Othe...First of all, Sta-Prest is a Levis trademark. Other companies used terms like Perma-Prest, Nerver Needs Ironing, Wrinkle Free, Crease Free. It has more to do with the property of the material than the material itself. Those "jeans" I imagine you are referring too are "wrinkle free". It said so on the the original tag so hence can be put in the "Sta-Prest" category.Patrick Foisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610371104788169232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352949628152379365.post-27731144172062851422015-01-14T11:23:20.532-05:002015-01-14T11:23:20.532-05:00they are jeans not sta prest, sta prest are like t...they are jeans not sta prest, sta prest are like thishttp://images.esellerpro.com/2244/I/274/48/Merc%20Sta%20Prest%20Trousers%20Wine.jpggeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258332886749996888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352949628152379365.post-85905709490457568472014-03-03T11:56:38.814-05:002014-03-03T11:56:38.814-05:00your best bet for vintage feel and cut levis sta-p...your best bet for vintage feel and cut levis sta-prest would be the 517 text-twill (with a seamstress working on a taper - they are slightly flared!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352949628152379365.post-89594473093933316642013-10-01T10:50:57.928-04:002013-10-01T10:50:57.928-04:00There were only two makes of sta prest worth havin...There were only two makes of sta prest worth having.

This is probably the instance where I feel they are appropriate. I bet we are probably on the same page on that even if they are not "your thing".<br /><br />For those of you who are curious about the Desert Boot debate, check this great blog post from Mod Male.<br /><br />http://mod-male.blogspot.ca/2011/08/desert-boot.htmlPatrick Foisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610371104788169232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352949628152379365.post-19557688598413015872012-08-10T11:04:18.603-04:002012-08-10T11:04:18.603-04:00Bullseye!

I used to have more when I was younger and am upset that I tailored them town, back then, instead of keeping some of the flares.<br /><br />In LA, there's a western shop in my grandmother's neighborhood that caters to the Mexican rancheros in the area. This shop is filled mostly with deadstock Western wear ('60s/'70s), but also has some deadstock Levis and Wranglers sta-prest. This is what I wear now.<br /><br />They are perfect pants... perfect for casual wear, perfect for work (office), and can look great with a suit jacket, tie, etc. Needless to say, I wear them A LOT.<br /><br />Great article and man, oh, man... those labels! Especially the Tee Kays!Supermodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441428489565098268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352949628152379365.post-88767574627869054822012-08-10T08:38:52.698-04:002012-08-10T08:38:52.698-04:00the lee aint sta prest mate, they are jeansthe lee aint sta prest mate, they are jeansgeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258332886749996888noreply@blogger.com
