I just measured up sizes 1-4 in the 107 and 105 one wash that we got in.

I used the BIG method and all measurements are approximate. 

What the measurements don't show but looking pictures of the two cuts will. Is that the 105 is a fuller leg past the knee, whilst the 107 is a tapered leg.

Also its worth noting that the inseam does seem to get longer in size 3 and up. 

Hope this is helpful for everyone. 

Americaya ?

Its where i got my first pair of Sams back in 08.

Must thave tried on ten pairs. the sales assiant was very patient with me ha ha

Sydney is not far behind Blue Works, Great Southern Denim, New Vintage, Corlection.

Maple has a decent selection.

There is also Denham. Not into their denim, but the staff are friendly and they can do chainstiching for you.

Nice fade on those jeans

Totally got me crawling the net on vintage pairs to see if this is a thing...Curious indeed!

Can't see that its a different waistband on the TCB website pictures. 

Its a curious addition for sure !

Sorry to hear about that BF.

I have had no experience with the 505s so not sure what is going on with their sizing.

Pretty sure that the one wash is the only version available for the seamans pants 

Its worth noting that the inseam does get gradualy longer with the larger sizes

i think i'm gonna grab some 107s. two quick questions:

 

1. if i'm a 31 in most regular trousers, 31 in sam 701s and a 32 in eternal and momotaro (momos are prob a hair too small though), would a sz 2 or 3 be best? i keep getting conflicting advice. the majority of places seem to say a sz 3 = 32 for the 107.

 

2. is the inseam gonna be too short at 6'1? i always cuff x2 or x3 (if a wider leg).

There is a bunch of conflicting meausrements out there and to be honest the Orslow size chart is a little confusing for retailers as it starts at size 1 which is 30" and then the  Size 4 at 35" and Size 5 at 37" don't really fit into a standard size breakdown. I see a lot of places start their size charts at 1=28" and so on. I think its more an effort of trying not to confuse customers than anything else.

Again not having any pairs here to measure i can't tell you exact measurements and not knowing what you look like. Its hard to reccomend a size. But going on the Orslow size guide then a size 2 would be the best bet.

From memory the inseam is shorter than most other jeans running around 31".

Hope that helps. 

thx for the info. any ideas how the waist is measured? thx

Not sure how they actually measure them sorry. 

We haven't got our deilvery for this season yet. But once we do I'll post up actual measurements.

As far as I know they dont make a size 6. 

Good looks. Orslow is a great brand. Love the nappy denim feel of the one wash 105 and 107. Its a great light weight denim and just easy to wear.

Size 2 is actually meant to be a  32" for their 105 and 107 cuts.

Size 1 = 30"

Size 2 = 32"

Size 3 = 34"

Size 4 = 35"

Size 5 = 37"

I prefer the 105 cut which is more roomier than the 107

I still haven't written TCB off, as there's plenty of evidence of great, worn-in garments.. but something's amiss, at least here in Sydney.  Neither store has seen much movement on their TCB stock, and it's discounted in both — so it seems unlikely they'll be ordering again.  I'd say now would be a great time to order from overseas (with the $AUD at US 75c or so), but the tagged size seems only tangentially related to the actual dimensions.  I'm sure either place would be happy to measure up an individual pair, though, if you know exactly what works for you in TCB-land!

Hey Mondo next time you are in the store, say hi and we can talk more about denim related topics. Im glad you came in and where able to try on the 33s. Im sorry that you decided that they where not for you.

TCB actually sells well for us. The Super Slim Orange Tab, 50s jacket and Choreman are all popular. The 60s which are currently on sale are not as popular but I would say that has more to do with the cut and Sydney being in love with slim tapered pants than any deficiency in sizing on TCB's part. 

Enjoy your day

Have to agree with the above.

Having had dealings with Inoue on a buisness level. He has never been more than a gentleman and is a genuinely nice guy.

He works extremley hard running a brand and goes out of his way to correspond personally with all his customers. Something you wouldn't find with many other brands. 

Im sorry to hear that you had a bad experience Mrman but you are the exception rather than the rule. 

My two cents. Those IG pics look awful. The slim cut does not appeal to me at all.

As a brand you can't talk about how much knowledge and experience you have as denim makers and then not name said denim makers. I know its a marketing gimmick. But it just turns me off. 

Good to see Marty from GodSpeed rocking the regular cut with some style. 

I have a RC zip up hoody that is pushing ten years old and still going strong !

These are my ST shadow 120x after about 5 months of wear.

Really loving how the patch has turned out. 

Truth.

The waist stretches out easier than the hips/thighs, but mine are starting to come along. I'm about 10 days in.

This denim is super tough & the cut can be really snug/stubborn, especially if sized down (I have 32" waist and sized down to 31).

Not comfy when breaking in/stretching but damn do they look good.

Really ? i had no stretch in the thighs on my 18oz 666s.

I sized down from a 30" to 29" as i heard that they gave.

yeah he's doing a one off run of the  duck cloth jacket.

Not 100% but pretty sure it won't have the leather patch.

UNDFTD was good last time i checked them out but that was a few years ago.

Record shops:

1) Jet Set

2) Disk Union

3) Jazzy Sports

4) Escalator (Now called Big Love?

5) Manhattan

6) Bootstreet

7) Waltz

Jetset is the best place for the underground techno/house sounds. You are not going to find much of that sound in Jazzy Sport or Manhatten records. Also the disk union shibuya has a great selection of sale techno/house.

beer in japan sucks compared to america and decent craft beer is a lot more expensive than usa. craft heads is a decent craft beer bar in shibuya. there are some micro brew bars i went to but cant remember the name. beer wasnt worth the price.

Really what don't you like about Japanese beers ? Are you just talking craft/micro brews or do you prefer Bud over say Ebisu ?

Nah seconded you don't want to do a day trip to Osaka. You'd spend most of your time on the  shinkasen. 

Congrats on getting married homie !

Yeah I was just there. Super bummed that BIG had no RM stock.

There was one lone pair of Joe Mcoys in a 36" !

Oh well. Guess I'll wait until next time Im in Japan.

BIG is a really cool store though.

Just watched attack on titan's first season. It was okay. The live action film looks terrible though.

Starting Assassination Classroom.
