It's already been 5 years since I became a denim "lost child".
With changes in body shape due to aging,
I'm an old man in my 40s who no longer knows what clothes suit me.
Recently, in addition to the summer fatigue,
It seems like my body is getting weaker and weaker each year due to the heat.
I feel like withdrawing to a cool room,
As I get more opportunities to go outside, my muscle strength also decreases.
I also feel that the number of typos I make when typing on my computer has increased dramatically, perhaps because of my muscular strength.
When it's this hot, you don't really care what you wear,
I don't have the energy to go buy new clothes, so I end up wearing the clothes I already have.
The denim, which used to have a loose fit, now has a tight fit.
For someone who basically only wears non-stretch denim,
At the same time, I felt the pain of my knees being taken away when I sat down.
I was convinced that I was completely sized out.
Denim that should have escaped from being lost,
Summer 2023 is shocked to be sent into the labyrinth again.
The new denim made with a new determination,
I had to choose a waist size of 36 inches (actual size 34) for the first time in my life...
We also sell vintage watches,
I think you have some knowledge of vintage items, so
When choosing denim, I would not hesitate to choose vintage denim.
The reason why you don't like non-stretch denim is
The main reasons are the extremely excellent ``ease of wear'' and ``discoloration and damage processing''.
It's also good to wear your own shoes that are rigid (unwashed) and have a faded color.
If you wait for the color to fade to your liking, the longevity will come first.
Rigid denim for old men can be a bit embarrassing, so
I want to choose vintage denim that has faded color to suit my aging skin.
Recently, due to the vintage boom, watches, motorcycles,
Prices of cars, cameras, etc. are rising all at once.
Like most clothing items these days, there are items that come at super premium prices.
It seems that the prices of Levi's 501, which we are all familiar with, are going up all at once.
The model I chose this time is one from the late 1970s, commonly known as the "late 66" among the 501s.
In the 1980s, the fabrics and dyeing changed and the colors did not fade very well, so
Something that has been sold off for a long time.
Nowadays, it seems that it can be traded for an outrageous amount depending on the condition,
This is the same fabric as the classic early 66 vintage 501.
This is a fabric that is just about to change over, so it is commonly known as a fabric that "falls vertically."
This would cost a lot of money in the first half of 1966, so I wouldn't be able to afford it.
The amount is still affordable in the late 1966s.
Well, it's not cheap, which is the trend of the times.
However, I think the basics of denim these days are the 66 model,
A slightly tapered silhouette,
It feels like it raises the waist and at the same time gives you a good amount of room to move around.
However, personally, I think the 66 series looks cool in these colors.
It is also good to have one that is not discolored or has a thick beard.
66 is something you wear until it has holes and falls apart.
Older ones such as Big E and XX (Double X) seem to have different dyes, so
The darker the color, the more valuable it is, and the price can reach national treasure level.
However, I use not only watches but also clothes and shoes.
I believe that the value of something is only if you use it up and repair it.
After all, it is best to be a ``practical item''.
It is said that hell depends on money,
It's good to have money to give to cross the river, but
Even if you cherish your vintage denim,
Hell's minions won't understand (lol)
Let's wear them while we're still healthy!
