1942 506xx landing at stores now, featuring a nicely faded tab.

@beautiful_FrEaK yes they made a type 2, it was several years ago now (the post I found was from 2017). I think they made it for one of their Japanese retailers Commono Reproducts (which seems like is no longer in business), not many were available. Would love if they made a traditional type 1 / 2 someday. Some more photos here: http://livininparis.com/2017/03/23/ooe-yofukuten-co/

Proper British springtime photo - grey skies, washing out on the line defying the weather, bonus dog's back end as well, unsure why I'm screwing my face up so much but there we have it. Toy's Mccoy // Denime 2nd fit: same + Cushman sweat, Altra trail runners & Yeti cap In truth it’s been a difficult day, first day of both my girls in childcare, it’s not something we ever wanted to do and the drop off was emotional. Maybe that’s why I was also screwing my face up in the first photo. Anyway, some suitably dad fits. PS the 220a’s are MEGA crispy, I did not expect that!

I was hoping for a RyoXRoy collaboration.

Something completely out of left field. Swung by the new Self Edge Austin location last weekend for their opening day and picked up a pair of Rick Owens sneakers. If you would've asked me 5 years ago if I would wear Rick Owens I probably would've laughed at you.

I have them in size W34. Measurements "Raw/after first wash in 30 degrees" are : Inseam : 84/83 cm Fr rise : 34/33 cm Back rise : 40/40 cm Thigh in crotch : 35/34 cm Knee : 29/27,5 cm Hem : 26/25 cm Inseam : 90/85 cm

I think this design is a lot more understated and not flashy at all. I used to exclusively think of Rick Owens from the goth-ninja perspective. Guys like this.

Did Ooe ever did a denim jacket? Probably yes?! I see Ryo wearing one in their latest IG posts and wondered if its their own or a vintage one (or maybe he just did it for himself)

Saw the IG post and immediately came here. I’m definitely in! That is my ideal sized up fit, so it’s really timely and I love the details

The little satchel / purse from a few years ago remains one of my all-time favorite items of any category (likely above most of my clothes and boots, even); it’s with me all the time Had to do a first round of repairs, recently. Some holes were forming around the bottom so I patched it up with some of the canvas leftover from hemming my older pair of Roy’s Foreman pants There was some really nice lighting today so I took a few photos. I love how many different colors are present in different areas of the bag from different sorts of wear (sun, abrasion, indigo crocking…)

BURGUS PLUS LOT 700

Sometimes you think that ship as sailed...and then you stumble across something on Yahoo 😅 First I didn't recognise what it was exactly. So I ignored the listing. Then I saw it again and it dawned on me that this is something unique. You can have a guess if you like 😁

I finally found an Orrizonti era WWII pair. Denim has a completely different weight and feel from 66 and XX. Curious what you know of this pair BF. Awesome details, wonky pocket shape with my dream of a shorter rise to round out a perfect-for-me 40s fit. And yes there is a bit of aging on the denim from sun and rubbing on creases.

really love the cut/fit of the 1927 type 1

Did anybody register change of color of leather patch on 220A ? After initial wash, I washed them only once, almost after 3 months in. Wash was done in standard condition... 30 degrees, long cycle, inside out. After initial wash the patch was same as new.

Bit of a change for me. Crocket and Jones Chelsea number 5 in dark roughout on a danite sole. Need to get a dark leather or rough out belt to go with them.

that's very nice of you. I'm still lurking about once a day. My life is a mess at the moment with way too much work and stress. I'm so fat that none of my old tcb jeans fit and the idea of surrender and realize I need a 38 makes me sad. I'm going to leave my job at the end of the year, move on something else more simple and get my life back. I thought I could resist with this job until I was 50, make some more good money and call it a day then. But I'm 43 now and I've been dead close to burnout for the last couple years. I may as well decide to join for the fun, as long as I like the cut. I have no time at the moment to work out details with Hajime and Ryo. Let's hope they cook up something that most will like, a Levi's based 5P model with a regular to loose fit. A copy of a specific Levi's pair they haven't covered yet from either 40s or 50s would be probably the most attractive project to stir interest in the contest. A 60's pair with a more friendly cut would be nice too. I loved it back in 2012 or whenever it was, but now I know more what I like, and that cut leaves much to be desired in terms of comfort and proportions (low rise, tight hip, tight thigh).

Haven’t posted in a bit on this thread. Rocking some Stevenson Overall salt and pepper trousers I picked up recently from the Community Sale thread. Amazing fabric, sewing, details, fit. Gonna be wearing these a lot on days I feel like wearing not-jeans! Freenote flannel / Flat Head jacket / Equus belt / Flat Head wallet / Stevenson Overall trousers / Wesco Mister Lou

Good Afternoon Long-time lurker here that just dove back into the denim game. I haven't bought a pair of denim in a few years and wanted to dive back in with japanese denim. Over the last couple years I've been slowly transitioning out of slim fit mindset and into regular straight leg pants/denim. This lead me back here to learn/relearn these brands/models etc.. I had narrowed down my choices to the Warehouse 1001xx, Denime 220a XX, and Resolute 714. After a lot of back and forth I decided on the 220 and I'm glad I did! After reading through this thread about sizing and shrinkage. I decided on the 34x36. I received my pair from Japan after about 8 days from a shop I found on Rakuten Market. I received my pair and did a 45 minutes cold water soak, then let the jeans dry and followed up with a cold wash on delicate. Some fit pics below (first 3 are raw fitting and the last are after a soak and wash). Along with measurements. 34w x 36 Raw / Soak / One Wash Waist: 17.5" / 17" / 16.75 Front Rise: 13" / 12.75" / 12.5" Back Rise: 17.75" / 17" / 16.5" Thigh: 13" / 12.75" / 12.25" Knee: 10" / 9.5" / 9.25" Leg Opening: 9" / 8.75" / 8.5" Inseam: 35" / 33" / 32" These are coming along great and the fit feels amazing. There's also some room for some shrinkage, which I assume will happen on the second wash. I'm going to wait until after the second wash to get these hemmed.

Every pair i ever had will stretch bak to raw in the waist if enough pressure is applied. Size 34 Raw Waist: 35" Front rise: 13.5" Back rise: 17.75" Thighs: 13.25" Knee: 10" Leg opening: 9" Inseam: 35.25" One-wash Waist: 34" Front rise: 13" Back rise: 16.75" Thighs: 12.9" Knee: 9.6" Leg opening: 8.75" Inseam: 33.75" Second wash Waist: 33" Front rise: 12.25" Back rise: 16.5" Thighs: 12.5" Knee: 9.25" Leg opening: 8.5" Inseam: 32.75"

My old At The Front WWII russet service shoes are holding up well after a couple years wear.

Received my pair of Russell Fishing Oxfords last week, these were done in collaboration with Stitchdown. I now understand why people say that these are some of the most comfortable shoes/boots that they own.

Why nobody wants a 80s pair? Last redline
