~Today marks one year since its release~

 

Good evening. This is Uemura from WEST.

It's been a year since it was released today.

Let me introduce you to this denim.

 

 

 

 

[Pre-order item, expected to arrive in November-December] JELADO Age of Longing Black tag 11EXX Denim Pants [JP12E]

 

This is currently

This item is currently available for pre-order.

 

Speaking of LEVI'S icons

This product number is size 501.

 

Among those 501s

The highly rated model is

This is a 1947XX made in 501.

 

This 1947 501XX is

Many brands are based on this 501XX

It all started when I started making clothes.

This is what it's called.

 

"The greatest masterpiece in the history of 501XX"

That was the 47XX from 501.

 

In fact, the 501XX of this era

It is divided into early and late types.

 

What does this mean??

I would like to explain this.

 

The Second World War ended in 1945

Until the end of the war in 45.

At each Levi's factory,

War model (S501XX/S506XX)

It was being produced.

 

However, the war ended, material controls were lifted, and

LEVI'S also has the 501XX before the detail change

We will return it to each factory.

I have some leftover fabric that was used for the war model.

 

So, we decided to make a new denim fabric.

Instead of using it all at once, use the leftover fabric.

After using it, I changed it to the 501XX before the material control.

We are going to return it.

*It says 501XX before material control.

Some details have been eliminated.

 

So after the end of the war in 1945

Towards 1947

There is a transitional period.

 

The transitional period is a little over 1947,

It is divided into early and late types.

 

So what is the early 1947 model?

The fabric used in the war model

Due to the use of denim fabric, the color of the denim fabric may vary.

It is characterized by its strong black color.

 

The late 1947 model (the best 501XX ever)

Indicates a natural denim fabric with a strong blue tint.

 

 

jelado's Last Resort fabric

With a white label "white tag"

 

It is divided into "black tag" with a black label.

 

And the reason for dividing it into these two tags is,

This is because the focus is on different age groups.

 

The white tag mentioned earlier is

The denim fabric has a strong blue hue.

It is positioned as "XX of the 50s."

 

The black tag is Vintage. For rubber

I'm sure you've heard of it.

Because it becomes a dark denim fabric,

It is positioned as "XX in the 40s."

 

The "Black Tag" that I will introduce this time is

As I wrote above, today

It's been a year since its release.

 

So, two WEST staff members raised

Let's compare 301EXX with the product.

 

(Yamamoto/worn for 1 year)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Uemura/Worn for 11 months)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, the way they are worn is different.

The way the color fades will also be completely different.

 

For example, commuting by bicycle versus commuting by train

The way the knees come out and the way the thighs rub together will be different, so there will be differences in color.

Also, are you buying a slightly looser size?

The fit of the shoes will also make a difference in the area behind your knees.

 

However, we are still growing both of them.

I hope to continue to enjoy it and watch it change over time.

Today's BLOG focused on 301EXX.

 

 And the jacket with the black tag...
