i have a sorahiko in size 34, decided to size down for my nando x nando - fits like a dream!

Take5 is in my opinion the best denim shop in the world, they have the most insane selection and Benny lives denim.

All further Self Edge collaborations will be stocked at Take5, and all further Take5 collaborations will be stocked at Self Edge..

Kiya, have you been to Ueno and Shimokitazawa? I think they're the best. Ground zero for japanese denim...

the slubbiness of onis are just superb

Good pick up, Edmond. I love my pair.

And in regards to the natural indigo thing, I feel like these are kinda refuting what's been said that natural indigo fades slow because of the hank dyeing process and not the indigo properties. My 872s seem to be fading pretty quickly.

but the 872s are synthetic indigo dyed right? probably why it fades faster. it looks the same as my oni shoais but i've been having a hard time w/ fades and contrasts with them.

you're right about that but the color of these jeans.....so niiiice....yeah be patient.

I've been wearing the Edo Ai's the past 2 days after my first wash. Let's see what happens on the 2nd wash when I put a week's worth of wear. I have creases in front but lacks honey combs. The fades in the lap part made the blueish green color more green than blue...vertical streeaks are now more pronounced...These natural indigo jeans doesn't seem to be up to par with synthetic ones that fade easily. But color and qulaity-wise, they are topnotch!

What brand makes a low waist, bootcut selvedge for women and where can i buy them?

sorry, on a size 25 please. the sugarcane one is only from 29.

the whole "soak your jeans and be careful or youll lose the indigo" paranoia is plain silly. if theyre decent jeans, a hot wash (i mean in the actual wahser machine, not this caveman bathtub agitation shit) to start out with isnt going to hurt your jeans color. in fact, i really doubt most would be able to tell much difference afterwards.

I totally agree!

very very nice 386!

not really poly. difficult to wear them hard. there are fades in the lap area...

washing my shoais in one months time...

close this hate thread. edmond, so you don't like em. big deal. how many times do you have to post it here? go back to the samurai thread.

what's with the hihihis, hehehehes, and hahahahas???

no real update, better pics, better lighting. still haven't washed these in a month or so.

WOW. Very, very nice Poly. Considering you've got a lot of projects in the pipeline, you still managed to produce nice fades on your contest jeans.

nice Eternals!

Any updated pics of their purples?

Anyone else getting the S510XXAI-N? Toshiko just replied, it will be available on August 20. She still doesn't want to tell how many Samurai will be making...

what you said was just eery. i don't know what to comment!

Anyone else ordered the limitied ed. AI-N?
