Cotton belt because of your vegan phase but snakeskin patch on the jeans is ok? You weren't very committed, were you?
-
Are there any (good) denim brands that use non-leather patches?
Levis has those faux leather paper patches and True Religion uses embroidered patches, but I can't think of any others off the top of my head. This is the kind of thing Tillman would know…
-
…well...maybe he does.
generally, you can look at all accurate '60s models the Japanese brands (or other) offer. Those have also the paper patches. And I do remember OOE and some oterh brands offered woven labels.
Paper patch brands: Denime, TCB, Devi's, Fullcount...
Woven label: Ande Whall did this too and I think some Warehouse models -

Stevenson! All their jeans use paper patches:

I knew I could count on you, b_F.
Your knowledge is truly encyclopedic. -
Liking the Stevenson stuff, and it helps that Zip is such a nice dude too.

Off topic but some of the coolest looking pockets out there.

Just picked up this beauty in the indigo.

Sugar Cane SC40200
'47 cut with AI denim
-
Damn, I know the word is overused but those are beautiful.
-
Indeed they are!
A shame SugarCane/Toyo doesn't produce these beauties. AI denim with Kakishibu pocket bags and all the other details for under 30,000 Yen (under 300 $)…you can't beat that! -
If you don't mind me asking, did you buy them second hand or just NOS?
-
I bought them from Ed (so secondhand) but they were in BNWT condition. I think he never even tried them on
-
Wonderful pair!

@Sugar:
I wear a size 32 in the McQueen chinos: one size up from my usual. The 31 did button up but they were tight and I need a little more room to be able to wear the chinos for work with an oxford shirt tucked in.
Sorry to revive this is old thread but I've got a family member going to Japan and I'm going to try to have them pick me up a pair of the McQueen chinos as they seem to have the perfect combination of button-fly, high rise and slimmish leg that I'm after. Are these measurements accurate do you think? They appear to have a slightly wider leg opening than what McQueen wears in 'The Great Escape'
-
@paint house gang I would highly recommend the McQueen chinos. I'm not able to measure my size 32 against Earthmarket's measurements but I'm confident that they are pretty accurate. Certainly so in the waist and thighs.
The leg opening is not super tapered from the knee but the cut runs quite slim all the way down. Sorry I don't have better photos, but here's how the leg opening looks with my Alden. I don't think it's too dissimilar to how McQueen's chinos looked in the Great Escape. If only the same could be said for the rest of me!
*Sorry to everyone for the off-topic post. By the way, my Sugarcane 1947 are the very best fit I own. Love them.
