They do get pretty dirty but I am surprised at how much of the muck will just dust off, particularly once it's dried off. I don't to wash them much, because I'm trying to get more defined fades, but when I do wash them they come up pretty clean, even the grass stains tend to come out.

No real fades as yet, I haven’t really had the opportunity to wear it as much as I’d like and jackets take longer to fade than jeans as well.

@@razor6552 I love my Harringtons too, they’re such a versatile jacket.

No the belt is from an AliExpress store called Cow Traveller Store. It’s their Vegetable Tanned Leather Genuine Full-Grain Handmade Belt. a.aliexpress.com/_mOhCX7Q

Thanks, I’m hoping to do an updated list for spring/autumn when I get the time.

Hi @uncannyfox No I didn’t have any issues with the dye transfer. I did give them an initial soak so that may have removed some of the excess indigo before I gave them their first proper wash. It could also be that the particular pair you had were just an extra heavily dyed batch.

I’m 170cm (5’7”) tall and 80kg (176 lbs) and my Ben Nevis Combat is a medium. It’s definitely a roomier fit that the Barracuta and the Ben Sherman harringtons

​​@@TheTwistedHazel i like the looser fit of the combat. Im 177 cm, 80 kg. I wonder if i should go for the L size

Mine are holding up well but I tend to only wear them occasionally. They’re not the softest under foot and my feet feel it if I’m walking around in them all day. I do want to upgrade to a more premium alternative, I’ve currently got my eyes on a pair from Oliver Cabell that I’ve read are extremely well made.

Thank you so much for the comment. I wear it quite often for work (I’m a gardener by trade) and I ended up changing out the leather strap for a silicone one. As you can imagine it has to deal with getting wet and dirty and it’s still going strong. I’d love to get a stainless steel bracelet with curved end links for it but it’s tricky to find the right size & fit at an affordable price.

Thank you 🙏

Sorry if my reply is too late but I’d definitely recommend sizing up, especially if you have a slightly wider foot or large big toes. Thanks for watching

It's ok, I went ahead and got my size and they fit perfectly.

@@billyhong5071 glad to hear 👍

Thanks for watching a.aliexpress.com/_mOHNVay

and UES Japan !!!! you're missing the best flannels on the market

I love the Ironheart flannels, I’ve tried some on and love their feel but they’re just too expensive for my budget.

@@TheTwistedHazel I thought so too .... but after getting one .. Its worth it to sell every one of your other flannels to get just one Iron Heart

Thanks. I have ended up washing it and putting it through the dryer. I fits much better now, it’s still roomy but that’s typical of the type 2 jacket. The sleeves are still a bit long on me but that’s almost always the case for me being a shorter guy.

Thanks, I’m glad I could help

They’ve actually come down in price at amzn.asia/d/aqHphux

Thanks, glad you liked it

Thank you, glad you liked it.

Thank you. I couldn’t believe it when I found the jacket and it was only $18. It’s missing some buttons at the front but they’re easily replaced. The watch is also very inexpensive from AliExpress.

Thank you so much. That’s really kind.

Thank you 🙏

Hello. You guys make a great pair of jeans.

@@TheTwistedHazel Can I get your contact information?

@@TheTwistedHazel Can I get your contact details

You can contact me at thetwistedhazel@gmail.com

I have an IPhone 13 Pro which is about 15cm long, the front pockets are deep enough for the phone but it sticks out a little bit in the back pockets

@@TheTwistedHazelnice ! For me that’s perfect😄 & also from what I saw in the waist measurements the vintage run bit small? Or shrinkage from hot water my guess ???

@@TheTwistedHazel well I want to say maybe it was that of them being washed in hot water . I’m seeing a brand new vintage pair (75-80 maybe) just waiting on measurements to see how compared to sizing with my other jeans to see if it’ll be perfect for my boots

Yeah I would always get the actual measurements before buying because even deadstock vintage the sizing could be odd.

@@TheTwistedHazel I got sent the pics today and for it being brand new and putting once again around it being from 1975-1985 ( ish) , they do run bit smaller then the modern ones and they aren’t even the slim fit style either just cowboy straight leg & also from what I saw in your video even the vintage ones had a nice high waisted style too, right ?

It’s actually the care label that helped me identify their age. I’ve done a full review of them where I go through this in more detail ua-cam.com/video/oUa4t1ogKwc/v-deo.html I got the information originally from @LootFam who have a fantastic video on identifying vintage Wranglers

@@TheTwistedHazel thank you for that info & I’ll check out that video you put in the link . Also I’ll check out loots video & also if it’s used , you do the Lysol laundry sanitizing or just regular wash and line dry??

