John Bull / Sewing Chop

[wild style]

^ you bike much or is it from a regular wear?

(the crotch problem)

Yeah, I ride my bike pretty much everyday. Plus, I sag them a little bit, so this happens to all of my jeans.

Repair or reinforce the crotch...no?

Yep, that's the plan (if I ever get around to it).

those look great. the color on the honeycombs is amazing.

Thanks man. They're a bit darker in real life though.

[xerikx]

I also just had my crotch repaired.. I somehow manage to put a lot of crotch wear into my jeans though

[knucks]

Watch out how much material you use when you reinforce the crotch. I had to reinforce the crotch on my APC and they cut into my uh, you know, genital area.

[Tapeman]

man those are so nice....

unfortunately just got emails from BiG and Parachutes, both saying they cant get them...

I got my SC-002's from the Johnbull Private Labo store in Harajuku (http://www.johnbull.co.jp/shop/harajyuku/harajyukupl1.htm) earlier this year and they had a large stock of all cuts. You should look for a proxy that can check this store.

[rome1]

good to know. def one of the best cuts on a jean.

[chronoaug]

What kind of cut is it? I know the 003 and 007 are relatively modern straight fits, with the 007s having a lower rise. I was under the impression the 002s were kind like the samurai 0500s. Am i close?

[knucks]

aren't the 002 a regular repro cut basically? maybe lower rise, but straight leg..

[Tapeman]

The 002's are quite slim with a slight taper. Here are fit pics that I posted in the "fit-thread" a while ago.

It's good to see these getting some attention....

[xerikx]

Here are my John Bull Chop Shop 002's after around 6 months of wear and two washes. Nothing too extravigant since I spend most of my time sitting, but some whiskers are forming as well as intense crotch fade.

The Lumberjack pants are quite tasty

[mkyy]

where can you buy sewing chop except BiG?

[salaami]

sorry to ask a small question here, but are john bulls sewn with all-cotton thread? if yes, these are my next pair...

[Dex_star]

BiG just got in a couple pairs of 002s in size 32 and 30

Just ordered a pair of 32!

damn cant believe he found some, sooooo happy he e-mailed me about em. BiG FTW

Cant wait to get em

Yes they are!

Edit: Hmm, I have two pair of jeans and one jacket from Sewing Chop (the traditional line) and those are with cotton thread but the modern line of John Bull might be with poly-cotton? I don't know?

[Dex_star]

just got my sc-002s

theyre a little bigger in the leg and seat than i thought...

giving them a hot soak right now... but i doubt theyll shrink anymore :/

we'll see how it goes...

they may be up for sale soon

[Caps Lock]

I recently just washed my SC002s and they're starting to stretch out in the waist a little bit. But for some reason in the thighs they havent been stretching so much. I bought them a size 28 but my natural waist size is 32 (30 in New Standards). They were fine before washing with stretching and all. Will they stretch back out to the waist and thigh size accordingly? Or will I loose some inches after washing?

[ggatsby]

so i just copped the last pair of 002's of the BiG sale in a size 27. I wear a 28 in pretty much everything, and looking for a very slim (but not quite skinny) jean, i thought these would be perfect. problem is....theyre HUGE. does anyone know if these shrink a hell of a lot given a hot soak? or are these gonna end up in the supermarket soon?

[wild style]

Mine barely shrunk, even with repeated soaks and washes.

[ggatsby]

aww man =[

to the supermarket these go?

[grail]

What's the approximate hem measurment on these for about a size...32 (in the waist, not tagged size)?

I love skinny jeans, but searching around, I found the hem to be about 6.25, which is way too small.

[Renny]

How long have you been wearing those for? Any chance they're selvege?

[teddycub]

psshhh, unno maybe ~4 months, i dont really keep track. and yes they are selvedge, plain white BABAY!

[Renny]

Sheesh! I'm gonna get my hands on one of these! How much do they cost roughly?

[teddycub]

from BIG they were like 170 usd. pretty cheap.

[grail]

They're unfortunately not available through B.I.G. anymore, and the Johnbull e-store is sold out of them

[ggatsby]

shameless plug here-

i've got a pair of SC002s for sale, raw, unsoaked.

Just wondering, how much do the sc-008s stretch?

[teddycub]

(one washed keep in mind) a 28 had a waist of 30. stretched it out like 4 inches with my butt in a few weeks. washed it and shrunk right back up, but it would then stretch right back out. everything would pretty much stay the same after wash and a couple of days of wear.

Hmm..thats weird..I was checking out one site, stating waist measurements of a size 30 to be 76cm/29.9" around the waist. :confused:
