Yeah. Just following up what you were saying about the yen

^Just off the top of my head though, aren't the raws also 38 inch inseam? The dollar is weaker as well...increased pricing all around...

They are 39 and they shrink to 36 which is same as o/w

I believe the price was increased because the raw stock was the last stock to be refreshed and it seems like every time he gets new stock in he increases the prices a bit. (Evidenced by Warehouse and Eternal, probably others)

Hmm... No.

Take another look at Ryu's pair and tell me if there's no contrast.

Compared to flathead with no washes for a year.

You can't tell me there is no difference

i never understood the whole sugar cane raw vs one wash thing....

if u buy sugar cane raws....u have to soak them right? thus making them one wash. sooo like other than to aid in sizing whats the difference?

The one wash from SC is really harsh and makes the denim really soft.

You won't get very contrasting fades.

well i'll be bumping this 1 year from now.

love the fit of mine

Sizing:

As far as the sizing on the Momotaro 0701 our size chart is accurate if

following our measuring guide, each pair will measure differently so there

is always a chance they'll measure slightly smaller or bigger than posted

measurements. If you're a size 32 in the Skull Black 5010 size 32 then you

may consider the same size 32 in the Momotaro 0701.

I just received my pair and they measured 32" although they were really stiff so it was hard to see anything but 15.5" until I used my three hands to align the waist band and measure.

That is what I was expecting from the Context Clothing measurements so I'm good to go. They are soaking right now. The denim is a bit slubbier than I would have expected from pictures and they are extremely stiff from starch. My hands are a bit sticky from touching the water from the soak.

They fit snug on the waist pre soak. The denim is somewhat sanforized and only shrinks 1" in the waist at max. I put a board in the waist for the soak to minimize shrinking in that area. I was concerned they would be too tight in the thighs for what I was going for if they fit on the waist but I think I lucked out and after a soak they should be perfect.

I'd bet the water is around 55-60 C.

Damn these jeans ended up fitting very well, i almost wish we could make this fit a permanent style...

I came in and tried these on and even though they weren't the style I was looking for I found them to be very flattering.

I think those pics show the most good wear yet, thanks for posting them up!

I ran into people saying this when frequent crotch blowouts were happening in the warehouse contest. I didnt buy it. I especially didn't buy it when people posted pictures that showed how little fabric was attached in the inseam.

That's an issue with construction unfortunately and it turned me away from the brand.

Sure - a jean may not be meant to be worn tight. But at the same time if it can't hold up to being worn tight and another can, wouldn't you choose that jean no matter how tight you end up wearing them?

Damn. Not used to seeing this hue on jeans. That's pretty crazy. And you can tell it took a long ass time, and a beating to get it to fade like that. Damn. And it's still darker than most jeans. Damn. I really want a pair.

I'm not sure. It can't be too long. The pocket thread and crotch are 100% intact.

or if it is super long...

or they fixed it all before posting pictures

I just ordered a pair from BiG. I really wish they'd step up and model their jeans. These pictures are from momotaro's website

0701

I want something slim straight non-slubby, light weight 10-12oz with all the repro details and construction qualities for summer. (in other words, APC NS with japanese details)

any suggestions?

I second the sc42009

You can get them raw from mil-mil.net for ~$180ish

Looking for a new pair of jeans:

-Felled inseam

-Poly/Cotton-Poly Thread

-Straight Slim Cut

-Nice texture on the denim

Any suggestions?

Can you please post some more fit pics technique?

I saw your first ones but I just want to see how things settled out.

I'm not saying the coating wouldn't be destroyed in a wash. Just the quality of the denim was poor so that after the coating wore off it was apparent.

How would you rate the denim?

2% stretch coated jean.

My last jean like this was the nudie grey coated. When I ended up having to wash them they were the ugliest pieces of crap ever. The vertical plastic was very apparent. Any comment on that effect in this jean?

Those look good gang!

whats with all the lazyness........

There's not more than 3-4 examples of 6month+ wear to Ironheart 301s.

Denim fits quite different at raw no wear vs 6 month and I was asking people to snap some (new) shots for me.

Can anyone snap some wear and fit pics of the 301s at 6 months or more?

They just need to soften up below the knee and then they'll fall right. You can probably accelerate the process a bit.

Cool, I'll have to search around for the plant when I"m up in Colorado this summer. I"m pretty sure its pervasive as hell up there and I could probably get paid $25/hr to pull it by some rich home owners

What is the dying process? What do you do with the powder?

It measures out to be about 1 1/4"

Is that the size you ordered?

What width is your belt?
