Pics working now! Looks good! But saw this guy's 098's (http://northernisland.blog.so-net.ne.jp/2014-11-26), and am wowed again.  Too bad the 098's seem to be hard to find (at least I can't find them except for Bears who are pretty much sold out). 

[edmond]

i think the main fob website sells them!

[edmond]

denimio something can order for you the one run by indonesians  or something. they offer free shipping too. look intot he ww2 f191 also

[holio cornolio]

Anyone come across these? http://hands-on-jeans.com/orgn.html

Seem to be mainly repairs, but also seems to have a small line of made to order jeans. Looks interesting. Didn't see them anywhere else in this thread.

My Westride jeans arrived a couple of weeks ago. I went for the WR101 over the WR201 in the end as they're medium-weight (14.75oz vs. 21.75oz) so are good to rotate with my heavy DWC pair.

 

Denim up first; LHT, one-wash, pretty soft and very regular - even though it's just shy of 15oz it feels much lighter. No popping, slub or nep discernible, which is just what I need considering my other pair are Oni secret denim.

 

The fit is slim straight. Very low rise. The top block has since stretched out a bit.

 

 

Classic Wrangler details, half-lined back pockets & triple stitching on the yoke (and inseam):

 

 

Leather patch detail:

 

 

Silver selvedge & double stitched hem:

 

 

Inner tag & UFO rivets:

 

 

Top button - 'Psychle Wear'!

 

 

They have a crotch gusset but I'll spare you the photo.

 

Overall very happy with them. 

 

Bought them from Masuya1997.com Customer service & communication was great. Quick delivery (apart from Coventry Parcel Force  ).

I really, really like the belt loops.

 

Also, great fit!

Hi Unders great looking pair.  We need a cool looking  bike now.

Thanks fellas.

If I got on a bike my old lady would tear me a new one!

I posted in another thread, but I was hoping to get a couple more suggestions. I'll be going to Tokyo in 1.5 months and I was wondering if you guys have some suggestions on what brands I should look into/buy while I'm there. I originally wanted Burgus Plus because they are harder to find in North America, but I kinda want something a little higher end. I already own a pair of Samurais, IH and PBJ. Thanks!

Deluxeware are an option , thought about picking a pair up a month back in Tokyo 

 

since you had planed to go to Hinoya anyway you can check the deluxewear's out just a few shops up ( cant remember the shops name ) 

[edmond]

Flash theres a store in ueno that carries them? Same street as hinoya?

[redragon]

Would add Trophy, Jelado, Vanishing West (Freewheeler), they are all solid options.

yes mate , think its like 3 or 4 shops up from Hinoya

Thanks guys. I'm still going through this thread (I started around the midway point) and I'm up to the point where there's discussion about Trophy. So far, that's what I'm leaning towards just because I've read about it. But I'll try and do my research to see what else is available! It's going to be tough to select just one pair to buy...

The Trophy is really worthy jeans. In the first place, their value is easy to fit (at least for me) and also very convenient pockets.However, if you are looking for beautiful fading of Indigo,then everything else, is a matte blue-gray haze,fading slowly.That is, you have to be ready for that.In addition,I personally know people who don't want the fading of Indigo or want a slow extinction.To each his own .For me personally it is not a disadvantage,because I have quite a lot of other jeans.

Deluxewear , cushman , fob factory are all underrated brands thAt needs to be looked into. They have fantastic quality that has not changed since they started.

I think I'm leaning towards Trophy Narrow Dirt

or Deluxeware DX075A.

Cushman seems to have more relaxed fit, but I need something slim because I'm unfortunately stick thin. And F.O.B. Factory seems to be a little lower end compared to Trophy and Deluxeware. Are there any other brands I should look into? Thanks again!

^Fob Factory does have some cheaper denim options but they're top denim options (f151, f161, f098 etc) are on par with the others.

I'll check them out again tomorrow. I'm so used to paying $300 to $400+ in Canada/USA for Japanese denim that anything under $250 seems "cheap".

[Iron Horse]

You could check out the Motor jeans at Motor shop in Aoyama:

Well the $300-400 Japanese denim in Japan costs about $250 max.

Please note,these jeans are a pretty good stretch in the upper block.

Just saw that Denimio has started stocking KATO.

The back pockets on the jeans look horrible though..

[Flash]

The Bureau here in Belfast used to stock Kato , was always impressed with the denim but the detailing on the jeans aren't really my cup of tea ... there shirts were always nice as well

[Frost]

Thought so as well, might try one of those shirts.
