Hey all,

Just stopped by Japan, looked to pick up some raw denim, wound up with a pair of Edwin 506s. They are NOT selvedge.

I think these are the ones:

My question: are these raw or one-wash? Mine is the first colour option, translated by Google as "wash" (ワンウォッシュ). Does that mean one-wash?

And will this pair wear in fading just as well as raw denim? I'm guessing if it's one-wash, then I shouldn't have to worry about shrinkage in the length?

yeah idk man..

like when I put a bit of water (or saliva??) on a tissue and wipe across the jeans, it bleeds blue.

not sure how this compares with raw denim..but i'm hoping for some similar fading. i don't want to waste ~6mo of my life for minimal fades :S

For the Sen's, yes. they come up big by about 1 size and they give probably 1 more after a few days wear.

I think you go 2 sizes down (from measured size) rather than up, e.g. if your waist is a measured 32, buy a tagged 30. I sized down one on all my Waynesvilles but they're very loose and I should really have sized down 2. I also sized down 2 on my latest ED69s after going TTS on the previous pair and they're a much better fit.

My holiday jeans - Edwin Vintage Collection 506, bought on sale locally (in Australia, surprised?)

Retailed at around 22,000 yen I think - but surprisingly few of them around...I don't even know if Edwin is keeping the vintage collection alive or not.

Pretty much the best of what Edwin makes, alongside their repro work for Lee and Wrangler.

Denim is 13 to 13.5 oz - aged quite quickly for only 1 month wear, probably due to the tropical heat in the Taiwanese Summer of '09.

Here are my Edwin Waynesvilles that have become summer jeans only as they're so loose. I've had them for 6 years but they've only had around 1 years wear and tons of washes. Back into the wardrobe until next May now!

They've just superseded those and replaced them with black patches and a silver logo instead of tan and added black rivets, and a twisted front pocket. Im thinking about copping a pair of the tan patch again just to put away.

I don't mind the cinch you hardly even know its there really and you get used to the pockets.

I just finally washed my pair after 12 months wear and they came up with a pretty nice rinsed effect.

Oh, forgot to mention. I know others have talked about how the SEN's are vanity sized, but man, I didnt know it would be this much.

Im about a 30.5 inch naked waist so I thought the 29 waist would be perfect. I could have probably gone with the 28, if I wanted it to be a snug fit. These have a little extra room.

So, if anyone is considering the SEN skinnys, dont be afraid to size down a lot.

^ Yep, add in that most of the denim Edwin uses stretches a LOT.

E.g. In the older SEN and BT series jeans, I use to buy size 30/31 (even though my waist was 34), and after a month after the stretching is done, they would sit perfectly.
