@robotbox Just took them out the dryer, and they are still a tiny bit damp. I'm pretty happy with the results as I now don't have as much extra fabric bunching up near my butt. Waist Pre Wash: 36" , Waist Post Wash: 34.5" Thigh Pre Wash: 13" , Thigh Post Wash: ~12.75" Inseam Pre wash: 31", Inseam Post wash: 30.5" I can tell these jeans stretch rather easily in the waist, so I wish I would have gone with a 34 instead (although that might have been pushing it). With more wears, I'm sure it'll be an even better fit.

@robotbox That's a bummer, wanted to give mine a hot wash/dry since its a bit roomy on the top block. I'll give mine a try nonetheless.

As I never posted my masks, here I go: Top mask is from General Quarters and the bottom is from Runabout goods

@dudewuttheheck Although Bandana's are not as effective as surgical masks, the presence of a face covering is better than no covering. Surgical masks are able to prevent the release of aerosols/droplets more effectively than bandana's mainly due to the type of material used. These aerosols/droplets get trapped in the covering and can help prevent a person from spreading it if they are infected. These studies go a bit more in depth: Masks and Respiratory diseases and Types of Mask and their effectiveness. I don't work in researching this disease, but I do spend most of my work days fully gowned up in a lab. I find it rather odd that people are so against a prevention measure that has no adverse effect to them aside from maybe making their faces a bit hotter. Those biological warfare references also lets me know that that person does not understand the difference between the blocking a droplet coming out of your mouth and the dispersal of a chemical gas within a confined space.

Thanks, might take advantage of this Self Edge sale after all.

@julian-wolf Thanks for the clarification, SE has it listed as 70/30 for the Okinawa jeans but other places have it as 50/50. @cusswords I might wait for those, a slimmer fit would be great. I've been trying to avoid sizing up, need to lose weight instead

The waist seemed smaller than the regular pair as well, I'd be around a 36 in that pair. I already have the Oki's in the regular cut, was hoping that a slimmer version of the hawaii jean would come up too. Do you know if the Hawaii and the Okinawa are vastly different in terms of feel and fades? I know the ratio between cotton and sugar cane is different.

That’s me wearing my contest pair at home. But more belly though

Hey guys, anyone stateside happen to be interested in a pair of OrSlow's 107 in size 3? Picked them up in Japan last year but I prefer the 105 fit. Can provide more details if needed

Hey guys, in case anyone was interested in the Kiraku II in size 34, I am selling my pair. Feel free to message me for more info. post is here: https://grailed.app.link/b4iZcofCY9

Their Blackie Jacket looked really nice. Curious to see if they will carry a similar style next year.

Anyone happen to have experience with the 1108SL? Seems like they run smaller than the usual 1108 based off of Okayama Denim’s size chart however the Fullcount page shows usual sizing for a 34.

@JDelage Dawson has some really great fit pics on their IG, really like how they seem to drape. I might be contacting you next week once I reorganize my denim. Does the denim have some give to it?

@Tiro Hey I’ll keep you updated on whether I keep mine or not. I’ve taken up a diet to lose some of that Covid gain, but if they end up not feeling right after two weeks, then I’ll let these go

@garden gnomes in space I'm in the same in terms of the buttoning. The second to the top bottom seems perfect and the fit from that 2nd button down is perfect. The top button is doable, but very tight. If you have added some extra pounds during covid, maybe they can easily be lost later on? I'd say give it a shot, i'll join you on the weight loss side.
