Here's a conversation table for the DJ-501XX Heavies. This should help those who are not keen on the metric system.

I just reserved a pair of the 01 size for the DJ-501XXs.

I wear 31 in 45rpm Sorohikos, 30 in Rag and Bone and 29 in Jean Shop classic raw.

I really hope these will fit well. Fingers crossed.

[beatle]

Thanks for the chart.....

[Chponglasia]

You like them fitted or loose?

Have you checked the sizing table on his site (ok, I bet you have)?

If you're wearing sz31 in Sams I would take 02 (=31") or 03 (=32") if you like them more relaxed.

Done. 03 ordered!

Thanks for the help, everyone. I'm pretty psyched.

[Cameland]

Yeah that was probably a good move chponglasia, the heavys are pretty huge, but shrink alot.

[cabl3]

Ive got my western shirt and 501XX's coming in together in late Oct.

[indesertum]

how much did the pre-order cost you guys?

[tomenugen]

28000 yen. for just the heavies.

[Chponglasia]

Anyone have any wear on these to show??

[kenthenoob]

on denim-junkie.com there are some blogs of people wearing it, including our very own Beatle

Just saw that ... making me need to find a denim shirt like the one Beatle's wearing in the blog; again.

Any hope?

Yeah, those look great. But I was kinda hoping for some progress from people here to see what they look like as they start developing over the first few months. Just curious.

[Tenchi]

Hmm still waiting for mine to come (reserved back in June)

Tried to ask him but the language barrier sort of screwed something up lol.

Anyone else know when the previous batch is meant to be shipped out?...

[Pandemonium]

shiit, just scouring through the denim-junkie site.

everything looks so very well fitted...

End of this month or early next month (501xx 14oz and Western shirt).

[Tenchi]

Quality and fit is awesome...i love these star rivets. Will post up pics later coz camera is MIA...

I like the 501s. Anyone else order the western denim shirt?

Anyone got theirs yet?

[Chponglasia]

Anyone got fit pics of the Heavies?? Besides the ones on the site.

[Cameland]

I believe mine are the only other ones available to you atm.

How do these jeans fit in the thighs?

23.6'' seem to be pretty tight.....

Do you own a pair of RRDS and which size?

[Guest El Salvador]

I had an RRDS in size 31 (which was too big for my likings) and my 501's are size 01 (which corresponds to a size 30 in RRDS?). Anyway, the 501's are quite a bit tighter in the tighs and seat area than the RRDS I had.

Here's some pics of my DJ-501XX

[chinaman_6]

great fit! Too bad they don't have size 05 in stock, because I don't really like tight jeans. (wear 33 RRDS, like the tighs but the waist is far too big...)

[indigo_junkie]

I wear a size 34 in RRDS (but could have gotten a 33 - it was only my second pair of jeans back then). My 04 DJs fit a lot tighter in the thigh and seat. And they fit a lot tighter post soak. In hindsight, maybe I could have ordered a 05 to have a more relaxed fit, but I'm guessing this zimbabwe cotton will stretch over time. For me, it's better for jeans to stretch from tight to comfortable than from comfortable to loose.

[SLAB]

lookin good, El Salvador!

According to the Denim Junkie site, shipment of the DJ501XX Heavy has been pushed back to mid-November. It had been "early" November.

Anyone else getting these?

[kenthenoob]

aren't these shrink to fit? er... i don't remember.

I am. I got an email from D/J about a week ago informing me of the change in delivery date.

Really? I didn't.

[docnbhd]

Really? I didn't.

Actually I should've been more accurate with my statement.... I bought a pair of Horse-Rider's from DJ, when he emailed me the tracking number he also said that the next lot of Heavies would be delayed.

[Chponglasia]

Ok, now i don't feel so bad. Did he give a specific date for shipping, or just mid-November? Also, does he usually email before he send out packages?
