Here is a fit pic of my JB0101 soon to be replaced by my 003s. can't really tell from pictures as the jeans are soaking wet, but they have some vertical fading going on.

not trying to high-jack this thread but... here are some evo pics of my JB0101 in direct sunlight. Picture is a little over exposed, but this is the vertical fading I was talking about, sorta forgot how much texture these had.

Hey guys! I think I need some help, because I can't make up my mind.

Right now I'm choosing between JB0101 and JB0703, which I'm going to order from Japan, so, first of all, is it somewhat different from what they sell in Europe/USA, because measurements on JB store, and, say, Blueowl differs a lot and patch is different?

Then about denim: is difference between 14.8oz US and 14oz African noticeable in terms of colour, fading and stretching? African must be softer, right?

But my biggest concern is about fit: I have rather thin legs and 30' waist, and I want something slim/regular-ish in top block, but not skinny or baggy. I know, jb0101 is called skinny, but it doesn't look that skinny on Japanese photos, and it has wider thigh, than 0703, but lower rise, so I don't know which is better for thin legs and butt. I feel 01xx will be loose on my leg, but 07xx - on my butt, if I go tts, but then it will be tight vice versa if I downsize.

Thanks in advance!

Well, I guess JB has had a revamp of the collection. Of they decided to make a new collection for international customers (a overzeas collection, much like the Europe Label Momotaro has). Why don't you shoot Jay an e-mail with questions about it. He is very helpfull. Adress is [email protected]

Hope this is of any help.

@m1stral. Nice denim! Have you also posted fit pics somewhere on this forum?

I'm looking at some Momotaro 0905 SP and some 1005 SP.

What can I expect on shrinkage and stretching? I'm a true 30 or 31.

And these are sanforized, correct?

Well, they have been washed once, with sea water. There might be some shrinkage left. The waist will stretch about one inch with prolonged wear. Most important is that you get the thigh measurement right.

I went with the 007-2B tagged 30", measures 31", actual waist about 32.5". They were tapered from the knee down to about a 7" hem.

Should have clarified, that is a 31" as per blue owl. But yes, after 2 months of wearing everyday, they stretched out enough to be comfortable around the waist.
