Members bolty58 Posted March 7, 2018 Members Share Posted March 7, 2018 I used to wear nowt but 501's, but they keep fucking about with the cut - tried some on the other day - was like putting a pair of flares on. As for the rest of it? I'll leave that bollocks for the young un's. I actively avoid clothes that have logos/branding slapped all over them these days. Alarming this Mick. This is now two things we have in common. Fuck me - the two Korea's will be having peace talks next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wanna have a look at the new 501 skinny fit, i was reluctant as i hate the idea of skinny jeans but the fit is spot on. Slimmer leg and a much better fit. I'd not worn 501's for 10+ years due to the wide leg fit but these are belting. Now enough of this fashionista talk, where are the tits!!

frank_spencer Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I always thought the idea with the levis number system was that the cut of the jeans was always the same. So a pair of 501s from the 70s would be the same shape as a pair now. The slimmer leg 510/511 is what I've gone for in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted March 7, 2018 Moderators Share Posted March 7, 2018 I've got a pair of Edwin tapered on. You have to pull them up like Simon Cowell or you look like MC Hammer after he's shit himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QFPants Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Edwin sizing takes the piss too, vanity sizes gone mad! Got a pair in 30” waist that are about 34” even after couple of washes. Nudie jeans all day for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early 90's when every bugger was going baggy they were quite slim fitting. Now everybody has gone slim they are like flares. Guess they are just contrary feckers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave2980 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 501's are supposed to be a regular/straight fit jean. Being a short arse I find Hugo Boss fit me best but I do occasionally come across Paul Smith jeans that fit me ok also. As others have said I prefer my logos either hidden or discrete. Can't stand a whopping great big logo I think it makes you look like a twat. Somebody mentioned suits earlier - mine is tailored/made to measure. It was fucking expensive but it fits me properly and I had input into things like colour, lining and other little tweaks you font get from buying off the peg. If you can afford it I'd highly recommend it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc505 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 ralph lauren and fred perry tops, mainly next jeans, always adidas / asics trainers fjallraven coat Aye I'd say Fjallraven is probably my favourite clothing brand. Everything I've had from them lasts forever and is still not as rinsed as other brands (might change now they're opening more stores over here) apart from that Kanken backpack.

Marc505 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Anyone had a jacket from Hawkswood Mercantile? Geordie bloke that moved to India and set up a clothing company. Superb looking jackets but had a brochure from him and they all seem a bit on the thin side to be used in winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cheap but looks bang on and you can have a lot of input into the design. Can ask him for more details/what he thinks about the thickness etc if you’d like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