@@TheTwistedHazelthat video helped a lot thanks !

Ok

The type 1 and type 2 jackets do tend to be a bit boxy as they were originally designed as workwear. I’ve got a type 2 from Bronson and it’s definitely a roomy/boxy fit. I’m pretty impressed with the denim of these jeans, I’m no expert but the Selvedge looks genuine to me. I just got them hemmed at a specialist denim store and they were impressed by the quality as well.

Thanks

Thanks 🙏

Thanks

Broken Twill was introduced in the mid 60s by Wrangler, not the 40s. Naked and Fmous do broken twill from time to time, check out their Elephant 11 Broken Twill.

Thanks for the info. I did see that Naked and Famous do broken twill, I’d love to check them out but you can only get them online in Australia. There’s also a Chinese brand called Second Order that I believe do Selvedge broken twill as well.

Thanks, glad you like it

No, Wranglers moved away from using selvage denim some time in the early 60s. Wrangler does have an archive range which replicates their vintage styles from this time and they have some models which are made from Japanese selvage.

I really have been impressed with their fit, I love my Lee 102 jeans but I keep going back to these vintage Wranglers. Maybe it’s just because they’ve already been worn in but the denim just feels comfortable and robust, not to mention I’m loving the 70’s 80’s vibes they’re giving me.

🤔

No unfortunately it doesn’t look like they do this particular t-shirt without the pocket. They do have this option without the pocket: a.aliexpress.com/_m0SUefw It’s 310gsm/9oz in weight so not as heavy as this pocket tee but still what I would class as a heavyweight t-shirt

@@TheTwistedHazel You’re a legend, thank you for taking the time to find that for me i appreciate it!

Always happy to help 👍

Yes the Lee Jackets are hard to come by in Australia as well, it’s one of the reasons I bought this Simwood jacket as it’s a good alternative. There’s also a Storm Rider style jacket that’s made by Red Tornado brand on AliExpress, I’ve had my eye on it for a while but they appear to be out of stock for the moment.

They’re certainly not as slim in the thigh as some boot cut jeans, definitely roomier than Wranglers, but I do like being able to get may hands in the pockets without it being a struggle. It would have been nice to compare the 33 to the 34 but ai wasn’t going through the hassle of sending them back to Japan for an exchange.

@@TheTwistedHazel I also ended up with the pants I bought online in the wrong size. I still can't choose the right measurements. The best thing is without a doubt to try it in the store before buying. I would like to have the right size of legs to fit neatly into pants. Sometimes it looks good on the legs but doesn't fit around the waist. I only have access to pants from more well-known brands, but with a lot of model limitations, the Levi's 501 36x34 is too big for me. The ideal would be a 34x32 but I found it tight when I tried it on in the store. I really liked the softness of the cotton without elastane

Thanks, glad you like.

Classic look 👌👌👌👌💯💯

Thanks and well spotted. Yes this is actually a reproduction of the Levis 507xx type 2 jacket from 1954. This was the precursor to the current type 3 Levis trucker jacket which was introduced in 1962.

@@TheTwistedHazel Is there any advantages of buying it from Bronson? I mean I assume you had no options since it was a gift for you. Let me know :D

If you’re comparing like with like then the Bronson is significantly cheaper than Levis, currently on the Levis website a type 2 jacket in raw selvage denim will cost AUD$440 (on special) where as you can get the Bronson on AliExpress for about AUD$180. If you’re comparing to a different type of denim jacket then it’s really depends on what style and features you’re after.

Thanks, she does like to be involved.

Thank you. I’m really glad I could be of help. Despite some of my complaints, I do still enjoy this watch, I’ve just added a better leather band and matching gold buckle which makes a big difference.

Waist 34, what size should I get?

@@kkkk-nt5pr I found out W33 but real size is 34 which is okay . since it is skinny i recommned u buy 34

As it’s a regular straight fit they are a bit more forgiving in size. I was a 32 when I bought these, I’ve recently gained some weight and am now a size 33 but I can still wear these fine. They will stretch a bit over time, especially after a couple washes.

Is that sarcasm or denim purity? All opinions welcome 😀

Machine wash inside out without spin cycle is how you’re supposed to wash them.

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it. When I was at Ben Nevis clothing I was tossing up between the racing green and the army green, which also looked awesome, but in the end I needed something a bit brighter so the racing green won out (also it’s a very iconic British colour).

@@AndrewGrant-bx5gz I have a bright green one like this. The more I wear it, the more I like it.

Strange indeed, although with older more traditional crafts you do tend to have less guarantee of material uniformity. At the end of the day you’ve at least got a unique pair of jeans.

But it is a cheap watch, and you get what you pay for.
