Boncoura

[Broark]

Wore them today for the first time, happy to report that the inseam didn't shrink up too much.

I'll take some post wash measurements tomorrow for you. They feel a little snug in the thigh but manageable. I still think this denim is heavier than the quoted weight. Not sure what it is but I really like these jeans so far!

[Broark]

@d-rew12 here's the measurements after I wore them for a day.

Waist: 37 in.
Front rise: 11.75 in.
Back rise: 16 in. (might've stretched this back to raw measurements?)
Thigh: 13.25 in.
Knee: 9.25 in.
Hem: 8.5 in.
Inseam: 30.5 in.

[volvo240thebest]

those measurements look great. look forward to see your post soak fit. To be honest the pre soak fit you posted looked like your best fit ever...

[d-rew12]

Thanks for the measurements, they look pretty good. Still happy I went with the 66 but both seem like great fits. Also curious to see some post soak fits!

[JDelage]

That's a pretty aggressive taper from thigh to knee.

Thigh: 13.25 in.
Knee: 9.25 in.
Hem: 8.5 in.

Ask and ye shall receive! I'll try to get a better photo, but this is all I've got right now.
The denim is still pretty stiff, so it's doing a weird kind of stacking thing along the leg. But I think it'll settle with some wear.
Really enjoying these jeans, been getting compliments on the fit. Still curious as to how heavy the denim actually is.

thanks for the details - love the pocket fabric and cinch!

never got around to take pictures of my pairs - personally, I find they have a touch too much taper which should make them quite appealing to some...

Just copped a pair of offwhite Boncouras at the Drake's outlet in London for - drum roll - £32! 

They had two pairs left, both size 32, and  I really hope they don't shrink, because it's the smallest size 32 I've ever tried on. A perfect 30, I'd say. 

Probably old stock, the patch appears to be different from the ones currently offered at Drake's and Alpha Shadows. 

My co-worker bought the other pair later, and I forced him to tell the shop assistant that we're not a couple buying matching jeans, haha. 

Edit: must be one-washed with this level of leg twist and roping going on. Phew, relieved.

That's pretty awesome! I don't really like natural/off-white denim usually, but the photos I've seen of the jeans at Alpha Shadows look pretty sweet.

[mandel9000]

I know what you mean, @Broark. I find that white (or natural) denim often looks too preppy, depending on what's worn with it of course. But I really dig it when done right, like Paul Weller in the eighties. Simple and cool. 

I guess I just have to do it right then 

[volvo240thebest]

I personally like white denim it works well with many different things including blue denim! That's a S C O R E! Lucky you!

Doth protest too much?

[Niro]

That's one hell of a bargain. I wouldn't normally buy white/off-white jeans but at £32 hell yea

[garden gnomes in space]

I think you'll be able to pull off the white denim madel.  Its definitely a "look"  but its a nice one

[Broark]

Been wearing my XX's a bit more, I like how the denim is breaking in.
Holding off a little longer before their first wash (besides the initial one), I like how crisp the denim is still.

Have been reading all the boncoura chitchat in this forum. Conclusion: must cop boncoura 66.

Since i never have any experience with sanforized denim, im kinda juggling around whether i should go for 31 or 32 size (i notice boncoura shrinks a lot on waist and thigh, is it?)...my goal is to achieve slim relaxed fit , instead of snug or tight fit. 

And Mostly i wear tagged-size 30. 

Guys help me with some suggestion? My comfort waist measurement is between 32".

Big-Big Thanks..

:here also i include the pics of my goal fit.

U are absolutely right.. ..My mistake. Thanks for noticing.

Hows the shrinkage, is it shrink a lot on the waist? 1-2 inch maybe.

Thanks

[d-rew12]

I cold washed mine but I didn't get a lot of shrink (probably why) in the waist and pretty much stretched back out. 

[edmond]

Size 32 one wash but will shrink maybe 3 percent more

Thanks Ed.

Damnn..This is gonna be some serious slim tight fit..the thigh measurement seems different than what I got from other sources(Rakuten, loftma)...

I wear tag size 30 - 31 on most brands..I think have to take further size up...

Really hate it when it comes to find the right size..

[Broark]

I'd say just go with the XX cut instead, but I'm biased because I really like my XX's.

Big style baby

[Broark]

Just a quick update on my XX's, I love these jeans. I might even say they're my favorite pair in my whole collection.
Worn for maybe 2 months and two washes? I've lost count honestly. They're due for another wash shortly.

I had to cop a pair of Boncoura moleskin bakers pants from Alpha Shadows in the UK.  88 quid, nocked down from 295 or about $100, figured what the fuck.  Waist might be a bit snug as Im still in my fat phase and am doing nothing about that until our kitchen remodel is done.  Then I will eat lettuce and drink water for a month so all my shit will fit again.
