Blue in Green N-01 jeans

[darly900]

Thanks very much for those two posts, any indication of how much they might stretch?

Could they stretch back to the pre-soak waist measurements?

Thanks

[jacoavlu]

yep, if need be I think so

after one day, W 31, Th 11.75

oh, and the left leg is gonna skew, post soak was prob 20 degrees

[jacoavlu]

quick fit pic

the shirt is Iron Heart IHSH-27 denim, for color reference

[PeterParker]

For reference, what size do you wear in other jeans? (Looking for true waist to tagged waist reference)

[jacoavlu]

30 in IH (634sr, sexih07, 9301, 702)

[Leonard Leroy]

Ya, they're really great jeans

I washed mine after a month of wear and all the green sulphur dropped off into this nice light coloured blue

[jacoavlu]

Interesting... I assume you soaked them when you first got them?

[Leonard Leroy]

yup.

They got really green, overtly so.

Then I thought to wash it out since the green cast is just a topping.

and it worked out

pics or...it never happened

mr LL...a MONTH ago???

[Piddan]

a little pic i found on my phone, its not much but this thread needs more action cuz these jeans are awesome. around 7-8 months i think, two initial soaks and one wash at like three months.

mr LL...a MONTH ago???

Ya, I was the first one to get them, because i was asking about n-01s prior. Gordon hit me up weeks before they went online, before they were even stamped.

^Nice...I'd love to see the evo pics to get a preview of what to expect on my pair...

[Moyamoya]

+1

headed to BiG this weekend and was thinking of picking these up

[aho]

The truth is, despite being financially strapped (bF you know what I'm talking about), I had to make room for these in my life...Haven't had time for pics as it's dark by the time I get home but should have ample time/light this weekend. The denim is a lot more regular (not as much nep, etc.) IRL than I thought based on the pictures and are of a definite lighter/green variety. The rise is also shallower than I prefer coming from my repro/WH pairs but for a modern jean with all the bells and whistles, this is quite simply the best pair you can get for the money. And actually, it'd be well worth it even if it cost even more...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

so you got these? nice

hope you can make both jeans work

[aho]

^I usually find ways to make things work in the end if it's denim on the line! Gotta feed the addiction of course...

[Leonard Leroy]

maybe it's just what i've been up to, but points of abrasion on the seat which have worn past the indigo show a dirty fade even after the wash which i'm a fan of.

[sea bass]

picked up a pair of the new 5th anniversary jeans over the weekend and good GOD they are awesome.

[tvshooter]

cool sea bass! just grabbed a pair on Monday at BiG. can't wait to soak these!

[mr.invincible]

can i see pics of the denim? I want to see how their true colors.

and definitely fit pics! the price point on these seems good

[PeterParker]

I was going to buy these jeans anyway, but since everyone is creaming themselves over them, I finally put my money down to make sure I don't miss out. Love the denim and details, and that they're (likely) manufactured by Oni - big fan of my pair of Burgus and have always wanted a pair of Oni's.

Let's do this!

ahh, i just soaked them about an hour ago. didn't bother with pre-soak pics or measurements. i sized down (trying to lose a weight) and got a 32. i tried a 33 on at the store too. didn't seem to be much difference in the fit of the waist pre-soak, so i went with a 32 for a better fit in the thighs. pre-soak pic color on the website is pretty accurate. fairly light but darkened in the tub. i also wore them in the tub and gave them a ten minute soak in lukewarm water. Yuji recommended this as he said that the jeans do shrink significantly. the fit is very reminiscent of my 1108's, maybe with a slightly lower rise. def not a high rise jean, which i'm ok with.

hope that helps, i'll try to snap some pics and give post measurements tomorrow.

[tvshooter]

they were still a bit damp when i woke up this morning. took them to RVA to show to Lendo. they fit him pretty well, but i didn't snap pic.

awesome denim. Gordon doesn't disappoint ya'll. get em while you can. the rise is med/low, so if that's not your thing then pass.

[tvshooter]

one more pic

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The denim with all the white spots reminds me a lot of my S0500XX. The thing Texas Cotton were famous for.

Looking for a proper fit pic! (and why did you leave the Samurai Contest, heh? )

[jacoavlu]

thanks for the pics tvshooter

yeah they look speckly with little tufts of weft peaking out

and with wear those slough away in areas of abrasion

the front thighs one mine are much smoother after a week

b_F- i wanted to give someone else the chance to win the contest. perhaps you'll hang in there for this one.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

great fit...man you look totally different on that pic than I remember you

@ tvshooter:

Color on the jeans is sick. Is this true to reality or just my eyes/your camera fucking with my mind?
