Sugar Cane 1947 - 3 year fade update
Переглядів 61821 день тому
Worn by me for over a year and by my friend for 1.5 years. At 3 years, they're running strong and just need some simple repairs. These jeans cost more in the US than through Japanese retailers such as Hinoya due to import fees and markup.

RAW DENIM UNDERDOG: The severely underrated Wrangler 13MWZ jean
Переглядів 6 тис.Місяць тому
14:14 *CORRECTION: In this video, I erroneously guessed Wrangler makes 350 million jeans per year - I meant to say 25 million, based on the fact that Levi makes about 100 million pairs per year with $6 billion in revenue and Wrangler typically does about $1.5 billion in revenue. Roughly speaking, 25 million pairs is to Wrangler's revenue numbers what 100 million pairs is to Levi's revenue numbe...

My Favorite Backpack in the World - Dale's Leatherworks
Hank Williams never wore a fedora! He did wear an open road. Same can be said about Lyle Lovett. And a few others. The open road started in 1937. The cattlemen’s crease started mid 1940. It is what it is.
thanks for the info!
If you're going to cut the W and the patch off the back pockets, why not just cut the pockets off too? After all, who uses the back pockets anyway? There is more than enough room in the front pockets for wallets and tobacco tins and all the other junk a man could want to carry in his pockets.
Anybody with this jacket get an fades with some good wear? Wondering if it will at all since its not raw denim, and a cotton/hemp blend .
Где купить?

These are probably ideal for skinny tall guys, I tried a pair and hated them.
ah yes, this is quite possible
Nice! thinking of doing the same thing!
Update?
I should post an update soon! They're running strong, with a bit of toe collapse and nice teacore sorta patina.
These are sick

