Boncoura

[Broark]

These are looking good Ed, Boncoura XX will probably be my next pair of jeans at this rate.

[edmond]

you should man yes. i swear just a pair from them and let the results speak for itself. selfedge is carrying them soon. contact kiya asap

[Broark]

Once SE gets them I'll cop a pair no doubt, need a little longer inseam than they currently have. Denim looks really good.

[edmond]

What se will get is the linger inseam ones made for them

[Broark]

Fear not ya'll.. longer inseams are coming.

 

Ed, this was Kiya's kinda-cryptic way of saying they'll have longer inseams. 

[Broark]

Yo Kiya, any word on when we can expect the Boncoura jeans to land on the SE website?

I saw your Instagram story post, and I'm jonsin' for a pair of the XX jeans with a longer inseam...

I would say it's going to be November or so.. the ones they produce currently shrink to about 29", which is far too short for most people.  We have to do multiple samples making sure their intended fit is retained before moving forward with a production run.

That brings a question to mind - I just ordered a pair from here in sz 33 - http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/coupy/item/bcj-66/?s-id=borderless_recommend_item_en

 

Can anyone tell if they're sanforised?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

AFAIK all Boncoura jeans (at least the XX and 66) are unsanforized

[Aries]

Bugger, might need to contact and see f they can go up to a 34 before shipping, that extra inch is crucial (I've set it up Maynard!).

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I'm always curious why people ask those questions AFTER they have ordered

Perfect, plenty of time for me to keep wearing my 1702XX's before breaking in another pair of jeans.

I can also write it off as a birthday present to myself if it's in November.

Fair point B_F; I assumed until I read Kiya's post, ass-u-me I guess etc.!

[Aries]

Received my Boncoura 66s in sz34, just thrown in hot bath water for 45 now drying, will post up pics when done.

 

Pre-soak fit was great, I think they should shrink to a perfect straight leg fit...

Id be interested in some post soak measurements when you get around to it

[Aries]

Sure GGiS, I'll measure later when they're off.

Denim is wonderful

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Fit looks good! Did you go for the size up?

[Aries]

Thanks b_F, did indeed go for the size up.

[jigsaw]

I love the fit and the length pretty much on point.

[mikecch]

Great fit mate, length looking pretty OK too.

[bod]

Fit looks on point I wonder how long the SE inseams will be..

[Aries]

Size 34 post-soak measurements (1 day wear):

Waist - 34

Thigh - 12

Front rise - 12

Back rise - 15

Hem - 8ish

Inseam - 30

[garden gnomes in space]

That's a good one. With cinch-backs it'll be nice to have the longer inseam, hope they are available soon.

[d-rew12]

Those look great. I'm still waiting for Alpha Shadows to re-stock. I really want a pair!

[Broark]

I'm holding out for a longer inseam version of the XX jeans, definitely going to be my next pair whenever SE gets them in stock.

[Flash]

The Boncoura denim is probably one of the nicest faded denims I've ever seen , really nice blues that come through but for this model I'd prefer the cinch to be in its proper place since it is basicly a levis repro

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I haven't seen enough examples of faded Boncoura jeans to make up my mind
