Apparently. I'd rather just own up to my muffin top and rock it with low-rise jeans. It's more comfortable.

Low rise is comfortable for me but not to those exposed to my butt cleavage. Not everybody can look as sexy as Will Farrell in the SNL clip a few posts above ;-( 

Or so I have been discreetly informed.

Muffin Top.

Are high rise jeans the best at hiding muffin top? My thought is it might be possible to pull them up and over the supersize obliques.

Does Buyee work as a Proxie for bricks & mortar shops in JP? 

Thanks

Cool, I might give that a try!

Any chance you are posting here?

What sizes?

Cheers

Example of early Patagonia Double Front extending to the waist rather than the common double knee stopping mid-thigh  (a useless design). The Lot “104” is quite similar. 

Thank you for another highly informative response. I thought I knew how to spot fake fades but obviously not. All these years I have wondered how guys get washed out fades but with no blowouts at high friction areas or dirt/oil stains. By the time my own denim britches reach the level of faded indigo in the carpenter pants above, they have made many trips to my favorite BKK street seamstress for repair (attached photo). 

The reason I am interested in the lightweight Lot “104” is because I spend about 1/2 of each year in the tropics of SE Asia. I always wore LVC ‘33 & ‘37 and also 201’s   but they are too pricey these days to replace so I rely heavily on Dickies painter pants in the natural color (similar loose fit and lightweight). The only problem is I miss actual denim and well-earned stages of fade.

I thought these early 102, 104, 106 may be the solution. 

Sidenote: I always had fade envy for the motorbike taxi drivers around BKK but since reading your post I now recognize those guys have fake fade patterns. I had always thought it was the result of constant exposure to the Rainy Season and sun.

I think I will buy a Lot “104” and see how they age. I spend alot of time crawling around while performing inspections and I like how the double layer of fabric extends all the way to the waist. The early ‘80 Patagonia used to do that. 

So sorry to see what happened to Hudson’s Hill. I hope they are able to recover some of the stolen items.

A sad reminder to all to inspect alarm systems (Theft, Fire, CO).

And then subtract the new customer discount and they are even cheaper! And so fast to deliver.

I don’t care how they do it. IMO, US retailers charge a hefty margin because their clientelle are willing to pay.

They leave themselves open to a business model like Denimio swooping in.

I love your honesty. I share a similar opinion of that marble look.

The best way to achieve the marble appearance is to give it to somebody’s mom from the 1980’s because that was what every dad’s jeans looked like back then.

I found some photos of the Lot "104" from a pair currently listed on Grailed here in BKK but still looking for "102" & "106".

So the one has just lost its hair?

I feel like a knucklehead now. I can see a small tuft remaining.

Thanks

Can anyone hazard a guess as to what weight fabric these might be? They are more of a painter pant style dungaree.

They look light like possibly a 10-oz?

Cheers

Denimio Rocks.

Excellent Customer Service and an easily accessible chat option with native English speakers and great pricing as well.

Reddit Scmeddit...just more internet herd mentality.

I see a pair of the SEXSC02 on Grailed right now in your 33W in very good condition. Just like the ones you posted above:

https://www.grailed.com/listings/11850801-sugar-cane-sugar-cane-star-sexsc-02

Some less common SC on Grailed currently.

Lot 600 was a limited run of 12.5-oz hand woven Okinawa (50/50) with natural indigo that retailed for ¥56,000 so these are a steal.

Description here:  http://www.mil-mil.net/docs/sugarcane/jeans/sc40600/sc40600.html

I would have purchased these "Lot 600" because I love the cinch-back but they have a short back rise that would give me "plumber's crack" and I would not know how to properly care/ launder such an amazing denim anyway.
