Aye, blue tab = international Denime. 

 

What a funny placed beltloop, center on top but not below.

No other tags that I can find other that what's pictured. 

Not a bad fit, a bit wider in the leg than I usually wear but I may hang onto them.

Looking at the XX type online, that seems to be the norm. Think the Evisu's I had awhile back had the same detail.

Since flash has called me...

Blue tag was usually used for the first overseas models. When BiG offered Denime they used a black tab. Because of this and the offset beltloop loop I agree with others,  some kind of CC model. Although yours have a paper patch...

 

Edit: sorry I am drunk. Leather patch...So XX

You're drunk, already? Good for you!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I think my forum time setting is fucked...it was around 3:00 am...give or take 

[Blue Nemo]

My fault

[bod]

I owned the Denime XX and still own a pair of Denime 66XX and their 25th Anniversary pair from the current owner (or not current anymore?!).

 

While the construction is great and from what I can tell far better than the older Denimes...they lack some kind of soul (to me). I know this is completely subjective and everyone feels different about it. But old Denimes have a special place in my heart

 

I didn't really wear the XX pair before I sold it. I gave the 66XX a lot more wear but I don't really like the new cut they used for this model. I never understood why they changed the cut for the 66XX model and that the standard 66 has a different cut.

Faded pics of the new XX-denim haven't really convinced me but I really do like the fades from the standard denim Hoggreaser and Blue Nemo wore.

 

Also the rough and slubby denim from the 25th Anniversary pair is totally not-Denime if you ask me. And the cut is way to tapered for the old Denime spirit. But I do like them as jeans

Wasn't the older 66xx higher rise? I didn't get on with the new cut, the denim albeit quite nice I found a bit too heavyweight (16oz?) after washing, add in a low rise and I was struggling for comfort in the top block.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Exactly, the old 66XX had a higher rise and less taper. Both should have denim around 14,5oz

Double Denime bump! 

 

 

Almost time for the basic 66's first wash. Might throw the jacket in the washer as well to go after the vintage fades. Decisions decision!

[Lendo]

Gave the jeans a wash & hot soak, and I've decided they're a bit too full in the leg for me. Rather than risk ruining them $150 takes them.

Beautiful denim, offset back belt-loop, hidden rivets and all that.

waist aligned: 30"

inseam: 32.5"

leg opening: 8"

Too bad they didn't work out for you! Hopefully someone else can make them work

Random crotch shot of my 66XX.

[Blue Nemo]

Washed my 66 yesterday the 8th time. Was on a family trip last weekend and kanuing all Saturday.

It astonishes me again and again how much the dirt hides the beauty of the fabric, and in fact, they are much darker after the wash than before. The contrast is higher too, maybe that's why.

Even honeycombs are already evolving.... :-)

Should have taken pictures damn

Fit update of my Denime 66XX (Shins)

Those are my size 36 from the Shins era. I still have my 66XX from the McCoys era. But it's a size 34 and a totally different fit/cut

The newer version has a much stronger taper, shorter inseam and a significant lower rise

[Blue Nemo]

Texture of my 66s right leg.

Havnt found the time and lighting yet for proper update pics...

But the color in this on is actually true

[Bobbo]

Washed my Denime 66 for the first time, suppose they have 3-4 months of wear. Somewhat poor lighting but you get the gist of it. I reckon these will be bloody awsome.

looking good lads 

 

only going by pictures but i think i prefer the standard 66 denim to the new xx denim 

[Bobbo]

Yeah mate, I like it too. It's quite flat and soft to the touch though, I think the XX-denim still has the upper hand. Will post pics of my jacket as soon as I have time and decent lighting.

[Flash]

now the old xx denim is a different story ( easily one of my favorites that ive owned ) but compared to the current xx denim i think i like the 66 denim better   

[Bobbo]

Ah right! Can't speak of the current xx-denim.
