I got a size 36", it's a bit tight at first but stretches out quick. I feel like I could wear a 38" pretty easily, it would just be a little longer and require less stretching.

My recent pickups from JB/Momo:

- Double Black JB0716BK (Much better after 2 hot soaks and a hem)

- Olive Drab workshirt

I wear my indigo worksheet really often but wanted something a little different - I love the color of this new one, slightly more brown than I was expecting but definitely a nice change. Included pictures of my Indigo, around 1.5 years but I'm not sure how much actual wear. The fading is a little too subtle to photograph well, but it's definitely lost a lot of color all over. 

What Geeman said! And if you go with their default "chosen by most customers" option, you probably won't get hit with any charges! I've had a pretty good run of it so far. 

Anyone have experience with the Japan Blue Double black, JB0716BK? Mine just arrived but they're a little big in the waist and a little bigger than I want in the leg opening. Denimio lists both a one wash and a non-wash version, but I'm pretty sure they aren't unsanforized.

I guess I'm just wondering if anyone had soaked there's and had any shrinkage. 

Oh wow I didn't even notice! Thank you for the heads up 

Retiring my Tanner Goods wallet after about 2.5 years today, replacing it with a Billykirk zip wallet. 

Lots of crocking + the stitching is starting to unravel in a few spots.

Does anyone know if Don't Mourn, Organize is still in business? I went in search of a new wallet and the website appears to be down. Has been for quite a while now!

Contest Jeans have been officially relegated to "Workshop and Bike ride" Jeans, so I'm expecting much more damage and a higher frequency of washes. Here they are after the last shop day:

I had to machine wash them twice to get all of the grease out!

Accidental post

I am looking to buy a pair of Loin Pods/Flap Front shorts from Rick Owens. I would need a size xs and would prefer Black, but will consider offers in grey. Message me what you have, include condition and season if possible, and let me know what you are hoping to sell them for!

~These ones~

That's how I cuff a Majority of my jeans! It looks a little too bulky on the end of such a heavy taper though, in my opinion. I'm happy with the smaller cuff because I wanted more stacking with this pair anyways.

I was back and forth on cuffing this pair but I think you're right - a little less stacking looks better. Unfortunately even if I cuff them past my ankles the knees still look the same, so I'll just have to assume it'll improve with time. 

I love the fit! But if I don't keep pushing the legs down then my knees start to look like this:



I'm assuming it will get better as they soften up. I'm just not used to my skinnier jeans doing that! But I've also never managed to get jeans this heavy to be this skinny.

I also picked up some other Momotaro goodies:

Some fit pictures for my new 0305-18. I love the fit overall, but the knees are seeming like they're going to end up very baggy. Lots of extra fabric relative to the taper around the calf.

Also interesting: I wore double indigo jeans for a whole year and my shoes stayed perfectly white, but these leaked pretty heavily after a couple hours. I don't care so much with the converse, but will probably avoid wearing with the white leather until after a few washes.

Sure! They've only seen a couple days of solid wear at the moment but I can put up some fit pics.

Interested in the two Rick Owens shirts! Would like to see some pictures though. Do you know what season?

I didn't use bleach this time

X-Post PBJ thread

PBJ contest jeans at ~9ish months. Two hot soaks and one machine wash. I haven't been wearing super consistently lately- I made the mistake of buying some Momotaro 0305-18s so I'm struggling to keep these as my everyday jeans. They're also deteriorating pretty rapidly, so I may call them done before the full year is up. Images were taken in very bright sunlight, color is pretty accurate. I'm going to repair all of the crotch damage today. 

I've blown a pretty sizable hole in the knee in the last couple weeks

I used bleach instead of detergent because it's a lot cheaper.

Broark - Denimio says they will be restocking xx-009 on May 20th, if all goes to plan with production.
