Jeans to wear with your flight jackets ...

[mulceber]

I can't imagine wearing 21 oz. jeans that first time!

The IH forum has a whole thread devoted to jeans standing up by themselves. Mine weren't that bad though.

Standing Denim (pics)

Don't know why but I love seeing pics of jeans/denim or leather jackets that stand up on their own so thought I'd start a thread dedicated to the subject. He...

The colour of Jean and fades are great

Fairly recently in Oct22, a pair of 1890 201 jeans was sold @ US$87k in US, then subsequently sold at a higher price to Japan. As I cannot afford to pay almost US$200,000 for a 1910 jacket & 1890 pants, I have accidentally picked up a pair of fake in a local flea mkt.
Pls noted that 1 important feature of pre-1890 levis is single stitch ( armhole in jacket & back yolk in jeans). 1 thing of interest to note is for the Earliest levis jacket, they call it Levis blouson - single stitch , circa ard 1910, there is JUST one & only 1 specimen i can locate, which is sold through Christie's back in 2007, then sold subsequent to a private collector in Japan & then disappeared in the public radar. Thereafter, there is no such SINGLE stitch jacket ever coming up for sale.

no... I bought them in a local flea mkt. Re-making Levis without authorization is illegal.

Belafonte jeans, made in Japan. It’s expensive , but I never feel I have been over charged. Bought this pair when I’m in Denim Fever.

Have given the TCB WW2 jacket it’s first wash, the denim has softened just a smidge, I let it air dry so no tumble dryer, the sleeves particularly have gotten some nice fades..gotta say once you get the TCB sizing dialled the denim is fantastic

I'm kind of a fan for MOMOTARO denims ...

you guessed it - they are made in Japan - seems like most of the high-quality/high price jeans

i'm so pleased with the quality i already bought one in spare and another version of MOMOTARO they issued for their 15th anniversary

Fit does it for me - more roomy around the crotch compared to the LEVIS 501 i used to wear

comparison is 1 year apart from each other

i'm about 6.3 weight is about 100 kg - size is W36 - length is approx 36 as well

don't ask me about the weight

Questions
How often do you launder those jeans ?
How do you launder them ie by hand or in a machine , dryer or no dryer?
I only ask because there’s a variety of ways people try to bring out the best in Selvedge denim and yours are looking good after only a year .

I’ve got a couple of these blanket lined Trucker jackets that I’ve worn over the years. The blanket lined ones are really great . Throw one in the SUV along with an old A2 and you’re set for most types of weather.

Nice! Love Momotaro. I have a pair that @Nnatalie bought me for my birthday, and they've been getting almost daily wear.

Burt,

first wash was just when i got it - the owner of the shop tild me that was the hint he got from the momotaro guys:
- washer - standard detergent - max 30°C - NO THUMBLING and - most important: INSIDE OUT

since then i washed 'em 2 times more (about every 6 months) - same procedure - same temperatur - no thumbling - inside out ... - no ironing

they are worn almost daily - pretty sturdy and good workmanship on those pants

some denim-geeks will tell ya that would be blashemie - they rinse - and wash - and whatever - in conjunction with moon and mars - i simply do not have the time to do so and also not the nerves

Hope that helps ...

Anyone else try Warehouse denim? Being one of the original Osaka Five I decided to break in a pair of their WWII denim they make a limited release on in 2021.
The design appears to be inspired by Levi's wartime 501's, with painted arcuates that faded away with wear, iron hardware, deer skin label which is starting to shrink and wrinkle much like original label and all cotton yellow thread that's slowing fading nicely.
Being the denim nerd I am, I note on the inside of the pocket bag when they were first soaked and each subsequent wash. I wore them a good five months solid before the first cold soak and cold washed when they started to smell rank! Overall, really solid reproductions of WWII work wear.

Wow !
Not being a denim nerd , I’ve learned so much about Selvedge jeans from this forum.
Great info guys , thanks .
