  1. JUST bought these off not too tight and realized they are way too big. My bad! They're one-wash (I think he soaked them once, too). Looking to get $120 shipped within the US (slightly more for international, depending on where you are) since that's what I payed.

    They're very beautiful, authentic, Made in the USA, etc., but I'm too small!

    I'm using his pics and measurements, since I just got the package, tried them on, and realized they were not the right size.

    Measurements -

    W - 15.75"

    FR - 11.5"

    BR - 15.75

    UT - 12"

    K - 8.5"

    LO - 7.75"

    I - 30.5"

  2. This looks fantastic. love what you are doing, gun.

    I'm working on a couple of pairs at the moment, but after that, I am sorely, sorely tempted by a pair of Straight Fit in #1 denim with custom arcs, red tab, wreath/union buttons, and a slight taper. That's like my perfect jean right there.

  3. Really psyched to see these new Kuroki Tellasons. Are they in shops (i e Unionmade) already?

    I should get some pics up of my JGMs - the crotch has been massively reconstructed by the Self Edge guys, and they are looking pretty nice for about 8-9 months wear. The non-crocking Cone denim has become really interesting - weird "non-blue color", very yellow-y fades, and tons of vertical action.

    I'll get some pics when SF weather decides to stop being a bitch.

  4. The only time I ever noticed a smokey smell on my Tellasons was when I drank too much scotch while camping and got acquainted with the firepit...

    But I also don't smell my pants too frequently, so maybe they did smell special at first. Right now they probably just smell like month-and-a-half-old grundle.

    They are going on 6.5 months, 5 washes, though, so i will get some pictures up soon. I clumsily repaired my wallet hole with some cotton duck I got from ROY Slaper, and overall, I'm really happy with the very unique qualities of these Mellors.

    Once they start to get really fuxxxed I'll start to rotate in my Momotaros.

  5. Those are the non-crocking cone denim right? Same as on the current lineup and the same going into all the stuff for Fall.

    I think this denim is really interesting. It fades in such a subtle way. Its hard to photograph. Mine are fading the same way.

    Did you hem those?

    Yes.

    I agree, it's very hard to photograph. I'm very interested to see the bags made of it.

    Yes, I had them hemmed, because I am a short motherfucker. Too cheap to go for a chainstich hem, too, because I figured they were sanfordized anyway.

    I do love this cut, though. I'm vaguely contemplating taking the Momos to a tailor to have them heavily modified to be closer to this cut, the way Leonard Leroy did with his denimes.

  6. Here are my Mellors, 5 months, 5 washes. One more wash than I would have liked, but a Situation made washing Quite Necessary.

    Imageshack seems to have made some interesting choices in terms of image rotation/orientation, so I apologize. the color is also kind of weird - the contrast between warp and weft (like in the last shot) seems exaggerated, while the contrast on the thighs and the butt seems understated compared to reality. Oh well...

    As you can see, this is a pretty interesting denim, compared to most Japanese or American denimhead jeans. Very lightweight (11.75 oz), very crosshatched (with TONS of falling), and very strangely colored. Though the weft is not a particularly unusual color, the fades (thigh especially) are a very green/yellow color.

    I'm sort of confused by the weird/lack of whiskers on these, but I blame the INCREDIBLY low front rise. This was the last model before they upped the front rise almost an inch.

    I'll get better pics up for 6 months.

  7. Yeah, that last post was definitely made in haste. It's really no big deal, and the holes forming are actually covered by the existing patches, just not stitched-over yet.

    Sometimes I speak/post without thinking...

  8. Fantastic stuff, aho. +repped. Wish I had seen this tour when it was being organized, those jeans are my size and look great.

    Let me know if you guys ever need a ringer, or a San Francisco tour member! :P

  9. "The color reminds me of XX-007."

    That, and/or the SExIH07BK. I'd be pretty interested, except for the fact that I JUST bought a pair of regular 0701s.

    Vaguely contemplating getting them tapered. Thoughts?
