Edwin Jeans..

[Maynard Friedman]

I believe the ED range is made in Tunisia.

[Brainboy]

Thanks. So it's not Japan...

[Maynard Friedman]

None of the ED range has ever been made in Japan. ED is the European Division, separate from the main company. Originally I think it was made in Europe, I've had 2 pairs of ED69 (bought in 2005 and 2009) that were made in Italy but now all production seems to have shifted to Tunisia, along with that of the Nashville (previously made in Japan).

Yep, the ED jeans are made in Tunisia. However, there is a 2014 special edition of the ED-55 that is made in Japan. It also features shrink-to-fit denim instead of the regular sanforized stuff. They are available at Son of a Stag: http://www.sonofastag.com/collections/edwin/products/edwin-ed-55-nihonmenpu-japan-made-selvage-jeans

Nice work, Maynard

[volvo240thebest]

excellent job Maynard! You must spend a lot of time sitting on your knees. Don't tell us what you're doing all the time in that position though!!!

[Maynard Friedman]

Haha! I have 3 kids so I'm being a good dad by spending most of my spare time on my knees playing with them!

[heyheyhey]

That's something to think about for the future, impressive knee fadez from/for the family ha

Any sizing advice for the ED-55?

[volvo240thebest]

hi there I have no direct experience with the Ed55 but all other ED models (as well as the Nashvilles) I've tried are vanity sized. my Edwins are all w34 and they all more or less have a 18 inch waist.

oi-polloi have sizing charts which back up what volvo240 said (and also my own experience with Waynesvilles and ED69s):

The Edwin 'ville' range (Nashville, Waynesville, Greenville) was always slightly oversized when it used STF denim and was made in Japan. I think the switch to sanforized denim was made when production moved to Tunisia. I also think that Edwin were probably a bit lazy (as the 'ville' range was a small-scale export only model - eventually rationalised to the Nashville as the other 2 models were dropped completely) and didn't bother cutting new patterns to account for the reduced shrinkage with sanforized denim. Consequently the over-sizing was further exacerbated.

any opinions on the ED-55 in the special Nihon Mempu denim?

[Maynard Friedman]

I'm sure the denim's good but the cut's a bit slim and low rise for my liking. I know they're made in Japan but even so, unless you're getting a deal on them I think £215 is a bit steep.

Took some quick photos today.

I like the one with the button.

The rest is so so.

A bit unfocused. Hard without a tripod.

 

Got shaky hands

I need some size advice regarding the Edwin Overworks Vintage 1940s/1960s Jeans.

 

How much do they shrink, and do they come up large like their other jeans?

 

I usually wear a size 34 in Roy, etc.

[psykx]

Has anyone spoken to edwin recently, they aren't responding to my support requests

Don't know if you read a few pages back, from experience the 60's and 50's cut are massively oversized in the waist. I think I bought a size 30 to fit 32 waist. Dunno about the 40's.

[psykx]

Yes it's edwin Europe I was trying to contact.

 

 

I have three pairs od edwins (denim is edwin - slim tapered, ed 55 and ed 80) all labeled 34 and all measure 36.

I am still trying to find some info regarding these jeans. Is there anything online that give me a guide? How much do they shrink in the waist, if I want a 34 what size should I buy, etc.?
