  1. Next prewash update Ooe Yofukuten Lot OA01XX-0522: The pair feels very light and extremely comfortable on the body (sometimes I feel Zimbabwe cotton like FC), fit well on the body, joyful experience Thread count, thread color and stitches per inch are well balanced throughout the pair and helps create an elegant look and feel. Consistent placement of iPhone in right front pocket has left marks of usage (not very prominent) Whiskers are prominent Buttons have become shiny (couldn't capture well by camera) Usage of wallet in left back pocket developed marks, waiting for blowout with more usage Nice puckering on back pockets and yoke raised loops have started fading nicely I liked slight puckering of waist band (maybe I will not like extensive puckering) raised loop like double stitching, from crotch area to yoke with raised cloth , caused similar character like "raised loops fading" (either deliberate by OA or incidental , though very nice). leather patch still intact and very soft like silk train tracks are prominent copper rivets at pockets have started change in color honey combs the best roping, I have experienced so far among all Japanese Raw Denim pairs I have though not well captured by camera but stitching on inseam looks very elegant An unwanted crease during 1st wash also got prominent (my mistake during first wash)
  2. perhaps the most sensational denim contest ever , even for those who are not in the contest but just spectators 😍

  5. I repeated FC1108 already , as first pair sufficient was worn out.
  6. @shredwin_206 thanks for the comments, I usually use this sizing estimation for Japanese Raw Denim One Wash pairs but for Freewheehelers just wanted to make sure before purchase, and now find the same applies to FW as well. I will try hammering the sharp rivets with care.
  7. New pair of FW 601xx 1951 "one wash" in size 34, hue of indigo is amzaing , clean and impressive construction. below picture taken on 3rd day of the wear: hemmed by Okayama Denim using their Union Special 43200G , chain stitch with matching color thread, original pair was having 80 cm inseam length, I needed 77cm for 5cm cuff Rivets are pointed / sharp , hopefully will not scratch the skin when putting hands into pockets or when touched without caution. Below waist measurement pictures taken before first wear: Waist measured 86cm , using "The Relax Method": 88cm waist width using flat method: Speedway provided waist measurement using "Flat Method" and was flexibile in communication whereas "Hoosier" was rigid, so I bought from Speedway Waist measured again after 3rd day of the wear, it shows 3cm stretched, now measuring 91cm. It seems it will easily stretch more 1 or 2 cm like any other Japanese denim in coming 20 to 30 wears, one wash pairs usually stretch 5cm (tends to reach raw position) by passage of time.

  9. Thanks @tooth for valuable feedback, much appreciated. Just for informatoin, I have used FC 13.7oz
  10. I prefer stretch to fit , as my one wash Jeans (2 FC1108, 1 FC1109, 1 SugarCane , 1 Momotaro), which started as 86 or 87cm waist are now 91 or 92cm, I can easily wear them without belts even. Also , my raw OA01-XX started as 91.5 cm, shrunk 5cm less and now stretch back again to raw position, wearable without belt. My Warehouse 1001xx in raw as 94cm , shrunk and now stretched back, though my required waist is 91 or 92cm but I must wear belt with this pair as by sitting and working pressure applies , and these WH1001xx tend to reach to raw position , roughly to 94, beyond waist requirement. So , in my opinion we must target Raw position even buying One Wash pair. Raw measurement is cap, within this tolerence limit , the waist is safe.
  11. One shop sharing 88cm in size 34 FW 601xx 1951, other shops sharing 85 or 85cm. That's why I opened discusion of using Waist Measurement methods: 1. Relax Method (as shown above by Hoosier) 2. Flat Method (aka Measuring along the top edge) Each of them gives different waist measurement, I prefer 2nd one, used by Okayama Denim, Denimio, Rivet and Hide, etc. https://denimbmc.com/how-to-measure-the-waist-on-jeans-the-two-industry-standard-methods/
  12. Golden words by b_f either have to take W34 and "stretch to fit" or W36 and "shrink to fit"
  13. I got answer to these two methods: https://denimbmc.com/how-to-measure-the-waist-on-jeans-the-two-industry-standard-methods/
  14. my actual waist is 91.5 cm or 36inches wide (using flat method). FW 601xx 1951 size 36 one wash is 90 or 91cm already, as with wear the pair's waist will increase so it will become too loose (if the pair becomes 94 or 96, it will be too loose). I bought 36inches / 91.5cm wide OA Yofukaten OA01XX size 36 which got shrunk first and later become 91cm again after use, also WH 1001xx size 34 was 94cm in Raw state after wash shrunk but with use stretchd back to 94cm.
  15. Guys! Anyone who used FW 601xx 1951 "one wash" can recall, how many centimeters the waist is stretched after using the pair for 10 or 20 days? a shop shared the waist in size 34 is 86cm wide (43 x 3 = 86), I am targeting for 92 or 93cm wide after use. Whetehr FW 601XX 1951 will stretch 5 cm or more? if yes, the pair is having correct waist width for my size. I used one wash in Sugar Cane SC41470 , Momotaro 0105sp streteched 5 cm more and Fullcounts 1108 and 1109 in one wash stretched around 6cm more, making waist width from 86 or 87cm to 91 or 92cm. Please advise.
  16. Guys, anyone recently bought Freewheelers 601xx 1951? what is the waist measurement in size 34 or size 36? As this pair is sold "one wash" , I expect that after use the waist will stretch back to raw or near raw position, say waist is 86cm so it will become 91cm or if the waist is 88cm , it will become 93 cm, right? I am used to flat measurement method (A) but most shops using "waist measurment using circumeference" (B) I see using Flat Method the waist is 45 x 2 = 90cm , whereas using 2nd method 44 x 2 = 88, so if a shop is using 2nd method, simply I can add 2cm to reah "Flat Method A" right? A "Flat Method" B "Waist Measurment using Circumeference"
