Yeah, it is strange. Maybe the guys in the factory made a mistake. As far as I know, they don't do different inseams for the export market. 

I just measured our orSlow drop. The size 3 107 inseam clocks in at exactly 30.75" 

There are a bunch check the store directory here

http://orslow.jp/store/

If you check back in the thread you will find that it's just a generic label that Levis attached to cover a range of products where some of the materials used in the construction are imported. In this case, they are not talking about the cone denim. 

They are meant to be 30.75" according to orSlow's size chart.

Size 4 & 5 are meant to be a 33" inseam.

Perhaps orSlow has fielded requests to make the inseams longer on the sizes 3s.

I will measure our new delivery when it arrives later this week and report back.

My experience with the 66s was that although they are larger in most measurements compared to the 76s. The actual waist was slightly smaller than the same size in the 76s. So i could wear 30" in the 76, but then the 30" in the 66 was too tight in the waist. I should have copped a 31" to make them work for me. So personally I could not advise sizing down in the 66s.

Moonstar stuff is really well made. Unfortunately, as with most things made in Japan, it attracts a higher price point. 

I had a pair of cons 70s which lasted three months before the canvas toe box split from the rubber. My pair of Doeks made at Moonstar lasted a year of almost daily wear, before I wore through the sole.

The denim seems slow to fade. This is around five months worth of wear and two washes, one soak.

I don't see how raw would work based on their gritty texture of denim, particularly dirt denim.  But I'd be interested to see this.  I haven't been in the store but I believe someone here has.  Most of all the retailers I've seen carry them have one wash styles just like their webshop.

Yeah you are right. I thought No Kipple used to have a raw and one wash variety. After checking Trophy's page it seems they only come in one wash.

Some brands only do one wash anyway, like Trophy Denim, so if you're into a brand like that then you're not left with much of a choice.

I thought Trophy sold raw in their store in Tokyo. Maybe I'm misinformed. 

@mandel9000 The boots and jeans look great together. 

I would say that yes the waist would fit the same. 

Sorry I've never heard of the circle brand. Maybe some other users can help you out.

Without knowing the denim I would say wash on the hottest setting and stick them in the dryer. 

It depends on the denim and brand, whether is sanforised or not. You need to list some examples to get a definitive answer.

I think the argument regarding organic vs non-organic cotton is mainly around how much better it is for the environment in terms of chemical use for example, rather than an actual better performance or quality of the actual threads.

So guys, if I'm a size 2 in the regular fatigues, do I go for the same size in the 105 jeans?

If you fit a size 2 in the fatigues a size 2 in the 105s should work for you. If anything the 105s are a touch roomier in the waist than the fatigues. 

So the consensus is that there is not a Wrangler repro line akin to LVC outside of Japan? 

IMO Converse totally fucked the sizing of the One Star. The US size is now the same as the UK size ie a US 8 which used to be a UK 7 is now a UK 8. So what this means is that the 8 is way too small for me and the 9 is far too large.

For reference, I'm a US8 in Cons 70s.

Try searching the thread, the answers you seek are all there. 

Anyone interested in a pair of 3 month old 31" St 120x Shadow Selvedge?

I put on some weight and can no longer fit them. Happy to do them for cheap for sufu members.

I love orSlow, but when they try and update their collection with more modern pieces they sometimes miss their mark. 

Depends on what price point and style you are after. If you want premium quality you can't go past Native Sons or Effector for a made in Japan frame.

Broadway and Sons are selling great aviators made by the original company that used to supply the US Air Force. 

There are plenty of options out there.

It does seem like an overreaction on Fullcounts part. I meant the arcs in question were limited to the 50 or so odd pairs of the contest jeans. Plus I find it doubtful that you could claim that someone seeing them would think that it was a fullcount pair. They could have just done a cease and desist. Burning all the product just seems to be mean-spirited.  

The whole thing reminds me of supreme going after another brand because they used they same Barbara Kruger typeface that supreme jacked in the first place.

I sell 3sixteen at work and have never had a pair split like that. 

I would also not advise anyone to size down on the ST cut. True to size for a slim fit or even size up one on the waist if the thighs and rise are too tight. typically you get .5" stretch on that fabric after around 30 wears. However not enough, in my opinion, to size down. If you are a true 32" I'm actually amazed that you managed to fit into a 31" 

To be fair to 3sixteen, it sounds like you wear given a pair of jeans that were too tight for you. Even well-constructed jeans will split if the fabric is under constant pressure. 

Iron Heart ones seem to be pretty popular. They actually own their own machines if I'm not mistaken?
