Thread 18496272

Denim/workwear general- enough with the schizoposting

Why don't we try to just talk about clothing on here for once?

Discontinued: >>18475998 (idk if this is going to work as this is the first thread i'm making, be lenient)

i'm gonna start this off by picking up what i left unanswered back in the last thread

>>18490758
>I have some orange tab 550 with the same squared off yoke. They have a similar barrel tapered leg too. Could be those?

i honestly don't know, could be tho
if you posted em i might be able to tell you tho

>>18492137
>those are 1980s 505's

i don't think they're 505s as the other pair i've thrifted with them are genuine 100% 80s (87 to be specific) 505s orange tabs and they don't look too much alike (especially in how tapered they are and in how wide the leg/thigh is) when compared

>post the back of the care tag for 100% confirmation.

will do but it's kinda useless as it's entirely blanck except for the red writing on the front

>>18496284
also forgive me if the pics are bad i'm not really apt at taking them

>>18496284
also i've gotta add, just yesterday i went to the same market and found another two pairs of orange tabs (which i didn't get as they were 40 and 42 inch waists) which i'm pretty sure isn't normal

aren't these things supposed to be pretty rare?
and it's not even like i'm in the states, it's italy i'm writing from

also, another question, how are mustang jeans? good? bad?

>>18496287
Orange tab isn't necessarily rare.

>>18496287
>>18496324
Correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK orange tab was meant as a cheap line targeted at a younger audience launched in the late 70s. As such it featured trendier cuts and designs.

Recommend me some denim. I’m a poor balding 38 year old schizophrenic gay manlet who gets raped by Jews daily. I also can’t fight, drive an ancient shitbox, and weigh 100 lbs because my bowels don’t work. I also cannot have sex, except with men.

Is it possible just this once to try to not respond? Just to see what happens if for no other reason?

Is there a cut that is straight, somewhat slim or slimming but has enough room to acvomodate larger than average thighs? Or am I asking for an ontological impossibility?

>>18496402
lol…LMAO

I don't believe that people actually ever wore their jeans at the waist to do manual work with. Trying to bend over even slightly is so much more uncomfortable with waist high jeans, ain't no way people really put up with this shit in the past.

>>18496416
People didn't have fat guts in the past. tubby.

>>18496331
it was a fashionable line yeah, but with the whole "experimental thing" i don't think it was supposed to be cheap, especially since it was a way for levi's to branch out beyond workwear (which was genuine actual clothing for workers back then, not an overpriced trend)

>>18496272 (OP)
>Wear slim jeans
Looks effete, compliments from wife
>Wear straight cut, baggy jeans
Looks based and feels self actualized

How do I balance these two feels?

>>18496402
We shall see

>>18496416
I size up once and use a belt to cinch it and I never have problems doing lawn work or other house stuff.

How many pairs of jeans do y'all have? I have 4 and it feels like a lot.

>>18496522
>compliments from wife
Shouldn't have married a rapidly aging millennial woman.

>How many pairs of jeans do y'all have?
More than I'd like to admit. I guess I just like to collect things. But there's like four blue jeans on my regular rotation plus a black one and another one on tan/whiskey. I recently bought my first pair of white jeans for summer.

>>18496396
jeet.

>>18496402
we tried that. i didn't post on /fa/ for 5-6 months and he just talked to himself the whole time. posted even more if anything.
he did this exact same thing in the watch thread for years before he came here. he seethed every day for years about "the florida schizo" until they found out he's a bone skinny underage pajeet and laughed them out of the thread.

>>18496416
jeans were 8-12oz not the super thick slubmaxx stuff you are probably used to. and the upper blocks were cut looser until the 60s/70s.
also the type of jeans everyone (not just denim bros) wear these days are based on the 501 which has been more of a fashion jean than a work jean ever since the 1950's due to hollywood.
there were completely different brands and fits of jeans back then that were geared more towards working, like these 1950's hercules carpenters in the pic. they evolved into the modern day carpenter pant and dungaree. before mid century they used to be worn over-sized and often had an adjustable waist.

>>18496629
It’s time for your meds, schizo poorson.

the military and conservation corps used to do a lot of denim work pants and fatigues as well. especially the more contemporary ones with riveted buttons. they're a lot more functional and comfortable and long lasting than modern work pants if you're not a fattie and don't need the stretch.

>>18496639
This is not your blog, poorson. You need to reduce the yapping and take your meds.

>>18496641
everyone's sick of you. drink ganges water jeet.

aren't you the schizo freak who talked to yourself for 6 months? biggest lolcow this board has ever seen.

>>18496665
Gonna cry, schizo?

Do well made but reasonably priced work pants still exist or has every brand sold out to fashion? I'm looking for non larp type jeans or other work style pants, preferably in traditional cuts like high waisted with features like suspender buttons and fishtails or cinch backs for doing dirty car work and maintenance. I really like old style reproduction pants but most of them are in the $250-$300+ price range and are considered fashion pieces which really doesn't make me want to wear them like proper work wear. A well made jump suit could work as well I guess.

How many of you do manual labour or are you all doing blue-collar cosplay?

jewish people always project their own insecurity and image when insulting others. its a lack of creativity, low verbal iq etc.
>calls me schizo 9001 times
>most schizophrenic group of people on the planet
did you know the "chuddie" is a drawing of a jewish mischling kid who shot up a walmart and had nothing but bernie sanders stuff on his social media?
how did that ever become the avatar for non-self hating white men?
no wonder it's so ugly, hideous jew genetics.

how the half-jewish son of a jewish guy involved with a jewish sex trafficking cabal who posted nothing political except bernie sanders stuff somehow became the avatar for white men who don't hate themselves?

>>18496694
Why the fuck would I want to do blue collar labour I'm a genius.

