Ooe Yofukuten x S&S: Official Contest Thread 2016

Damn! That blue really pops...I have a good feeling about where we'll all be in a few months...

[lsaylor]

[/url] ">http:// [/url]  I am getting the bands as well. The fit is more generous in the seat than I am used to. I went TTS +2, maybe I could have gone +1. I am happy with the denim. It is starting to show some nuance.

Kind of amazed at how soft and comfortable these are already. I have pretty much only been wearing them around the house after work and a bit on the weekend and they are already quite cozy.

[aho]

FWIW, IMO, nothing wrong with any of the fits on here that I've seen. Keep in mind these probably have more shrink in them yet, and speaking for myself personally, looser is always better than too tight especially when it comes to comfort! With more wear they'll also soften up in the seat etc. so no worries there either

[lsaylor]

yes, the same thing happened to me with my Resolutes and they quickly became my favorites. My taste is changing to this type of fit as opposed to a shorter rise and a greater taper. I am looking forward to the next phase in the evolution when they soften and drape better.

I agree, everyone's fits look very good. I am surprised at how varied they are, these jeans are obviously very versatile. Curious to know how much everyone sized up, I only sized up 1 from what I would normally go for. 

 

Also!   lsaylor, those look great, like the way those fit you a lot.

My waist is about 35" (34" on a good day) and I went with 36.  This was the right choice but 35 would have been fine too since this denim will likely stretch where it needs to.

 

I was a little surprised when I saw 37 on the tagged inseam since the target was 34" after wash, but maybe Ooe plans on 3" of shrinkage.  What are you all seeing? ... or maybe it's too soon to tell.

[givemefive]

I didn't measure pre, but I had stock ~36 or 36.5 inseam and am now at 34" after washing 60C hot 3 times.

Waist 3rd time was exactly 33 on a sz 35.

Could have probably gone with my original sz 34 but I have now lost 20lbs and will probably lose 10 more in the next 12 months due to marathon training.. Would have been pretty hard to fit had I not lost that weight. Really like how they fit though, if jeans are too tight they give me back pain and heartburn issues (lol)

I asked for a 33 inseam and my pair says 36 so I think that they expect 3" of shrinkage. I haven't really measured it but pretty sure my pair shrank somewhere in that vicinity. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Like you guys already said: only great fits!

[tigerstrom]

My pair have cleared the swedish customs and is on its way to me now! If I'm lucky I will have them tomorrow! I plan to wash them two times in hot water before I wear them!

Edit 15/4:

I hate the swedish postal service. They haven't even shipped them to me yet. Just cleared the customs. They have do much to do they say..

Was grabbing a slice of pizza today and the lighting was nice out, not much roping going on yet.

And the color in comparison to my MF Appaloosa.

[Bobbo]

That denim looks so good, roping or not.

 

Now keep it up boys and make this another epic contest!

[givemefive]

first day at work in the ooe's

 

[thebottomclef]

And now's the moment where I want to slap myself for not participating.

I couldn't agree more, especially since I've never had the chance to own any OY

[thebottomclef]

This all looks greats guys, I'll be happy to spectate throughout

[aho]

Surprised at how fast these are crocking in some areas, particularly the back pocket where I put my cellphone. Took a bunch of photos around town today (denim no vis) but will try to get something up here on sufu. Threw the jeans in the wash in the meantime (3rd wash).

[givemefive]

Ya Aho.. my white converse are suddenly very blue.

[aho]

post 3rd wash...subtle blues popping out, sorry if pics are blurry, I was trying to deal with low light/shakey hands....

starting to get some crinkles and puckering, doubt there'll be too much more though

yoke starting to tighten up/pucker

Overexposed, but I like the light electric blue that's starting to come out under certain light.

 

been doing a ton of cooking and eating out lately, ill have to do a giant post but in the mean time, here is a "spring roll" in the making, with some sous-vide pork belly I made last week...

apologies to any vegetarian friends

 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!

[givemefive]

do you wash inside out or just throw them in, Aho?

[aho]

^Inside out! Hot wash, hot dry

[garden gnomes in space]

you dont get those funky dryer creases going up and down the legs?

[garden gnomes in space]

Ooe contest jeans

AnonymousIsm indigo socks

The Hill-Side indigo sashiko shoes

Some silly turtle that underestimated my speed and got caught and put on show and tell at a kids birthday party today.  

 

[aho]

^re: dryer creases, I am getting it a slight amount on this pair (not usually an issue for me), especially evident when inside out but I'm honestly not worried about it!

[mrsmiff]

Everyone is looking good so far - I just hot-washed mine again to knock out some more shrink.

 

With the new Momotaro mid-weight red plaid workshirt.  I really want to keep this shirt.  

 

 

 

 

[alvin_cheong]

Nice fit...

[Foxy2]

"The Wheel of Fortune" has hit Moscow over the weekend - only got my hands on them today...

Will hit water tonight.

(My contest name is pretty much centered amongst the names of all participants!)

Thanks for all the updates guys.  Looking at Aho's close ups on this page, I'm expecting to see great things from this denim.
