They soaked and dried yet @vIGGiou riou?

not yet...

IIY4 submited 

Lot 220 A

decided to join too...

with Denime 220A. Will join second week of January due to the holiday....

Hope will be fun and it will push me not to rotate so much and wear only one pair of jeans as much as possible...

hey jsky.

as I see your pictures, it's not bad. jeans sits you well. back picture is bad, because of you used fish eye lens of your iPhone. 

When I buy new pair of jeans, always I swim in them.... My protocol of new raw pair is double wash. First I wash them in slow program for 2-3 hours in 30 C. Than to let them dry, I try them and after I repeat wash with same criteria... than wear them at home around 1 hour, when they are almost dry but you can feel still little bit humidity of them. So they finish drying on your body and they settle nicely on your body. All steps I follow with measuring all sizes...

Good luck... 

all best during Christmas ... let's enjoy it ...

I think that you are right about it being a construction feature. I think that the denim direction and maybe the coin pocket placement is key.

The denim direction in the coin pocket vs. the underyling pocket vs. the leg is something that I've never really looked at in any detail before. So I took a peek at stock images of various TCB models, Denime 220a, and my pair of DD-1001xx.

For the TCB 50s, 60s, and Denime 220a, the direction of the coin pocket denim is parallel to the rest of the pocket and both are perpendicular to the rest of the jean. For TCB s40, the coin pocket direction is perpendicular to rest of the pocket and the rest of the pocket is parallel to the leg (so coin pocket is also perpendicular to the leg). For WH DD-1001xx-1947, coin pocket is perpendicular to the rest of the pocket and the rest of the pocket is perpendicular to the leg (so coin pocket direction is parallel to leg). I think that this contributes to the exteme lightning fades of the WH - you can even see puckering in the stock photo of the WH 1947 coin pocket. Interestingly, SC 1947 is not the same as WH 1947 though, as the SC 1947 is more like the Denime and TCB 50s/60s. The coin pocket creases/fades for the DD-1001xx-1947 and Denime 220a are both in the same physical direction, but they are opposite directions with respect to the direction of the coin pocket denim though.

Apologies for going super off-track, my curiousity on this point got the best of me.

Hi flynn...

would be great if your perfect description will be presented also in photos... really it would be interesting...

The measurements look indeed a bit weird. If the rise would be lower and thus the waist wider I could understand that but right now the cut looks strange on paper. 

agree... I will wait before to place order for first experience of super denim members...

looks like warehouse one size bigger of the size

size in waist looks bigger than 220/221. the other parts are OK, but proportion looks like waist is 1 size bigger than the other part of pants. I thought that denim should shrink less than previous 220/221 ?

edit : my post was aimed to this link https://www.rogues.co.jp/smartphone/detail.html?id=000000010908

b_F, I think you would turn the world out to find some nice pieces of Denime. It's nice strong passion....  

very nice progress of those 220A b_F ...

I have no favourite boots/shoes. Just only those I am wearing in the moment.....

Looks very nice.
Ticino, right.

As a kid I had been a few times to Mergoscia, many nice memories.

yes Eagle. above Locarno (Tenero) close to Lago di Vogorno... beautiful place, nice view on Lago di Magiore and all around, nice food (not tourists places - you have to go little bit down) and excellent air to bread... and easy hiking....

@vIGGiou riou stunning scenery, looks lovely around you way

thanks, Ticino is like best beautiful corner, where you can feel as to be in mediterainian location, as to be close to Mediterranean Sea. And fauna and flora are also similar. Climate is influenced with barrier of Alps which protect that valley from bad weather. Completely different climate, than in other part of Switzerland, or Milano, which is from  here 80-100 km. Only in summer is here too hot with high humidity...

yes Tilmann. They sits on me so perfect, like they were bespoken for me. Even you hemmed them really in right lengths for me ... 🙂 and tiny cuff is cool... 👍

RW cap

2x RMC

SC 1966 (thanks b_F)

Skoob Tokyo

very nice weather. so I did some walk around with my youngest son....

featuring SC cap

Dark red is really nice.... I would think color is possible easy to combine... If you'll need difetrent color of coat. Broark I think you have in your closet another options .....

the dryer soften the fabric, so after is more easy to stretch it back in waist...

in the past I was trying to manage the size with wash and dryer. But the result was always and always not good. Always I didn't received demanded fit. And always I destroyed leather patch..... Boiled patch and jeans soft from dryer as towel is not good combination ....

great progress Jared.... 10 months in rotation ? It means cca 3 months regular wear ? And how much washes ?

looking foreword to add 0105 to rotation after I will finish first round (100+ days wear) with my WH 1000XX. It will be nice to have them in rotation with repro of Lee jeans from Atlas&Co Lot 147. Both are wide enough and nice deep rise....

Bo.... Never I paid custom fees for goods from Hinoya. They calculate that to the sell price and they pay it. I calculated that and there is difference cca in all fees + 4% (from fees, not from sell price). And I am not disturb with custom office. Just I receive parcel and that's it...... It seems to me as good deal....

But I don't know how was that in past. First time I bought something from them was 2021.... Or different countries ?

hey b_F. I think, I can report on those SC 66. What you present as Machine wash changed. It's exactly measurements which I did after you ship them to me.... Unfortunately they are in closet for half of the year, but with the winter they will go out... So, I wore them cca 2,5 months. Now they are more relaxed and they are very comfy.... Top block and upper part of the leg are one of the best parts of jeans I had.... It's really fuller than straight cut jeans...

Actual measurement no wash :

W : 89 cm

FR : 31,5 cm

BR : 41 cm

Th : 32,5 cm

Knee : 24 cm

Hem : 20,5 - 21 cm

Insem still same

I have a god experience, maybe because I buy usually through verified sellers. Such as Hinoya, Rodeo Japan, Pants shop Avenue, Bears ....

Best is Hinoya where they also organize custom fees, so I needn't to solve any administration. Second is Bears. They ship above 15.000,- yen free of charge.... Very nice communication is also with Noaki from Pants shop and Seichiro - Freewheelers....