>>18496980
So, blue-collar cosplay? Playing dress-ups with low culture costumes?

>>18496986
Yes, I find it a great deal of fun.

>>18496991
A bit odd. People generally grow out of costumed dress-up roleplaying after childhood.

>>18496997
Due to my rare and world historical genius I've managed to maintain a child-like sense of play and wonder into adulthood.

>>18497047
The based baldy makes his triumphant return. And he’s not a weak, virginal, poorfag manlet so he’s already head and shoulders (KEK) above our resident schizo.

>>18496694
workwear brands aren't actual workwear anymore, maybe you'd use them around the cabin or something but certainly wouldn't take them on a construction site or anything

>>18497062
so why wear jeans when slacks are better in every way?

when are these godzilla jeans coming out or do I just have to spend the $600 on the samurais if I can even find them now

>>18497017

>tfw all my jeans are developing knee bags
Any way to prevent this dire fate?

>>18497359
Hem your jeans to a proper length.

>>18496694
roleplay now, did res construction/remodel for about a decade.

>>18496683
round house has double fronts and prison blues has single fronts with suspender buttons. usa made budget friendly.

>preferably in traditional cuts like high waisted with features like suspender buttons and fishtails or cinch backs for doing dirty car work and maintenance. I really like old style reproduction pants but most of them are in the $250-$300+ price range
belafonte ragtime's garage jeans are your endgame as long as you aren't too tall for them. wide fit, buckleback, suspender buttons, fishtail, everything you could want.
>and are considered fashion pieces which really doesn't make me want to wear them like proper work wear.
get ~1960's-2000s vintage workwear, repro of it, or stuff inspired by it (both the jeans i mention above would qualify.) anything after around then is constructed triple needle with polyester thread and will be durable as fuck. will last longer than modern workwear because the fabric is not blended (no pilling) + wider fit + no elastine. the real mccoy's or bronson 50's era us mil denim work pants would be good examples.
old timey repro with the buckleback will also hold up better than modern workwear other than the stitching. if you are fine with occasionally repairing popped stitches then your endgame is probably the belafonte ragtime garage jeans -- as long as you are not too tall for them. they have a very generous wide fit, buckleback, fishtail, suspender buttons, everything you want.
the problem is even if they last you won't want to get spills/paint/chemicals/oil/stains on your fancy jeans unless you don't give a fuck. like that redditor mechanic who spilled battery acid on his selvedge the first day.

>>18496976
so true.
but you forgot that the fbi confirmed that there was a retired fbi agent in the discord grooming him and watching the stream when it happened. & that the same retired fbi agent was also in contact with audrey hale.

>>18497359
do not wear your jeans in heavy rain.
do not squat a lot in your jeans.
if that can't be avoided, you can slow it down and reduce them by washing the jeans more, tumble drying the jeans (you must size up in waist/length fair warning) and ironing them occasionally can reverse the knee bags but only to an extent.
knee bags are a big reason why i'm trying out western flares right now. my idea is that over time when i get knee bags they'll start to look closer to a straight leg.

>>18497433
>>18497436

The fades I could get if I moved here.

>>18497433
Absolutely freakish. Dysgenic. Disturbing.

>>18497433
Looks like I'll probably go with the prison blues double knee or regular work jeans with buttons. Seems roundhouse discontinued their loggers with the buttons.

>belafonte
I like what I see but it's certainly in that "would I really want to wear these while working with grease and nasty shit?" price, which unfortunately means larpwear. I might still pick them up though, those details are hard to find and I know Japanese are autistic about their denims. I'm well within their inseam.

Millennial taper.

>>18499450
Those jeans fit like shit on him. Should return them.

>>18499450
i hate it.

>>18498370
it really just boils down to how wabi sabi you are or aren't. to some people oil and grease stained jeans covered in sashiko patches are a feature not a bug. for others its atrocious, or doesn't fit their wardrobe/vibe.
here's the jeans that the redditor spilled battery acid down the leg the first day he wore them. i would wear these if they weren't millenial taper jeans.
personally i only ever wore jap denim on the job when i was doing stuff like interior jobs, carpentry, roofing and other stuff that didn't involve paint chemicals etc. but now days i probably wouldn't care. my beaters that i used to paint in wound up looking pretty sweet in the long run.

>>18497728
that's why indigo invitational is split into regions now.
there are guys who do get even crazier fades than the SEAmonkeys in cold dry northern climates but its always dudes who are homesteading in alaska and shit like that. snow can fade jeans super well too.

>>18499744

That's a fair point, it just hurts to think of doing it to pants that cost almost twice what some of suit trousers cost.

What the schizo yappin about?

It’s another schizo nervous breakdown.

>>18499985
Take your meds and don't shoot up your school.

I’m mclovin it. I sense the schizo isn’t. What’s wrong schizo?

is the canadian tux still a thing? can you get away with a trucker jacket and jeans? same/different color? i feel theres too much denim.

>>18500107
yes.
yes if its not millenial fit and you have a decent physique.
any color combo can work its more about silhouette and texture - color's mostly a consideration in how it affects the silhouette. silhouette carries the entire fit.
it is a bit too much denim for most people and you should usually leave the jacket undone.

>>18500112
Another pants sagging niggerfaggot.

>>18500128
i don't get why zoomers sag either. but use your imagination it'd be a good fit if he hiked his pants up an inch.

>>18499746
I noticed that most people wearing jeans jere range from rapidly ageing millennials to turboboomers. Most of them wear levis or noname cheap brands that the local shops carry. The vast mayority of the jeans available are dark washes, very few are mid or light. Everyone hete is getting amazing vintage fades without caring and I'd wager without even knowing. Moreso the older folks who have zero care about fashion and are more reluctant to buy new clothes.

