Denim Jackets - New or Vintage
I bet you are not fanatic about starching and frequently re-starching and never washing but wearing them as a 21 oz cardbord stiff harnish daily like some do just for the sake of sick fade patterns. IH heavy weight denim seems to have a good balance between being thick but not too stiff. My...- CatsCan

Denim Jackets - New or Vintage
Yes this is possible. Long staple cotton like the famous old "Egyptian Cotton" can be spun into very fine fibers without disintegration when under tension. Threads can be very thin and woven very tight. Standard thread gauges of this same material are extremely durable for a cotton material. The...- CatsCan

Denim Jackets - New or Vintage
LOL, yes! I also find it weird to go after certain fades and distress a jeans to make them look "better". I use them like I would any other pant and "fades" will come naturally. I don't speed up things artificially. This is also my experience. And the raw denim wearers will be more likely to...- CatsCan

Denim Jackets - New or Vintage
There is a lot of truth in your words. Buying more just because it is presumed to have less impact is contradictory and stupid. I experienced a huge drop in my own consumption of jeans and generally in my wardrobe, however. I haven't managed to tear my Pike Bros denim pants in the last four...- CatsCan

Aren't those for girls up to seventeen years and 100 pounds only? Are there men who wear those? I must confess, I bought some stretch denim pants - so unbelievable comfortable now that I can't seem to get rid of my covid belly.- CatsCan

Denim Jackets - New or Vintage
This was exactly what was pushing me years ago towards denim that I can wear for years or pass on to others in used state where I know they can serve some more years. After I tore nearly all of my mall jeans in less than one year and I saw a documentary about labor conditions, poisoned rivers...- CatsCan

A question about vintage (/repro) denim...
Old Navy - yep, good suggestion! If this also is a zero, what about bespoke denim pants? If I were you and desperate enough, I would definitely consider this, too.- CatsCan

A question about vintage (/repro) denim...
You can do a quick search for atomretro and Madcap England Rock Flare Bell Bottom Jeans. I think those are basically the same. They are cheap enough to try even with the additional costs of altering the flare to your liking.- CatsCan

A question about vintage (/repro) denim...
That was what I thought could be the case with their today's proportions. The 527 cut has changed quite a lot to make them fit the modern average figure better. You could try to get an older pair in unused condition, but to find one in your size from the 80s will be a challenge. Maybe the...- CatsCan

A question about vintage (/repro) denim...
To define the vintage cut is difficult. Sounds like you are more after a late 60s to late 70s cut but on the less extreme side: tight with a bit of flare to the cuffs. Many of us watched "Magnum" or other TV-series. I guess the jeans worn by the actors are pretty close to what you want? Or more...- CatsCan

The ultimative Denim Trouser Thread?
It is not too long ago, that German custom service was looking up to US practices, like that of L.L. Bean and others. Of course, there always will be great companies and those who don't handle things well.- CatsCan

The ultimative Denim Trouser Thread?
As I said, I strongly believe that it depends on how the denim was dyed in the first place how the outcome will be. You will have to try and see.. If sulfur was used along with indigo (even the non natural) chances are good, that the blue will come out greatly time after time. Washing will help...- CatsCan
