Unknown Japanese Brands

[BlackPig]

Let's get this back on topic.  BF the leather patch on them Shin's is very creative.  Good pick up.

I'm not sure how true that is any more, b_F seems to have been wearing lots of different brands lately. I've been impressed that he has beaten the addiction.

It feels good to break out of the "one-brand cylce", you should try it M1stral j/k

 

My latest Samurai jeans were bought this year (S5000VX25oz-15th) but before that I bought the 710XX in 2011. I think I have a pretty wide range of brands covered but I don't own any jeans currently sold at SE (since they no longer stock Skulls).

 

I have 2 main brands and that are Samurai and Denime. They cover both edges of the spectrum (IMO).

Crazy, experimental, slubby, heavy denim = Samurai; and the more true repro denim brand = Denime

Inbetween are the other brands

[Maynard Friedman]

I'm not sure he has beaten his addiction, expanded it probably!

[Vicarious]

bF, I think that's the way to go and it's what I've limited myself to. Samurai 710XX for crazy heavy slub town, Warehouse 660 for easy-wearing everyday jean. When these two pairs are beat to death, I'll start again, perhaps with PBJ and Kapital... or a pair from an unknown Japanese brand. If only there was a thread for that...

[BrownMetallic]

on the flip-side, i seem to whore on new denim concepts [eg, dyed wefts, different weave techniques, etc.] in-between .... different strokes for different folks, i guess.

 

with the acquisition of the Champloo & quite recently SG 3105 [gray weft on LHT],  i am done for a long while  ...  ie, once i get my hands on RMC lot 003

LOL, I Know the feeling. Just started on a pair of PBJ's, instead of purchasing another Momo.

Hajime san @ TCB agreed to make me a type II in my "ratherbigforjapanesestandards" size 42. Just placed the order, it'll take a while to make it but it's fine with me.. i'll have plenty time to practice that master Myagi grimace that we all appreciate, which must go together with the jacket!

^thinking about dropping on a custom size 33 TCB50's which would take 2-3 months. I'm too impatient though

[volvo240thebest]

^ I saw your fb comment.. well there you have a very Japanese zen chance to train your patience! and you'll get a big reward out of it.

I can't comment on the 50's but the 60's I got are just amazing, easily the best money I spent on denim so far!

[Capsicum Fried Meat]

anybody who purchased TCB 50 or TCB 60 could you please tell me how to choose the raw size for each model. I usually wear W31 raw for most of my warehouse and other brand. Thanks in advance.

[volvo240thebest]

just go true to your waist size. I am a little bit under 36 inch waist and went for size 36, the jeans shrank to 35 waist but with wear they got back to 36.

Decided to soak my Shin's Craft today (although they are most likely sanforized)

 

 

 

Hang dry. And I removed the horizontal stitching, crossing the arcs

 

 

They lost quite a bit of free indigo

[Flash]

thought you were going to do this , looking forward to the fit pics mate

front rise: 12,75

back rise: 16

thigh: 13,5

knee: 10,375

leg opening: 9,25

inseam: 35

 

After:

waist: 34" (but was down to around 32" or less, stuck a hanger in the waist after soaking)

Similar shrinkage to Skulls Jeans sanforized denim. Really surprised by the shrinkage in the waist.

[bradl]

Dig the back pockets now, was not fond of that cross stitch. Looks awesome, and still one of my favourite patches.