Id there a denim jacket that's cropped, or at least somewhat short in the torso, but also has side pockets? I'm broad shouldered and my current levis type 3 fiys tihht in the chest and sleeves, bit it's 72cm long and at 178cm/5'10 it goes to around my hip bones.
Ideally I'm looking for a type 3 or a 2, I already have a cropped type 1 with side pockets. Jas to be indigo or a very dark wash. Maybe something substantial, at least 15-17oz or more. Ideally 60-65cm long. Recs? Does such a thing even exist?

>>18500312
How about Wrangler?

>>18500313
Wrangler refuses to make anything in solid indigo and their dark washes kinda suck or are closer to mid wash at best. Otherwise I would have gotten a Wrangler already, all the jeans I've had from them have performed beyond expectation and price.

>>18500312
Red Tornado

>>18500339
Mmmm... nice, right color, right meassures, 16oz. If only it had bronze buttons instead of silver... but I could live with those.

>>18500312
- that era of levi's type 3's where the handwarmer pockets were hidden and integrated into the V's in the front should be cropped on you. check measurements first. i wanna say they made them from some time in the 80's until the mid 90's.
- wrangler 24mjz (red tornado makes a better reproduction than the japanese)
- wrangler 124mj
- a lot of type 2's would fit the bill

>>18500426
>i wanna say they made them from some time in the 80's until the mid 90's.
If you don’t know, then keep your mouth shut. Is this what you do instead of a job, poorson? Aimless rambling and getting raped?

>>18500432
Nah, he's right. I used to have a type 3 grom the 90s with side pockeys which was cropped. The problem with 90s jackets is that they used to have this oversized slouchy shoulders that looked terrible back then and dated these days.

>>18500497
That was a bait response to trigger him. I don’t care about denim.

Unfortunately I think the schizo is about to get banned and his posts deleted for the 500th time this year. Not surprising given he never contributes anything of value and has no original thoughts, but I saved his best vocaroo for posterity:

https://vocaroo.com/1dZY2z3gePI7

I will continue harassing the schizo until he either proves he has a job, gets leg lengthening surgery, or posts proof that he has been prescribed psychiatric medication. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

>>18500512
>have you seen zoomers lately? they're all wearing oversized drop shoulders.
Is the 90s revival still on? I thought they burned through it already. Tbh I don't pay much attention to whatever zoomers are doing these days what with me being on the older side. At any rate slouchy shoulders make you look small and weak, lile you borrowed your dad's coat. I've always preferred straight lines on jackets.

>>18500551
I know you’re a faggot but come on schizo son. You’re making this too easy

>>18500553
>I thought they burned through it already.
kinda but they never figured out how to wear clothes that correctly fit them. i can't say i have ever seen a zoomer wearing a shirt or jacket that fit correctly in the shoulder before. i think they think it makes their shoulders look wider (it doesn't)

>>18500555

>>18502642
i was one of the first english speakers who started talking about denim on the internet and i started the denim general on here.
i bought these jeans all the way back in high school, pretty drippy for a kid in 2005. i have better fits but its a little nostalgic because i've been fading them off-and-on for so long.
a lot of the posts that look like me spamming are actually the other guy just copy and pasting my posts from the archives to try to confuse people and make it look like i'm spamming.

Who do you think you’re fooling, pigslim?

was going to post an update on century denim after 20 months but this place is deranged

so you cant ask simple shit here, or what? are polo jeans good, what about todd snyder? should i try a selvedge jap slim jeans or should i just stick with 511s?

>>18503074
Polo jeans are good, but nothing beats Japanese Selvedge. Slim style is currently not considered stylish so I'd recommend staying away from it for another 10-15 years.

>>18500312
You're really limiting your options by looking for side pockets. If you are willing to forego these, the lee 101j the heritage of being the original type 3, and fits the bill. More modern Lee jackets (like the 220j) have pockets and still fit pretty cropped, compared to other brands, but the 101j is where its at.

>>18503101
>>18503074

As a zoomer I can report there is a minor Hedi Slimane revival going on with the kids right now so skinnies are acceptable if you have the build for it. Just don't look like a Jerry boy, make sure your top/shoes look cohesive, and if you don't have extremely low body fat then know you look like a complete fatass wearing skinny jeans.

>>18503032
It's mostly a bot talking to itself, with the ocassional poster. I'd like to see the progress if you can be bothered.

>>18503189
I know, but my own experience shows that a jacket without side pockets will remain unworn most of the time. Otherwise yeah, I would have gotten a 101j or even a cheap rider long ago and called it a day.

>>18503194
Zoomers wanting to be ahead of the curve are already pivoting to slim cuts. Rapidly ageing millennials never let go of their slim and skinny jeans (against better judgement). Malls still carry a variety of slims and skinnies and Levis' most sold model still is the 511.
You can tell went trends are aboit to reverse when they reach their apex. In this case, some zoomers on insta are taking the baggy fits to the maximum possible (just saw a skinny guy wearing a size 76, no kidding). I assume that in less than five years, when gen alpha hits the teens in sufficent numbers they will reclaim the slim cuts and laugh at zoomers slouchy fits. That's the cycle of life.

>>18503205
Fair enough, though I'd still consider other lee jackets, I've got a ~y2k indigo Lee rider w/ pockets that measures around 60x60, much boxier/cropped than a modern type 3 modified. More limited choice of nice denim than a type 3 repro for sure, especially if you're not gonna go used. I'm also looking for a nice type 2 at the moment.

>>18503253
I'm not adverse to buy used or vintage. The problem is that most of the used & vintage stuff is faded to hell and I wanted something in dark blue at least, crisp indigo if possible, like picrel.

