  1. Ah, good point. Thanks for the quick reply.

    Those sizes match the Momotaro/Japan Blue site (well, minus the fact that they don't go down to size 28, but I'll assume the 2+ oversize is consistent throughout). Lets hope they didn't just copy it directly and did some actual measurements...

  2. Hey guys,

    I'm lookin' at these Momotaro GTWP0603S jeans (14.7 oz, low rise, slight bootcut)...

    http://www.japanblue.co.jp/denimhouse/item/102.html

    The sizing looks completely odd. A size 28 is measured at 30.3 inches according to the site, but if you look through Yahoo auctions and Rakuten, everyone says it's either true to size or SMALLER! Any ideas? They're all sold as one-wash, so there shouldn't be that much shrinking...

    Here's a Yahoo auction, saying a 36 measures as an 89 cm waist (which is 35.0 inches), but the other measurements like hem, thigh, etc are actually listed near or larger than what's officially listed on the Japan Blue site.

  3. Sellin' my RB15-5147's. Worn around the house for 2-3 days, but they're just too tight on my thunderthighs. Purchased from a local store (Moda Pittsburgh). Have original tags and receipt.

    I'll have pictures soon, but measurements are as follows (following BiG measurement methods):

    14.5" waist (aligned)

    10.25" front rise

    14.25" back rise

    2" dip

    10.25" thigh opening

    7.75" knee opening

    7.5" leg opening

    29" inseam

    $120 shipped.

    I have pretty big thighs (21-22" measured), which is why I can't really fit these so much.

  4. I have husky legs, and I don't enjoy nuthugging tightness, but I do want some "ass definition" instead of just a whole backpocket full of air.

    I tried on a bunch of jeans today (in Pittsburgh, there's really only one boutique, but carry mostly bootcuts), and I liked the fit of the Diesel Vikers. Low rise, straight leg, slim fit "comfort leg" as they call it. I have a pair of Nudie Bootcut Olas, which promised to be a slim fit, but they were too big in the ass and I stretched the thighs to where I finally fit now. So it was slim, but slim in the wrong places. I have a pair of Earnest Sewn Hutch's as well (actually 2 pairs), and it's almost the same issue as the Nudies, too tight in the thigh, and too loose in the ass.

    Haven't been able to try on any APC's or Acne's anything, and most of the Japanese stuff available in Pittsburgh is pretty high rise, which I don't like.

    Any suggestions before I head down to DC?

  5. Dude, you live in the LA basin. As long as you're in the county, it's not a road trip, it's part of living in LA. Go to West Hollywood. Arena/Circus was my favorite (at least when Spundae used to hold events there), followed by Vanguard. Avalon is too crowded and glitzy for my taste.

  6. Alright, I've got 14 pairs of jeans, I've gotta get rid of some that don't fit me well (plus it'll give me more time to wear in my dry jeans). We got 4 pairs up for sale here (bottom 4 pairs here). The color reproduction on the camera is pretty accurate (it's a Nikon D70 SLR), and the cluster of jeans should give you a good idea of how the colors compare.

    I'm new here, but I have 100% feedback on eBay.

    Diesel Zathan is labeled 31 waist, measures:

    16" waist

    9" front rise

    2" dip

    10" thigh opening

    8.5" knee opening

    These were slightly long on me, so the hems took a beating in the process as you can see in the pics. Rest of the jeans are fine though. Slight bootcut to them.
