Bill.....those look awesome....hard to believe those two started out as the same jean......very natural fades.....

I had a question about the 872's.......do they have that reverse vanity size thing going on like the rest of the eternals??.......I am a 33.....and i was wonderng if i should get a 34......they have one left at blue in green.....or would they be baggy as all hell....thanks guys....

hmmm.....pics seem to be working for me......but here is the webiste i grabbed them at

In honor of "There will be blood"'s 8 oscar nods....here is some early California oil work wear....

Dude........on the fifth wear of my GS selvedges, the f'ing top button like self destructed......they aren't even fitted tight......In my last 15 pairs of jeans I have never had this happen.....whats that all about??......anyone having this same issue??

hopefully the ghetto ass repair job i did will work, but I was pretty bummed out about it.....

Just wanted to say thanks to Aiden and Chris for sending me out some replacement buttons super quick.....now i just need to put some wear on them so we can get some evo pics......

Good Society makes a natural Indigo jean as well........they are selvedge and only 98 bucks......!!!

I have a pair and they have been pretty good to me so far......

I thought so too.....I thought maybe my roomate was sick of all my jeans laying around and decided to take matter into his own hands.....

So here it is......my Chinese © vs Japanese (J) KMW comparison....both jeans are semi-new (about 1 month on each)

First thing to point out is the denim itself......the C denim is much slicker, with almost a shiny deep hue....the J denim is much slubbier, and has a ton of cotton hairs sticking out.....the J denim almost feels a bit thicker, and has a more true blue hue (most likely due to the pure vs synthetic indigo)....

As for details.....the C jeans do not have hidden rivets, whereas the J jeans do....The J jeans also have nicer stitching throughout. They both have the hit or miss exposed selvedge on the coin pocket....I do however prefer the copper rivets found on the C jeans over the silver ones on the J. I also prefer the copper anodized crotch buttons on the C over the silver J. Both jeans have a chain stitched hem, which is nice...The J jeans also have a nice leather path on the back, which is absent from the C jeans...

When hot soaking, the C jeans lost a ton of starch, where i saw hardly any loss from the J jean. the picture below shows the soak of the C jeans......forgot to snap one of the J jeans.....

overall they are both nice jeans, but I think I prefer the J over the C.....however since you can find the C jeans online now for 100 or so, I think they are a steal at this price......I will check back in after a few months for some fading updates on the two....

those look pretty nice......any other details??

hidden rivets??

lined pockets??

I got my 1950's for that price too.......for that amount, it is a damn good deal....they may not be 100% Japanese made, but i feel like the denim could stop bullets.......

I just picked up some 2010's........these are WAY different than my Chinese made 1950's......will post a photo comparison when I get some time.......there are definitely some pros and cons to both pairs......but they are both sweet ass jeans......

has anyone seen these yet??.....what is the difference between these and the ones that are $500??

what the rise on these??......maybe they will fit....

are the SC's gone??

free bump for those amazing SC's........too bad they are a tad small for me...

sweet sweet stomach bile fades.......

The jeans on the left look awesome......the empty patch and the arc make for a simple and sleek design........hopefully I can snag a pair of these......the sample size is like perfect for me......

looks good.....I dig the back pocket stitching.......

those are nice.....I have been wearing my james IV selvedge for like 2 months now, and they dont show any wear at all.......

You're right. It has to be the synthetic indigo as opposed to the natural indigo. I experienced quite a bit of color loss although the jeans themselves don't look too much different based off of photographs.

I guess the natural indigo likes to stick around a little more........

my GS selvedges finished up drip drying today, and they hardly shrank at all......maybe 1" in the hem and 0.5" or so in the waist......I was surprised yet again......

pics of PBJ's??

waist measurement??....is it consistent with BIG??

For anyone interested:

I just soaked my Good Society straight legs in warm water for about 2 hours. They shrunk around 1 size in the waist and about an inch in the inseam like ilovespaz said. There was definite indigo loss and the sheen of the jean definitely soaked off, but all in all minimal change. I had worn them for about 3 weeks before I couldn't stand the huge waist anymore. I expect them to stretch out in waist again, but hopefully not.

So after reading this, I decided to soak my size 31 selvedge straights.....about 3 hours in the tub with pretty hot water.......I didn't see any indigo loss, just lots of brown from the startch......I was surprised.......there were a few blue drops after hanging them up....I am going to try them on tomorrow after work to see if they shrank up at all.....

I wonder if the differnce in indigo loss is due to the synthetic vs the natural indigo??

these still around?

just saw these on ebay......not my size......=(