>>18503266
You're wrong for wanting that.

>>18503266
Why the fuck would you get used jeans in dark indigo? If they are used then they must have been washed at least a couple of times, especially by the thrift store to make them clean and sanitary before reselling them. So that will make it lose a ton of color and give it a regular dark wash look like picrel.

>>18503268
Nay.

>>18503299
Precisely, the problem with used is that I won't be able to get a dark indigo. Dark blue would do, but even so, hard to find vintage stuff that's not faded as fuck.

>>18503205
>my own experience shows that a jacket without side pockets will remain unworn most of the time
Just get a small crossbody bag to carry your phone if that's what it's about, in a cropped jacket the side pockets are gonna be small as fuck and you won't fit a phone in there anyways.

>>18503403
It's not abput carrying a phone. I got this sorta tick that I need to put my hands in the pockets of my jacket from time to time.
I'm perfectly aware that my requisites make it hard to find a jacket, that's why I'm asking.

>>18503101
brother i dont follow trends but 511s look really sharp on my skinny ass. ive tried other styles like the 501 or varic straight leg polo. they are fucking massive for my build.

>>18503842
The 511 is the archetypical millennial cut. Of course this board is gonna hate it because is out of fashion... even though it's still Levis most sold model.

>>18504172
>even though it's still Levis most sold model

And that's a good thing? We hold ourselves to higher standards on this board, or we used to at least...

>>18504209
It's more a commentary on how slim fit jeans are supposedly out and yet remaing the most popular. Only a handful of fashion-forward zoomers wear baggy pants. The rest, zoomers and rapidly ageing millennials alike, are still stuck in the slim fit phase and probably will be until it comes around once again.
I understand the elitist attitude, but a trend is not really a trend if nobody follows it.

>>18502739
Can we get some specifics on why the pants fit is bad? I've been considering copping some and I'm curious about the cut, but "simply ass" is really no information at all.

>>18504276
It just depends on what you like. If you are looking for that relaxed vintage 501 fit, the wrangler cowboy cuts are not that. The top block fits pretty slim, but they are still pretty flexible and mobile. The jeans were basically designed to accentuate your ass and draw all attention to it. If you are in decent shape, they should look good on you. If you are fat or out of shape, any pair of pants will look bad on you. Personally, I'm not really into them. A pair of 501 repros look infinitely more universal and versatile

go outside of the big 3. wrangler and lee were never known for dark jeans and its hard to find red tabs in deadstock/1wash condition.
american vintage denim was never known for being dyed all that dark. you can find stuff but most of it isn't made by the big 3. a lot of the lesser known mid century brands are honestly better anyways, with levi's/wrangler you are definitely paying for hype. not as much lee but they're not the place to get dark jeans.

>>18503299
deadstock 60's, 70's and 80's isn't that hard to find.

Blake Molinaro is the schizo who ruined the denim general.
Denim twink posts fits and insightful, helpful posts about denim. In fact, the denim general was created by Denim Twink.
Blake Molinaro spams schizophrenic psychobabble and copy pastes Denim Twink's posts with a bot to make the thread unreadable. He thinks he's clever by impersonating Denim Twink when he spams, hoping to confuse people and obfuscate who's ruining the thread.
One thing's for sure though, Denim Twink would kill this 40% body fat pudgy incel dweeb in a single punch!

Its so blatantly obvious who's ruining this thread...

>>18505847
>go outside of the big 3.
I've been looking at Red Tornado (interesting 24mj repro), brave star, tcb and others. Also trying to find obscure and shortlived brands from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
But if I'm gonna go that route, I might consider cutting to the chase and save for an Iron Heart modified type 3. It'd be a bit longer than what I'd like, but still shorter than my current trucker and within the acceptable length.
And perhaps I'd get it in 21oz for something more substantial, but I don't know if going over 14oz on a denim jacket is a meme.

>>18505864

>Also trying to find obscure and shortlived brands from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
thats what i was talking about. good starting point would be to learn the brands from the sears/roebucks, jc penney and montgomery ward catalogues & which ones were good, serious menswear/workwear and which ones were shit made for mass market with polyester type beat. foremost and anything with "big" in the name are examples of some of the good ones. lootfam on youtube has some videos on this shit too meant for intro 101. fedoralounge has some threads with dece info.
i just have a lot of accumulated knowledge from looking at shitloads of ebay/etsy/vintage store listings and owning stuff over the years. dunno if there really is a crash course i can point you to but this stuff is out there and the barrier to entry is why its still available and cheap.
way more cool mid century and pre war menswear shit too than just denim. check out vintage wool sports jackets from the 30s-50s ish. they're really cool and obtanium and the fit is very in style rn.
there's way more brands that levi's/lee/wrangler who made high qual jeans from like 1900-1980ish that its a lot easier to find vintage pairs of which aren't beaten and worn to shit already.
reproduction is sick too though. check out the brands almost vintage style on youtube shills that's probably a good start to the rabbithole of really patrician harder to get shit.

>but I don't know if going over 14oz on a denim jacket is a meme.
i like my jackets light so they're more wearable year round personally. i wear them a lot when it isn't cold out as an alternative to sunscreen + mosquito repellant. about 10-14oz is my ideal for an unlined jacket. its all preference though the heavy ones fade really cool and they're more protective.

