Nope, not at all. They just wrote about an "uncle" that had these stored away. On first sight I just thought "another 66XX in deadstock condition, oh well". Then, on the second sight I noticed the leather patch looking off...and of course a L36 is not on the 66XX. Then the V-stitch and I knew they are the 15th anniversary.

My job here is done. 100% correct! Apart from the oxidized rivets, yes ☺️ In Denime's 60s pairs I prefer a W36. My 66XXs are W36 as well. And these are a BigE model, so 60s.

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 😁

Great pick up @Graytrain! The sun fades just add to the character. There are floating w30 and w31 around on Yahoo but not many in a good condition (although I think there's a W31 one-wash for 50k available right now...) As you probably know, there is not much info around. The denim is different to the XX and 66 denim. It is lighter, I think 13.5oz or so. And it will fade more into a lighter blue. Not as white/grey like Denime usually does. Edit: it was a W30. Here it is https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/auction/yahoo/input/b1132290997/

That's a serious wide fit in the legs

I only measured the waist and inseam. Waist didn't really change and inseam only 1". So I definitely expect them to shrink a good amount more with a real wash

Did you buy the last W34 he had? I know it says sanforized but I doubt it is. Naoki said he wore this pair twice already and if he says its unsanforized, it definitely is. Because of this I only cold soaked my pair as I am quite fat ATM. Gonna wash later when I lost some weight again.

My patch didn't change much. It got more dull but not as brown. I dig your patch though

I would have told you the same: with WH it arrives when it arrives. Was with every release so far. And the answer is always: Both!

Nice pic (and purchase). Sugar Cane claimed that this second restock was the final one so you are probably right.

Fun fact, Martin Sheen's left arm was broken at his birth, causing less mobility in his arm and thus forced him to put on jackets in a certain way.

This one?

You wouldn't be the first to do a similar thing: https://fromsqualortoballer.com/product-review-orslow-107-jeans/

There are repros where it is done on purpose, e.g. the Sugar Cane 1946 or also TCB's 40s model. Could be the case here as well. Could also just be the normal human error (especially when we talk about 1/4")

Place holder Denime history

We didn't have a dedicated thread yet, just some info in the "Unknown Japanese Brands" thread. Official Homepage http://www.jelado.co.jp/ And the website for the online shop: https://www.jelado.com/ Jelado offers a wide range of Americana stuff.

Encouraged by Edmond and out of interest I decided to make this thread. An attempt to give a comprehensive list of available (or not available anymore) repros, designed after a Levi's '50s cut. Also a place to compare these models concerning: cut denim fit measurements details "air" a small, yet imperfect list first of all the LVCs to which we refer to LVC 1955 LVC Japan 1955 1953 1950 503B Denime XX type 1951 Evisu 2001 Fob Factory F098 Fullcount 1105 0105C Joe McCoy 905 Ooe Yofukuten 01 cut Pherrows 521 421 Real McCoy 001 613 Samurai S0510 Skul 5000XX Studio d'Artisan 001/101 SugarCane 1955 (Okinawa) (Hawaii) The FlatHead 3005 1005 F350 Warehouse (1001X) (1000X ) Warren Please feel free to add some more, share your pictures and experience.
