@81FXR nice looking jeans

It was a light hearted remark. IIRC didn't N&F really push the secluded denim master story when they bought out an Oni collab? They did something similar with Kamikaze Attack as well

Similar, still with links to information management, secure data etc.

Agreed, the initial marketing put a lot of us denim snobs experts off. I've had 2 or 3 pairs in the past, I prefer a slimmer fit but the fabrics were a bit to much for me.. I think the level of slub just made the fades weird. The 14oz fabric was crap, paper thin. 16 oz was better and 20 oz secret is OK... until it fades. Their over dyed black (Azumi?) was quite nice. PBJ are well ahead for fabric.

I got made redundant about 6 months ago after 20+ years at the same company (I've got a new job, start next week) and the downtime between roles has been great! I had to make a rule of no PlayStation till after 2pm though or I'd still be in my dressing gown playing games on the sofa when the wife got in from work!

Yeah pretty much what I said. I have black and a pale veg tan (now aged but still lighter) so a mid darker shade for when wearing darker brown shoes.

I need a darker belt generally to sit between my black and veg tanned ones so don't need a perfect match just one I can match closer to my roughout, paraboot and sanders.

If you can find the raw measurements they will give you the amount it will stretch back out in the waist. If the thigh and rise mm's work for you it sounds like you will be OK but I haven't experienced the 25oz denim personally.

Bit of a change for me. Crocket and Jones Chelsea number 5 in dark roughout on a danite sole. Need to get a dark leather or rough out belt to go with them.

I'd cop them instantly if they weren't a 26 inch inseam! (I've emailed the seller hoping it's a typo!)

Dare I click it....

I wash inside out out of habit more than anything. IIRC Hayashi San suggests washing without turning inside out to highlight puckering/abrasion on seams and pocket opening etc?

I came across one the other day and the product images were lifted straight off self edge!

@yung_flynn given your tall frame I think most fits look slimmer on you , similar to Kyle. The same fits on me would look very different. These look promising and look forward to more detailed feedback, measurements and the decision on keeping them!

Congratulations
