Denime

[Frost]

Bought I think late 2015 or early 2016, so I'd say new owner already. No quality issues so far except for chainstitch threads running loose, but they were hemmed by Denimio so it's not Denime's fault

So it looks like Denime are reintroducing red tabs across their line with new SKU's for each model. From what I've gathered so far the new red tabbed models are:

66 Type Non Wash - DB15-001

66 Type One Wash - DB15-002

XX Non Wash - DB15-003

XX One Wash - DB15-004

66 Type One Wash Extra Size (40" - 42") - DB15-005

WWII One Wash - D16-254

Theres no new 66xx yet and current inventory are being sold off at 50% retail on the official denime webshop.

They have this 50% off for the 66XX quite a while. It's a bit sad to what the new Denime turned out to be. But maybe their jeans are still good?

[Frost]

I still like my pair of 66XX I got a couple of years ago.(late 2015/early 2016).

[bod]

Probably just as good BF I just hope the 66xx returns with a not too low rise

My Denime XX-type collection, from left to right, (brand new, half year, 2.5 years)
XX-type is always to best model of Denime, quality and beautiful fading are guaranteed.
It is my all time favorite, nice regular cutting, tough and strong fabric.
The details, for example the rivets, the stitching and craftsmanship, are very close to the old Levi's. Not too good, and not too bad, just truly copying from the original Levi's.
It is common that JP replica denim brands having too much obsession to tidiness and precision (it is the Japanese's personality), and their craftsmanship is just too clean (too over) for working garment

Denime Lee 101B and 1951 model

The 101B is cozy to wear at summer, because of its wide cut and light weight left-hand denim.
However, the overall quality is below standard, as the dye of indigo is quite brief, not having a dark blue color after the first soak.
It is foreseeable that after long time wearing, the 101B will not have a high contrast fading of dark and light blue color.

For the 1951 model, I didn't wear much, just for collection. I am not sure if it is a right pair to purchase, because the fading is questionable... may be it is much safer to buy the XX-type instead of 1951 type?

Great posts and nice XX 

[Maynard Friedman]

Excellent Jeff! Which era Denime are they - Shins, Orizzonti, other?

[Jeff_ffej]

The tag of the 2 old XX-type are removed, I'm not sure. And the brand new XX-type is shins.

The Lee model is from my friend, and he said it's an "European edition"

Don't know if anyone is looking at this thread anymore, but I have an opportunity to pick up a pair of 66xx Shins era, but I need some sizing help. These pair are a size 31 and the waist is measuring 32 inches, but I would love if I could eventually get these to stretch closer to 32.5 to 33 inches. Does anyone remember how these used to stretch back in the day? Thanks!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Is that pair still raw or already washed and worn? Usually the 66XX shrinks from tag size. So to get a size 31 to 33" is really pushing it. And it's not just the waist also the hips are quite straight and snug. Based on that I wouldn't advise to get a size 31 if you need a 33" waist. But of course I might be wrong

[specialchild]

Thanks for the info! I'm trying to get more info from the seller right now, but from my estimate they have been worn for about 3-4 months, maybe one wash.

 

I'm a pretty skinny dude so I'd prefer thighs on the slimmer side anyways, but I really couldn't manage if the waist got smaller than 32 inches. Obviously they might right after a wash, but I'd need them to fairly quickly stretch back out haha.

 

Might just pick them up anyways, give em a try, and just sell them if they won't work out. The price is too good to pass up.

And here is a link to some images if you're curious b_F !

Nice looking pair! I guess the 32" are already stretched to the max for the current owner. But maybe it will give some more if you apply more pressure on the denim. No guarantee though. 

If the price is reasonable and you are willing to take the risk, then go for it by all means

Interested to hear if he removed the tab or if it was an overseas model.

Not mine

 A quick look at Denime's wholesale options shows the red tab on all jeans, yep.

Ended up getting my hands on a pair of the 20th Anniversary jeans, so I'm letting my Shins-era Black 66's go: https://supertalk.superfuture.com/classifieds/item/295-denime-shins-era-black-66-size-32/

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Nice pick-up! Where did you get them from?

[edmond]

Found these ww2 denime in my archives

 

 

[bod]

Just bought a pair of one washed 66xx direct from Denime using the buysmart service so lets see how this goes!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

At 50% I was also thinking about a pair in size 36...
