I saw this from a Standard and Strange sales associate about the black 20s pair. it sounds like the product description once they’re up on the site “S&S x Ooe 10 Year Anniversary Jeans: These are cut with a tall mid-rise (right at the border of what we'd consider high-rise) as well as plenty of room through the seat and thighs. The legs are straight almost the entire way down, with a silhouette and details that were inspired by a pair of jeans from 1935 — the same year that the original Ooe Tailor Shop (run by Ryo's grandfather) was founded. It's a comfortable jean that goes with almost anything, a really classic shape that's not exaggerated in either direction, flatteringly relaxed without being too baggy or oversized. The denim is special, as Ooe almost never produces black jeans. Woven from 100% cotton yarns, it's a raw and unsanforized (shrink-to-fit) black & gray selvedge denim with a soft hand and a slightly hairy face texture. Produced exclusively for Ooe by a small mill in Japan, it's a low-contrast dark denim that will slowly develop fades throughout similar to an indigo denim (though these fades will be less dramatic than indigo, and will take a longer time and/or more wear to develop to a similar level). It's packed with old-school details, from the two-prong buckleback to the 100% cotton thread used throughout, with exposed copper rivets, iron suspender buttons around the waistband, and a classic five pocket configuration. The fly hides a special little embellishment, with the inner piece being cut from a dark indigo denim hidden behind the outer black/gray fabric. This funny detail is a nod to the very first pair of jeans Ooe made — having found a stash of deadstock denim hidden away in the back of an old warehouse, they pulled what they believed to be a dark indigo fabric that was by their admission very hard to distinguish from black denim. This ultimately led to the accidental blending of multiple different fabrics during production, a humorous and memorable experience that has shaped Ooe's work to this day. These are an unsanforized aka "shrink-to-fit" denim. They will come in by about 10% during the first few washes, depending on the temperature of the water and how the jeans are dried. On average, this shrinkage amounts to approximately ~2 inches in the waist and ~3 inches in the inseam. Be aware that exact post-wash measurements can vary depending on how the denim is washed and dried (temperature and method). The sizing and fit on these is notably different to previous runs of Ooe denim. While other runs of Ooe jeans are sized by their raw measurements (for example, a pair tagged as size 32 measure to 32" in the waist before a wash, and then to 30" after washing), this run is tagged by size after a wash — so a size 32 measures roughly 34" in the waist before a wash, and then 32" after washing. In short, previous runs shrink from tag size, and this run shrinks to tag size.” -
Nice looking jacket @irual, the cut suits you well.

Here is my Ground-Alls SILVER STONE "G-S506XXE Rigid 46" WW2 Model Denim Jacket which I got from Bears about a week ago. Only cold machine wash so far and probably in the future too as I don’t want to lose any length in the body and sleeves.
