This another new pair or just a ds pair you started wearing ? 

Fit great 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thanks mate. A new pair, the DS pair will stay dry for quite a while

We’re all struggling to keep up with b_F and Broark’s new arrivals!

Yes. Also looking forward to @Broark not quite fitting in to his 1927 Ooe's soon and then I'll be in there like a bandit and get em for half price

Don't hold your breath on that one.  I'm really enjoying those, which reminds me I need to get some fit pics up!

[Dr_Heech]

Have a fry up and a few beers beforehand, then we'll convince you they dont fit

An old pair of black Denime jeans. The fabric of these is lovely, a bit of slub inside and out, but they really don't seem to fade much. Leg twist on the left leg has brought the selvedge line to the front. And I enjoy how the fit is slim but seems to flare out ever so slightly at the hem.

It's the small things in life, like these lovely coffee mugs

Old Denime XX Orizzonti starting to fall apart all over the place now

[Talan]

My first pair of Denime 66 just arrived. The support and service from Naoki-san are amazing.

[Cold Summer]

Just now reading the last couple pages of this thread - love the fit on the XX ’51 and 66 30th Original Line @beautiful_FrEaK, those are pretty much my ideal fit for a pair of jeans these days, and I think the big cuff on the former pair is perfect. Also, maybe I’m just imagining this, but you look a lot slimmer than in the days of the Samurai fit guide.

Personally, I’m still the same size I always have been, but since my preference has changed so radically from the very slim fits I wore a decade ago to classic straight fits over the past four years or so, the end result isn’t much different than if I’d outgrown all my old jeans anyway.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@Cold Summer Thanks Kyle! Yes I lost some weight (but put back on a lot after pregnancy of my wife and having a boy now).

The 1951 is a nice pair. It's W34 but fits a bit bigger in the waist than my 1952 10th Anniversary for example. I think a classic pair of Denime XX would suit you just fine! At least better than Resolute 711

From today

[Flash]

Perfect fit on those , should wear them more often 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I know mate...and you shouldn't have sold your Orizzonti XX pair  

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I have a really bad feeling about the future of Denime. The webshop is completely sold out, no updates since January '21...doesn't look too good.
There is still a big company behind Denime (Wego) but this is no guarantee.

The 30th Original Line was a great comeback (at least in my book) but probably didn't attract too many new customers.

I had Naoki from PSA look for a good sized pair of Denime XX for me to stock up.

Seems like Bears got a 66/66XX restock today, just in time for the Resolute fair that's going on there. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yep, they did. But it was just some remaining stock.

According to Naoki from BEARS, Denime is not planning to do new production runs which is bad in his book.

We will see

Denime 66XX while the Resolutes are drying 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Just got his one in the mail.

Denime 507 from the Shins-era. Made of the famous XX denim. It's a size 44 and thus bigger than I usually buy but I think it works quite well (maybe I can shrink them a tad more with hot washes).

A bit of marbling

And the fit pics

 

PS: it's really annoying how blurry these pictures become. No matter if I upload them here or on Imgur

[Maynard Friedman]

Nice! Looks the right size to me b_F, I think a 42 would have been too small. A hot wash (and possibly tumble dry) might shrink the sleeves a little, which I think is what you may be after.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thanks @Maynard Friedman .

Yes the sleeves could be a tad shorter and the shoulders look a little bit big. Chest is fine and I agree with you, a 42 would have been too tight (and not available in that condition for that price..thanks to Yahoo!)

[Duke Mantee]

Agree, just a wee bit of shrink on the sleeve length/shoulder would elevate things, but it looks great as it stands

[MJF9]

Looks a good fit to me too b_F. Cuffed cuffs look good for a change imo. Would probably allow for a thicker sweatshirt too.

Font anomalies needed fixing!

[Cold Summer]

I like that fit. The long sleeves are funny to me - I've looked at jackets by Warehouse, Flat Head, Full Count, Freewheelers, etc. that look great except the sleeves are several inches too short for me. I like my Strike Gold jacket okay but more than anything else I got it because it was one of the only ones I could find with sufficiently long sleeves. I need at least 25" but for most of those makers I'd have to size up to something like a 48-50" chest to get that... when 42 is otherwise about the right jacket size for me.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thanks Kyle.

These have a measured chest of 43.25" and sleeves of 24.75". So longer than I need

[Maynard Friedman]

It’s probably the combination of shoulders and sleeves - if the shoulders were a little slimmer, then the sleeves would be a good length.

[JMS]

personally, I think the fit is great! On a 507xx I prefer the shoulders to have that overhang look. 

[MJF9]

^ I like a bit of overhang too... a mix of no overhang and overhang jackets has the options nicely covered! 

[chambo2008]

I think when the combs form that will shorten the length of the sleeves too. Solid fit.
