Admittedly a quick uninspired, unoriginal question: what's the verdict on the stretchiness of the black collect denim? The Black Marias (and the previously featured collect denim fades) are the first and only black jeans that have made me do a bona fide double take. Ridiculously cool.

While I'm thrilled that Leftfield and co. added a size 35 to the repertoire, I'm nonetheless still between sizes (34 --> 35) on the Greasers. Any thoughts?  

I really like the way AWs age, but nervous about the sizing. Is it generally accurate to the size chart? I'd probably want a 33 in the Caribou, but the knees and hem seem really small compared to the thighs, and the fit pics on the site really dont look very tapered (I like the fit pics a lot). Thanks

Doubting Thomas here. jmfr posed this question (see above) a while back about the shape/cut of the Caribous and I'm wondering much the same thing. Are Ande's cuts all as tapered as the website's measurements seem to suggest? Okisan and others have done such a good job on this thread serving as ambassadors to the brand, and in so doing have created, in my mind a compelling reason/desire to get in on Ande's one-man-band of a brand. Hands down some of the most beautiful and honest looking craftsmanship and materials. Yet, it strikes me that even the more generous sounding Caribou & Buffalo models mean a 34" waist requires a generous thigh but a narrow knee & hem. Do either/both of these fits actually fit straight/slim straight or am I missing something? I would love to send my hard earned cash Ande's way, but a carrot leg I am not.

just pre ordered the work trousers after browsing this whole thread. love where this brand is going. now if only the isc trousers be re released...

I also pre-ordered work trousers a day or two before crosswound. Not handling the delayed gratification with much grace, to be honest. They just cannot get here fast enough. Anybody got recent pics of the last generation broken in and beaten up? 

Hey guys

 

We don't usually post in here too much but we thought that might be of interest to you guys. From NF's last blog post :

NEW Fading Contest #4-Okayama Spirit

 

It’s time for our 4th fading contest!

This contest will be for our Okayama Spirit jeans. The jeans come in three fits: SuperSkinnyGuy, WeirdGuy and SlimGuy – so you can choose any of the three to compete!

 

The rare slub yarn that makes this denim, as well as the pure indigo dye, are the keys to it’s beauty. In order to preserve the rare beauty of this fabric, we have kept it in it’s greige unsanforized state. That means it will shrink one full size in the wash, but fade with beautiful and unique results. Expect 1″ of shrinkage in the waist, and 2″ in length when soaked/washed for the first time.

These jeans are available to purchase now in stores worldwide and you can find them online here: SuperSkinnyGuy, WeirdGuy, SlimGuy

 

To enter, all you have to do is buy a pair of these jeans and send us a photo of the front and back of the jeans. Please also include your name and email address. Then, wear your jeans hard and beat them up for 6 months! As your jeans fade, please send us progress photos. Finally, on June 1, 2014 please send us a photo of your jeans and we will choose from all the entries and announce the winners!

 

 

Looking forward to seeing all these great slubby fades.

Hate to make a snarky first sufu post, but if you trust Blue Owl's measurements (not to mention T & Y's "general size charts"), it looks like N&F once again bungled the inseam length on their unsanforized offerings. I would have been interested in a pair of Okayama SlimGuys, but shrinking to a 32" or less inseam is a deal breaker for me and just about anybody under 5 foot 10. Seems like the Oni Collab travesty all over again. Would love to know why N&F does this.
