that's a joke between BBB and me. in 2004 he gave me a pair of Levi's 927 type 1 jeans. (you see, i am a levi's girl, and when we met, he was working for levi's headquarters in brussels)
the type 1 series is not your standard levi's jeans. and my 927 is super low in front (two-button fly, no zip) and tight in the thigh, and properly flared, with the exaggerated stitches of the type 1 series. i loved that pair, and a lot of people noticed it too. even staff at levi's shops would ask me where i got them.
the inside joke is embroidered on the outside. the word "superior" is embroidered in gothic script using golden yellow thread--across the bum area. did levi's mean superior jeans, coz BBB and i always say perhaps it means i have a superior bum.
to cut a long story short (and to disallow more of my levi's geekiness from showing through), those 927 were and still are my favorite jeans. i was wearing them til i was about 3 months pregnant. and the best part of all this is, i tried them on today and they fit.
they don't fit well yet (uhm, can i say muffin top?) but having mysteriously lost 4 pounds in the 3 weeks we were in the UK for the holidays, i had the guts to try them on this morning (there was a bit of mold on it from hanging in this climate unused for sooooo long--is it really nearly two years?).
yes, they fit. this is good news.
