Denime

^looking good bF

Just got my Denime New66, 33/26

presoak

postsoak

i didn't really take measurement, but you can see the drastic changes. bF and I had a tad conversation regarding the new66 cutting and stuff, and what he said is true about the 'slightly bigger in waist', because I found it so. And lastly, I'm gonna get it hemmed soon

[beautiful_FrEaK]

but it seems that your sizing was great! Are you going to wear a belt to prevent the stretching?

Fit looks grat with those cuffs but I understand if you want to get them hemmed.

[roeyroeyy]

^yes, belt definitely. and it's quite loose actually. my waist and crotch area is quite roomy, I wonder if I should do another soak to get a little bit more shrinkage on those areas. hmm.. :confused:

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I often do two soaks...dunno how this 13oz denim behaves but you might look at grooveholmes' measurements and see how much his pair shrank after his wash.

[grooveholmes]

Great compare pics and fit, roey.

Post wash fit pics. Love these jeans. Never had a pair of unsanforized shrink so drastically (always knew it was possible, but still) after a cold wash.

fit looks good from what I can tell some evo worth showing?

denim impressions of my XX 1951 (2 weeks ago)

[grooveholmes]

Will do, b_f-- denim is still hairy, and some nice wear peeking through. Working on grad school apps this week though... trying to incorporate the concept of wabi-sabi into my essay... haha. minus the reference to denim sub-culture, of course. i don't want the admissions committee thinking how weird i am for having a weird fascination with fades...

[SLAB]

i really like those denime66 fits; if i ever wear out the pairs i currently have then those will be on the top of my list

[spidereye]

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

awe # i like this kind of cut,vintage model sadly i dont have one.

Nice fit you've got there man. Just like bf said, some evoo pleaseee

Btw I was bored with my final year project and decided to snap some pics of the 66 ;D

12 days since 11.11,

Honestly, I swear I love the 13oz fabric. It's very comfortable for Asia's weather. Not as hairy as my samurai tho, but I like the fact that the creases won't settle easily. I'm really taking my time to see the changes.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

that's also the beauty of denime..they take their time...i'm around 6 weeks in my XX 1951s (not everyday wear though) but not much to show

[Tiro]

good fit grooveholmes...

'66 cuts are so nice, but it's a shame leg openings are so small for us bigfoot people.

keep wearing that '51 tillmann, wish I could find a deadstock pair in size 32, even a normal old XX would be cool

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I will till the Samurai contest starts but then it will be less wear for those...

i wanted to ask you about your pair. did you wear it after the contest? and how does it look like now?

and why a 32? did you lost a lot of weight or did your style change?

[PeterParker]

Wish I had a pair of them Nizza zips.

haven't worn my pair since the contest because they're too big...

I shoulda gone with a size 33 back then, by now I think I need a size 32, I'm wearing a size 34 in Ooe's WWII cut, 32 in MF Californian and Momotaro 1005sp nowadays...

So I guess these days my true waist size is about 32-32,5"

I guess I also have grown up (older) and don't wear jeans oversized anymore.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

as I know how Denimes (at least the Shins ones behave) I gave the top block a little soak to freshen up the denim and threads.

The whiskers nearly set back in at the old spots

I've worn them for almost 2 months (90% of the time) and maaaan...they are sloooow faders.

Here's a shot of the backpocket, but already some weeks ago.

[Tiro]

man i need to hunt me down a pair of xx or xx'51 in size 32... just for old times sake...

btw totally late on this but, you guys do realise that wwii cuts have wider beltloops right?

[Plalai04]

This one is orizzonti !

[beautiful_FrEaK]

wow..where did you find it in that condition? great pick-up!

[Plalai04]

wow..where did you find it in that condition? great pick-up!

I got this pair from my friend store "Lee & Na" in MBK bangkok Thailand

I got this for 365 US$

This jeans hang in there shop for almost 4 years already. and now I decide to buy them

[grooveholmes]

Great find, but 4 years?? They should have marked those down!!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

well...Naoki sold his last pair of Orrizonti 66XX for 105,000 Yen or more...collector's value

[grooveholmes]

bf, definitely not feeling the price tag of 105,000 yen, either, for orrizonti era, but if there's a niche with buyers, it's understandable... just working under the assumption that it's odd that a retail store would have something on their shelf for 4 years and not mark it down. but retail is different from country to country, so it very well could be set up like a "vintage" store.

[Plalai04]

Great find, but 4 years?? They should have marked those down!!

actually on that time (4 years ago) the price is around 300-315 US$

and now when I come back and saw them still in the store so I ask for it (first they not gonna sell this but I'm a good friends of them)

So I beg them for 365US$ and a cup of coffee
