Pure Blue Japan's XX-007 is reinforced by hand sewing

Image
I got only one Pure Blue Japan XX-007 about 4 years ago. I got it from a recycle shop, and I have never obtained XX-007, so I remember buying it immediately. The condition was second hand, and there was some usability such as fading, but the color remained reasonably good. It was good that the waist size was 31 inches and the length was original. The silhouette is slim and straight, and the overall sewing thread is unified in dark blue, so there was an indescribable atmosphere. However, when I checked it carefully, there was a tear in a part of the slake (where the belt loop was sewn). For some reason, I've got another pair of Pure Blue Japan jeans that had this part torn. In addition, since this part was a part where the sewing machine could not be inserted, I tried to repair it by hand sewing. There was some usability, but the atmosphere was good. The sewing thread was unified in dark blue as a whole. patch The atmosphere of the hem is also good. Selvedge and original chain stitc...

Both of the new reprints 605 were made in Turkey.

Image
Levi's reprint 605 has obtained two new ones so far. Levi's 605 has a slim and straight image for me. Comparing the reprint 605 with the reprint 606 in terms of actual size, in my experience, the width of the 605 seems to be tighter than the 606. So, I think that the reprint 605 can be said to be a tight-fitting slim straight jeans. Well, in reality, it seems that there is not much difference between 606 and 605 in terms of silhouette, but if you dare to say the difference, the reprint 606 has a wider wading width, such as "Isn't it wider?" Is it a feeling? Both of the new reprints 605 I got were made in Turkey. I got it online, and the site had a big sale, so I felt like I got it for the time being. The model number of the 605 I got was 30605-0022, and the waist sizes were 34 inches and 33 inches. The fabric was a wash type. This is a 605 with a waist size of 33 inches. Actual size (measured in a flat position) Notation size W33 L34 Waist approx. 43 cm (measured ...

I've got 3 jeans from Warehouse x Lee so far

Image
So far, only three jeans from Warehouse x Lee have been available. The first warehouse x Lee jeans I got were processed by the white label 1940's COWBOY PANTS. The next warehouse x Lee jeans I got were processed by the white label 1930's COWBOY PANTS, but they were so wonderful that I thought they were really processed. And the most recent (most recently I got it three or four years ago) was jeans that were a reproduction of 101B, and the goodness of making them was like a warehouse. However, when I compare the three jeans I've obtained so far with the current Lee's reprinted jeans, I have the impression that they are too good to make, but is that all right? Lee x WAREHOUSE W36 White Label 1930's COWBOY PANTS The first warehouse x Lee jeans I got had lost images and data, but the second one I got was still there. This is when I was still collecting replica jeans, and the image is a little rough, but I think you can still see the good atmosphere. I got it from a thri...

Is Levi's 702XX difficult to match with a jacket?

Image
Levi's 702XX has an image that I could buy it cheaply at Yahoo Auction etc. before. The 702XX I got for the first time was also Yahoo Auction, about 10 years ago. At that time, I was still collecting vintage reprint jeans, and I remember being impressed by the good discoloration of the 702XX I got for the first time, and I often wore it. When I think of 702XX, I can think of the limited edition s702 series, but at that time I was crazy about replica jeans. I became interested in replica jeans only after the replica jeans boom had passed, so I later learned that there were s702 series jeans. Then, I got the 10s type and 20s type of the s702 series, but for some reason I didn't wear this series as my own jeans. Difficult to match? When I first got the 702XX, I often wore it, but I feel like I had a hard time matching it with my jacket. The silhouette of the 702XX is like 30s work pants with thick peaches and a sharp taper, so the 503B without the taper was easier to match my jack...

Levi's s702 series seems to be getting harder to get.

Image
Levi's s702 series has been obtained reasonably well like the 702XX. Although it hasn't been available recently, the s702 series was obtained from recycle shops, second-hand clothing stores, and online auctions.In the past, I was able to buy items in good size and condition at a relatively low price, but nowadays I feel that it is becoming more difficult.  3 types There are three types of s702 series: 10s type without belt loop, 20s type with patch printing similar to 10s type, and 20s type with thick patch printing. I have obtained all three types if it is used, and I have obtained the 10s type if it is dead and the 20s type that has a thick patch print. Dead W31 Levi's s702XX 10s reprint This is the 10s type s702XX that I got in Dead. I have also obtained a 10s type s702XX with a waist size of 34 inches dead, but since the image is lost there, I will put the one with a waist size of 31 inches. Actual size (measured in a flat position) Notation size W31 L36 Waist approx. 4...

Only 60's can get TCB jeans after all

Image
When it comes to TCB jeans, I have the impression that they are still recent jeans. As for the acquisition, I have obtained several used 60's types and only one used 20's type. However, the used 20's type was purchased from an online shop and returned because a defect was found. The flaw in the 20's type was that the belt loop, which should normally be there, had been removed for some reason. Well, the 20's type is jeans with a cinch back and full of workwear, so it doesn't feel so strange without a belt loop, but I returned it. Since it was in good condition, I would repair it if there was some damage, but it seemed to be troublesome, so unfortunately it was unavoidable. 60's W32 This is the first 60's type TCB jeans I got a few years ago. Actual size (measured in a flat position) Notation size W32 Waist approx. 39 cm (measured by aligning the front and back of the waistband) Crotch bottom about 81 cm Crotch top about 26 cm Hem width about 21 cm Watari ...

Is the original Levi's 501XX without a guarantee?

Image
We have obtained about 10 vintage original Levi's 501XX so far. Well, compared to reprinted jeans, the difference in fabric is obvious, and it is natural that some people are enthusiastic about the good atmosphere. This is the original 501XX around 60's. I bought it from a second-hand clothing store that wholesales vintage second-hand clothing. When I picked up this real thing, I thought I would keep it for myself because of its size and good atmosphere, but I ended up selling it. However, when I think about it now, I regret that I shouldn't have sold it. The color fading and the atmosphere of the fabric are not as rough as 40's, but I still felt the vertical fading. As for the condition, there were small scratches on the right hip pocket, half of the red tab was about to come off, and the stitches were frayed and frayed in some places, but the condition of the fabric was not particularly problematic. Also, it was a pity that there was no patch, but since the back of th...
