Yep, those Levi's weren't really smartly designed; too low o've an inseam

I don't know if these fit into an existing thread, so I'll just post them in my favorite thread (or half of it, anyway).

Kinney Colorado boots, $3 at a local garage sale - I'm guessing 80s or 90s (Kinney was gone in '98).
edit: They were making them in 1979, but who knows for how long.

Great boots- got a pair exactly like them around '78, and wore them until they fell apart in the late '80's.

I always just criss- cross tied them all the way up. The idea behind that set- back set of speedlacers was ankle support.

The Levi's website notes the inseam on the buckleback jeans at 12.5". That is not bad if accurate.
The model looks to be wearing them in the current low slung fashion.
Trying on a pair is the best way to check the rise.

Not on their site (that I've found), but I picked up this great 1930's/1940's-style Johnson Motors undershirt.

Levi's inseams

Yeah, we tall people are out of luck. I'm 6'4" and with shrinkage and everything, need at least a 36 inch inseam in Levi's to show any cuff at all.

Believe it or not, Old Navy actually had some decent rigid selvedge jeans available about 6-7 years ago for only like $40 or so-- longest inseam available: 34. :rage:

Being able to cuff is actually part of what inspired me to learn how to make my own.

That's really a killer shirt for the money. I love it.

I noticed that the Lucky Brand t-shirts are slightly different than the normal Johnson Motors ones. They seem to be wider and shorter and not quite as good in quality. They used to be the same at one point, even the tag is different now (real Johnson Motors have the black/gold hang tag).

Don't s'pose anyone could nab me one of these shirts, could they? An XL, please. When we were in NYC back in April they were still $70!

I could Paypal the moolah & postage to the UK, it'd be much appreciated
