Denime

[tsunamiboy85]

Ain't nothing much going on with these. 2 washes, 1 hot soak. 5 to six months of actual wear? How do you guys do it? :confused:

Combs

Crotch looks like they need some reinforcements...

[lostinthesupermarket]

Those look to me like they're at the tipping point. You'll get more evo in the next 6 months than you did in the first.

@tsunami: keep on! these were my denimes at 6 months:

now (at 15 months) they look like this:

goodness these look amazing

[beautiful_FrEaK]

there are plenty of shops in Japan and Take5 sells them too.

BiG is the only one in the USA.

But you won't get a pair like the ones above

[killerb3ar]

blue owl workshop sells a "new" version of both the 66 and the XX. not sure how they're different from the older versions though.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

oh yeah forgot about Blue Owl. But they don't carry the XX.

66XX isn't available yet with the new owner and the denim is different between the old and new owner...it's all in this thread

[poly800rock]

BIG carries the old denim

Blue owl sells the new denim

Gordon said the new denim is similar to the paper patch denime's which i happen to love.

[deleted20333]

If i were to buy them off take5, would it be the same denim as the contest denim and do they styll have any of them left?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

no there's no left of the contest ones.

only BiG has some of them in suze 28 and 19 IIRC another source for old Denime jeans is pants shop avenue in Japan. There you can also buy a pair of 66XX from the fist owner of Denime, Orizonti. But it'll cost you 120,000 Yen

[deleted20333]

lol nvm, i'm prob gonna get them from big, i'm juss hoping they don't run out in a couple of months lol.

[akka225]

These days all I post is pictures from denimba's blog...Here are his Denime's...

[sendepause]

I have been wearing these xx type since august 2009. Sorry for the crappy pics.

I managed to get a new pair of Denime XX by SHINS Inc in the summer last year in Miyazaki, Japan. Without knowing when the shop opened, I decided to get there as early as possible which was 10am, and it was open. The owner said that it opens at 11, but he came early for some reason, which was lucky for me as I didn't have time to wait around for an hour.

A couple pictures of the shop.

The owner had his pair of his XX's on display in the shop, which had been worn for 1 year and washed every month. I really liked the nice vintage fade that was going on. I took a quick picture of them:

He was really nice, and knowledgeable, explained the Denime situation to me (which is basically all in this thread) and showed me the pairs he had left of the old stock. He had 1 pair of XX left and it was in my size. Even luckier.

Needless to say I bought it. He was nice enough to throw in some free pieces of denim for patching (I had asked him if he had any spare pieces of denim I could buy) and a Denime lighter, which he said they won't be making any more of.

He also had a custom made 10 year old Redmoon wallet which was amazing, didn't get a pic of that though unfortunately.

Anyhow, here the jeans are now, they've got about 5 months of wear or so. initial soak, a couple tropical downpour soaks and another soak, no wash yet.

If you're ever in the area, give the shop a visit. It's a nice shop inside and out and the owner's a cool guy. I'm not sure if he speaks english though. Here's the shop's website for reference http://www.bengalac.com

Will post updates and fit pics later on.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

[mikecch]

+ rep CJsmalls

I wonder what his custom-made RM wallet looks like...*drool*

Again, thanks for posting. If anything really nailed that late 60s look, those did. Denime always seem to get great train-tracks, too, better than LVC. I would really like a skinny, short, 66 cut for my post-ROY jeans, maybe I need a friend to find some old stock for me.

have a quick question about the stretch in the xx fabric , i know the general rule with the xx denim is to size up at least one , but with shins no more pickings are slim , so my question is dose the denim stretch back to its raw measurements
