^ the lasts I tried (got a pair of oxford and a pair of tyroleans, thuya or something) are on the long and narrow side, imo

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, the only ones I'm interested in are built on the Odeon last, and I'm not sure what the differences are...

Does anyone have any experience with Heschung sizing? Specifically their Odeon last?

Bonus, cuffing the waist (@buler ):

 

Reminded me of these Belafonte pants haha

Just got my 32 OW pair in the mail this afternoon. Sizing wasn't an issue, even if I did put on weight over the last few months. I'm still gonna chuck them in for another wash and tumble dry to make sure most of the shrinkage is gone.

• Waist 40.25cm
• Front rise 33.75cm
• Back rise 43.5cm
• Thigh 31.25cm
• Knee 24cm
• Hem 22.75cm
• Inseam 77.5cm

#106

My 32 OW with a 31" inseam should be coming tomorrow. My fatass is both excited and nervous about how they'll fit.

Damn, estimated delivery was for today, but tracking shows that it's still in a neighbouring state. Will probably get them on Monday unless they deliver on weekends 

Yo, these are NICE!

I got my shipping notification for OW + hemmed a few hours ago. Sound hopefully get to Australia by the end of the week!

#107 checking in.  Size 34 raw, measuring 44.5 cm or 89 cm = 35" when the waistband is aligned. 

I like those pocket bags. This whole time I didn't realise you were getting raw instead of OW!

This thread has me sweating. Hopefully I'll sweat enough so that I will fit my jeans haha

I messaged Ryo in regards to my OW measurements, but he said that he'll get back to me on Monday. We'll see how things pan out!

Shipping 200 jeans of different lengths, one-wash/raw, etc. to different addresses mustn't be fun. I'm cool if mine don't arrive until a week or so after the start date, but would be nice to be able to see tracking details!

More progress on the jeans!

Just picked up both my pairs, some comparison photos. XX20 on top, XUVS beneath.

Was waiting for this. Looking forward to the fit pics!

shoutout to ryo-san with the lightning fast customer service! does he have an account here?

Hmmmm, don't think he has one yet, but he's used Inoue-san's account to post here. It's @TCBINOUE

Seems like there will be a 1984 501 coming out that's most likely Japanese denim and cut/sewn somewhere in Europe. I'm no Levi's historian, but would be interested to see how the fit differs from the other models.

@Maynard Friedman I recently sold my Triple Pleat because it became too small after washing. My M size after hot soak/hot machine wash, then subsequent cold machine washes ended up with the following measurements. I believe this was just the flat measurements, i.e., I didn't stretch out the pleats.

Pit-to-pit: 51.25cm (20.2")
Shoulder-to-shoulder: 45.25cm (17.8")
Sleeve: 60.25cm (23.7")
Back length: 54cm (21.3")

Did y'all see these pics?

Check the third photo on the lower left corner- definitely some sort of stitching on the pocket, or so it appears...

I'm also curious if those thread snips in the third picture were strategically placed to cover a tab...

There's a new 60's Slim Jeans available for those that are into it. If you have the 50's version, you might also be interested in trying these!

^I agree with this. Preferably in the standard 1947 cut, but would happily settle for a black version in the 1966.

Guys, I can't wait. That is all.

I'll continue checking this thread for the next 1.5 months, knowing that the time ain't gonna go any faster lol

@propellerbeanie both Zen and Buyee work well, I think Zen's process of asking for funds to be put into your account wallet before securing the purchase is a bit annoying.
When bidding on Buyee you just have your PayPal or CC information linked and they only take the funds once you win the auction.

I am a little annoyed with Zen right now since I preordered a pair of the Warehouse 25th anniversary jeans and I'd been seeing them pop up on Instagram.
Sent them a message wondering if there had been any updates only to find out it's been at their warehouse since July 1st...maybe they're just busy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Many thanks! I'll have a look into Buyee a bit more

Hopefully you get your Warehouse jeans before your TCBs

Ignore the mess under my desk... Just thought the banner denim looked nice in the light!

What’s wrong with flannel?

I believe flannel pockets in summer isn't the most comfortable experience

Hey y'all, I know a number of you have purchased from Yahoo JP, but I was wondering which proxy/forwarding service was best? I know there's Buyee and ZenMarket... Any preference? Thanks =)

@Broark @julian-wolf Just tagging you guys because I think you've mentioned using Yahoo JP in the past. Anyone else, please feel free to chime in
