21 oz >Oni 20 oz Secret DenimAll of those are relatively loose weave with a manageable level of texture, making them actually comfortable and easy wearing while also allowing you to get pretty nice vintage fades instead of being designed solely for nothing else but high contrast fades
>>18541959>>18541964>>18541981Good insight. I have my 17oz zero denim from samurai that has interesting texture without looking absurd. Then my sugarcanes 12oz are light and smooth. I was considering samurai 21oz. I live in the northeast so it gets cold, but I keep my house hot with my wood stove. Really I want something hank dyed. I was also considering oni kase denim as an imitation hank dye using rope dying.
>>18541989I cannot recommend samurai’s 21 oz enough. It’s not nearly as slubby as the 17 oz, and it’s really easy wearing right off the bat. Their cuts are also unmatched, check out the s510xx. It was technically the very first pair of 21 oz jeans ever made
>>18537408>33ozSoso? I have the jacket and the jeans. The pants are a bit much but they still see a lot of use in the winter. The jacket is great as long as you sized it properly, looking forward to the cooler weather to break it out again.
>>18542001Yes. I will genuinely be using the jacket as workwear. The pants they lack the utility pockets I need with a pair of work pants: left side cargo pocket, right side pocket for a folding ruler, small pockets for pens, etc. It should arrive just in time for the cold weather.
Well, I splurged on a Real McCoys N1. Winter cannot come soon enough
Question for the workwear niggas in this thread - why do you guys wear this shit so autistically and in such a performative old-school masculine way? It seems that as soon as you get into workwear as a hobby, you think that the most playful thing you can get away with is a funny design on a label, a reference to an old graphic on the back of a t-shirt or a hat that's a color besides brown/navy/black.
>>18541991Notes. I’ll let you know if I get a par.
>>18542108I don’t know what you’re saying. I just like to wear jeans and things that don’t fall apart. People have always worn flannels, carhartt jackets, jeans, and dickies here. Never was a trend and is timeless for the pines. Maybe you’re just a faggot without an identity of culture?
>>18542108>why do you guys wear this shit so autistically and in such a performative old-school masculine way?The "old-school masculine way" is to not overthink shit and just pick common garments with durable fabrics that get comfy the more you use them.
This thread sucks. Here’s a bump.
>>18542096what did that bad boy cost it looks dope af
>>18542096Literal autism
>>18543663Looks like a normal jacket to me. Probably better quality. Are you a city fag? Or maybe a nigger?
>>18543679Probably both. A cityfag nigger who hasn't worn anything besides shorts, sweatpants and hoodies in his entire negrified life.
>>18543661$845. It’s been one of my grail items for years. Blowing part of my bonus check on it cuz fuck it I’ve wanted an N1 for a minute
so it shit now?
>>18543703I never understood the hype of this brand. Just buy a pair of Warehouse and call it a day
How were you introduced to workwear? My father owns a business related to construction, sometimes helped out employees on-site. He and them would introduce me to modern workwear as well as some heritage american brands and watches. He would also introduce me to heritage(?) fashion in our region like thai amulets, indonesian batiks, chinese cloth shoes, tibetan agate, etc.
>>18543750Grew up in an industrial area. About 90% of men wore plaid shirts and jeans. Then grunge came and flannels and jeans were the craze among teens. In the 00s I learned about raw denim and heritage boots through the internet. Not an intetesting story but there you go.
Washed a pair of jeans and they shrank noticeably. Weird, considering this was like the third wash and they hadn't shrunk so far. Wearing them right now hoping they'll stretch back because they're one of my fav pairs. And yes, I washed them exactly as I always do.
I really like the fit of the 501 '93 but they are 2% elasthane. Any similar cut in 100% cotton? Other than scouring ebay for 90s 501s.
>>18543890>I really like the fit of the 501 '93 but they are 2% elasthane.Maybe the ones you found. There are versions that are all cotton, I have them in black. I would suspect that also the cut is slightly different because Levi's is fully inconsistent between years and factories.I don't have suggestions for similar ones, don't you have a big retailer where you can order 10 pairs to try and return them for free?
