SOMET Denim

[poly800rock]

INTEREST CHECK:

suppose i'm able to order directly from SOMÉT with my credit card for cost + shipping + 10%... who would be interested? this would work out to about a 25% savings over what i paid to order initially. i wouldn't be able to do returns, so you'd need to figure your own size out, and i'd like to get maybe 4 or 5 pairs ordered total...

it would probably work like so: you paypal me a deposit of actual cost +10% to fund the purchase, then follow up with actual shipping costs once i get everything from SOMÉT and i ship them to you.

if i get enough interest expressed here, i'll confirm w/ the SOMÉT folks that they're still willing to hook me up and we'll press on...

i would have to recind my no more denim rule

[poly800rock]

ok, here are some photos of them on me. excuse the janky photoshop levels adjustment - it's dark out and this is all the time i've got. the color you see isn't accurate, but you can get a pretty good idea of the fit.

updates on the wear?

[Akura]

The Basic Straight leg is 21000 yen which is rougly $180USD... someone said $300..Snugglepony i'd be interested in getting a pair if you plan on buying in bulk.

[prufrock]

denim porn as usual.

[dnarnya]

i'd probably be interested. pm me with details as they come

[snugglepony]

Will we get a toiletry bag?!

quite possibly(!?) my homegirl jamie is leaving at the end of the month, so i don't know if we'll still get presents, but we'll see...

updates on the wear?

they're being rotated along with the rest of my jeans, so they've only got about 3 weeks of total wear... plus, they're black denim, so i'm guessing they'll take a while to show anything major. don't worry, though -- i'm not going anywhere and neither are the SOMÉTs... you'll see more of them when it's worth the time.

price-wise, the basic straight jean is 21000jpy, the black is 23100, and the heavier model (14.5 instead of 13.8, i believe) is 24150. i'll email jamie tomorrow and find out what the deal is...

[poly800rock]

bump? info?

[snugglepony]

looks like everything's on track - i need to fax CC info to SOMET (first time w/ a fax to japan, so i want to make sure everything's secure &c...) and we should be good to go... i'll post an update as soon as we're dialed in...

are you by any chance a 29

[ddohnggo]

is snugglepony buying the somets as a service for people?

[snugglepony]

that's my plan... it's just a little more complicated since i can't walk into a store and grab them, and it involves sending my credit card info to japan. i'll update as soon as i get everything set up - hopefully next week?

Of course, some of them are very few, so if you and your friends want to

so...anyone still interested in scoring a pair of SOMETs, PM me and let me know what size you want and i'll have jamie hold them for a bit until i collect $$ and place the order. btw, most of the jeans are hemmed at 90 or 92cm, but you can specifiy an inseam length and they'll hem them for free (w/ chainstitch).

[snugglepony]

to figure out your sizes, these measuring instructions from SOMET might help when used in concert with the size table available on their website:

[susljik]

I have a pair of men's black straight Somet in size 34, they are too big for me, I've already ordered a smaller pair, but I want to sell the size 34. They are brand new, I just tried them on once. I will accept PayPal, Total sales price including shipping to the US is US$240.

if you are interested you can email under [email protected]

[Trimalchio]

What's the difference between those and the indigo "power push" on that section of the website?

[snugglepony]

black straights are 13oz.

indigo straights are 13.8oz.

indigo straights (from the powerpush section) are 14.5oz.

the cut is the same.

[btw - $240 is a little higher than you'll probably pay through me, but not too much. it's a fair price.]

[ddohnggo]

how did your somets come out to $300?

[snugglepony]

because of all the fees associated with an international bank transfer (initiation fee on my end, SOMET's fee, jacked exchange rate, etc.)

for this order, they're letting me use a credit card so: no fees, no jacked rate, etc.

[poly800rock]

whats the shrinkage in length and stretch in the waist on these? anyone know?

[snugglepony]

i got very little length shrinkage and zero waist shrinkage after an hourlong room temp. soak.

[snugglepony]

ok, SOMET's got my CC on file, so we're ready to go...

ddml?

minya?

Trimalchio?

LFC4ever?

again, an order will require SOMET's standard retail price + 10% + actual shipping...

lemme know via PM...

[poly800rock]

you got pm

[digital_denim]

I'm really tempted but with BIG purchases and pending boot purchases, i'm way over my head in debt. But thanks for the hook up, i'm sure i'll regret this down the line since i don't have black denim.

so i'm measuring myself sidebone for these and am kind of confused, when you ordered, did you just pick your size from the site or did you send measurements, my sidebone measurement is 33" but almost all my jeans are a 30" waist, even the studios 103's which hang low, how low do these hang? i'm thinking i should just get a 30 and let it be, let me know what you did and i'll probably follow suit.

[Akura]

you can message SOMET and ask them if they will help you with size but I usually wear a 28 and i did the measurements and they came out to be a 30 but they said that i should get the 28's. The sites measurements are confusing.

[poly800rock]

30 it is then...i've been had and bought too big before, will buy regular size and see how it works out, worked for studios and seemed to work for you

fuck, size 30 measures 32" on their site...WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!

[minya]

I have too many jeans as it is

poly,

i sent my measurements to somet and they recommended a 31 which was perfect. i'm a 30 in APC NS, 32 in imperial, 32 in nudie, etc.

they're fairly low rise, so they will sit lower than your SDAs, but honestly, that size chart on the website is spot-on. measure a low-ish rise pair of jeans and compare and you'll be fine. alternately, the somet folks are awesome and will recommend a size for you based on measurements.

everyone who's PMed me about ordering: i'll contact you this weekend with my paypal and we'll hopefully get the order placed next week.

jeans won't disappoint...

[poly800rock]

pm'd you snuggle.