>>18505864
i would start by hoarding scans of mid century catalogues and learning about the brands that way then find the actual garments themselves on ebay etsy vintage stores etc and study the pics closely and learn about the garments themselves. study the fine details and if you don't already know, start learning how to tell exceptional garments apart from high quality from mid quality from low quality. sold listings are a good place to look -- a lot of the high quality stuff already sold and we don't care about buying anything yet at this stage.
and fyi not all the catalogue brands are good. jc penney especially does this shit a lot where they make 7 jackets that look identical in different product lines and they range in quality from the real mccoy to budget lines making the same jacket with polyester blend. yes if you didn't know this polyester has been ubiquitous as shit since around 1950.
there's brands outside of the catalogue brands, but those are a good starting point. the algos will just feed you the other shit eventually i'm sure. if you see a garment you like and think is cool learn about the brand.
p much how you do it.
the payoff is imo vintage jeans always fit a little better than repro.

i think the problem with repro fits is that the garments they deconstruct and base the measurements off of have all been shrunk, so there's always a degree of guessing and artist's interpretation as to what things should actually measure in order to be accurate. and a lot of times the og stuff fits better than the reverse engineered stuff.

>>18505864
oh also you want to learn how to date garments from the tags. that is key especially with these brands that you will find 0 info online about.

>>18505882

>>18505864
I love all the repro companies, but if you want a type III iron heart arguably makes the best in the world. I wear 14 oz 501 repro jeans because the cuts are way better than anything iron heart produces, but all my tops and jackets are iron heart. If they stopped producing jeans and solely became a denim jacket company then I would not be mad at all. Highly recommend their 21 oz

>>18505878
>>18505882
>>18505885
Thanks, anon, looks like I've got lots digging to do. Good thing I'm not in a hurry.

>>18506128
The thing is that a 14oz would probably serve better ots purpose, since where I live a denim jackey can only be worn in spring and early fall. It's too hot on summer and too cold on winyer for it, even layering. But on the other hand, how many 21oz jackets are out there?
Also, which 501 repro are your favs?

>>18506192
Wearing a denim jacket under a heavy coat can look good.

>>18506195
I've considered doing that with a mackinaw, but I don't know if that's gonna be too larpy.

>>18506261
I don't think it would be.

>>18505891
Good morning, pigslim. Ready for your raping?

>>18506192
If you can only wear a denim jacket in the fall and spring, the 21 oz is still a good bet. You can also layer underneath for the winter.
Favorite repros include
>Real McCoys Lot 001xx
>Freewheelers 1947
>Warehouse 1001xx 1953
>TCB 50s

>>18506444
Noted, thanks.

I'd like to ask a question. How should regular 100% not stretch to fit Levi's 501s fit? I'm 6'2" 155lbs, been lifting for a few months now, I was just barely getting into skinny fat territory before, but that is mostly fixed I think. Anyway, been wearing a pair of 30x32 and they just feel a little too loose in the waist. After a wash and dry they feel great for about an hour. There not any tightness anywhere. I bought a used pair of 29x32s and I just got those a couple hours ago. I can just barely button them without having to suck in too much and they hug my thighs where as the 30s really don't. Which, I don't mind the feel, I just don't know of they look "right." I'm hoping after a little while they will stretch out some. I am feeling like I am wearing them a little higher and that is making the length look too short. Any input would be appreciated. I tried shrink to fits 32x34 and they didn't shrink enough in the waste and shrank too much in the length.

>>18506749
Definitely too short. You're at least a 34 inseam. Meassure your waist at the height you're gonna wear your jeans and that should give you the ballpark.
100% cotton jeans tend to shrink a bit after washing and stretch a bit when you wrar them. Most will shrink over time and washes. Sometimes a full size down.

Wrangler or Lee. Which way should I go. I just want jeans with rear pockets that don't go down to the backs of my knees

>>18506749
>not stretch to fit
that was supposed to be shrink
to fit
>>18506777
Thanks for the tips!

>>18500324
I got a pair of their 13MWZs, maybe you ought to check them out. They are raw denim and you have to break them in, but they look and fit great. If you like a medium to high rise jean that is an indigo dark wash, this is the way to go. Very well made too. Only 30 bucks on Amazon.

>>18506749
are those 501's from the 2010's? the fit changes every decade or so. i ask because they fit very slim on you. jeans that fit a little wider all the way through the leg with at least 1" wider leg opening would look better on you all around and also look more in style.
& yes they are too short to wear with shoes but you could wear those with boots or high tops.
>and they just feel a little too loose in the waist.
assuming i'm guessing right and those are 501's made during the skinny fit era, all those jeans had big waists and skinny legs. you wanna kind of look for the opposite where the leg is in proportion to the waist and you can wear your correct waist size while having the leg not be too slim. fullcount 0105's or the wide-ish fit red tornados would look good on you if you want something mass market to try out before you go balls deep into the arcane repro brands and ig zoomer brands that make wider fits.

>>18506195
unlined denim jackets are definitely layering pieces, especially the slimmer fitting ones like trucker jackets. agreed.

>>18506192
>Also, which 501 repro are your favs?
depends entirely on your build.
rebuilt.jp libra pondus 40 and fullcount 0105 probably if we're sticking strictly to 501 jeans with nothing pre-war. strictly for the fit. i like my 501's wider.

>>18506128
>but if you want a type III iron heart arguably makes the best in the world
prly true if you want a heavy one.
but you should tell him they sell two versions the traditional cut type iii and the modified type iii. the traditional cut looks better on almost everyone except tall skinny guys with swimmer's build.
if you're skinny be aware that using the interior pockets on them will make the gut area on the jacket stretch out and make you look out of shape lol.

>>18506925
vintage: lee. the prices and rarity aren't jacked up yet.
modern: wrangler if american, lee if european.
wrangler 945 > 13mwz same thing but a wider leg opening and less taper. ignore the name its a straight fit not a boot cut wrangler lies.

>>18506969

>>18506969
>depends entirely on your build.
Currently huskier than I'd like but on the process of losing weight. Big legs but still able to fit them on my 13mwz. Barrel chest, I do lift, but naturally.