>>18543820It is interesting, I always wondered how life would be like if I grew up in the states. Thank you.
>>18543747Long staple cotton. Smooth hand feel. With that said I prefer texture and samurai jeans
>>18543750I grew up in rural America. A lot of blue collar workers, some farmers. Flannels and jeans is what people wore in the colder months. Otherwise shorts and a t shirt.
>>18543703The rebrand gets way too much hate. I'm currently wearing the 11oz Suvin model and the rest of my jeans feel like shit in comparison.Really interesting releases this season as well, will probably pick one or two up.
>>18543703It’s not shit, but it was retarded of them to change the logo to some soulless AI slop. Literally nobody asked to change the original logo. That said, out of all the Zimbabwean cotton brands I prefer Fullcount
>>18543750my family, bros, uncs, etc. wear them for work. i just dont wear western boots due to an injury, so switched to mocs/ir. but its weird how some of you niggas want to larp like me. we dont care about jap denim btwt.cowboy
>>18526982Those aren't jeans though. They're closer to yoga pants than actual jeans also called jeggins
>>18543703yes. just buy iron hearts like a good little sheep and be done for the day.
Why should I want jeans with blue weft?
>>18544440Because I said so.
>>18544444damn how can you argue with those digits
>>18544444buying PBJ rn
>>18544440This type of meme denim looks fucking awful. Same color as blue waffle
I have a samurai shirt. I like it. I also have a couple momotaro shirts. I like them too. I am considering getting Portuguese flannel shirts. Would I like them?
>>18526987Damn, abuelitos were looking stylish.
>>18543703>had to get rid of the "positively superior" taglineSays it all, really.
>>18543750I guess you could say vintage clothing shopping as a kid, I didn't buy it but that is where I learned about it. I was really into hippie clothing at like 11, I still have it. But yeah I got into mens heritage that way, it wasn't until I got older that I got into vintage/ repro workwear.
>>18544304>but its weird how some of you niggas want to larp like me.I don't think about you at all.
I got gifted a black denim shirt but I don't really know what to wear with it. Black denim jeans? What goes good with it other than those?
>>18545621I wear my beige Dickies work pants with my black denim shirts a lot. Anything beige or khaki works.
You guys think 35mm belts are too narrow to wear with jeans? Recently bought a new pair and it turned out to be 35mm rather than the normal 40mm that I usually wear.
>>18545648I like narrow belts and they're all I wear, and they're very on trend now. You'll be fine.
Would you fuck me?
>>18545891You look like a cancer patient.
I don't know why, but chore coats look... impotent to me, probably the lower pockets. But I feel like it's one of the best options to wear with an untucked shirt. Should I get this for 80 euro?
>>18545648Unless you're tucking your shirt, nobody can tell the difference.
Anyone have any brand recommendations for a 'lightweight' pair of indigo denim, 12.5 oz? Something straight/loose fitting, and just a little more breathable for slightly warmer weather. Should I be focusing more on oz or weave density? 250USD would be max brand new
rAPE
>>18545925Thank you for your valuable contribution to the thread.
How much will the Wrangler 13MWZ rigid shrink after the first wash? I ordered a pair and went up 1 size in the waist and 2 in length.
>>18545921>Should I be focusing more on oz or weave densitybit of both. weight is probably the biggest factor but 2x1 shirting twills are going to breathe a lot better than a 3x1 twill equivalent. loose weaves will breathe better than tight weaves. anything military surplus/repro will fit your needs. they tend to be light weight and looser fitting. i like these:https://misterfreedom.com/products/raiders-fatigues-2x1-army-denimyou can also get stuff that would fit the bill from real mccoy's or even bronson mfg on a budget. >>18545904chore coats are a solid bet for taller guys and risky business for shorter guys, fit wise.>>18543750stumbled on some jap jeans at the thrift store when i was a kid. >>18542108jeans are durable and look good when repaired. hard to think of a more sustainable garment.
>>18545891>>18545903he's way better looking, and far more athletic than you.
