No the 224 66 is an indigo version but uses denim where yarns were spun on the "Ishikawadai" ring spun machine
(it's the current buzz word. Oni, SDA and other already mentioned denim made with it. I am sure it has been used several times before but marketing only picked it up now. Just like the G3 loom was communicated as something special some years ago).
Thx!
DC4 seem to have missed that tiny detail of RHT vs LHT

Edit: when looking at the pics at DC4 it's indeed a RHT they offer
A rather old pair of Hawaii in a good size. I think the seller has confused the model number but still

And some fit pics. Quite a high rise and wide leg.
And with t-shirt tucked in
I got mine from Mercari but I saw that Naoki also has some old stock of these:

The fit is defenitely better than it was in 2015. Considering I was even heavier back then makes me wonder why I squeezed into them. But I wore a lot of pairs too tight back then (in hindsight).
Waistband is still a bit tight but I am happy with the rest of the fit. Compared to my other jeans, they are of course quite "loud" with the very neppy fabric and the sashiko pattern. I reduced the double cuff to 2" so it it's smaller and less high.
I think I'll keep them
Considering past-bF had a raw pair which he (only) soaked (?), he might not be able to wear them anymore after he washed themn.
Present-bF has a one-wash pair which shouldn't shrink too much.
Yeah the length.
I hoped for a smaller double cuff for this summer look and a bigger single cuff for normal look. Maybe some more shrink is in the fabric length-wise. Hem is still an option. Not a fan of the "Tokyo Turn-up" or how they call it these days.
