Thanks. I love it too. Keep looking as they're out there!

Hi. feel your hook to make sure it's smooth without any sharp area's.

Hi, great pieces to own. I don't know who to contact for appraisals. what do the tags say on them?

@@derekdoeschannel I'm not sure. The only thing I know about them is he bought the 2 jeans and the jacket 1 month before he was drafted into the army for WW1 in 1917. He moved from PA to CA in 1916 to do logging. I'm a logger so my girlfriend decided I have to know all about this stuff. Which I don't.

@@johnvelas70 Well if they're a size 42 or so, I'd wear them! (for me that is). But you have probably quite a few thousands of dollars worth of Levi's. Depending on condition of course. The 501's are probably in the 3-4K range each. The jacket is probably the same. They only go up with years so unless you need the money now I'd hang on to them. Amazing you still have them. Send some pics of them to my email. (on my page.). Thanks!

@@derekdoeschannel I'll tell her to send pics. Sorry but they are a 32" waist (fit me) & cut off at the bottom for safety to about 22" or 23".

@@johnvelas70I can wear a 32 waist, jacket needs to be a 42 or so

Do you want a straight stitch or chain stitch?

@@derekdoeschannel I’m thinking I need a walking foot. I have a few different projects I like to do, but I’m thinking to stay on track with my pack material. So straight stitch. Although I like the double needle and chain stitch underneath, like your video machine did. I can measure exactly what I need, and it’s vintage military stuff I like to work on.

@@markbosley8016 I have a needle feed 111wsv71 that was made for the Army in WWII for sale that would do the job for you.

Yeah it’s not 100%

Thanks! And great you have one also! The crystal is acrylic like most all watches of that era. I haven't checked lately what they're going for. Prices rise and fall in the watch world. I'm sure you'll double or more whatever you paid for it.

@derekdoeschannel okay thank u for the love and reply and info.

@@ebonwestbrook5580 perfect plan.

@@ebonwestbrook5580 wow! All 3! I haven’t been to a show yet but I will see when the next ones are coming up. If you know of a louver for it, I’m looking. Thanks

@@derekdoeschannel the louvers are considered a unicorn part by fellow 3geez members as its hard to find a set for either the sedan or hatchback, but SFX performance has what youre looking for if 500$ is worth the appearance mod

@@ebonwestbrook5580 I’ve found that out. I saw one but I had to buy the car it came with. lol

I think you'll have to re-dye it white. I think that the original white has deteriorated or had heavy sun damage. White leather is difficult to keep white.

Yes if you don’t want the patina.

@@derekdoeschannel Very true. Growing up we didn't like patina, as it looked old and poor and unkept in my country, so we put the brown/black shoe paste on our shoes and sometimes even jackets. It really depends what you prefer and what the trend is, no right or wrong.

Unwashed, raw unsanforized.

They are great!

Just a bit but nothing to worry about. I’ll make more. lol

@@derekdoeschannel cool!

Wearing selvedge raw denim isn't for everyone. No, they didn't have any smell, I'm not sure why peoples pants would stink after a period of time? Washing your denim after every wear severely limits the amount of time they're still wearable. I think it goes back to when these jeans would have been "new" as in 1937. Men back then didn't wash their jeans every time they wore them. They'd probably get a few washes per year actually and not in modern machines like today. That is why vintage denim looks so much better than todays denim. They try to copy the look but it's never the same as original, actually worn in denim from the past.

Fantastic! Keeping it original is the way to go. Have fun with it!

Black jeans fade very quickly with a wash. I’d only wash them when really needed.

What do you mean? 30 would be too small for me both in the waist and leg.

It's hit and miss on them. It's left over for guys that didn't want the "new" belt.

Since the fabric is different than raw selvedge, washing them early won't really make a huge difference.

Thanks. I've always done that also, a one soak. I like the legs long myself. I've been lucky that they've stretched back out a bit in the waist, so they're not as tight as when I first washed them.

Thanks. I don't think any bleach will get on these. I don't mind dinginess myself... lol. I've owned all the LVCs. Conners is 100% fit to originals. Plus they are made on the same year machines as originals which makes them a bit better than LVCs.

Thanks! Me too

Thanks. I don't know for sure. Have you checked all the Japanese stores online?

Thanks! I have to agree!

Makes sense!

I’d still go with the medium. Unless you like a looser fitting jacket. If you’re stuffing a puffy jacket under it then maybe go large. These are bigger than a store bought jacket to begin with. I can wear a small but it’s more fitting.

Nice!

Hi it depends on the year and color. Anywhere between $40-$300

Me too!

@@derekdoeschannel a few years ago, I saw a teen riding a 1980's Suzuki FA 50. I was excited, and had a nice crat with the young fella. 🙂 Mopeds and mopeds are awesome!!! 👍🏻

What do you mean? These are LVC reproductions.

@@derekdoeschannel ah OK, el usa es una réplica vintage anterior al japonés, en el bolsillo interior dice Levis Vintage Clothing 2016 - USA 2016-2018 Bulgari 2019 - presente Japan

@@Nicoya thanks!

@@derekdoeschannel While you're at it, you'll also want to make sure that the checkspring hasn't hopped over the stop, which is quite common if the thread snags or gets tangled. The spring should rest against a notch in the casting behind the tension unit when the thread is slack, and bump up against the adjustable stop when the thread is pulled taut.

Thanks for that info!

The coupe is nice but yes, the hatchback is the machine! Keep a lookout I've a few in the last few months for sale, not quite as nice as this one, but worth putting some work into.

Yes, I've heard that recently.

Make that your mission! I love them both.

I have a similar model already.

I'm sure you're right.

It did get there without a scratch.

I'd first scrape off the dirt with putty knife, then use soapy water over and over again on a rag and wipe it down as best you can.

@@derekdoeschannel thank you!

Thank you! I'm not sure that one has been downloaded in the past or not.

You get use to the belt. My 42 black sheep irvin fits better than the 44.