And yeah, I'm aware of the modified type 3 by ih. According to the site's meassurements, the size zi'd need is about 65cm long. I would have liked it to be 60, but 65 would do. For the record my current levis type 3 is 70cm long.

BTW, my current type III trucker is developing some nice fades on the sleeves, if I may say so.

where does 60/65cm sit on your body? good way to quickly check is just crop an old tshirt you don't care about.
>husky
>lifts naturally
same recs i posted then. and i'd also recommend venturing outside the realm of 501 based jeans because if you're husky or lift then basically all 501's are going to fit slim if you don't go custom.
here's some examples of non 501 jeans:

etc
a lot of the real mccoy's shit i linked bronson or other china brands make too.
some of that stuff its not that hard to find dead stock vintage of the originals. for example the navy jeans are pretty common.
right now look for jeans with a more squared off upper block shape and as you lose the midsection switch to preferring pairs with a more rounded or tapered upper block. i also recommend buying buckle-back jeans when you're losing weight as they will still probably be wearable after your weight loss and they'll be more adjustable during the process of losing weight.
if you're not into the vintage/workwear/military jeans vibe look into zoomer ig brands like yuremane/ktwo esp as you lose weight.

>>18507595
Holy moly pigslim. Reduce your yappin son.

Hey Blake I know your neurotic jewish mind can't leave a single thread alone without injecting your inorganic attempts to divide the generations against each other. But you can stop making these posts now. Most millenials grew up wearing the widest fits imaginable and we were wearing trueys before chief keef. Most millenials only caught the tail end of the skinny fit trend, it was more of a young millenial to zillenial thing.

>>18507800
65 is what you want. the perfect fit for a jacket imo overlaps the jeans by about an inch, doesn't go above the waistband but doesn't go below halfway down the fly. ideally you can wear high rise pants at around the navel and still get your hands in and out of the pants pockets without having the fold the jacket out of the way when unbuttoned. if you can do that and it doesn't look too short the fit in length is perfect.

>>18496976 About 3.3 head width to shoulder ratio.
>>18506994 About 2.3 head width to shoulder ratio.
3.0 is considered ideal for a man. 3.2 and above is considered exceptional. 2.3 is about the female average.
The "guy" who keeps calling denim twink a FtM might actually be one "him"self. Just look at the face it looks like one to me.

I was as generous as possible when counting Blake's pixels and I didn't bother with finding the exact width of denim twink's face from the cheeks, he got some extra pixels. Both pics are straight on enough to be semi accurate and you can just tell looking at them its not even close.
With how tiny that guy's shoulders (and presumably arms) are and how fat he looks all the talk about 'warrior cultures' and 'killing the schizo in one punch' is pretty funny.
he will probably claim its not him in the pic but he'll never post a timestamp to prove it.

the 4chan hack even proved that they added special code to fuck with the denim thread and try to stop denim twink from posting. only mods can do that its even outside of the scope of what a janny can do.

>>18510092
Tried at least two models (always the most popular ones) from both TCB and Sugarcane and the cuts fucking sucked so hard I had to send them back everytime. Commit mass suicide you unconceivable mass of cock-sucking meme-eating redditor soishits. Raw denim culture is clown culture.

It’s your own fault that you have a dysgenic figure. Those jeans look perfectly fine on healthy lads

Your comment was as predictable as the sun rising tomorrow morning. My body is perfect. Slim, 187 cm, 74 kg, broad shoulders cause I play tennis and work out. Kys weeb.

>>18510251
>187 cm, 74 kg
There’s your problem. Let me guess, you have the “diApEr bUtT”. You are basically Ethiopian and you will not fill the seat of jeans that were just a normal piece of clothing people wore during the golden age of jeans. I am also 187 cm but 84 kg with athletic thighs and nothing looks better on me than those jeans listed

You're too fat. Vintage Levi's 501 and 505 look perfect on me. Japan shit is simply shit. Take non-tailors to do work: get non-tailor shit. Simple as.

Hi I'm Blake The Schizo and I'm why the denim thread has been shit for over a year.

What type of bomber jacket goes best high waist denim pants?

I'm not too deep into the bomber game but I think the leather ones are the coolest looking.

Autism rant/blog post:
Weather cooled down for the week so I cracked out the Samurai s510xx in the 21 oz. I really think it may be their best denim and cut. Their other denims have way too much texture and slub whereas the 21 oz has a slightly more uniform feel with reasonable levels of texture. The shade of indigo is incredible in person, and the 510 cut is that perfect 60s repro. Compared to the IH634 (also a 60s repro inspired cut), it actually has enough room in the top block. Now that I’ve spent some good time with this, it really blows my mind to look at the 634s and see how Iron Heart chooses to take repro cuts that are already perfected and make completely unnecessary modifications like lowering rise and slimming the leg even more. A 60s repro is already on the absolutely bare minimum level of rise and thigh width for a “straight” cut, why the fuck would they lower/slim it up even more? Out of all their cuts, The 1955 is arguably their best, but even that was subjected to unnecessary fuckery with the absurd degree of taper they chose to add below the knee. Like, what was the point of doing that? Aesthetic purposes? True 1950s repro cuts already have a perfect taper ratio, so when they add that extra ~40% of taper below the knee it crosses that threshold of looking weird or unnatural instead of hip. The worst part is that they literally call it the “1955” even after they altered the cut to not actually be a true 1955.

>>18515629
I remember seeing their 521 cut on various instagram pages every so often and thinking it looks really great, and for around $150 (in japan) the value is hard to beat. I however don't really understand why they felt the need to install a back pocket rivet on the outside of the jeans. Also, I prefer the fades from other 1950s jap repros like the Warehouse 1001xx or the TCB 50s, which admittedly is a very nitpicky thing to bring up

>>18515755
Ok.

>>18515755
The 634 work really well for me on the legs, considering that my larger than average thighs can barely fit in 501s and I had to give up on 505s and other 60s repros for that reason. I just wishthe rise was a mere inch longer, if it were they'd be the perfect jeans for me.
I'm still yet to find something that fits better than the 13mwz, can't beleive the closest thing to a perfect pair of jeans are some fucking cheapo wranglers from the 40s.

Is Cone Denim any good? I've seen several brands use their denim fabric, from asos to levis. Better than average? Worth looking for it?

Since we're talking workwear, I've been thinking about getting a french chore coat in sanforized cotton.
Do you guys remmember they were kind of a trend a few years ago? Never got to actually getting one.

>>18517343
I mean yeah, it’s classic. If you already like repro style jeans then you can’t go wrong with that. Is it better than anything made in Japan? Not necessarily, they’re all great. Warehouse and Real McCoys make really accurate replications of cone denim, so there’s nothing magical or special about it

>>18515772
thanks anon-kun i'll visit some store that has them in stock
>>18517354
they're nice
i associate that shade of blue with millennials who have given up and based overweight frenchmen

>>18517298
This is what I mean, the most absurd detail about the 634 is the astoundingly low rise. It’s supposed to be “inspired” by a vintage 501, so a 10.5-11 inch rise is just full blown retarded. It’s not like there’s a perceivable function to lowering the rise either. I think the original intention of the lowered rise was meant to allow for more comfort while hunched over on a motorcycle, but I’m having a hard time believing that a 60s repro even needed a lower rise in the first place. Was there some large scale complaint amongst bikers about 501s being uncomfortable? I don’t think so. The OG bikers from the 50s were wearing higher rise jeans. Even TJ from the Shop Vancouver wears his IH1955 while going for rides

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.

>>18515755
Those look good on you anon. Tried the same pair on at Self Edge and while they fit me better than my 634, I didnt have any of that slack in the thigh you're getting which made them a non starter. With Samurai I prefer the S3000 which is a comparable fit in the top block but looser through the thigh and calf or the S3100 which is about two inches higher in back rise, leading to more of a 1947 repro fit. Both are significantly better cuts than anything IH though simply because I dont need a belt for either one whereas even on the 1955 I need to size up in the waist to accommodate my legs.
>>18517298
Try the 501 STF. I can't even pull normal 501s all the way up my legs, but can comfortably wear the STF version. They fit really similar to Wranglers imo. Only thing to note is that the three main colors (indigo, black warp white weft, double black) consistently fit a little differently. The indigo and black/white fit near identical through the leg at the same size but the indigo is consistently bigger through the seat and waistband. The black run about a full size smaller than the other two colors. Also look into the 634z. Its the non selvedge variant of the 634 and for some ass backwards reason has an almost inch higher front rise than the selvedge one. Also makes zero sense considering the whole 'we lowered the rise for bikers' spiel, but JP bikers on the whole dgaf about selvedge hence the 634z existing at all.

>>18496980
salarymen think they're genius now?

blue denim jackets are the most disgusting shit ever not even tastefully low class just larpy

>>18496272 (OP)
Where do i get some good old decent made carrot jeans like 90s Diesel new saddle?
Newer Diesel jeans are mostly low waist.

>>18519735
>Try the 501 STF.
I keep getting contradictory advice on STFs. Shpuld I size up? Get my size because the shrinkage is accounted for in the kabel?

>>18519996
For bigger thighs go +1 in the waist, for normal thighs go TTS. And at minimum you need +2 in the inseam.

>>18519982
What the fuck is a "carrot fit"? Just tapered jeans?
Those look like regular vintage 501s btw.

>>18520032
Got it, thanks.

How do I bleach my jeans?

I’m retarded and accidentally bought black 501 STFs and didn’t notice until after shrinking. They looked like a dark blue indigo in the store. The iron hearts on the left started about that color. Anon asking about sizing these are a 33x32 and after a hot wash and dry the waist is 32” and the length is 30”. The waist will stretch out at least an inch back to 33.

>>18520239
>The iron hearts on the left started about that color
And now that's what they are. Puke-inducing, really.

>>18520239
>The waist will stretch out at least an inch back to 33.
So get true to size at the waist and at least two extra inches at the inseam?

>>18520240
They’re beautiful
>>18520247
Yeh I forgot to measure the waist pre wash but they’ll be exact or 1/2 inch bigger than tag size after stretch

>>18520254
The only brand that can produce good-looking faded denim is TCB. All the rest is better with consistent color, no fades. Fades are just fucking ugly and boomer-tier.

>>18520257
Fades are cool as fuck because it turns jeans into something you've made. Outside of actually making your own clothes, fades are the only way to truly express your personality with clothing.

>>18520401
Making fades your personality is probably the most pathetic thing I’ve ever read. You should take a serious look at your life.

>>18520070
>What the fuck is a "carrot fit"?
Pants that have a high contrast betwern the top and the bottom. Usually a mid rise and somewhat relaxed top block, regular thigh and aggressive taper from the knee down. They were pretty popular in the 10s, but are currently out of fashion. Rapidly ageing millenials still wear them. The levis 512 would fit the bill.

>>18520239
>>18520254
Those are some nice fades. Here's hoping my 634s will eventually look like that.

>>18520254
Iron hearts 21 oz is so fucking good, probably in competition with cone mills for the most influential denim ever. Most heavyweight denim is a total meme and looks ridiculous, but IH’s has a relatively loose weave with a smooth texture, making it extremely comfy. They also look great with a more balanced vintage style fade if you can’t stand the millennial core high contrast fade bullshit. Fall/winter cannot come soon enough

Just brought home a pair of Warehouse 1001xx. Looking at the tag right and laughing at how ridiculous this is. Japanese to English translations will never not be funny

Who makes lee rider jacket repros? I’ve looked into TCBs but they’re always out of stock. I think I would prefer it to be slightly more modern because the true old ones are really short.

>>18520401
lol reddit

>>18520642
Iron Heart. They literally just restocked at multiple stores, but they usually sell pretty quick

Warehouse 1001xx 1953. If Sugarcane 1947s feel slightly too slim, this is a good alternative. Fits like a slightly more relaxed pair of sugarcanes

>>18520734
Look pretty good from the pic. Just right in the top block and relaxed enough in the leg without being a baggy fit. Guess mobility is pretty good in those, aye?

>>18520734
Can you also post a pic of how they look from behind (butt)? Thanks

>>18520734
This is a genuinely good fit.

>>18520734
Bruh! with dem baroque arcuates? lol nooooooooooo

>>18520734
Lose weight. Your body is disgusting.

>>18520755
>>18520755
It’s good enough for me and I’m extremely autistic about that shit. Not as mobile as my Fullcount 0105, but the denim feels pretty elastic and the top block is big enough to not feel too restrictive. It’s functional. The silhouette is exactly what I like though, just perfect. Technically, it’s a 1953 which are the jeans Marlon Brando wore during the filming of Wild One

>>18520876
They make them like that so you have remove the inverse arcuate and get an exact copy of the Levi’s arcuates.

>>18520955
I would leave the inverse arcuate and remove the levis one.

>>18520993
Yeah, would mimic the shape of your ass

>>18520993

fucking kek

Black denim is strictly better than blue.

>tight as anal fuck in the waist
>looks perfect, unsurpassable
>comfortable and roomier
>looks like a pile of steaming shit
I'm so tired of obsessing over the intrinsic imperfection of men's bottoms

>>18521179
Roomier looks better and more natural due to the implied increase in functionality of the jeans. Tight as anal fuck in the waist literally looks homosexual

>>18520861
These were loom state when I bought them. I did a one hour hot soak with agitation. I have about 95% of the shrink out, I might get a tiny bit more shrink with another wash

>>18521214
>Tight as anal fuck in the waist literally looks homosexual
That's literally how all your favorite stars used to wear the vintage Levi's back then, movies or photographs, find them and check I'm correct

>>18521218
But is the shrink permanent? Also, aren't you supposed to pull them a little bit higher?

>>18521227
If you buy raw unsanforized jeans, the initial shrink you get after a hot soak is a considerable amount, so it stays permanent. That said, after each subsequent wash they will fit slightly snug and then stretch back out a little bit after a day of wear. This is where the waist of all my jeans naturally sits. I cannot stand the feeling of pulling my jeans up to or above my hip line

>>18521250
Then the jeans fit horribly. Thanks.

I want to purchase a pair of Levi's 501 STF. Will sizing up 1 in the waist and 2 in the inseam work?

>>18520239
Black stf, so based. Anybody else got any cool alternate colour stf?

>>18520755
The top block loosened up a bit after a couple days of wear and now the mobility is really great. Highly recommend

>>18521161
>what can i get you guys to drink

ive been wearing 511s 31Wx30L for many many years and they were great, perfect balance/silhouette, not tight etc. now that i lost weight i tried the 30Wx30L, these fuckers are painted on, they are literally skinny jeans.

weirdly enough: 511 31Wx30L = 501 30Wx30L

>>18522097
>511
rapidly aging millenial detected

What’s the difference between modern Levi’s 501, 505, 506?
>501 vs 505
Is it just a matter of having a button fly or zipper?
>505 vs 506
Is the 506 just stretchier?
Can any fit differences (like thigh snugness) between these styles just be chalked up to poor quality control since Levi’s calls all of these “straight” fits?

>>18523309
>501 original
The quintrssential jean. Levis has changed the fit over the years to keep up with trends, but basically a mid rise straight fit. Like most jeans made post WWII, has a slight taper bellow the knee, but still considered a straight fit. The 501z and some variations have a zipper instead of a button fly.
>505
Originally released in 1967 it marked levis departure from workwear to casualwear. A mid rise with a zipper, it's a straight fit but fits a bit tighter on the thighs without being a proper slim fit.
>506
Similar to 505 but with a bit more tapering bellow the knee and a more relaxed fit on the top block.

Speaking of Levis, does anyone have any info on the Products with roots collection? Apoarently Levis dropped said collection in 2008-2009. It consisted of several jeans that were based on iconic or original cuts. Like the 1947 501, the 1967 505 and others. I thrifted a pair of 1967 505 selvedge. Looks legit but some details are kinda off, like it could be a counterfeit.

>>18523389
Some pics. The jeans have these labels on the inside of the waist with the model, the year tgey're based on and either special edition or limited edition.

Back label looks almost fine but still kinda a bit odd.

Inside pocket print looks kinda off too.

There's only one label inside which looks legit for the most part, no signs of other labels having been ripped off.

Detail on the selvedge. Saw more jeans from the collection and none of them were selvedge. Who the fuck uses selvedge denim for counterfeited jeans? Anyway, alk the details in the construction match the levis jeans I own, as if they didn't cut corners to make these jeans 100% accurate (assuming they're fakes).
I did a bit of research and the Products with roots collection existed, there's still a reference to it in the ofgicial levis page. I've seen plenty of 1947 501 and 1967 505 for sale on second hand apps, but almost no info about the collection online.
Now, I know Levis make some jeans at Morocco and Turkey. I know the factories in Morocvo also make some extra jeans on the side which then are sold at flea markets, but they're easy to spot. Could the turks be doing the same thing?

Hank dyed denim. Need it or sneed it? Any specific models you can recommend?
