Denime

wow...Orrizonti-era! Great buy!

well, 66XX also had leather patch, that should help you to distinguish the 66 from the 66XX.

At least that's how it was with Shins but I think it's the same with Orrizonti- Also different rivets. The 66XX hasn't those "bubbly" rivets.

I demand fit pics!

Beautiful Freak is right. My Orrizonti-era 66xx have a leather patch and rivets that are pointier little nubs, compared with the rounded ones on yours.

Also, mine only have chain-stitching on the bottom of the inside waistband, not the top aswell.

that's kinda interesting as the double chainstitched waistband is a classical '66 detail. I'm quite sure my Shins 66XX have a double chainstitch on the inside of the waistband

Here's a quick pic:

Mhh, maybe Orrizonti didn't pas that much attention to the right details. But still a great pair you own.

Wanted to cross post

Kyotos are my favorite jeans. Do they still make these? If I ever buy another pair of Japanese jeans I really wanted to get the Tokyos...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

It seems that they sell off the last Kyotos in their webshop. At least there you can find a decent amount of different sizes of the Kyoto. The Tokyo is not available there so I guess the Tokyo is still only available directly in the store.

I decided to soak my XX-type 1951yesterday. Totally dry this morning.

Pre soak

Post soak (after 2-3 hours)

The denim is really interesting. These horizontal weft yarns remind me a tiny bit of Samurai's old Jins denim.

See for yourself:

T, i think i really like your fit on this one

[beautiful_FrEaK]

thx, I really think so too

Fit is a tad slimmer than the regular XX and 1" shorter

[leyori]

I will rep if i could but i have to spread

Really suit you a lot

[SLAB]

Mr HaGa, your Kyotos look amazing. I regret selling my pair but the fit was not to my liking and therefore they didnt get much play; I hope the person who bought them from me is showing them some much needed love

Size 30

It's a really great pair (wearing mine right now ) but of course not very cheap...

i do, the pair from the first Denime contest, i'm actually wearing them right now, i was inspired by your fit so i decided to dig these up again.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Wow...I love my influence

I'm really curious how you pair looks like right now. Following the contest back then and it seems, that the 1951 was a real slow fader

unfortunately i took them out of rotation shortly after the contest, so no evo worth mentioning at this moment.

They're indeed slow faders, but the good thing about that is that there's still so much life left in these, i can wear them for years to come!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yeah I also think that's the case with these jeans...not the best feature when you closet is more than full

[tsunamiboy85]

Sneaked a couple of shots in the office of my XX type as all the supervisors and mangers are in a meeting, and my cubicle mates are too busy to notice how weird I am... (no worries, I am wearing khakis!) The iPhone, under fluorescent lighting, coupled with my poor photography "skills" just don't do justice to the nuances of the denim...

[spidereye]

Anybody can give some info bout this model....more details pic..website...price etc. I found out this kind of cut the vintage one ,is mostly out of order for every brand.I will rock jeans with suspender.

[Awe]

Spidereye,it seems we have the same model of denime.but mine shows more wear than yours.also haven't got any clue about this one.can anyone get us some details

[nachtelijk]

isn't that the old 1930's model...??

but they did release an XX model with a cinchback years ago as well...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

there is no cinch or suspender button model in their line-up right now. you have to search old stock for that. maybe pants shop avenue

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Just checked the measurements on the 1966 (new owner cut) and 66 type (old cut) and it seems that they changed both to be smaller in the waist.

From what I remember, both measured way bigger in the waist so I would have to downsize, which would have lead to tight legs.

New measurements:

http://www.denime.jp/size/1966.html

http://www.denime.jp/size/66-50110015.html

On Rakuten you still find measurements, where the waist is like 5" bigger than tag size

edit: or it seems like they changed the measurements to post soak.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I have to say, I really love if you find new details on your jeans even when you've already worn them for some weeks.

Selvage pocket bags on my Denime XX 1951

I remember some guys from the Denime XX/66XX contest had this as well

[grooveholmes]

Finally got around to washing the Denime New 66. Will post pics when I get a chance...

Pre-measurements:

Waist: 35

Length: 32

Hem: 8.5

Post cold wash w/15 min low tumble (they're still damp):

Waist: 32

Length: 30.5

Hem: 8.0

I should've measured the thighs because these were tight as f*ck to put on. But I'm not shittin' you-- I'm thankful that they still fit at this point-- I did NOT expect this much shrink out of these. I mean, they went from 17.5 measured across with top edge aligned to 16. Not to mention the hem AND opening. Crazy.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

well it was unsanforized denim...I remember right that you didn't soak them when you get them and wore the raw? than it is really no miracle to me

Looking for some new pics