>>18545951What do you bench, pigslim? 45 lbs?
Don’t derail the thread you schizo freak. We’re here to discuss denim, not read your incoherent rambling blog posts. Take your meds. Get a job. Get the surgery.
>>1854198112-15oz is peak, every long time denim nerd realizes this. i also really like light weight denim as long as its long staple and durable. >>18541795i don't hem jeans anymore until they've been washed 3-4 times and fully shrunk.if you want to hem them brand new i recommend full break + .5-1" so they don't wind up too short. you can always get them hemmed twice but all you can do to add length is bust open the hem. >>18545954>>18545957even if you bench more than me, i would manhandle you and that's all that matters. just because you lift weights doesn't mean you can fight.
ALERTTHE SCHIZO HAS BROKEN CONTAINMENT AND ENTERED THE THREADTHIS IS NOT A DRILL
>>18545962aren't you the schizo?
>>18545964Silence, schizo. This ain’t your blog son.
>>18545966take your risperdal, chubby fat little boy.
>>18545967Why would I listen to a poorfag incel gay low IQ schizophrenic manlet pushin 40? You need to get a job, son.
>>18545969why do you spend all day giving out men's fashion and dating advice when you're a 1.5/10?
>>18545972Who are you talking to, schizo?
>>18545975denim twink mogs you. cope, schizo.
>>18545977When will you get a job, pigslim?
>>18545979you work for your dad and never had a real job in your life LOL
>>18545980What are you talking about pigslim?
Both of you look horrible, one of you needs to lose weight and do some physical activity, the other one needs to start eating.Now shut up.
Reporting in for my daily raping, sir!
I recorded this for the haters: https://vocaroo.com/1dZY2z3gePI7
>>18545982the incel vs the guy who never had to even try
>>18545921Sugar cane blue denim work pants. Why wait until the end of summer to buy them though?
>>18545988Damn. Imagine looking like that and talking like that and thinking you can intimidate anyone.
>>18545996
>>18545998What will be the last thought going through your mind when I crush your tranny skull, I wonder?
>>18545998You aren't an elite level mma fighter. You did a bit of boxing, and you have no muscle mass - meaning that you are 120 lbs and you have 30 pounds of muscle on you vs a fit guy that has 3 times your muscle mass. You would get broken in half after they immediately took you to the ground, by any untrained in any martial arts person. Get real.
Finally, the thread is entertaining again.
>>18546003like a peacock's feathers, big muscles are only for intimidation. they don't help very much in a fight. if you knew how to fight you'd know this. >>18546004the skill gap between me and an elite level fighter isn't relevant. the skill gap between you and i is already astronomical. you don't even pop up on my threat radar.>You did a bit of boxingabout 15 years but ok. >and you have no muscle massyou've never seen what my core looks like lol. arms do not matter at all in fighting. most knockout artists have skinny arms. the bicep is literally only used in uppercuts, which you can't throw. >You would get broken in half after they immediately took you to the ground, by any untrained in any martial arts person. Get real.but i've had 250lb 6'+ men assault me before, and i left them in the hospital.
>>18546008too long didn’t read

>>18546008>but i've had 250lb 6'+ men assault me beforeI bet you have. Did you enjoy the ass blasting?
>>18546015true except he's laughing at you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkQ3klB4cYQyou know about bradley martyn right? 260lb bodybuilder who became a lolcow because he thinks he can beat 120-150lb ufc guys in a fight?
>>18546017https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9aGnWfwCmQonly people who know nothing about fighting think you can even hang with me. quit being an internet tough guy its cringe. you've never fought anyone who knows what they're doing before.
>>18546025>quit being an internet tough guy
>>18546029you've never trained anything, never been in a real fight but you think you can kill mma guys in 1 punch. cringe, and delusional.
>>18546032Will you cry when my hand is crushing your child-sized windpipe? I wonder.
>>18546033"when i get really angry i black out and see red then the bodies start dropping"- how you sound (its cringe to everyone)
>>18546033good luck doing that to a resisting opponent who has about a 7" advantage on you and knows what they're doing.
