After wearing only straight leg jeans for a while, i tried out a 714 Valencia straight tapered jean since i had gained some weight and it allowed me to get into a bigger size that gave me more room in the calf. I was surprised in how much i liked the tapered fit. I did a warm wash with a quick machine dry.

eh I don't expect this to be any different than any other unsanforized model of jean by any brand. This is actually a lot easier because you can buy the size that fits you just right and stick to cold gentle cycle washes (or the suggested roy bathtub wash) or you can buy a little bigger and do your normal wash/dry cycle.

I believe the measurements on Roy's website are not for the run that he did for self edge. That was for his previous run that was a little different of a fit and not soaked. The self edge model was lukewarm soaked by roy for 20 minutes so if you machine wash in cold, it'll shrink up only a little bit. If you're washing on warm and drying, then you're going to get significant shrink. Given how much my RT1002 shrank with multiple warm washes, you'd probably get almost another size of shrink if you also dry it.

The fit on the 1947 is pretty close to the Okinawa so if the Okinawa is too baggy, you'll find the 1947 too baggy too. If you're not into a looser fit, you should look into their slimmer models (2009, 2014, OKBSP)

That's an awesome color. I cant believe I haven't walked over half a block to see them in person yet at dsptch. I dont think it's necessary to only have a backpack if you're going to be carrying a ton of stuff. We're no longer in grade school. We dont need to carry text books anymore. My backpack is generally just a book, water bottle, external phone battery, lotion, and if I'm feeling ambitious, I'll throw in a snack. It's basically a backpack version of my mom's purse when I was growing up.

The shrinkage is pretty minimal on that denim. If you hot wash and dry, you might be able to get it to shrink a little bit but as you know very well with waists, the end result after stretch will be the same.

I think that's a pretty solid fit. I think you'll appreciate the little bit of extra room as you break them and put stuff in your pockets.

@Cold Summer For what it's worth, I went with the size on the Okinawa, Hawaii and 1947 that is a little snug in the waist and they all stretched out nicely. My waist is a little under a 30 and I got 29s in all of them. The fit ends up somewhere between a classic 1947 and a slim straight.

flat head's new loopwheeled t-shirts gets up to 47 in the chest now too in the size XXL.

yeah, it'll be online soon. which color are you looking for?

Depends which one you're looking at. The sizing has been adjusted for the newer shirts this year so if it's one of the newer spring/summer ones, a large could work. The cut is still on the slim side but not really any slimmer than you'd expect from a western.

I took that photo on that Denimhunters Instagram and can attest that it looked just as great in person.

Dang, that new rjb fabric looks really good. I’m starting to see more worn in jeans using that fabric but that’s the best one so far.

The arcuates are stitched further up so that when they fold the pockets it'll hide part of the arcs on the inside. He also put a curve on the pockets so it's an acorn-esque shape but still has enough room at the bottom of your wallet if you're like me and have a chunkier wallet. Normally I gravitate towards unsanforized but I've seen a lot of examples of how this fabric ages and it's just as good as anything Stevenson puts out. The jeans are cool but I'm actually more excited about the tops he's done...it was hard to decide what to buy because everything was just so good.
