If I decide that the sizing can work, I'm in on the contest with a pair of 400R.

...400T is what i'm eyeing!

b_F let me know before you going to order buddy!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I will! I hope they have enough in stock by the time

[Sugar Mountain]

Anyone thinking about the other cuts offered by UES? I will be buying the 400R. The only concern I have is with the back rise but fuck it, I'll manage. 

[Bill_e_jean]

400s would be my weapon

[aho]

Sorry guys, already found the winner and it's a little girl:

I really am tempted to jump in on this but shouldn't/can't/musn't for obvious reasons. I'll have to do some real hard thinking...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

pass the WWII dungaree contest

[aho]

^Still have Ooe and Devi's to work on! And knowing how tough UES are, I couldn't do the jeans justice for a contest in under half a year of wear...I'll keep you posted!

Damn the 400T looks good! I'm going to try to get on board on this one

[Somar]

Hey everybody, if you order this month (november) you'll get a handmade hanger for free!

Hmm Rivet & hide's 400T the same cut as the ones UES sell?

Or they measure thigh different maybe..?

[llvlaglne]

Themeasurements from the UES site are the one washed version

The measurements from the R&H site are the raw versions

[rustygoose]

Yup i understand that, but Rivets thigh after soak is ~13.5 & UES 12.6 on a 34w.

 

13.5 is very generous, even i consider the cut then with my fat legs..

[llvlaglne]

How about this, when mine arrive I'll take presoak and post soak measurments

Anything to get more people in on this contest

[aho]

lol that damn hanger might push me over the edge...

[Sugar Mountain]

The way in which UES and R&H measure is also quite different. Take this into account when comparing measurements. I think the R&H method is closer to what most of us are used to (SE/BIG methods).

Anyone planning to order together to take advantage of the free shipping?

[frank]

Wow, the denim looks and ages great. I might join at the end of this month with a pair of the 400R. Damn they look great.

This is very true. Check our how we measure guide http://rivetandhide.com/measurement-guide/

Also one wash jeans go through a vigorous machine wash which will always yield a little extra shrinkage than a couple of hand washes. The agitation of the machine wash is the main reason.

[bradl]

I have been locked on the UES site, and just stunned at all of their products. I can't believe I have never really looked into them, all of their shirts, caps, and their sweats...

Trying so hard not to just pull the trigger on a pair right now. I am wondering what the general pair would be, the 400r or s?

 

Looking at the s, seem to be inbetween the 33 and 34. Perfect waist is a 86, and 34 is 88. Think that would probably be the best size.

I think most of us western customers would prefer the 400T for its rise and inseam, but the 400sand 400r will find their customers as well. In japan there seem to be many fans of the 400B (Bootcut) as well, judging by their catalogue of faded pairs.

[frank]

It's so tempting to just pull the trigger right now. However, I'm in between sizes, I'm not sure how much the denim stretches, and the rise on the 400R does seem a little low according to someone in the other thread. Ah, decisions, decisions. 

[Sugar Mountain]

^^ Max Power - just to note that the 400R and 400S are now offered with longer inseams too.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

They also offer the R and S version in a long version since a few days

[Max Power]

Thank you, but I need the rise of the T. (I had to buy a suit this weekend and was struggeling to find the right words to describe, why I don't wear short rise pants).

Damn, I'm excited for this contest.

[Max Power]

@ b_f: my cellphone doesn't work where I am right now. Sent you a PM, so let's get this on track before I run out of money and courage.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I already wondered! Just a moment

[volvo240thebest]

this is much intriguing. I like the 400t cut, and I've been looking for a second pair with a narrower hem than the TBC (pretty large at 24 cm). I'd really love to give a try to the Zim cotton. Might pull the trigger! I'm only torn about the sizing. my waist is 35.6 inches ATM. Should I squeeze into the 34 (35 inch waist post soak) or go with the 36 (36.2 post soak)? Anyone here knows how much the Zimbabwe cotton usually shrinks back with wear? the other measurements look pretty perfect either size.
