nice pickup!

[beatle]

finally..after thinking about it for over a year I picked up a pair of the 20th edition..

denim is really vintage color - pretty light with a hint of greycast.

fit is dope - what you expect from a 55 66 mix - slim fit but a tad more room

[beautiful_FrEaK]

more pics!

[beatle]

in a couple months *******

[Skeese]

...didn't think you'd snap 'em up that quick beats

[beatle]

lol..quick is my middle name....

[beatle]

Actually - against all advices...a lot of people suggested sizing up 2 = they are supposed to run really small - but I think 1 size up is all you need.

[riff]

Argh. I just got caught up on the 66XX/XX contest, but I saw these in Tokyo last year... Can't do both

I wear 30 in Eternals, so was thinking of a 32 in the 66XX for a comfy fit, vs a 31 in the anniversary model... Must win lottery...

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to beatle again."

[beatle]

thanks**

anyways - if your Eternals don't fit too tight in the waist - you might consider a 30 as well -

I wear the 811 in a 32 - got these in a 32 - and they have way more space in the waist...about 1 inch...

great choice Beatle!

the faded pair of xxtype I got for my girlfriend:

[Mr HaGa]

You got yourself a good woman there. Good woman.

[SLAB]

didnt know they still sell the anniversary jeans?! fit is spot on beatle, good call on the sizing

[Tiro]

need to pick me up a pair of XX type before Denime is no more...

a shame that 20th edition wasn't available in a longer inseam, good fit on those beats and great timing

[bunga]

so it's true that Denime will cease to exist soon? haven't been on much lately, link for story please?

[erbs]

I haven't heard anything about this. Why would Denime go out of business?

[denimformytummy]

I heard from edmond that denime is bought by Real Mccoys

the xx type will still be the same

[Mr HaGa]

It seems that Denime was not bought by McCoys but by another Japanese company, WEGO, that allegedly makes very low quality cheap shit. A couple of Japanese guys who know their denim on another forum declared it the end of Denime.

wego? who said so? no real mccoys bought them and they own them now unless wego owns real mccoys

[edmond]

denime will stay the same only the "owner" is different the absorbed everything from the supplier of denim to the stores to the packaging

hey riff

i wear a 30 in eternals also, and I bought a 32 in the 66xx and it is a really comfy fit. you can see my fit here

hope it helps!

According to this report, WEGO acquired a Shins Inc. in early October. Acording to their website, Denime is owned by a Shins Inc. I don't know if it's the same company, but it's very possible. Edmond, what's your source?

[edmond]

shins company owns denime right

but my sources were from take5 and the denime staff in daikanyama

[iamstarwars]

Yeah, I don't know what's going on. I guess the deal, if there was a deal, is recent.

Edit - it seems the comments on this blog entry mention something about WEGO and Denime. Could anyone translate?

ready for some wego jeans?

their lookbook:

http://store.wego.jp/pc/09AWlookbookall.php

I don´t think they´ll completely integrate Denime to their look, cause it wouldn´t make sense, but what they do is sooo different from the classy and timeless Denime stuff. Hilarious.

there´s some talk about Denime and Wego in this japanese forum- tried to translate with google, didn´t really make sense. maybe someone can tell us what they´re talking about.

this guy also talks about Denime, Wego and RealMcCoys:

Think he says, that RMC wanted to buy, but they backed out, cause the brands are too similar.

[SLAB]

fck, have to pick up a pair of 66xx fast if true

[denimformytummy]

fck, have to pick up a pair of 66xx fast if true

at least there is an excuse for buying denime earlier.

I was planning to buy denime in 2010 or 2011.

Currently, denime is on the bottom of my wishlist coz I'm breaking in my FH

[SLAB]

yeah, me too. I intended to pick up a pair in 2011 when i go back to japan but might have to change my wishlist. But then there are still 4 pair of jawns waiting to be abused...

[pomata]

don't you have a pair of Kyotos as well, Slab?

[amardeep]

You have an awesome fit! But I just got a note back from Take5 - they're out of the size 32's in the 66XX. Boo.

Thanks for your help!

you should try for a 31 then! i had to do a bunch of soaks to these to get em to fit around the waist (i'm a 30 waist), and they're still a but loose.

or if you wanna work alongside the contest, you can order from BiG!

good luck

i doubt denime's operation will change, a lot of times when clothing corps are bought out only ownership changes, not brand strategy and product. but what do i know...

[salaami]

i just hope the corporate monster didn't just devour another good thing. good shit beats, i want to see how the 20th anniversary joints fade.
