We didn't have a dedicated thread yet, just some info in the "Unknown Japanese Brands" thread.

And the website for the online shop:

Jelado offers a wide range of Americana stuff.

Jelado 301XX "Age of Longing"

Here is some info about how they analyzed the denim of some deadstock Levi's to produce this new denim "Last Resort"

Got the size 34 in one-wash. Definitely need a hem, these come in at 34".

[Duke Mantee]

I didn’t realise there was no Jelado thread - and that’s surprising given how long they’ve been going and how wide the range is. Nice fit on the jeans 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

If there was, I didn't find it. Just some info spread in the Unknwon thread and No Kipple therad as they carried Jelado back then.
And thanks

I went to their store in Daikanyama a few years ago. Pretty nice shop actually, and a worthy stop in one of the denim quarters in Tokyo.

Lovely stuff too!

The model with the strange pockets,killer fit nevertheless !Great to have a Jelado thread now!

[julian-wolf]

@beautiful_FrEaK Fit looks great! When you get a chance, would you mind taking a rear fit pic from a higher vantage point? Trying to get a feel for how the asymmetrical pockets look in practice

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thanks Julian. I will do that shortly. But the asymmetrical pockets are definitely noticeable...at least it feels that way

They have the hideout store in Shibuya, near Japan Blue,  marvins etc. That's a cool little store. 

Google maps says permanently closed though so may be gone now. 

Damn I miss Tokyo. 

[Bobbo]

@Geeman Missed that one! 

Don't wanna hijack this thread but it would be fun to hear about what's everyones favorite spots in Tokyo. 

[Maynard Friedman]

What were your own measurements for those b_F?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Here you go mate. Forgot to post them before. Quite the strong taper from the knee on.

Size W34

 

One-wash

Waist: 33.5"

Front rise: 12.5"

Back rise: 16.5"

Thighs: 13"

Knee: 10"

Leg opening: 8.25"

Inseam: 34.25"

[JohnM]

Nice fit b_F.  Those back pockets make my Freewheelers 1944-45 look symmetrical.

Do they come in size 35?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thanks John! Sorry, they skip the 35 and go straight to 36.

[mlwdp]

They have great customer service.  I’ve bought a few shirts from them.  Make sure you talk to Kuma!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@julian-wolf here you go. Two pictures from a higher angle. The asymmetrical pockets aren't that "in your face"

At least that's what I tell myself 

[Thanks_M8]

^noticeable, if u know it. If u don't u wouldn't even, realise something

[Duke Mantee]

Anyone looking at that ass isn’t going to notice any kind of pocket

I guess if – globally speaking – we're ever again in a position to edge past someone seated in a confined space and worry about whether we present the arse or the crotch view, you're unlikely to be chastised for your asymmetrical pockets...

[conqueror]

i've wanted to try the 66s for a while, but i hate the back pocket stitching and had a bad experience in the past with a seam ripper...

Edited July 14, 2021 by conqueror

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The 66 is interesting with the burnished (?) buttons. The denim is inspired by the 40s though so not the usual lighter indigo colour. The arcs are indeed quite high and flat so yeah, not the best look. Seam ripper was no problem for me on the 301XX but I got a bit nervous the nearer I came the constructional seams

@beautiful_FrEaK

so how did those evolve, over half a year later? or did you sell em? 

while wearing nothing but the 55 canes my Jelado JPD 505's are still waiting to be worn.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

As you have guessed correctly, I sold them last year already.
They are now with @Lazerr (I hope he doesn't mind revealing him). So maybe he can show you some fades. From what I have seen, they same to fade rather quick.

[Lazerr]

@beautiful_FrEaK @Sympathy-For-The-Denim Unfortunately, I gained a bit more weight than expected after I got the pair, so they're not as comfortable as when I first tried them on . I'm on some dieting/exercising right now, so hopefully in a month or so I can introduce them to the rotation. 

[indigoeagle]

Has anyone had a chance to handle the two different Last Resort denims?

There is first one, white tag, which is apparently based on 50s denim, more blueish.
And the recently introduced black tag, which is darker and supposed to be like the 40s denim.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

And the black tag is 1oz heavier...or so
