I was lucky enough to grab 2 of the Ooe type 2 and they’re amazing! I can post pics here this weekend.

The ones posted by @Broark or did they offer some during LA Inspiration?

DC4 is celebrating their 20th anniversary this year. They will celebrate on June 29th.
Anybody is planning to come?

Saw them on IG.

You bought it?

Yeah I guess a lot of people would kill for an Ooe jacket. I was just curious seeing a jacket on Ryo.

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)

@vIGGiou riou doh! Totally forgot the pic you posted...

@vIGGiou riou did your 101 arrive in the meantime?!

Are they Orizzonti or Shins?

Depends on the fit you want.
Ooe usually measures a touch below tag size raw (of course this also depends on how you measure) and shrinks from there (quite a lot).
Of course it will stretch back out a good amount.

Other brands (like FW) is bigger than the tagged waist and shrinks to the tagged size (or slightly below)

Let me preface the following 3 comparison-posts with the general statement "in terms of details the 3 eras of 66XX do not differ very much".
I will add additional pics over the next weeks.

Apart from the obvious different details, the 801 uses rope dyed denim (cheaper)

The D01 is hank dyed.

Are you going to clean rivets with something like salt/vinegar paste?

Works like a charm!

Depends on your country but since you wrote € you are in the EU.
Everything you buy in Japan is without VAT but you have to pay that when you import it. And the above 150€ value you also have to pay customs fees which are 12% on top (IIRC).
So for Germany, as an example, you would add 31% (19%+12%) when importing.
