In the current rotation i've got: 

blue jeans

TCB 20's contest

FULLCOUNT 1108xx

Samurai s710xx

other jeans

well faded Japan Blue x Blue Owl Workshop JBO-420

Burgusplus 770zr

retired and lost in time

N&F frankenstein/rainbow core/green denim

Nudie Slim Jim

Japan Blue JB-401

Got some good wear on my s710xx after cleaning out my room at my parents house. really loving how soft the denim is despite its weight, and i'm in love with the cut. they would be my favourite jeans if they were hemmed a bit shorter.

got back from winter break without my 20's. oh how I've missed them. haven't gotten any hardcore fades like some of you my sedentary student life hasn't been to hard on them, I'm loving the roping and puckering. My buttons are still shiny as new

I’m sure you will. You just have to find that pair that fit just right. And I have never known how superreps work on this forum. Haha I’m actually curious now that you mention it. 

strange i tried to SUPERrep you because i think its better than POSrep. weird that there isn't a counter for it

those jeans are amazing i hope to wear a pair that hard in the future. how do SUPERrep work vs POSrep? 

another beautiful piece by the people at needles

I got 500CAD for Christmas what do i buy? What I own and wear I was thinking about maybe a new belt, or suspenders for my 20's. I can always use more hoodies, or sneakers. Trying to go for a more modern look using vintage style peices.

picked these up from Americaya in Ueno on a trip to Tokyo. I'm really impressed with how hairy and comfortable the denim is. not sure when I'll get around to wearing them seriously because i want to fade my fullcounts first. i was playing with many different cuff styles because i'm not sure how i want to wear these yet. i'm pretty happy with the fit of these jeans because the thigh is so much wider than all my other pairs and thee taper is very comfortable. if i haven't grown by the time i start wearing these daily i might wash again with a machine dry in order to shrink the length and soften them up. the Japanese man said they could shrink up to 8inches not sure if that's happened to anyone but i imagine he meant cm.

Measurements:

pre-wash

waist: 77cm

front rise: 28cm

back rise: 36cm

thigh: 29cm

knee: 22cm

leg opening: 20cm

inseam: 89cm

post-wash

waist: 72cm

front rise: 26cm

back rise: 36cm

thigh: 28cm

knee: 21cm

leg opening: 19cm

inseam: 86cm

 

 

mine didn't shrink a crazy amount but i only cold washed in the washing machine. i'm usually a 29 or a 30 waist. probably could've gotten away with a 29 + some stretch 

Is it possible to change usernames? my (joke of a) username is no longer relevant after our most recent celebritiy passing but I don't want to make a new account

Was upset to see someone else get number 8 but I'm happy with lucky number 13. Well post more pics/measurements when I have time

Received my shipping notification you're morning. It says it should arrive Monday night. Oddly specific but I've never had anything shipped DHL before

You can definitely fit some more pictures onto that post, Charles. 

Great work on those. Never had a chance to do the feelie on that denim, but it looks like a broken twill with that amazing vertical falling, and pretty different than the standard Momo cloth. Is that what you find?

yeah broken twill with a fair amount of slub, haven't felt many momotaro so can't comment on that. at this point they are very soft with some texture, texture has become less tactile with wear. 

i signed up. I'm going to wear my Fullcount 1108 or TCB 20 haven't tried the 20's yet we'll see which ones i prefer

20USD or regional equivalent?

I just blocked my personal account on my clothes account. Then I went to my clothes profile on my personal (blocked) account. This is what I see. When I click follow it suggests accounts to follow but it won't let me follow the account

I had no idea that Kapital made denim that heavy. I know they have a pretty large catalog of items and very little of it is available in the US.

i'm not sure if KAPITAL does make "extra heavy" denim but these overbuilt tote bags read "for X amount of extra heavy denim"

I do regret not being able to make it to a Kapital store, but I only had so much time.

KAPITAL was pretty cool when i visited they had various tote bags for x amount of extra heavy denim many many sizes i think the biggest was 25 pairs of extra heavy denim. they had a picture of a woman sitting inside the tote bag while two men lifted her in the bag. i also got to see some pretty cool boro stuff 

love those arc designs

my information on the list looks correct is there other info you need?

If you are a 29 on fullcount you'd better go for a 30 on tcb, have another look at measurements, just to be extra sure. I would be a 35 on fullcount and I wear a 36 on tcb. I'm away on tour at the moment. I'll fix the list in a couple days!

^ That's the original pair of Levi's that Inoue used to base his repro.

looking at the chart i think i would be fine with a 30 as long as it doesn't stretch more than 3cm. i don't want the waist to be too baggy, which for me is >=80cm

i'm getting in on this W29 L88cm don't wan't to miss this and regret. Not certain i'm sticking for the contest i might wear something else for the DWC we'll see 

EDIT: is TTS recomeded for these? my FULLCOUNT  and Burgus Plus are both tag size 29 and i love the waist 76cm at the moment.

strongly considering but i never wear my old blue co jeans with near identical measurements but slightly too wide waist not sure if worth it.
