Boncoura

[Aries]

It’s like a fragrance advert for depressed old men.

Hi guys,

 

How many pairs of Boncoura do you own?   Any favorite jeans and pieces?  

[d-rew12]

I only have the 66, but I love them! It's been a love/hate relationship but great jeans. I want to try the detergent just for novelty. A while back I saw they had a really nice sweater but was very expensive. I was also browsing alpha shadows again looking at what they had and saw prices went up. Glad I grabbed mine when I did.

Lovely jacket, might pick one up if they make it again.
Just hard to justify when I already have my Ooe one that I love!

[MJF9]

Yes lovely jacket @bartlebyyphonics, great fit, particularly like the collar/button detail... developing nicely.

[bartlebyyphonics]

thank you both kind sirs!

[and just to share the basics, doesn't shrink too much [it is receiving 15 min front loader 40c washes], seems to be all cotton stitching - hence lovely puckers - is generously sized everywhere [wearing a 38 whereas for lvc jkt would wear a 44] except for length - but that makes it a nice hoverer between blouson and chore... loving the scalloped front... as wearing it between jkt & shirt the collar is expected first place of blow out / fatigue]

I like my Boncoura been wearing the jeans for a good few years now and have a couple of jackets and chino trousers. 

My only gripes would be on both my pairs of Z jeans the zips broke, I like the fit but the zip puts me off purchasing them again.  

Have a couple of pairs of 66 as well and the stitching around the crotch has needed to be reinforced as was coming loose. This happened on my most recent pair after only a few weeks wear. 

Final gripe is the pricing has been gradually been getting more and more expensive year on year, which I don’t mind if the quality matches.

They make some great material both the denim and chino cloth is superior to others I have tried and their fit is perfect for me but the construction of the clothes could be improved imo.

Hello from Thailand.  Hardly worn my Boncoura 66 since April summer months.  Been sticking to the looser Orslow Dad's Fit 101.

Thank you. I’m kind of not wanting to wear it too often now since I really like the look of it now.  I do have the xx too but currently too hot over in Thailand.   Looking forward to see your xx on here.   

[MJF9]

@vexed_wear excellent!

[Broark]

Boncoura has an official online store now, thinking about trying out one of their shirts.

No sizing charts available it seems? But the jeans are too short anyways

[d-rew12]

Gives you an excuse to rock the Hayashi-san look 

But tempted to grab another pair, but not sure if I want to go 66 again or go for the XX

[Collin]

Go XX !

 

even the short inseam is way too long for my small 170cm ahaha!

 

the last pictures from @vexed_wear are really nice !

Heyo!

 

I have a pair of Boncoura 66 in size 29 that I'm looking to sell. They have VERY little wear. I'll post up some picture later. 
 

I'd sell for $120 shipped in the US. 
 

 

[Smallrod]

Anyone have measurements for 66’ in a size 34?

[istewi]

And pictures of the 29s for sale. Shout if you're interested.

[nycsurfer530]

Geez seeing all these pairs make me think of a Boncoura contest... 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Force them to do a longer inseam and you might have more people on board

But I agree, that would be something nice

Was just about to say this. I'm pretty short myself, but Boncoura's inseams are pree damn short haha

[vexed_wear]

How does Boncoura 66 inseam length compared with orslow 107?

[d-rew12]

My old 66s after a cold wash came out to be about 30.5" if that's anything to go by.
