>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.
