  1. Nice jeans Double^^ I've got a pair of Okis I've been waiting to put to the test. With the heavyweight denim comp coming up, it doesn't look like they are going to stay on the shelf unfortunately. Great fades on these though!

  2. Sent old blue an Email yesterday. Been checking them out so I hope I hear something soon. For me I think it comes down between them and the Beatle busters 25oz. Seems like there is only the very cheap or the highly expensive when it comes to the heavy denims. I want something that will last the full two years and something with a fat leather patch that will age with the denim.

  3. Wow...I wish I would have known this competition was coming when I was in Japan earlier this year. I've got three pairs of jeans with the tags still on them and none of them will qualify. Looks like none of them are going to see wear soon either. I want to be a part of the competition, so Im in. Always wanted some ironhearts or flatheads but can't justify spending that kind of money when I already have so many pairs of jeans. Maybe the competition will give me the excuse...still Im going to look around first! This is going to be pretty cool!

  4. Yeah I mean had I tried them on or known what I know now it would be a different story. I would have not bought them and saved a hundred bucks. The thing is, I don't mind baggy or loose jeans. I also don't mind a slight sag. If I can get the waist to shrink and inch then it would be enough for me. If boiling or going through other extreme measures is only going to shrink the waist a half inch....well then I may as well resell them while they still have the tags on and not bother with all the extra work.

    So I guess Im back on the market for a pair of buckle back suspender jeans. It's really disappointing because everything I find for braces is like $300, and after this I'm not so sure I will be buying online again. I thought I got these for a steal, but it looks like its going to be a headache after all. Thanks for the help Maynard and Freeman those are the exact same pair that I have except the cotton label is stitched to the inside of the jeans instead of the outside. Interesting that this link says to buy the size of your actual waist.

  5. Hello I’m desperate for some help. I bought some levis 201’s off ebay . I love the idea of having some doughnut hole braces and thought this would be a good cheap way to get a pair. I could not tell if they were STF or not. Even if they are not STF I normally wear 34x34 in levis anyways. From what I was able to research before buying the jeans, the 201s are basically 501s with doughnut buttons for braces and a buckle back. Well I got the jeans and they fit like a 36x36. The tag also says “rigid†which Im guessing means that they are not STF and are actually sanforized with heavy starch? I can’t find very much information on this pair of jeans. These are the buckle back with the white tag on the inside that were released in 2010 I believe.

    I guess my question is, are these STF? What is “rigid†denim? Is it the same as raw are dry? Wondering if I should soak them or boil them to try to get them to shrink even more...

  6. Love the Okinawas. Just got a pair a few months ago but unworn. The snake patch was a big part of my decision, so a little worried the patch is going to end up like that but whatever. Still love the quality of jeans and looking forward to putting them on. More pis please!
