    Naked and famous denim

    Just get some fine grained sandpaper and start buffing until the naked lady happily disappears.

    Naked and famous denim

    I'm also big in the seat and thighs (cyclist)... T+Y recommended me the new slim guy fit in NF (NSG-NF). I bought a pair of Elephant 3's from them and my experience is as follows: The break in period was painful, even excruciating depending on my movements as the top block was so terribly...

    ***The official LVC thread***

    Sanforized, rinsed or prewashed denim is still going to shrink in the length, especially if it's machine washed and dried. Any LVC 501 that isn't raw denim (what Mr. Porter identifies as shrink to fit and advises getting the next larger size) isn't going to pucker up in the top block but will...

    "Painting the world blue with ******"... I too am currently a partner in that crime!

    Naked and famous denim

    That's unfortunate as the "new slim guy" fits me very well. I picked up a pair of Elephant 3's in that cut and they're a terrific winter weight (surprisingly comfortable too for 19 oz fabric).

    These hideous specimens aside, I'm glad to see the denim Trucker III back in rotation along with the 1962 sanforized jeans.

    LVC '67 505: "second skin" fit, high rise at the rear, tight at thigh and tapering at calf. Current 505: Dad jeans. Low waisted, straight roomy legs.

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

     I weighed in earlier because this last is discussed above. I've generally worn 10 3E or 10 1/2 2E in AE and have 3 pairs of Tricker's boots on the W2298 last. All of them are UK 10, with the 5 fitting. There's initial tightness around the widest part of the foot, but the boots seem to adapt...

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    Hi Unipair Guy, the Sierra Trading Post last is given above. Like I said earlier, it really works for me. I have the William Chukka in a lighter suede and the chocolate suede one that's listed as Aldo style. The William is a more substantial shoe with thicker sole, upper and broader welt. The...

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    I have two pairs of Tricker's chukkas (different models, same last) obtained from Sierra Trading Post. I too have a narrow heel and I've never had a shoe fit so well.

    ^ I believe the '47's are among the most popular offerings... that's why they sell out quickly. I picked up a black cord Trucker jacket and a pair of olive Beds and am most pleased.

    I have the Bedford and I'm looking for more.

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    A couple of commas would certainly have clarified the matter! I really like the acorn colour... smashing with darker trous.

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    Acorn Stows + raw denim is to say the least a look to be emulated.

    Pablo-T, I enjoyed reading your review. Thanks for that. Shepard456, I concur that the first is really a vintage piece and may be, depending on your personal style, a little hard to find occasions for wearing... it seems a little costume-y. The second's a more adaptable piece.

    EEE Casual Shoes

    Consider also English made shoes in G or Tricker's 6 fitting.

    ***The official LVC thread***

     Could not agree more... I'm on the hunt for summer colours, but these don't seem to come down in price like the darker washes. Great T-shirt pants. To Denim ^... Almost all the stores listed sell online, just click on the names given.

    Thanks for that link!^

    Following up on my previous post... The 519's arrived today from the UK and I am most pleased. It's a great work pant (very tough cloth) and the pirate black is a lot nicer than black denim as far as I'm concerned.

    ^The Unionmade website provides thigh measurements of their LVC jeans. Having said that, their measurements of the 1967 505's (size 34x34) is off by an inch as it measures 11' at the thigh. Anyway, 501's generally have more room, especially the archival ones. I'm breaking in a pair of the said...
