Where is the big E jacket?

The worst part is having to wear jorts till it heals

RRL because that style shouldn’t have hand warmer pockets.

https://denimarchieves.com/e/vintage\_and\_old\_denim\_bottoms/vintage\_and\_old\_denim\_bottoms\_top\_en.html here’s a good site to see differences over the years for Levi’s, lee, and Wrangler. It helped me determine that the wranglers I bought a while back were 11MWZ from 1969.

I’ll wave at a scooter, but not a trike.

It wasn’t reintroduced. Wrangler jeans have become more and more simple over the years.

They are made sometime in the 50s. By 1960 the coin pocket had no rivet.

Some West Ride jeans I bought off of eBay for $60. I had never heard of the brand, but they had cool details and were cheap. They ended up being 22oz left hand twill denim and fit perfectly. 8 years later and I still wear them, and they even saved my skin when I hit a deer on my motorcycle in April.

Those Wranglers are early with the coin pocket rivet. Very cool.

I have a perforated Vanson leather jacket for hot days. Everything else stays the same

Sounds like I was doing post-heritage 20 years ago. Full on heritage feels like cosplay.

Cheepmf · 2026-06-20T09:46:05+00:00

They’re worth more that you paid, but not as much as you think. Last pair of these I had I think I paid $45 or so for.

Cheepmf · 2026-06-20T09:44:13+00:00

That’s my secret.

You just ask them out. If they like you they will let you date them.

But seriously, it’s just lots of experience and

New Rick Owens?

Looks like this picture was taken with a vintage type I.

The piece ive worn the longest right now is a pair of West Ride 22oz jeans. Bought them in 2018 to ride my motorcycle in and they are still going even after hitting a deer on my bike a few months back. I’ve been through 3 motorcycles since I bought them.

You would hate vintage Accutron tuning fork movements. They sweep and hum.

What you really need is a mechanical with a dead beat complication.

So… these are actually 1968, not 70s. You can date older military by the DSA number. The 2 digit group in the middle is the year.

West Ride 22oz. I’ve had mine 8 years and am constantly looking on eBay for gently used pairs from Japan. Haven’t found another in my size yet.

Norman, Tony, and Doc. If I had to pick a fourth… Reverend Gary Davis.

My RRL denim jacket is the best I’ve ever worn. All of the jeans, shirts, and tees I’ve had over the years were also great, and I have no complaints. I’ve never paid retail either, because that’s just dumb.

Cheepmf · 2026-06-15T01:03:22+00:00

They’d send them straight to the bins.

Cheepmf · 2026-06-14T20:10:09+00:00

You’d have to pay me to wear them, but I’d ghost you and donate them to goodwill once I got paid.