>>18546034>>18546038You’re a hundred pound gay manlet.
>>18545943In my experience, not much. It'll feel tighter but stretch back in the first hour of wearing it.
>>18545943mine shrank a ton but i washed them on hot and tumble dried them. i used to cuff them here and now the high water.i think they will be fine when i open the hem though.
>>18546049its genuinely hilarious that you think you could even hang with me.
>>18546063Can’t hear you from down there champ. Speak up!
>>18546070brotha i have over half a foot of reach on you.
>>18546070lol
>>18546071Maybe you can take some of that excess length from your arms and add it to your child-like legs. Then you may be taken seriously and finally earn a little respect, son. You’re pushin 40.
>>18546077lol nah i'm not all insecure like you. why are you so fixated on thinking i should change my appearance? i'd be worry about your own since you get zero girls.
This is the face of terminally low IQ. A failure who wasted his life.
>>18546077>>18546081
>>18546084It’s time to put aside these childish fantasies and get a job, son.
>>18546086try being less bitter and insecure about yourself, maybe you'll get some bitches on your dick.
>>18546088The hell are you on about son? This is the denim thread.
>>18546091you are a dysgenic freak. i look like bjorn andressen and adonis. cope more ugly weakling.
>>18546093You are a poor incel gay schizo low IQ manlet, whateveralthoughsobeit.
>>18546094didn't the soviets also claim their critics were "schizophrenics"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sluggish_schizophreniayou need some new material, jew. you've been repeating the same crap for 85 years straight.
>>18546095Stop derailing the thread pigslim. Some of us are trying to discuss denim. We don’t care about your schizo ravings.
>>18546097isn't stalking usually associated with schizophrenics?aren't jewish people the most likely group of people to be schizophrenics, and nordics the least likely?
>>18546100Rejoin your containment thread, pigslim. I hereby banish you from this thread, schizo! Begone!
>>18546101how come you call me schizo all the time when you clearly show signs of it and i don't? feels like you're just projecting your own insecurities onto some guy you hardly know.
>>18546104Did you know I was the one who started the first denim and workwear general on this board? And that I was the first to discuss denim on the internet? You need to respect your betters, manlet.
>>18546116you ever play pokemon before? you're kind of like a magikarp with really good iv's. yeah sure you have good stats. maybe even potential to become something far more dangerous. but at the end of the day you're just a meat shield because the only move you know is flail.
>>18546123Why are you so obsessed with me? I know you’re a gay but this is not healthy. You should get a job.
>>18546146>internet tough guy>never been in a fightlol
>>18546166Meds. Now.
>>18546081He seems fine to me. You seem obsessed. Anyway… what are thoughts on cords? I’ve always liked then and have worn them since the 90s. But want to get a nice pair.
>>18546280cords are underrated. i love the look of them especially a pleated wider fit. as a fabric its very very abrasion resistant but tears kind of easily, and its one of the easiest workwear fabrics to dress up. chocolate brown and forest green are the best colors imo. khaki and copper type colors are solid though.
>>18546100>nordics the least likely?I'll have you no that mutual stalking is a common mating ritual in Sweden.
>>18546407jej probably true, i believe it.
>>18546081youre indian. you have less grip strength than a woman.
>>18546280I love cords for fall and winter. They're warm, flexible, lightweight and about as versatile as jeans if not more.
>>18546058>>18546050Thanks, guys. It looks like people have different experiences/results. I'll try washing them per the instructions, and if I don't like the fit, I'll just order another pair/size (since they are so cheap).
>>18546644The anon who got a lot of shrinkage washed them in a way maximizes it. I wash my jeans in a way that tries to minimize it, namely:-Wash in delicate cycle at 30°C tops-Inside out with a dark colors detergent to preserve color (unrelated to shrinkage)-Hang dry streteching the jeans to prevent wrinkles.-(optional) a short tumble cycle to remove excess water. This step will produce more shrinkage, skip if your jeans fit on the tighter side.As a side note, I've got a frontloader washing machine which might be more gentle on the clothes than toploaders.
