look to be a well made jean. How long before your ubiquitous knee fades appear?

[almostnice]

very well crafted indeed. kneefades will take a bit longer, as bending down with 21oz takes a while. first day walking round the flat i felt restricted, moved like a robot. button them up was another issue, not because of the fit but the tightness of the denim.

They fit you great and they look well crafted. What did you pay for them?

[Planetarium]

These look brilliant. I'm having a hard time keeping my finger off Add to Cart.

[almostnice]

it was a gift. retail is ca. $ 200.- or € 150,-.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

A gift? Wow..you lucky dude! Is there a reason you deserved it?

don't know, but even the hamburg customs agreed with this and let it pass without any hassle.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

has to be the first time
at least you don't have to fear any custom problems with the contest sammys

Old Blues site is pretty interesting too, Looks like excellent value for money as well. Their 8.25 cut is a good classic one.

[kit99bar]

$200 is a great price. Unfortunately out of stock for most sizes.

[PandaDog]

Nice fit almostnice! Hoping they would restock the 21 oz.

[PandaDog]

Btw, is the denim comparable to anything youve handled before?

[Gnob]

With you endorsing this model, it'll (inevitably) sell like hotcakes...

What currency is CA? I put that into Google and come up empty...

[sweapea]

They look superb on you almostnice!! Great find, but too bad they are so low on sizes!

[yhng4]

blueoctoberfan i think "ca" refers to the Canadian dollar. I tried converting € 150 and it worked out to about $205 CAD so i'm guessing that's what it is

[fre-co]

You silly people, ca means circa. Or to simplify, about.

this is new terrain for me. never had anything above 15oz. i cannot even guess how the denim will develop over time. i will try and do some macro pics soon.

i was always under the impression that $ stands for us currency, hence my usage of it.

oldblue is a company from indonesia, so indonesian rupies as currency sounded right to me. at least thats what i choosed using the currency converter.

[Maynard Friedman]

I hope those jeans don't suffer from premature indigonesia!

[PandaDog]

Will be looking forward to the macro pics almostnice! Lets wait and see how the 21 oz evolves! Thanks!

[yax]

very surprised finding this in sufu. markus, thank you so much for posting this.

just a brief introduction, i'm yax from oldblue co. we're a very small denim brand from far away country, indonesia. as you can see, most of the heavy weight stock are sold out for now. its also because our production scale is really small for right now.

but we do have a plan to restock them sometimes in december or in the early of next year. but then again, we won't have them much.

if you guys allow me, i'd really love to post some other new (and interesting, i hope) oldblue's article(s) that we currently have, or maybe our upcoming article(s).

sorry for this long post, and cheers!

[jeanbannon]

Oldblue is of the finest denim brand in Indonesia. very great job yax ! I can't wait to get my hands on your heavyweight lol

Indonesian Rupiah, quite similar with Indian Rupee.

Sorry Jean, I hit the wrong button.

[oomslokop]

@yax will probably post this himself, but for those who cant wait oldblue has just released a version of their 8.25" cut overdyed with natural indonesian indigo. heres a link to his post in the indonesian darahkubiru forum (dont worry its in english): http://www.darahkubi...start=1275#wrap

[lance]

^^ I emailed him about buying a pair a couple of days ago but received no response. Are they available yet?

[oomslokop]

some were sold at the annual wall of fades denim expo http://www.darahkubi...6243b71e3043f61 (biggest in south east asia!). maybe @yax was pretty busy with the expo im sure hell reply to you soon hes usually good with responses. some pictures of the jeans in this thread http://www.darahkubi...4b0&start=10950 (click the spoiler/show button)

This answer maybe can represent what needed to say by Yax. Indonesia has just held some event, Wall of fades (The Biggest event for the of denim enthusiast /heads / lovers / etc in south-east Asia), and Old Blue.co (OBC) has become onefrom the the brands who participated in the event. event was held for 3 days (andjust finished last night), and in that time he (Yax, one of the owners of OBC and his partner are also the owners) are very busy because of serves directly all visitors.And maybe he's in 3 days does not have enough time to repay all emails or any kind of response (of course by internet / online) from the all customers.

and Honestly, I did not get the the heavyweight edition ...
