Anyway I'm up for a bit of " modernization "…

I love how a 60 year old fellar is up for a bit of modernisation… Sorry if that sounds sarcastic, or condescending; I genuinely think that's just cool 

[johnathon]

Sam Bears was an unbelievable shop. Rumored to have not been painted or anything for a long long long time and it looked it. It was like stepping back in time… I just love that sort of thing. If you're interested google it and there's a heap of pics inside before it shut down.

Snowy... I just might have to do mail order but I wouldn't mind looking at the 555's that Giles mentioned. They actually don't look too bad but I just don't want tight upstairs and my crack hanging out at the back when bent over that's all. Down the legs though they look OK and I'm pretty skinny these days down the thighs and calves. I'm just an old codger that wont change his ways that easily I think. My family reckons I'm stuck in the 70's but I feel I'm in slowly edging my way towards 1980.
All part of my " modernization " ay  Seul.

@johnathon , I forgot.  Corlection are also taking the IH-777S-21, which they should get getting any day now….

[johnathon]

OK no worries Giles thanks. Do you know that is all that they will have ? … the 555 and 777 ?

[Giles]

That is all that they have ordered thus far, though Lin did tell me this morning he'll place a new denim order soon…

What will happen to the 21oz signature denim if you give it a first wash it on 90 degrees? I'm thinking shrinkage/colour/eventual damage?

I was wondering which fits you prefer in Levi's? I used to wear them back before I "upgraded" to IH so maybe I can help…

[Giles]

You'll feck the patch up.  Apart from that, not a lot….

[neph93]

Ok, thanks. Combination of losing weight and stretch have made my 301's unbearably large. Thought an extreme wash might help but I guess the sanforisation really does take all the shrinkage out?

[Giles]

We also one wash the 21oz once they are constructed…..

[neph93]

Good to know. It's either to the tailors or early re-purposing to building-the-veranda-jeans.

Are they then ironed? they're always so flat when they arrive!

[Giles]

Ironed and patches applied, post wash…

I once had a 7" spend some time in Bermuda, cause the guy who shipped it - from the USofA- only used the abbreviation "BE"…

Could have been worse. Might have gone to Belarus- or Belize.