>>18546076Why doesn’t his friend turn off the video and punt his head at the end?
The Real Mccoys N1 just arrived yesterday, ask me anything
>>18546653Front loaders are worse on clothes. They literally tumble and throw them around the entire time while barely using any water. Top loaders are much more gentle (as long as they don't have that rod at the center) because they submerge the clothes in a pool of water that holds them up. Even while drying they don't throw the clothes around but press them against the tub's wall and use centrifugal force to press water out of them.
>>18546772Whoa, is that a HECKIN guitar in your BACKGROUND? You’re so INTERESTING, can you tell me a little about that GUITAR in your BACKGROUND? That’s heckin FASCINATING bro, do you use that thing to play MUSIC? So COOL
>>18546790I just use it as a sex toy. I’m trans btw
>>18546772If I spent that much money on clothes I wouldn't want photo evidence online. Imagine your future wife finding out lmao.
>>18546772Tuck your t-shirt you nigger.
“Yeah, I just bought this raw selvedge japanese denim, how did you know?”
>>18546800Do the math retard. Anon isn’t getting a girlfriend for at least another 10 years. Maybe he’ll be married in 15 years. MAYBE. By then, if he still has the jacket it was a good buy. >>18546791
>>18546808If you buy a white sofa or whatever that shit is you deserve everything that's coming to you.
>>18546653this.if you follow what the tags say its going to shrink a lot.do what this anon said and they will shrink much less.>As a side note, I've got a frontloader washing machine which might be more gentle on the clothes than toploaders.same also using a front loader.it is indeed relevant because they use a lot less water.
Do poplin shirts clash too much with an outfit that's mostly workwear otherwise? I just realized how much I prefer poplin over everything else.
>>18546865Would look better with khaki colored jeans or chinos
Any budget alternatives for americana/japanese workwear stuff? 500 dollars for a jacket is pretty steep
>>18547009Just get a wrangler or Lee, sweatie. Lee is like 300 dollars but Wrangler will come for 60.
>>18547021Good idea, then if I don’t like it I didnt waste much money. Thanks
Eu bros, where do you get your japanese slevedge denim without having to pay exorbitant taxes and shipping? Specifically I was looking for samurai and naked&famous but couldnt find anything

>>18547306>red tornado's wrangler repro stuffI would have gotten picrel a year ago if I didn't have so many denim jackets already.
Does anyone do a lined storm rider in EU in a) black and b) a good wash? I want to get these 2 jackes from Flint and Tinder but they don't ship tto my country.
>>18547541That is WAY too much contrast stitching. So much of that is just completely unnecessary
>>18547541Love the jawline
>>18547554Love me contrast stitching on denim jackets. That being said, could do without it on the D panels around the handwarmer pockets.
>carefully select a garment for months among several options and makers>garment turns out to be OK but not what it was hyped to be>end up wearing it sparingly>pick up something that caught my eye off the rack and that's on sale>turns out to be great and wear it on an almost daily basis>becomes one of my favorite things to wearIs it all just a game of expectations?
>>18547600>>carefully select a garment for months among several options and makersSurprised having autism isn't a road to happiness?
>>18547606I would argue that fashion is inherently autistic. But I'd leave it at taking your time to carefully consider a big purchase is the way to go.
>>18547607>a garment>a big purchase
>>18547600You prolly tried it on and liked it on yourself vs images online
>>18547306I wear thinner belts which helps. I don't go beltless, just took the picture like that.
>>18547554its a bit loud when the jacket is new but they chill out once it lightens up.>>18547566some of the vintage 24mjz's don't have the stitching around the D panel. i think the later model ones from the late 70s are like that. >>18547703fair fair. denim's fine to wear without a belt, it just pushes things even further towards casual when you do.
>>18547566i see a lot of the vintage ones without stitching around the D panel. can't tell if the stitches just fell out on some of them and aren't important to the structure of the jacket, or if they made a version without it. you might just be able to remove them. some 24mjz's also have elastic at the waist while others have buttons.
