Reviving an old thread because I wrote another thing:

Otherwise, have at some photo

 

 

Excellent review! Big John is really underrated for a brand with such a long rich history

Quick pic of my Kuro2 jeans. Really like the look of them at moment. The black is now a dull black with subtle vertical streaks of indigo along the front.

Some time in the next few days I'm planning on doing an update / review on my R008's. In preparation, here are some weirdly-posed, very non-candid fit pics from day 0 that I don't think I ever got around to posting…

Very slim-fitting and low rise, but a good cut overall!

The fit looks good. Look forward to seeing them with shoes for a complete fit look.

Next, fast-forward to ~6–8 months of wear:

Color is closest to true in the last photo. Despite fading fairly quickly, there's more blue in these than any other synthetic-dyed jeans I've owned, I think.

Purchased these Rare 008 in October of 2018 from @julian-wolf They have about 6-8 months of actual wear time. I have a desk job so I don't wear my denim hard but I am able to wear denim everyday. The fit pic is closest to their actual color. I wasn't able to get great pictures because it's overcast and raining.

I bought these when I was in the worst shape of my life, which makes these jeans the baggiest pair that I own. I don't care because they are so comfortable. These were my favorite pair until I bought the OOE OA02xx3. I do wish they used this fabric in a similar cut with a higher rise because this fabric has become my absolute favorite denim that I own.

Hell yeah, those are looking great! Glad you’ve been able to put some wear into them; I would’ve felt bad having them just sit in my closet.

Agreed 100% on the fabric. I’m not usually into faster-fading denim like this, but they absolutely nailed it. If they put out a pair of higher-rise, better-constructed jeans sewn up from this or something similar I’d have ‘em in a second.
