Denime

[Mr-Bielby]

^^ I'm not the person asked, but would like to throw in my two pennth, I find them low rised.

[jet.shi]

aha,Thanks a lot Mr-Bielby.

So I think xx maybe fit me more.

I will put an order on AND_JAPAN later ^ ^!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah....it's more towards low rise

the front rise of my size 34 66XX is a hair over 10"

[jet.shi]

copy that.

xx's front rise is more high.

but I'm worry about the leg open.

infact I 183cm/70kg , too thin for a 50's cutting?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

depends on your taste and style. if you wear chunky boots, the XX might be the better fit.

66XX tapers noticeable

[jet.shi]

yeah

I have a pair xx type2(shin era) for years.

It was w32,

If new xx type ,w31 fit for me? or still w32?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I would compare the measurements Denime posted on their site. They are pretty accurate, if I remember correctly. I only own a Denime XX1951 from teh shins era, also in size 34 like my Denime XX from the new era. The Denime XX from the new area fits a bit looser but has still some shrinkage left

[Mr-Bielby]

^^ If you are not that bothered about XX denim then take a look at the 505 repro they do. Slim legs and a high rise

[Mr-Bielby]

Decided to break out my new 66XX today. Bit tight in the thighs at first, but loosening up now, praise The Lord. This shot is straight out of the closet.

One of my biggest regrets, after getting married, is not getting a pair under the old management but I think that these are lovely.

[grooveholmes]

Keep working them, Mr. B. They look a bit tight in the top block. I do like how your son(?) photobombed the last shot. Well played.

[Mr-Bielby]

^^^ yes hes a little bastard at times. After wearing the jeans for around 2 hours now they are much more comfortable.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yes I also think they have to loosen up to look better in the top block. But I'm still thinking a size up might be the better pair in the end

[Mr-Bielby]

For me it'd have to have been two sizes up as these are a 34. And when I tried the 36's I could pull them up without undoing all the buttons first. I'll report back after a few days.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Or maybe not to right cut for your body type (no offense)

this is how my looked right after the initial soak

and after a couple of months

they had one real handwash but no real machine wash and to be honest, I don't think I will ever wash them in a machine...maybe too much shrinkage might occur

those are too tight, i can see your moose knuckles easily.

Agreed. Got a little bit of a can on you Mr Biely, and the taper of the 66s exaggerates it. I think you could get away with that tight of a top block, if the legs were wide from the thigh down (like the XX). The narrower the leg opening is, the bigger things up top look.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

and the XX gives you more room in the seat and thighs. the 66xx is really fitted in that area.

I'm also a size 34 in those and you see that mine fit quite snug too

[Mr-Bielby]

I've got some XX's and always struggled with the wide hem. Hence I've had them tapered.

I think that after a whole day they've relaxed a lot more. Will give it another couple and see how it goes. BTW what is a can?

They've been through two machine washes at the start, so I think that's that's the shrinkage out of the way and can work from here.

Thanks for the imput though.

[setterman]

BTW what is a can?

Butt.

Many thanks to Steven at Railcar for the amazing work on my Denime. Flawless. I wish I'd taken pics beforehand, but basically they've repaired the busted outseam and the busted buttonfly. My fat-ass blew them out. Now I can commence with wearing these again.

Groove- any closeup shots that show the repair work? good fit pics btw!

[aho]

b_F, can't remember if we talked about it, but is Denime doing anything this year for their anniversary?

Thanks. Here ya go. Considering how effed up things looked before, I was very impressed.

You can see all the stretching and shit is from my fatness warping the fly. IIRC the damage was all the way through. Here's the spot on the flip side:

Which side seam got blown out? You can probably tell, but it's a pretty damn good job.

In the words of Doc Brown: "Damn-damn!"

So when I was taking these macros, I noticed the spot underneath the repair starting to blow out. I'm thinking I'll take it to my local tailor and see if they can't just reinforce that spot, but that just rots chunks. Ah well, maybe I'll just keep on truckin' til they blow out completely.

I think we didn't and I don't know yet if they have something planned

[Mr-Bielby]

So 3 days later and they're feeling much better to me.

So from this

To this

Feedback?

[grooveholmes]

Mr-B, glad it's loosened up for you, but I still am not feeling the fit. Are these the ones you had tapered?