@@thevintagefuture6567 sweet Lord please do not do that
Smoking crack on saying it’s better than a 501. The pockets are fucking useless
I mean, it's all opinion I guess. But I find the pockets perfectly useful with all my Wranglers. 501 was arguably a primitive design, not popular because it was better but because they got the jump on the west-coast market and knew how to make profitable business relationships in the 1900s. There were literally hundreds of brands with different jean designs in the 1800s and 1900s, most extinct by now; so it would be ignorant to think the 501 prevailed simply because it was the best design (it wasn't). It prevailed due to business factors. And it's what people are used to now, so they throw a fit if you challenge their status quo by trying to critically and objectively assess 501....By the way, I'm a HUGE 501 fan, but if I'm being fair, I can't claim it's the greatest jean design of all time; that's just completely untrue if you study denim history (check out Jeans of the Old West by Michael Harris, for instance....or a historic denim edition of Lightning Magazine).
I'm a little stumped as I've measured my feet exactly like in the video but it says I'm a D and there's no way in hell I can be a D. I measured my left foot to be 11 inches in width around the foot with a tailors tape. I've never fit shoes with D widths I've always preferred EE. I ordered Nicks boots in 12.5 E and they didn't even fit me I had to go up a width.
I mean, it's all relative. And the Brannock doesn't always translate into real life. For instance, 12.5EE and 13E and 13.5D are all roughly the same (not exactly, but roughly). The problem is, most shoe/boot companies only sell D/E/maybe EE, so in real life we're forced to buy whatever is closest to our foot shape and size. Brannock is a device that gives objective knowledge of what our foot is, but doesn't necessarily dictate that we will be able to find something with that size label in the real world. Does this make sense? Am I understanding your situation correctly?
@thevintagefuture6567 Thank you for your response. That was helpful. The brannock device isn't perfect but it does at least get somewhat close to what your size could be yeah. I've never had issues with length only width on shoes I've tried. I'm about a EE in Nicks or 11 inches in width like I said. Most standard 13 US shoes do fit me but I was hoping now that I had my own brannock device I could get some answers in regards to my width but oh well.
Why do lower tier man like the one on the video are always fixated on shoes?
Sorry, I guess I'll never know what it's like being the absolute pinnacle of humanity like yourself. Please, oh please, have mercy on us mere mortals.
Lol
I found a pair of old Wrangler 13MWZ at my local thrift and it’s a perfect fit and looks great with my boots. My only complaint are the small pockets but I can live with that. I also admire Wrangler denim jackets and will get one when it cools down.
Cool! I haven't found the pockets to be too small, perhaps cuz I didn't size them tight? I don't know. Some of this might be because many of us in the modern day have huge phones etc hahaha
thank you so much for this great explanation video. from my experience this will never work with British and italian shoemaker brands , i know how to use Brannock device decade ago . my size on brannock 10.5 which is the conversion charts says 9.5-10.5 UK size and 43-44 Italian size, i have more than 20 italian and british shoes and boots all my italian shose sizes are 42 and the UK shoes and boots size 8 and 8.5 some brands 7.5 and some times 8, like tricker, john lobb, crockets & johns , faragammo , santoni , carmina and TLB. all this brands i wear size 8 ,8.5 uk and 42 euro size .one more thing i would like to say is to get your best fit is to try the shoes physically at the store buying online is a big risk specifically for overseas shipping . thank you so much again for the video 👍👍
I’m currently selling my Japanese Rogue Territory’s bc like Nudie Acne etc, you can’t beat the classics.
Fantastic video. The one thing that drives me crazy about every Wrangler review is that no one ever models them with sneakers on. I just wish someone would throw on a pair of chuck taylors, or adidas all stars or something!
oh yeah, that would be great! I have friends who wear them like that - I should have taken pictures of them. Thanks for the comment and killer idea.
The eyelets look fantastic, changing the character of the boots just a bit, pushing them back in time---as if they came from another century. But there's no anachronism, no sense of cosplay just very cool boots, and because they are essentially hidden it's your own secret and sensibility. Well-done.
all thanks to you, sir!
My good they look cool! I really like all eyes look. Great stuff
Thanks so much!
Not just the jeans…..their jackets are amazing too
I need to check them out at some point.....Was considering doing a video about their jackets, but it probably won't be for a while
They look pretty good
thanks!
I'm a logger. A friend recommended this video to pick on me since my corks are 12" tall all eyes (14 eye). Just curious, since these are a fashion boot not a real work boot, what do they cost? My next pair of corks are going to run around $750. Mine are about 20 years old & were rebuilt wrong so I'm going with a different company.
Try some Whites Smokejumpers : )
hahaha thanks for stopping by - you're the real deal! I was in construction for 15 years....I've tried Whites, Nicks, Red Wing, Chippewa and others....I'm no logger, but from what I've experienced with these boots, I would get Nicks or JK logger boots. Nicks makes a better product than Whites now - hands down IMHO, so I wouldn't go with Whites. And JK has great reviews from people with hardcore jobs.
@@thevintagefuture6567 I was hoping to go with Viberg, but they no longer make real boots. So I went with a different company.
yeaaaaah it sucks that Viberg stopped making work boots for the most part
I know these Jeans
good job broheim
These are gorgeous. The Clinch Yeagers are my grail boot. Someday!
Ah yeah the Yeagers are AWESOME! Tbh, if I could do it again and could have only one pair of Clinch, it would be the Yeagers.
That's a bit misleading if Minoru creates a special overdye to promote them but then delivers a different product. Then again you should keep wearing them over the years to come and see how they age. They will end up looking good still
Minoru's original pair was actually built using a completely different leather, you can find the article with them and other "early" Clinch models in the October 2018 issue of Lightning Magazine, issue Vol.190.
This is super helpful information - thank you so much
Quite right! Cheers
Those are nice boots. Thanks, I've never heard of this brand
Thanks! Tbh they're too expensive nowadays, but if you find some used, it's a cool brand to try.
@thevintagefuture6567 Yes, I checked out the website. Whoa. Still very cool though.
