levis N3BP HK

[HUNCHBAK]

hey how do these fit?? im trying to get a pair from HK but i have no ideal about the fit...im a slim dude that wears a 36w/34 length....anyone got a pair? should i go a size up or what?? thanks..

[hahnstch]

they fit pretty much like normal levi's waist size wise. for example i picked up size 32 for n3bp and my levi's red loop is size 32 as well. as for cut, i believe there are several different cuts, i picked the loose fit, they arent that baggy after all

should get the inner waist snap button ones.

eg: if you get W34, pretty sure it fits W33 as well.

2 inner buttons on the waist and a buttoned denim band

that works like a lil' belt for adjustments. no belt loops,obvsly.

loose fit. nice jeans...

dont mess if you're gettin on ebay man. loads of fakes.

[script]

should try the the inner waist snap button ones. a hidden denim band like a lil' belt

on both side. no belt loops obviously. loose fit. true sizing but i'll double check mine.

mine has belt loops... maybe different model? mine was the very first one that came out, also there are 2 snap buttons

[Guest]

to be more acurate, the buttoned band is actually placed at the back.

[band is inside a 1.5" thick loop across, made to almost 8" in length] and both end

of the band comes out from the loop. which allow you to snap it to the other buttons on your jeans. works as a waist adjuster or to say a belt substitute. that's why there isnt any belt loops.

the 2 snap buttons you refer are the ones in front at the top and fly.

yours the first edition out with loops and it comes with two wash.

this is after that and i got mine from s'pore early/mid last year.

in fact, a friiend got the latest one from japan. pinstripes denim.

sounds awful but actually quite nice. not easy to carry the stripes off but

who gives a damn as long he feels good.

but think the 1st editions are with zipper fly. if i recall correctly.

whereas the 2nd is without zipper but just 2 buttons.

in fact, a friend got the latest one from japan. pinstripes denim.

sounds awful but actually quite nice. also think it's a limited run.

not easy to carry the stripes off but nice....

are these ever going to make it stateside? or is american public too stupid to understand them?

[script]

hahnstch,

yea, they're. dont know how put those up but nice in its own sense.

never seen the other wash too. i dont personally like 'em but

it's interesting to look at how levis experiment with fabrics,finishing and cuts.

absolut,

n3bps are supposedly to be release in asia only particularly japan and now hk and s'pore, maybe shanghai.

it all started from japan. but it's not as big and successful though, to my opinion,

compared when levis introduced engineered / twister. which was a cheaper alternate version from levis reds.

also because of the cut and styling of n3bp. people in general prefer the normal denim cut,

which i do as well. the vintage cut is my fav.

hunch,

think it would be safe to get your own size.

mine's a 33 and fits 33 to 34.

I have a pair and they are quite cool. I don't wear them very often though. I am breaking in my APCs now, so I don't really wear anything else at this point.

I'm not illiterate, I just can't type!

[absolut]

hunchback, where are you getting them from? any store in specific? online?

anyone else know any places where these can be bought.

thanks

[script]

abs,

DONT TRY IT ON EBAY!!! friend got ripped by a HK seller.

what i meant was you still can if you dying for a pair but

please check the seller!!

my friend received his pair and found out and requested for a

refund or a new authentic pair. seller was helpful and agreed

but when the 2nd one comes its like "shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit"

fabrc was different and all that.

so be very careful. will hook you up if i can get some info.

actually i wasnt thinking about ebay, i found a few stores in japan that seem to sell nice washes.

[HUNCHBAK]

Good looking on the replies...my boy is out there and i told him to pick me up a pair....they're exclusive to the asian market (mainly HK and JAPAN) so you wont see them here in the states unless someone brings them here, but they will go for a higher price...i was worried about the fit because im 6'3.

[script]

think you'll fit fine just as long your boy knows your measurement.

good luck hunch.
