Denime

[mlyngard]

Found a little info, but needing clarification on regular Denime 66 model versus the XX denim.

As far as I can tell, the '66' uses lighter denim, and the 66xx uses Denimes premium stuff? Also, the 66-95 0r 66-14 (don;t understand the difference) has a lower rise cut?

The shrink-rate seems high on the 66 (31 tagged has a 35.4" raw waist according to the chart). Size down one?

Are these the only differences? I like the lighter denim, but I'm just not sure how Denime grades its denim.

Also, on the 66xx through BiG - is sizing up two on tag common recommendation?

I'm also curious about Denime sizing, but with the XX type. I think I'm going to get a pair.

I think 1 size up is good. I'm a regular 30 and I purchased 66xx from BiG in 31 and they ended up being a good fit for me.

6 month evo update in denime contest thread.

Denime was probably the most understated underhyped but one of the best Denim brands in Japan. It is really bad news that they appear to have lost the quality with the new ownership.......

[jstavrin]

Does anyone know where I can get a pair of XX types with a tab?

Has this really been confirmed? I know the ownership structure changed a while ago, but does anyone know beyond a doubt that anything has changed on the flagship models/denim?

just picked up my denime ww2 model!!!!!

[Flash]

fit pic's? i had my eye on those for a few weeks but ive too many oyher pairs that need some wear, nice pick up mate

[chambo2008]

i tired them on and they are like clown pant's so i wore them in the tub for 10 mins and thought fuck it, thre them in the washing machine on 90 just waiting for that to stop/ dry then proberly do the same again!

do the rivets say Denime basic?

Only that Avenue who I believe were the biggest distributor of Denime in Japan (or at least one of the biggest) have stopped selling Denime on the grounds of quality...........they say the denim is thin and not up to the standard they would expect.

Denime YH

(10 char)

^like my denime 66xx and the 15th type

rivets on the denime tokyo edition say denime basic instead

[Flash]

dose the tokyo use the same denim as the 66type? thanks

[pomata]

I don't think so. From what I know, they used a different and unique kind of dying for the denime tokyo edition and a lighter one for the denime kyoto as well.

[Mr HaGa]

Yeah Kyoto and Tokyo are slightly altered 66 cuts with special denim. I heard rumors that they were both goin to be discontinued with the new ownership, if that's true I'm happy to have some Kyotos at least. I'd like to get the Tokyos as well cause Pomata's pair looks really very nice and good.

[pomata]

^thanks, mr. Haga! I have to say it's my favourite pair so far. It was also kinda cheap compared to what I paid for the 66xx.

[chambo2008]

Looks like im taking the denime's to the tailor as they were sold with wrong measurements. By 2inchs the waist is 27 which is ok but the leg opening 8.5 that is just stupid big washed twice once at 40 and once at 90 and hot soaked (no dryer concept) will see happans when i see him on monday

[jstavrin]

Would it be a bad idea to size up two on the XX? I found a size 34 with a tab, but I normally wear a 32. I have fairly big thighs so I'm mostly worried about the waist.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

as Denime shrinks from tag size it could work. just wear a belt

[chambo2008]

my poor patch...

[salaami]

after a hot wash be glad it actually survived at all. mine rolled up like a blunt wrap. and it was so crispy hard it stuck me in the hand the first few times i put them on, so i had to just remove it and make my own...

[jstavrin]

Many thanks to LFC4ever for helping me track down a pair of XXs with a tab. I'm sure you all have seen enough pictures, but here they are. The seller threw in an Engrish-laden bandanna.

[LFC4ever]

Look great! Mine arrived yesterday, have a pair of ZXX's on the way also.

[cmo]

Where from?? Thanks...

Naoki is excellent - really helpful, but I imagine they're running pretty low on stock now......

when i macghine washed i forgot to put a towl in now they are faded in spots all over, i guess they will go away with time, just looks a bit funky

?? I always use a machinewash and never put a towel in,

that never happens to me.did you use the spincycle?

i always wash inside out,no spinning...

[salaami]

i want that bandana. ''agricultural liming materials''? i love it. makes the physical work i do in these even more appropriate. i don't fuck with the machine wash cause i like controlling the variables. i lie, i machine washed one time when i first got them raw before i wore them. if i hot dry and they are creased i just iron out the creases.
