Alright, I'm thinking about the Shoais. Ignore my sig, I'm fucking HOPELESS.

My worry is that there won't be one that fits me. I'm a 35 in Samurai, a 36 in SDA, a 34 in Iron Heart. The Shoais will stretch a fair bit, being 19 oz, so on the waist I can probably do a 34 and start with a cold/warm instead of hot soak.

But the thing is, I've got PBJ 007s in a 36, the bottom half of the thighs are as tight as they can comfortably be. Is the 34 gonna fit me, will the 36 be baggy as fuck after it stretches out? Should I save the credit card debt for something better fitting? Augh!

Holy shit, 38" inseam (prewash). SOLD (maybe)

I'm hopeless too, but it's just kinda hard to pass something like that up.

bump. just picked up a pair of Oni-vedge Blues in sz 30 for 200 on BIG...i have a natural waist of 32 and im really hoping these will stretch perfectly to a 32... crossing my fingers

Posted

^^^^ fit pics please......I have been wanting to see how these look besides the pics on BIG.....:)

Posted

yay received my Oni Vedge Blues today!

surprisingly, the back pocket selvage acrtutate actually dont look as bad as I though tit would. Was planning on taking off the selvage arctuate but ill be keeping it.

Pre-soak fit seems very nice. fits my waist perfectly which means post-soak itll be tight but hopefully will stretch.

Denim...jesus christ the denim is a whole omething else. I love the slubbiness of these things. grade cheese on my knees if i wanted to.

Anyway, I'll take some pre and post soak pics when i get off work.

are you sure you meant to put "denim free" in your sig (i.e. you don't own any denim at all) and not 'no new denim"?

You buy too many jeans. But thats ok because most of us do haha.

what. i buy too many jeans? last pair of jeans i bought is the Sufu Warehouse denim which i sold due to bad fit. before that is a pair of Diors i bought a year and half ago.

Wow really? My bad bro I could've sworn I saw you post a bunch of denim pickups recently on latest pickups thread. Mistaken identity.

Nice pickup on those Oni's though, I'm undecided if I wana pull the trigger on the natural indigo 'vage's. Feels like I'm spending too much but its hard when you see the word "SALE".

yeah its all good. i rarely buy denim cuz i hate having too many pairs to break in all at once. i'l be wearing these for a good 6-8 months then starting on my sammies that ill be picking up in late March (unfortauntely wil be sitting off to the side for months...)

Posted

just home repaired my oni's (the first pair ive ever done), turned out pretty well. im gonna take pictures of these tomorrow, if theres enough sunlight. i really really like the contrast, and the unique material.

after a 2 hour soak in hottest tap water, changed out twice. i am very satisfied with the fit. Stuck a hanger in the waistband so it would not shrink too much. Fortunately, waist band shrunk very minimally. Sat around for an hour with the top button undone and finally was able to button it. So here are the fit pics post-soak (didnt take pre-soak unfortunately).

Sorry the pictures are blurry.

not nearly sagged as i would be normally wearing it. just cant get the pants down even an inch...waist is tight as hell

Still tryign to decide if i should take the back pocket arctuate off...probably should've just gone with the Oni Blue instead of Oni-Vedge Blue but it was still 25$ cheaper on sale so used that money towards 2nd day shipping. What do you guy sthink? take off acrtuate?

Posted

^ Those fit nice fmbh. Although I'm a bit surprised they look pretty skinny/slim for a supposed 'regular' fit cut.

Personally I'd probably prefer the arctuate off, but they don't really look bad at all or nothing. Nothing wrong with keeping them either if you like them.

i gave my blues a 2 hour hot soak as well. just to be sure i got the shrinkage out of the way i gave them a hot wash and dry and they shrank up at least half again as much, so beware if they are that tight after only a soak. they do stretch out a lot though.

Posted

yeah im letting them completely dry, then ill check measurments and see if i need another soak. for now, it looks like they shrunk quite a bit. knee was measuring around 8.5, leg opening rougly below 8, thigh 11.5. perfect slim fit that i've been looking for. owuldnt hurt if it shrunk a tiny bit more but we'll see after it drys up

Keep the arcuate. Looks good!

Posted

That fit looks good........i dont think the arcs are that bad.....i would just rock them.....they are white so maybe they will get darker as time goes on (indigo and dirt)

Posted

i think it just looks better on. before i actually received it, I was set on just removing it since it looks very easy to to just unstitch.

but the very slight resemblance of Rock and Republic back pockets is what turns me off from it.

but def keeping.

Posted

I know this isn't much at all but I want to post this up to keep record.

exactly 6 days of wear everyday and the creases seem to be pretty nicely set in.

color should be alot darker...

fmbh, those look great. and very nice fit. i just ordered the regular blues from BIG and hopefully will be getting them tomorrow. I'm wearing them almost 100% for work only and continuing to wear my s5000vx for leisure, but the pics are definitely getting me excited to receive my pair. what a great looking pair of jeans, even when brand new.
