Denime 0177

These have caught my eye

http://item.rakuten.co.jp/bears/denime-0177/

I am thinking of buying another pair of skinny jeans, but don't want to sacrafice either cut or quality. I currently have a pair of Eternal Tigers, which have been taken in 'cos they were too loose for my bony-ass frame.

These look slimmer than any other pair of jeans from a Japanese company (17 cm hem on a 30 inch model!), so they caught my eye.

The site doesn't say anything about the weight of the denim... it just says that they're one-wash and 100% cotton.

Can any superdudes in Japan vouch for whether the denim is thin/thick?

And has anybody had experience with breaking in Denime, er, denim?

denime denim breaks in like no other. denime fade 90% better than almost all jeans talked about on this board. no idea about this model though.

denime is seriously underrated

although the rise on those seem VERY low...

here's natao's pics from mynudies of his amazing denimes

here's a pic of my looser denime 66's after like 4 or 5 washes for like 4 months, i sold these cuz they ended up being too loose of a jean for me...but these were very nice

[synthi]

Yeah I've always wondered why they don't get more love here. And holy crap on a stick those worn in Denime's are seriously fresh

[xcoldricex]

yeah denime's are great. i have a pair at home that i wore for quite some time but they, like poly's, ended up being too big after awhile

[mr fluffernutter]

So they stretch out a lot? Do they come back in with a soak or wash?

[poly800rock]

they do stretch out a decent amount, at least my 66 model did. they do come back after a wash, but we all know how useless that is..they stretch back out in 20 minutes

off topic, I like the boots on that Bears model. Almost looks laceless.

Those look like Red Wing boots and i'm pretty sure they are just slip on ones.

[Cameland]

well if you think naotos denimes looked good before. after he dry cleaned it they look even cooler!

[toufu]

holy crap! crazy ass contrast XD

[poly800rock]

natao is a fucking jean fading machine....

[cultpop 0217]

do those have an orange tab? they look awesome.

[poly800rock]

hmm..didnt know denime had orange tabs.

[Cameland]

naoto once said to me that he never washes his jeans hot. he washes with no detergent and no spin cycle. saying that most people get the detergent bit wrong. Even though it may have no bleach it may still have colour brighteners that react to UV light....

yes, i believe the 0177s have the orange tabs and that they are sort of the orange tab repros, in a roundabout way.

breaking in Denime, er, denim?

um, i'm, er, amused. sorry. tickled.

[bearvsgorilla]

I'm really loving the 0177 but how much exactly to Denime jeans stretch out? From what I've gathered it seems like quite a bit but I'm curious as to people's personal experiences.

Not sure about this model either. Specifically whether the denim is the same as their usual XX denim.

Wonder if anyone in Tokyo can drop by Bears' and find out.

although the rise on those seem VERY low...

Yeah... the '30 inch' model has a real waist measurement of 33 inches, and a front rise of 8.5"! I guess they have to sit right on the hipbones.

[2000dB]

I guess I could go check them out... but that'd cost

Joking aside, the pair of XX I had stretch quite a bit too, but I desroyed those jeans with sweat (was working in a drumset warehouse). They have nice denim usually, these can't be an exception.

[tweeds]

i remember some members saying stuff about being able to pick up denime for under 100$, is this for real?

denime stuff definitely looks great though, it's almost a must-have for all the denim galleries on the net.

[poly800rock]

i never heard of that. denime in japan runs mid range i guess. 66 model is cheaper than the flagship XX model. IIRC 66 model was around 15000 yen raw and XX model was over 20000 yen one wash.

[Chicken]

maybe on yahoo!auction?

2000db, if you're in shimo-kitazawa and in the bears' shop, let me know how it is, yeah?

I'm curious as to whether or not the denim is the same or if it is some sort of inferior denim. If it's the XX denim, I'll probably buy it.

Oh! Someone has mentioned my name.....

My Denimes (Kyoto & Tokyo) are slightly different from other Denime's jeans. Normally, the lengths are fixed 34inch with all Denime jeans, but only Kyoto & Tokyo have various lengths. This means that you can find best silhouette jeans which fit you perfectly.

To make a thing easier, here's the chart of Tokyo edition.

http://www.denime.jp/item/jeans/jeans/tokyo/tokyo.size.htm

In total, there are 82 different type of Tokyo editions available. My waist size is 30inch, so I could choose a pair from 7 different lengths of Tokyo editions (L30 to L37). Personally, it was so beneficial that I didn't have to worry about having my jeans hemmed.

Looking back, when I went to Denime Sendagaya branch in Tokyo, I was quite impressed with the fact that they had all 82 Tokyo edition samples which had been already washed once and shrunk. To me it was good because there's no such a point in trying non-washed jeans on in order to make sure whether they fit me or not.

anyone actually end up getting a pair of these?
