same with aho i hem mine to 29 and 2 cuff

[edmond]

to be honest i prefer fortyniners or freewhweelers than the denimbridge

[Sugar Mountain]

Ukeno - echoing what Aho said, that fit looks perfect as it is and I'm sure that's the intended shape of the cut. Really has a classic feel to it. Only thing I would suggest is another roll of the cuff or taking a off at the hem so there is not so much break and you don't get that ''ankle-flare''.

I bought a pair of one-wash TCB 50s for my dad's birthday in late December and they just arrived. After trying them on, he couldn't do more than two buttons up the fly. The waist (size 32) measures 77cm, which is considerably less than the 82cm I've seen advertised around. In fact, they fit me more or less perfectly in the waist, and I'm used to wearing size 29 jeans. Is this common with TCB?

[edmond]

will stretch bro super

[edmond]

no 0ne fancies sasafras on in here?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I only saw them a few times on IG or the like.

Do you have some information to share?

[edmond]

yes i am currently breakin in a pair of fall leaf in 13.5 oz non selvedge denim.

 

the extra pockets are so useful and the fabric is really nice greencast to it.

 

the fit is tandard straight cut.. so happy with mine planning to purchase another pair..

They shrink from tagged size, but will stretch back pretty quickly

Not sure if you guys follow fortyniners on instagram, but this is why I'm fiending for the upcoming 1946 Miura-san collaboration pair:

http://ameblo.jp/fn1849/entry-11984897482.html

 

Attention to detail is admirable, the fabric as well has great character (better pictures on insta). I'm hoping the oz. will be period accurate as well as the 1947 409xx were too much for my taste (16oz) but I'm not sure I'll care once the finished product is released!

 

Also peep this video they posted from last year:

I got to say, I am a sucker for patches and that one is amazing. Love the simplicity, and how classic it looks. Mind linking instagram?

Wish I had patience to sit through whole video, but skimming through it and I love this. Would be cool to see videos like this from others.

Edit: pretty blown away that he went from zero to finished in 2 hours. Must take a few pairs to get to that level of efficiency

Flash and I are eyeing those fortyniners for quite a while. Still not sure if you can buy them directly or if you need a proxy

[edmond]

whats the fit?? u want one too

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I like what I see so far...but I am not sure if I get them in the end.

 

It's a '46 model..well so I guess the fit will be between '44 and '47 but who knows until they are released?

[edmond]

wow. just like devis?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

 but who knows until they are released?

Ed these are a 46 cut, very similar to WWII fit:

They're based on the same pair owned by Yawara Miura which the Devis were based on so they'll be similar! Except this time everything will be produced by Conners Sewing Factory in house (Fortyniners brand) and they look to be yet another perfect repro status type pair in my opinion!

[edmond]

wow the devis 46 cut has quite a low rise

[Broark]

Man, the Denim Bridge 3rd lot sample looks awesome...

[guthriegking]

^ those look great.

[oomslokop]

another thing i love about double volante jeans (also present on my champloos) is that the backpockets are perfect mirror image of each other. seems like kuniyoshi cuts two different patterns for the left and right backpockets instead of just one pattern for both (as you can see on the 2nd denimbridge version). he also sews them so the stitching mirrors each other too. <3 <3 <3.

[oomslokop]

the "Uneune, width uneven" selvedge outseam is insanity! hahahahaha!

[Sigur Rós]

Can somebody explain the reason behind the sewn fabric on the leather patch?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

He did it so the leather can't age (by light and what else) before you really start wearing the jeans

[UkeNo]

The DB/DV are looking really nice aren't they.

I wasn't sure I'd want a 2nd pair but even if it's just for sizing I'm going to get a pair of these in March when they're ready.

Well spotted Ooms

[Broark]

Anyone planning on picking up the Denim Bridge 3rd lot?

Looks like size charts are up for post wash and they'll be online in the next few days.

I'm not sure I could pull off a rise that low (10.6 in on the size 36...) but they are tempting at that price.

[garden gnomes in space]

yup, the rise and thigh measurements seal the deal that I will not be wearing this jean

[Broark]

I think I'm in the same boat gnomes, which really bums me out.

Guess that helps with me getting the new Stevenson jeans though.

[bradl]

Hate when there is no back rise measurment, never paid any attention to front rise as it's never been a factor. But am surprised at price considering DV name.
