  1. @super-thermite, I mean the vertical lines that don't follow a fold but have washed out lighter than the rest of the leg due to some kind of crinkling in the wash or detergent settling into wrinkles. It happened pretty heavily on my last Warehouse pair. I didn't really care much for that denim all around and particularly disliked the heavyweight pocket bag material.

  2. @Sympathy-For-The-Denim, they are the standard 13.75 oz. I usually wash right side out after the first two or three washes. There's no deeply thought out formula to how I wash. I wash when I think they need it. I use the machines and detergents available to me at the moment (sometimes travelling). And honestly, it doesn't make any difference.

    I have some pairs that end up with rivers. I have some that end up with deep creases. I have some that don't. It's antithetical to the garment to treat it any differently than underwear or a tee shirt when it comes to how you wash it. I just wear and wash and let what happens happen.

  3. Yeah, I think the thing with styling a vest like that is to not work it into a "heritage" or "workwear" style. I think it would look great with an oversized military fatigue or cargo paired with sneakers. Paired with denim and/or boots, it will certainly look too folksy for my taste. I would also love to see it with something like the Good Ol' What's-Her-Face Freedom Flight Trouser or some sort of linen trouser and then a lug-soled moc from your choice of brand or a loafer. It's really just a matter of styling it outside of its origins and it will look super cool.

  4. @AlientoyWorkmachine thank you. I couldn't really say what the wash schedule has been. I can't wear them at work (for the past 12 months anyway) and I have worn some Roy's, Warehouse, Mister Freedom and other chinos all throughout as well. I just wash them when I feel like it's time. I couldn't really even guess as to how many washes beyond saying more than 6 and less than 15. I only have access to a laundromat so I wash and tumble these on "Colors" and "Low" whatever that means on those machines.

    I understand you love them. Couldn’t you keep your pair from the foto shoot?

    I bought them at cultizm 

    Mine should deliver to me next week along with the 11.5 oz Type I. I'll try to post once I have them, though I guess you have already seen that fit...

    @MJF9 man I wish I had grabbed those. 
     

    so is the consensus with OOE to order two sizes up? So if I’m a 33 I need a 35? 

    Two sizes up will fit great with some stretch. If I was going to get another pair, I would go up three sizes because I prefer my jeans a little loose. I have a 33 and it's a "perfect" fit meaning I can break it in and wear it without a belt after stretch. I prefer the feeling of a waist and thigh that don't require stretch and just fit comfy right out of the wash. I also prefer an 8.75" LO minimum. For that I would go up three sizes to a 34 rather than the 33 I own.

  7. The jacket is killer. I would be reluctant to buy that pant without trying it on first. It could be great. It could be one of those styles that even in the right size, it still doesn't fit. I think I could find the fit with the luxury of playing with a few sizes, but I don't have that luxury.

  8. I can't wear non-Drake's pants at work, but I would buy-in if the jean was cool. Wearing around work means no real shot at winning, but it's still fun to participate. I actually love the full, relaxed fit mentioned in the TCB main thread. Not really sure that's up TCB's alley though. We'll see!

    Hear me out.

    90’s. 

    That’s the only contest I’m in for. 

    3Sixteen x Throwing Fits have you covered.

  10. @CharlieMike, funny enough, I have exactly that from the contest prize with Signet.

    Pre-wash/Post-wash & tumble

    Waist: 34” / 31”

  11. Jelado has really been pushing into my Instagram lately and it's reminded me that they make some cool stuff, but completely lack a brand identity that inspires me to invest in their version of the same thing.

  12. Yeah, if you're only measuring to confirm what your eyes already saw, there's a problem. Lucky for you, it's one leg too long rather than one leg too short. Do you have anywhere you can get them chain stitched again? Lots of options in the US.

  13. @KarlHavoc I would need to see the pants on you to give you any feedback. Inseam on jeans is only measured from one side as there is a bit of asymmetry to the construction through the crotch and seat. If they're draping much longer on the right side, then you have a problem.

  14. I would really like to get another pair of 2001s. My friend brought me a pair back from Japan around 2013, but they're just a bit too small for how I prefer my jeans to fit these days. But that cut is so unique with its excessive hip flare and enormous back pockets yet somehow maintaining a proportional balance that still fits well. I actually really enjoyed the No. 2 denim. It was soft and washed well for a sanforized product. I would take any standard indigo denim I can find in my size, the right condition (lightly worn is fine) and at the right price. I'll have to try out Yahoo JP auctions. I've never ventured there out of concern for my wallet.

  15. @tooth, I'm not totally sure what they're referring to when they label it "super smooth." The 11.5oz fabric is noticeably softer than the 13.75oz though. I think they used that same 11.5oz for the washed SS24 stuff as well, but I don't know for sure.

  16. @FurnitureMaker, they all drape beautifully and are comfortable, easy to wear garments. Fullcount's fabric is what I love most about its jeans. That remains the same in the Kimo Not.

    I personally wouldn't wear it from a style standpoint. I tend to go with subtlety that in combination creates strong visual coherence, but it's a cool piece. And honestly, if I was gifted that set, I'm sure I would get comfortable wearing that as an outfit after a couple of wears.

    The 11.5oz fabric for these SS24 releases is unreal. I have the rinsed jacket and 0105 on order for February-ish delivery. I'm interested to see how that weight wears in summer compared with the 13.75oz. Not sure if the difference will be appreciable, but I'm excited to find out.

  17. Thanks @julian-wolf! I found the drop down menu on my phone. For some reason it doesn't appear in the page that loads into the browser on my computer.

    How much did they ultimately sell for on Self Edge? Honestly, $595 and $695 for new with tags seems very reasonable all things considered. And $350 for a one wash? That was a steal. You gotta wash the damn things to wear 'em anyway. Haha.

    I'm afraid it looks like they may all come up too short for you, Julian. They were mostly meant for Roy himself to wear and it appears he's much shorter than you. But maybe there'll be a random long-length pair in there for you. Seriously, good luck!

    I have the Foreman Chino and some version of the Black Seed denim (can't be bothered to go dig them out to confirm the model). If I came across a $350 pair though, I would definitely get it. I wear 32 in most of his cuts.