I love sugar canes and flat heads, but sometimes I wonder why the Japanese repro style companies rarely ever (if at all) use poly/cotton thread instead of 100% cotton for stitching. I guess that a lot of denim dorks (like myself) love the "true vintage" aesthetic of having your stitching fall apart in the crotch and back pockets. However, I regularly wonder that if I'm going to be spending $250-$350 on some Levis repros, it would be nice if there were some Japanese companies that would start tapping into the market of guys who wants the repro style jeans with objectively superior modern features such as the poly/cotton stitching and lined back pockets. I have a couple pairs of Iron Hearts that I love that have all these features, but their cuts kind of miss the mark in my opinion due to being too slim, whereas the repro companies seem to have cuts that work better for my thicker legs
For me the way the threads come apart and invite repair is part of the charm that tells the story of the jeans, just like fades do. It makes it feel more unique and personal, and its satisfying to feel like you are putting new life into something rather than assuming it will last forever.
yeah I feel this too....as much as I love the old school all-cotton vibe, I wouldn't want it on every pair. It gets wearisome having to repair every main pair of mine every 6 months....Also, this has helped me realize that a product is only as durable as its weakest part. So you could have a pair of jeans which as a whole will last 20 years, but if the crotch will only last 5 years of hard wear (including darning and other repairs during that time), technically the jeans only last 5 years, not 20.
Another great video david, i wish there were more options for jeans with alot of these characteristics, like a nice selvedge denim. High backpockets, smooth rivets on the back pocket with a classic straight fit, any suggestions?
not really any suggestions unfortunately....the closest is Mister Freedom, but they are similar only in certain aesthetic features. My guess is that Wrangler hasn't been copied by heritage brands because they're hard to improve on and already have a cult following for their modern product.
the belt loops and high back pockets are what got me to love Wranglers.
some very important features right there for sure!
Love the update, Dave. What do you wear on the summer? Do you ever do boots with shorts? Obviously not ones as tall as your clinch.
I don't really wear boots with shorts, although residential construction workers do that a lot. I don't wear shorts much to begin with. If I do wear shorts, I usually wear sandals.....In the summer, these days I'm usually wearing 6" boots or shoes like my Oakstreet moccasins or my Red Wing moc toe shoes. I also wear engineer boots in the summer if it's not too hot or if I'm gonna be inside with AC most of the day. I feel like chukkas and shoes are go-to for most people during the summer....Also, I wear wool socks all year round (thinner ones in summertime). Wool breathes better than cotton, even in the summertime.
@@thevintagefuture6567 thanks for sharing, Dave, I appreciate it!
boots look gnarly
yeah, I wear these kinda hard. Despite conditioning etc, they look beat.
Je songe m'en procurer une paire un jour. J'aime beaucoup le bout 310 mais voyant la qualité par rapport au prix et comment elles vieillissent très rapidement je remet ceci en question. On dirait qu'elles ont été portées beaucoup plus que 25 fois. Comme si ça faisait environ 10 ans que vous les aviez.
Just met Brian today looking to get a pair made. What other leather would you get instead of Chromexcell? Shinki is what I’m pining for…
yeah I wouldn't get CXL cuz it stretches too much....I would get some kind of hardy veg tan, whether horsebutt leather or regular.
Fun fact: Jack Nicholson also wore Lee Riders in The Shining
very cool!
Yo what is the burgandy shirt that your wearing at about 1:34!! that shirt is awesome id love to know the make
That's actually just a cheapo Target shirt I ended up with LOL....But Warehouse makes a great tee in that color which I want to get.
@@thevintagefuture6567 haha!! What a steal the colour is rad!
I have three pairs of selvedge jeans (two Levi's and a pair of Frame) and 11 pairs of various wrangler Cowboy Cut jeans. The 13s are great for work. There's a lot of room up top. When I dress casually just to do whatever I usually grab the 36 or 47. They're tighter in the seat but have a better look, in my opinion. I dig vintage stuff but I also dig comfort. But what do I know? I just recently got into heritage style boots. My opinion might not qualify as legit.
This is good experiential info - thank you!
why did you remove the wrangler patch?
It was an experiment to show that people who don't like Wrangler can wear Wrangler without it looking like they're wearing Wrangler. Also, the plastic patch is kind of annoying and cheap feeling. That said, I don't always remove the patch etc for my Wrangler jeans, I just did it for this video.
What flannel are you wearing around the 1:35 mark? That's sharp. @thevintagefuture6567
Thanks! It's a Freenote Cloth Jepson flannel. They don't sell this one anymore, but they have other cool ones.
I have two the strike gold zip hoodies love them I’m usually a med in normal clothes in this brand I’m xl and after a wash it’s perfect
Would you consider selling your reverse shell fat Herbie?
DM me on IG
@@thevintagefuture6567 I DM’d you
I’ve been a big 501 STF fan but ever since I saw the Magnificent Seven I’ve wanted that cowboy cut. I know that some of the actors are wearing Levi’s, but the rise you get in today’s STFs isn’t as high as those older models. I gotta give the Wranglers a try! Thanks for taking the time to film and edit this review! Definitely helpful. Subscribed! Let me know if you can find a decent pair of chinos that have a higher rise than the norm, are 100% cotton, and not super baggy (I.e Steve McQueen chinos). I’ve been hitting a dead end. Everything has stretch and I hate it lol.
Magnificent Seven is GREAT!! A classic. For chinos, what leg opening are you looking for? The Buzz Rickson Original Spec chinos might be right up your alley. I love mine. Here is my review of them and the 1945 version. I like the OS ones best. ua-cam.com/video/MVj2Tzdo1d8/v-deo.htmlsi=KCuJM-MMlqRgqVWE hinoya.shop/en-us/collections/buzz-ricksons/products/br40025a?variant=37980905734297
Those boots are absolutely gorgeous!! The patina on them is beautiful!
Glad you like them!
Nice sport coat. Like someone said in one of the replies. In a 3x2 roll jacket which you have. Its recommended never to button the very top button. It should remain hidden under your lapel. I noticed when you button the top it makes your lapel bunch up and it should be laying very flat against your chest
Thank you for the advice! I really appreciate it! Learning so many cool things about this side of menswear.
I am rocking TCB 20 jeans now . This brand makes amazing products. Nice vid 👍
I like Wrangler,s very durable and get more comfortable with every wash and wear, you are right about the pocket situation too, it doesn't bother me when I put my can of chew in my back pocket or my wallet thanks for the video!
Whites only offer D and EE.
I have no style. This video is very though provoking man.

I think I sweat too much for it too, but I wear it anyways hahaha - thanks!
You're stylin bro
hahaha thanks!
Best explanation i found on the net. thank you!
Has anyone used these boots for work and what was the outcome?
I use these for side-jobs (electrical work) and house projects and hiking, but I haven't submitted them to the rigors of a daily construction jobsite. They seem to have held up fine. They're tough as nails. Much more durable than the boots I used to wear when I was in construction daily.
