arent both of those outseam shots...?

Momo2 Collabs def have a pink inseams:

agreed, those are beautiful. I can only hope that same denim will be used on some upcoming models.

admittedly shameless plug. Please buy my unworn Japan Heritage Weird Guys (size 31) in my signature. really need $.

bump......

I heard that tossed around too, but if you receive their email updates you know that Blue Owl is definitely offering them (though via email only, won't be listed on the site).

^thanks, have fun beating them up. (bump)

Yeah, just because theyre selvedge doesn't necessarily mean they show the selvege outseam. correct or am I mistaken? Dope jeans regardless

blue/blue warp&weft looks pretty cool. Not sure how I feel about the contrast stitching though, and from the looks of it, they don't retain the selvedge line?

^yeah, OnixNFs are pretty steep price wise, but they definitely look like a nice jean. Oni's attention to detail is a bit more precise than N&Fs, at least when it comes to construction.

I got a sized 1 down pair of Japan Heritage weird guys (30) than my original attempt, a size 31. Theyre stil stiff and snug right now but I think they'll stretch out to be pretty perfect

and to take my old pair off my hands, check my signature, please

to the top1234

are they all that slubby? My initial reaction is to compare them to PBJXX-007s, which look farrr slubbier than those...maybe its just the lighting?

I can't speak specifically for that model, but I know most PBJ denim has a fair amount of stretch when its raw, so one washed would have even more stretch. That all being said, I could be mistaken.

^not samurai, according to Jay. just the same formula...uneven thread size, loose tension, short slub cotton = very similar to samurai.

black Sammies added! Need money my friends, please buy.

fucked up the sizing on some naked and famous japan heritages. Listed and now accepting offers.

no, they were all quite easy to button up. That being said, I'm still very up in the air on the fit, if anyone is interested I'll sell these for 180$ shipped (in US), I think theyre just too big for me:( Excitement got the best of me with soaking these. Great jeans though.

^yup, thanks for the advice, i knew the WG ran about 2" big, I'm around a 33" true waist size, so I guess you could say I sized down 2 or went tts, I dont know (been on the APC thread too much, all the sizing questions on there makes me want to shoot myself in the head), but either way theyre pretty damn forgiving. I updated my post after you posted but they fit much better after a soak.

Oh and a word on the service from Blue Owl. I ordered them on Wednesday in the late afternoon, got an email from Jay that day with a tracking number, and they were at my door on Friday, triple packed in USPS envelopes and plastic wrap. Best service from an online jeans retailer Ive had yet (worked with BiG, Denim Bar and Cultzm). Thanks Jay.

^meant your pictures were big.

But to make this post worthwhile, heres a full review of the Japan Heritages. Whenever I see someone post how they just received their jeans I'm always yearning for a review so as not to be a hypocrite...

Jeans were fitting pretty awkwardly when I first got them, kinda big and flat (seemed wide from the front, but slim from the profile), and knowing these are a vintage style denim, I thought a hot soak would do them good. So i soaked em last night, tried them on while damp and then let them dry fully throughout the night. This morning I was super surprised to find they became SUPER crunchy during the night. Let me put it this way, they can stand up on their own:

and when held horizontally they didn't lose structure either:

The entire jean shrunk up a bit, most noticeable in the calf/leg opening area as well as the inseam. But on to the actual review, I apologize it was via an iphone so not all the pictures are great. But this denim is absolutely superb, super slubby and crisp, but without being overtly slubby (as I find is find of the case on PBJs)

Very irregular wobbly selvege line, and that awesome looking weft...

mmm, more macro

And heres a quick pic of them on.

Digging them a lot, props to N&F, hadn't picked up a pair of their jeans in about 3 years, and this was a good way to get back into the brand.

woah, reisze!

^wow, looking really nice.

I got my Japan Heritage Weird Guys (31) in the mail from BO today, and I'm not sure about the fit. Its definitely the roomiest jean I've had in a while (working on a pair of APC PS size 30). I was going for a bit more of a straightleg fit, but now that I'm looking at it, I'm having size-down-second-guesses. I was more aiming for the fit of the official Japan Heritage Weird Guys that N&F put out: (http://w2.blueowl.us/carello/images/7991900.11b.JPG)

Think I should size down or grab em in skinny guy instead? (Never thought I'd be contemplating N&Fs in the same size as APCs) I'm 6'3" and 170lbs

In Russell 7" tall boots:

And for reference, this is how my day 1 APCs fit....pretty different.http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showpost.php?p=2638634&postcount=8466

Excuse the shitty ass photobooth pics...just got a mac and lo and behold it takes absolutely horrible self-pictures too!

edit: hmm but my iphone can take pretty good macros...?

bump. If anyone is looking for some tailor-tapered Samurai 5000bk, size 29, let me know. bit of wear on them but still probably 90% life still left in em.
