is it a 5-star ? has they change the material from twill to poplin cotton as seen from photo ?

for those who are interested in N1- there is a very nutritious post. the comparison of a fur cuff c.1943 vs a non-fur cuff c.1944 is especially rare & informative. I have seen hundreds if not thousands of info. on N1 & this is absolutely THE BEST one - par none. For the cloth, i tend to agree...

no... I bought them in a local flea mkt. Re-making Levis without authorization is illegal.

Fairly recently in Oct22, a pair of 1890 201 jeans was sold @ US$87k in US, then subsequently sold at a higher price to Japan. As I cannot afford to pay almost US$200,000 for a 1910 jacket & 1890 pants, I have accidentally picked up a pair of fake in a local flea mkt. Pls noted that 1 important...

Just shifted to other hobbies of painting pics. stopped the clothing fever - but clothing always locate at the back of my heart. Recently (last yr), acquired a pair of fake single stitched levis jacket & jeans ( ~the earliest! 1890) in a local flea mkt . Not sure where to post them here, if...

apart from the cloth & the back of collar, the 5-star is quite well-made, given its px. but I have not gone seriously into the details, just glance through.

\ Add a supplement - solide buckle & 99% finished - the rest is fine tune.

very nice, to make contrast, better to paint the flowers in other colors other than the face color.

Yeah, only about 1/2 finished. I estimate it will take 100+ hours to finish it. VERY timing consuming. SO if U add my labour costs per hour into it - at US$10 per hour, the costs is like US$1000; which I am not willing to do as I think it is undervalued. At $20/hr, it will cost US$2000 + jacket...

Silver, I am glad U like it. I am afraid it is not cost effective to do embroidered patch to sell as it takes so much time. If done by machines, yes; if done by hand, no no.

Hi B-Man, just a bit of side talk, U know I am from HK & English is not my mother tongue. I want to ask How do U feel my written English ? I know native speaker do have tolerances towards non- native speakers; but 1-10, how to you find my written English from a native speaker stand point ? or...

That is a vintage polo patch sewn on a type III jacket - the quality of the patch is excellent, but the result is just..... lacking of the little "ding" look.... That leds me to do my own Indian chief head embroidery - i want to get an Exact copy of the one in the book of the King of Vintage.

When I 1st saw this jacket from the book King of vintage, I immediate like it by 1st glance. I want to own it. Not until 2 yrs approx., I started to source an Indian chief head patch & sew it on a type III jacket. The result is ok but still is not what I want. Then not until very recently I...
