  1. I managed to get a new pair of Denime XX by SHINS Inc in the summer last year in Miyazaki, Japan. Without knowing when the shop opened, I decided to get there as early as possible which was 10am, and it was open. The owner said that it opens at 11, but he came early for some reason, which was lucky for me as I didn't have time to wait around for an hour.

    A couple pictures of the shop.

    The owner had his pair of his XX's on display in the shop, which had been worn for 1 year and washed every month. I really liked the nice vintage fade that was going on. I took a quick picture of them:

    He was really nice, and knowledgeable, explained the Denime situation to me (which is basically all in this thread) and showed me the pairs he had left of the old stock. He had 1 pair of XX left and it was in my size. Even luckier.

    Needless to say I bought it. He was nice enough to throw in some free pieces of denim for patching (I had asked him if he had any spare pieces of denim I could buy) and a Denime lighter, which he said they won't be making any more of.

    He also had a custom made 10 year old Redmoon wallet which was amazing, didn't get a pic of that though unfortunately.

    Anyhow, here the jeans are now, they've got about 5 months of wear or so. initial soak, a couple tropical downpour soaks and another soak, no wash yet.

    If you're ever in the area, give the shop a visit. It's a nice shop inside and out and the owner's a cool guy. I'm not sure if he speaks english though. Here's the shop's website for reference http://www.bengalac.com

    Will post updates and fit pics later on.

  2. Gained some holiday weight myself but quickly lost it with the flu.

    I'm surprised they're still here as well, lots of inquiries but no trigger pulling. No worries, these might still be here when that weight settles

    Will try harder to sell these pairs in a while though. In the meantime, BUMP

  3. I apologize for the shameless plug, selling a pair of new size 33 Eternal 883s(one wash version) for $230(USD) shipped worldwide, really wish I could keep them, but need the money. Link is in sig
