I'm really pleased with these, happy with the fit and the quality of the denim is really lovely. They're having a long warm soak and a drip dry then i'll start wearing them

got mine today! gonna catch up on u guys so watch out lol

[mousemouse]

A bit OT, a question about my Devis D66: the bottom/bobbin thread in one of the front pocket stitching broke so the top thread is loose. Will this get worse? Do I just cut the loose top thread? Do I need to get this repaired before it gets worse? Right now its only 4-5 stitches.

That's a relatively easy fix.

Seconded . Too hot in London for denim right now.

After wearing these hard for a couple of weeks there are no real signs of wear.

[Capsicum Fried Meat]

haha I just get used to wear denim under high temperature. Actually I feel half naked without wearing denim.

[LC_Miey]

Forgot to change the photo setting, picture came out very small. Just to get this thread going

 

 

[rustygoose]

Fading to a very grey-blueish color..

 

But pretty stubborn so far, no fades worth pics yet

[kimi]

Mine also not getting alot of wear right now due to the uncommonly good weather here in the UK.. Trousers only getting a look in of an evening for now.. No worries, it won't last long.

Hoggy, you should grab a pair of these.

Glad you're back in my friend, it seems a few aren't wearing these in the heat so i'm sure you're already caught up!

Did anyone size down on their pair  I sized up and its still a little big after 2 washes and dry (with stretch).

 

Wondering how sizing down worked for people and anyone did it. 

[drapygo]

I bought the smallest size 28. Would have sized down more but it still feels a bit big. Or rather I don't think I'm used to such high-rise.

Will take fit shots when i get the chance.

[aho]

Not sure if I could've sized down, the waist is pretty tight on mine given my high rise gut...

[efujobu1]

Im looking for a simllar fit as kimi up there. I have to take a look at the raw 28s or 30s.  Drapygo, whats you're height/weight? (if you dont mind me asking.

[SLAB]

its bloody warm here for a change so I haven't really worn them yet.

I took TTS, not sure if i could have sized down as its already nicely fitted around the belly (seriously high rise on these)

[LC_Miey]

That is a good fit tv !

 

I agree on the high rise, it makes choosing tops to wear abit trickier. For me the high rise looks good with shirts or short (classic/vintage) tshirts and I do not own too many of them...

 

About the hot weather, the denim breathes quite well actually once it started to soften up . 

[drapygo]

I am 6'1, weigh like 130-150. Super skinny. These are worn above my waistline.

I hot soaked these twice. Hot soaked and then dried. Then repeated.

 

 

 

 

 

My buttons are rusting already.

 

[efujobu1]

^^looks good! I emailed Taichi-San so I can get a 30 a few days back but no reply yet.

We'll see.
